Good day and welcome to my grow 
#25
I welcome you guys that know me and what I do back, and to the people who don’t know me please hang out with me, it’s always a great ride 
This is a simple grow where I emphasize that these are just plants and if you water them and give them light and foods you can do fine.
I don’t worry about Ph and Rh etc etc,
These things grow in terrible condition outdoors so why spend good money and all the strife when it is not necessary?
Optimal conditions are great so is perfect Ph, but I have not lost a single plant due to either being out of wack, yellowing leafs sure as some plants are more susceptible than others, but I have always gotten through flowering.
I have been fairly successful even though I am growing in a difficult growing medium 
I am in Miracle grow potting mix the stuff that says feeds for 6 months.
I explain that this stuff is not soil and why, and how it can be used as a hydro method rather than treating like soil.
But I also explain that this is not just a miracle grow thing, that what I do can be repeated with other well draining mediums.
Okay I am in Miracle grow with 3gal plastic pots, plant seeds directly and water to the size of the plant, will increase water as the plant gets taller and wider leaving dry soil around and below the root zone until watering to run off when the plant is tall as the pot and leafs reach the edge of the pot.
Because of the time released nutes in my miracle grow potting mix I don’t have to add nutes from seedling to mid veg where I supplement with Green rush organic grow nutes which gives my plants micro nutes which miracle grow nutes doesn’t supply, and I supplement flowering nutes either Green rush flowering period or Flower power flowering period nutes.
This is pretty simple, I grow medium sized bushes and I top once at the 11th node leaving 10 sets of branches giving me 20 main colas, I flip the closet when the tallest plant is around 18 inches tall hopefully they will only double in the stretch.
My closet is a 2x6x6 space for the 3 plants I go out, I start 4 in case one fails but I give one to a buddy of mine. My closet doesn’t have any ventilation except for opening the closet doors during my waking hours 10am till lights out at 8pm.
Im using a 100w HLG veg spectrum board for the 4 seedlings and will add 2 more veg boards as they get bigger. I will flip and go to 2 HLG 200w Rspec and a 100w Rspec in the middle.
Okay I decided to do all Ethos genetics strains this grow and I went with 3 photos 1 auto, but 1 of the photos didn’t pop, so I planted a 2nd auto today solely for my buddy to grow out.
Here is the lineup
First up was a Auto from Ethos and Happy valley genetics. Pineapple Diesel Auto she is a day ahead of the others 
Second is Psy-Op R1 fem, still bent over but looking good
Third is Mandarin cookies fem again still bent over but healthy
And 4th I planted a 2nd auto from the Ethos Happy valley list today
Pineapple Runtz
I’m trying to pop this one just for my friend to grow out since she would be several days behind the others
And here is how I start off my plants pot of soil dry, a seed and a full 16oz cup of water
I dig a hole in the middle of the pot 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep, drop in a seed and gently cover the seed, then take the 16oz cup of water and carefully pour slowly around the seed so as not to disturb it but empty the cup.
Now there is a wet zone 3 to 4 inches in diameter and maybe 5 inches deep, giving the seed a nice moist bed for the tap roots to explore 
dry soil around and below the root zone suck out excess water, my soil has great drainage not soggy.
I don’t add water to the root zone for up to a week allowing oxygen to permeate into the root zone, but I never allow the root zone to dry out ever.
Well I will break here as we have nothing to do for a few days
I hope everyone is having a great weekend
Happy growing yall till next time
