Fluffhead’s Start

@miami5th great timing brother thank you on catching that so quickly! I decided to do a full clean :sponge: out and rearrange. Your message helped me not have to do it twice!

Here’s what we got…

Coco :coconut: Melon Roomba Kush - I used a jiffy pod when I…CPR’d that thing. Didn’t expect to put it back in there but… well typical Fluffhead move.

Then we have Hash Passion who has her first root! Congrats :balloon:

And then…there’s O. Afghan… yea…

Took the wicks out - thanks! This was a great lesson.

One thing I think we can do to ensure the proper water level is to pull out the middle pod like you did and take a peak at the inside and outside pods to see if the bottom of the peat pod is hitting the water. We want the peat pod to not be touching water.

The float is a bit deceiving because you think it should be all the way to the top, right?!? But I think we want it like 2/3rds to 3/4 elevated. Next time I do a drain/fill on the Start I will measure out the 650ml + the nutes and then MARK THE FLOAT for a fill line.

Major changes today.

First, I begged spouse to let me chop down his plant in the black magic machine. They are drying. Not great quality. Hung to dry. Took that fat a$$ out bucket out of the tent and cleaned it completely.

Second, decided not to put that machine back in the tent. The cloth pots are doing extremely well (especially @OrionsCeiling choice).

Then, decided to leave the BM outside on back porch. :woman_shrugging:t2:

While I’m cleaning - may as well give the Grobo start some freshening up. What am I going to do with this three? Grobo is busy at the moment. Roomba Kush made it to a small pot and earned a space in the tent. But what about the MASSIVE o. Afghan?! And the hash passion with their beautiful roots?

They fit in the BM machine on the porch. And the roots of the big girl touched the bottom of the bucket! Hash passion’s roots were easy to remove and put in the cup meant for BM.

And then the start was empty… :disappointed:

So I bought some seeds from grower’s choice for 20% off for Valentine’s Day. And planted three new seeds in the Start. :green_heart: All autos.

Banana Kush :banana:
Northern Lights :bulb:
Gelato :shaved_ice:

Hey @Fluffhead ! Quite a remarkable recovery with the roomba plant!

With the Start, the two remaining plants are doing pretty good. I started to notice some yellowing (N deficiency probably) so I gave a small dose of Revive.

1 out of 2 plants here I will transplant into a Grobo but the plant closest to the light pole will be grown out in the Start. I think I may need to do some extreme training/bending to get her under the light’s height. It might look something like this:

@miami5th sounds like a cool idea :bulb:

Thanks for the fan idea too. Gave her a little breeze

That sci fi looking fan was the only free one :laughing:

Yeah I started to notice the beginning signs of damping off on the plant closest to the light pole. I think the floor is uneven or something because that pod is soaked while the pod on the other end is dry

I’d never thought of that… gets out level
