UPDATE......

So the time has come where we are going to put some plants in the 500 4-gallon buckets with lids that i purchased a short while back....When i first purchased the buckets i did 1 of the 250 Braoin Strain Red plants im growing exclusively for these buckets....just so you know the other 250 buckets will be Trinidad Scorpion Red from Isolated seed stock...Here's the 1 bucket i put a 4" pot Brain in about 3 weeks ago...already BOOMING!!! And SOLID as a rock! This week i have been potting up the rest of the 4" Brain Strain Red in these buckets...finished today....will have pics up by saturday or so i hope....

Also, this week my dad has been installing the pressurized drip system with the inline ferts (like an I.V. mainlined to these BABIES!!) Each plant will have a dripper spike right into the top of the bucket...again, those pics coming saturday as well

Got the Trinidad Scorpion Moruga seeds in the mail yesterday that i purchased from The Hot Pooper...Thanks again boss!

Here they all are soaked for 2 hours and them in some DIRT!! Got about 700 of them going now....600 from Pooper and another 100 i already had on hand... Like my friend AJ says...if theres no pics it didnt happen...so......

2 X 288 cell tray & 1 X 128 sell tray = 704

Heres the first 288

Heres the second... Notice the last 2 rows in this flat.......Yellow Morugas and the BAD ASS MACK DADDY of all of the Morugas...the Trinidad Scorpion "Satan's Red" Moruga!! Those will be grown out at my home and done "Isolated" for seed stock purposes...

And heres the 128....

I've been reading your glog and i might of missed it but what kind of mix is in your seed flats? Yes i know the season is over already.... Just trying to gather some info from the pros on here for next year....

The soil mix we use is "G-14 Super Top Secret Classified" info...lol...sorry...Just a mix of peat and some other stuff......not too hard to replicate with a lil trial and error Again, im terribly sorry, but some stuff has to stay "somewhat" secret Start with about 65% Peat and then start adding some common additives and it wont be long till you figure it out You see there...i ALMOST gave it all away...lol

K thanks Dale, but im tryin out some supersoil mix with perlite and vermiculite topped off with some good ol worm castings... Not sure if its goin to work better than plain ol dirt... That mixture im using for the pot up and just some seed startin mix for the startin tray

My guess is 65% peat and the other 35% spiced bourbon. That way you dont care so much if your germination rate tanks
