That’s good info. Coincidentally doing my first outdoor grow this year as well. I usually germinate three and keep two (indoor), but I decided to hang on to the third and just see how it does outside. My mistake was not putting it directly in the ground like you did. She’s in a 15gal and still under-potted, meaning I have to hand feed with solution, which is absolutely not something I wanted to do when I popped it in a solo cup on a lark. Next year it’s in the ground for sure, so done with pots for my pot.

Totally get what you’re saying re: batteries. For what it’s worth, most ball vapes are plug in. Best analogy I can give is they’re basically electric bongs. If you ever get the chance to try one, don’t hesitate, I am beyond confident it will blow your socks off! For lawn-chair portability, I grab the tinymight2, and for anywhere else portability, I also still grab the rolling papers. :)

Looks really good, how long was the total grow time? I think the advantage of growing inside is speed and control, but you’re right, you can’t beat sunshine when it comes to intensity, and more importantly, simplicity.

As to your tolerance levels, have you heard about our Lord and Savior, the Ball Vape? You can get wildly more efficient with your consumption if you’re a heavy user. I easily cut down to less than half of what I was smoking while achieving the same effects. Granular temperature control also means you can tune your vaping experience to the moment; if you want couch lock, or a light feeling , whatever, it doesn’t matter, it’s only a spin of the dial away.

Cheers and thanks for sharing your grow!

I have been using their two part connoisseur line for a while now, and it’s generally set and forget. I would refill my bucket back up each morning to the same level, but didn’t have to bother with ph, etc., and do a full replacement every 4 days or so. I tried that with aero at first and would quickly see deficiency signs, so then I tried just letting it run down and replacing res when it’s low, but that resulted in crazy excess.

I added some additional lighting, which is helping it chew through more food, but the biggest change was refilling my ras back to roughly the same tds values a couple times a day, instead of once a day with a preset volume.

I am surprised you are PH’ing your water while running the ph perfect line. Does that have to do with running the full masters track? I didn’t really have luck moving the needle the few times I’ve tried.

From my understanding, and the marketing propaganda, the surfactants and chelation make everything available for uptake as long as the range is > 4 and < 8ish. I genuinely stopped years ago, but I do miss the control sometimes.

I use the same by happenstance, and have for many grows with my old setup. The biggest issue I was getting is nitrogen abundance, clawing, etc., while seeing obvious signs of calcium/magnesium deficiency at the same time. I would frequently get nutrient burn, but even dialing my res back 10% would result in pink stems (phosphorus deficiency).

I mostly have things stable now, but the damage is done, it looks terrible… but it’s massive so I got that goin for me I guess.

Anyway, ultimately I changed how I was topping up my reservoir and things seem better, I am just not sure if I should try something else or not on the next run.

Very nice, what nutrients are you running in your aero grow? I’ve really struggled since switching from dwc, thinking something is off with my methodology at this point.

This post reminds me of a friend of mine who likes a song so much, he will only listen to it twice a year, once on New Year’s and once on his birthday. He says each time is like the first time because “the pathways stay fresh”. He’s been consistent for at least 7 years.

If you’re curious: Toccata - OVERWERK

Are these in pots or in the ground? Those leaves look perfect, really nice one for sure.

It’s a security\legal risk to allow adhoc wireless networks within your environment, pretty much any organization above a certain size has the same restrictions.

You could theoretically allow anyone to access your router directly, which would let them bypass agreeing to the Acceptable Use Policy, for example, shifting liability back to the organization for that users behavior.

You see this often in data centers where a set of double doors open on an exterior wall to allow equipment to be forklifted onto upper floors where a freight elevator may not be available. Idk how to make that sentence less dry, sorry. 😬

And Yes I would have slaves. But I would feed em and house em and treat them right and made sure they were alright

You’d be one of the good slave owners, did I get that right?

Healthy plants need to be ignored just the right amount in order to thrive. Over watering is harder to recover from than under watering, for what that’s worth. The leaves still look good, albeit a little light on nitrogen, so a full recovery is totally possible. My current grow experienced complete root loss at about the same age due to an equipment oversight, and you would never be able to tell with how lush and green it is now.

You got this!

It would be helpful to get a picture of the roots, but a total WAG is you might be fawning over them too much and perhaps they are getting over watered. Just a guess though…

Roots should be white and bright.

Hard to give other input without pictures, but seedlings/early growth should be fine in normal soil, you really shouldn’t need to supplement so early unless there is some other mitigating factor.

Easy. Falcor, the Luckdragon.

Cool dude, thanks for taking the time to share all of this. Good luck with your hash.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that would be low pressure aeroponics, right? Do you use that just for root establishment, or are you planning to run it to flower with LPA? I just moved to aero from many years of DWC, by happenstance.

I didn’t stick with Ryujinx long enough to suss out all of the issues, but within the first half hour of playing TOTK on it, I encountered texture problems several times. Ultimately performance is why I moved to back to yuzu, and haven’t really had any issues in 70+ hours of playing on it

I think they totally got that, and their point was painting Stonehenge didn’t help stop climate change, as evidenced in the last panel.

We were very *very *close to replacing our ~700 office Cisco SD-Wan environment with VeloCloud, which is owned by VMware. The Broadcom merger put the brakes on the project completely, they missed out on a few million dollars on that effort alone. The Velo guys were totally in the dark on what was coming down the pipe for them, Broadcom forced them to change hardware vendors on day one, for example.

Alleged child molester Kevin Spacey? That Kevin Spacey???

Engineering is engineering. You design it, you build it, you test it. Engineering. We shouldn’t gatekeep words.

With that said, I recognize that certain engineering disciplines have overlap with public safety, and should come with some qualifications to back it up.
