As far as environment, we got the exhaust fan installed in the garage to help keep the odor from inside of our home. As for the ladies, three of the four, are doing wonderfully. The Green Crack in the LR corner is just making really huge, very healthy looking, 11 blade leaves that shade all of the branches, including the tops. But, she isn't getting big, like I would expect from all of that solar power, and the genetic is supposed to be a stretcher. As long as she looks healthy, I'm going to let it run and see where she goes. I defoliated some of the big leaves just to allow airflow under the canopy. She is, however, the first to show me a white hair today. She may be one of those small and mighty ladies. The two Venus Blue are very similar, as one would expect, but also have their differences. Lucy, in the RR corner has smaller leaves, but more of them and is just thick with branches reaching up toward the top of the canopy. I defoliated a few of the bigger top leaves to allow light and airflow into the canopy. Lucy, in the RF corner is also a Venus Blue, and is also the only one in the second round on the living soil. She's rolling! She's been supercropped and I threw up the screen just to see how full I can get it before I flip to flower in a few more weeks. This is my first grow with the screen, so if anyone has suggestions, feel free to hit me up.
@mlsheahan,
You are in the right place, easy to ask questions here and lots of ppl ready to answer. You got the right idea, keep reusing your soil, you got this!
20gal pot !!! Holy God. I gotta look thru your other stuff. But that's insane lol biggest I've seen yet.
Definitely following I got the room should I try this if I can ??
Best of luck on these girls . They look great!!!!
I'm back again lol.
I saw u mention a foliar spray before lights out.
Curious what exactly ur using ? I'm sry if mentioned, and why at night ?
I've always kinda kept to the no moisture at night thing. So only spray when I have them out from under the lights.
Thx again for sharing ur process!!
Since it is all organic enzymes, you can actually foliar spray Thrive while in flower. I don't, but they say you can without herm to either the consumer or the plant. However, I do add it to my soil drench watering maybe once a week at the rate of 2oz per gallon of water.
@mlsheahan, sweet , thx for the reply . Definitely going to look into it. I use a spray usually when I pull them out from under the light to feed or trim . Would be so much easier to just once or twice a week spray right as Their getting lights out. I'm using "tps-canopy boost" not sure if it's even close to what u use. I'd hav to compare now I know the name.
This stuff seems to work magic when I see alil lightness in the leaves give a spray n next day they look happy again. But I don't like to spray this that much, not at all after veg either.
Sry to ramble there. But again thx for sharing what u do, it's looking AMAZING .!!
@Grow4Releaf, regarding the part about keeping moisture down with lights out, I run multiple fans that blow directly into the canopy, and do my best to defoliate just enough to prevent leaves from laying on top of each other. I've not had problems with moisture.....yet.
@mlsheahan,
That is good stuff, pumpkin ferment really dumps a lot of juice! It is better for flowering, even to transition to flowering. Just use a very small amount of brown rice vinegar with that, balance and cleanser. Also if you strain out the juice from that pumpkin FPJ then put the solids back into glass container with 2/3 water and cover for 3 months, you will get a beautiful pumpkin vinegar, could speed it up if you add a couple tablespoons of raw vinegar with the "mother". That will help create the pH for the vinegar and get it moving faster. You will see a film on top form, that will be the SCOBY, symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. That is when you know you have kick ass vinegar. All good if not though, may just take more time.

@TheFattyMcCoy, I used a whole plant fermented pumpkin tea just this week. Plants are looking great, but I really don't know how much benefit it had provided yet. They were growing healthy and happy already.
