Looking good, lots of nice healthy starts!

Wow, nice! Some serious quantity going on there, and your setup looks really slick.

Your username, though, makes the thread update listing look like it's broken.

Yeah, sometimes it just shows the U) and nothing after that. Not sure if I can change it or not.

Really... sounds like the forum might not always escaping the text correctly, then. It's not exactly shocking, considering this is built in PHP, but it's not a great sign as far as quality goes. Reminds me of little Bobby Tables.

Thanks, eh! No, those are not the final pots. The ones I really want to get a lot out of will go into 15 gallon pots (4 of them). Then most (around 20) into 10 gallon pots and the rest into 5 gallon buckets. I also have a bunch of 3 gallon pots if needed.

These 4 plants below from last year were in the 15 gallon pots. However, they were 2nd year plants overwintered from the 2017 season. They didn't produce pods as early as the 1st season plants though, they spent more time vegging out first and got absolutely huge and then produced a couple hundred pods each towards the end of the season. There was easily a couple hundred more on each plant that just didn't have time to finish up before the frost came. That fence is 4ft tall. So this year, I'll get to see what 1st year plants can do in the 15 gallon pots.

So, in this pic below, you can see the garden goes from left to right, largest to smallest. This is in direct relation to pot size and also those 2nd season plants.

There are 8 rows total, 2 on the outside edges and then 3 "rows" that are 2 buckets/pots wide each in the middle.

From left to right, the far left row are the 2nd year plants in 15 gallon pots.

The next row is 1st year plants in 10 gallon pots.

Next row is 5 gallon buckets.

Next row is 3 gallon pots, and the final row (smallest) on the far right are my spare plants left in the one gallon pots.

Even the ones in 1 gallon pots did produce 15 or 20 pods each still, but just never got taller than 18 inches or so.

Hopefully summer will be as good as winter was bad [emoji16]
And the black flies mind their manners [emoji16]

Yeah for sure! The flys were insane last year! I'm betting with all this snow/water though, the bugs, especially mosquitos, will be terrible again.

Update time!

Things are going well, I have my 3rd intake fan on the way, should be here tomorrow. I also finally cut 3 exhaust vent holes on the top of the tent, opposite side as the intake fans, so air is moving nicely now and temps are staying right Round 75° to 77°. Humidity in the mid 30's

Bumped up the cal-mag with last nights watering to 5ml per gallon, (was at 2ml) just for a little boost. I'll go to 3ml for my normal waterings. Still at 5ml per gal for the CNS17 Grow.

This has been my experience. We are in for a nightmare.

Your Lost in Space grow looks suspiciously more than less, though...Insuring against deer attack?

PaulG · Mar 22, 2019

Great looking bunch of starts.
They will crowd that tent in no time!

Some update pics.

These pics are 11 days after the last set I uploaded.

PaulG · Apr 6, 2019

Plants looking healthy and raring to go, Troy!

The nice reflection on your grow space liner
makes your grow look almost infinite :rofl:

Good luck going forward!

Devv · Apr 12, 2019

I have to agree with Paul, well done! The plants look super healthy

Thanks guys! I'll get some updated pics posted this weekend. They are getting big FAST. I bumped up my nutes a bit last week. I'm currently watering with 7ml/gal CNS17 grow and 3ml/gal Cal-Mag.

Here we go. Some updated pics! Got a new phone also, Google Pixel 3 XL. This thing takes awesome pics! They do get downgraded a bit in quality though when uploading them using the tappatalk app.

I think I'm going to trim some of the lower foliage this weekend to improve airflow to the soil.

Thanks for stopping by!
