Ended up digging down and the seed wasn’t active. Popped in another seed but will probably go ahead and up pot everyone so nobody gets stunted. Solo cup shouldn’t be too hot with the starter mix in using anyways I don’t think.

Added a line from the RO down to the grow room. Super happy to have done my last trip down those stairs for 10 gallons of wash water and daily humidifier fills.
Setting up the 25 gallon tank with float valve once I’m ready to transplant to the beds.
Here’s the girls up potted. They’re looking pretty healthy and happy.
I think my clone mothers may have popped a few nanners in response to the accidental flip and reveg. I read pollen is only viable for a few days though and still a month or so from flower. So letting them ride and hoping they’ll settle down.

Girls are growing good. I’ve been lowering the humidity for the last few days and they should be hardened soon. Will likely switch them to the veg tent tomorrow to start adjusting to the extra light and lower humidity. May even just transplant this weekend if they start blowing up once I put them in the veg tent tomorrow.
Indy stretched to the same height as the Jelly Donutz after I dropped the light a little to be sure I didn’t burn her up. Put it back up to 100 percent and everyone seems to be taking it well.
Waiting on some adapters for the Wittflow that should be here Saturday. Going to at least setup the beds and get the dry fit in Sunday that way if they take off I’m not chasing my tail mid week.

Had to prove you could over water coco. Decided best to do it as I pulled them from the humidity dome too quickly and not yet fully hardened off. Maybe I should call this thread the Trickster Tales.
Really knocking this one out of the park so far. Might not look it but they’re starting to turn around after the environment change and over water. Planning to do final transplant to the living beds this weekend. Hoping they’re not still too shell shocked and perk back up from the poor watering before then.

Well it only took 4 days, 4 wrong parts, and 3 leaks, but I finished my 1 hour project.
I honestly might have been a little early to transplant but I was worried about the wilting maybe being related to learning coco. The roots of 3 looked great through and were just starting to climb back up. At a complete loss on what is happening with Jane. Roots looked healthy white but were hair thin and barely even out of the original coco plug. Same pack the dead seed came from, so might have just been a little old? Hoping she can build enough energy to catch up.

Cover crop is starting to pop and the girls are looking super happy after transplant. Probably filled the tank a little early because it’s drinking the initial soak pretty slow, but I’ll keep eyes on the tank water pH as it dries back a little more. It’s remineralized RO so a little drop wouldn’t be the worst anyways, but with the soil type pretty sure it shouldn’t matter either way really. Still don’t want it going too crazy though.
It’s super nice knowing the plants are basically overfed and exact moisture levels. No more anxious plant watching every day to decide whether to feed and what. Wife’s been a huge fan of the switch.

Nice work. Im just figuring out as well that “keep coco wet” is misconstrued. At least early on they almost prefer minimalistic watering.

Thanks man!
Yeah, I did like 150-200 ml each in the cups and was waiting 4-5 days between. I think I’ll half that next time.

Nice setup. What are the grey boxes that are in line with your tubing? I am using the same tray as you for the first time, but using the wicking mat.

Thanks! Those are Wittflow water timers. They hook up to moisture probes in the soil and control the release for “optimal” living soil conditions. Learned about them while watching buildasoil. They’re not really necessary though, more just a splurge because the wife likes to travel and I’m bad at watering practices. They connect up to my phone via wifi. Alternatively, I think most people leave the Autopot all the way on in veg and then weekly dry backs in flower. With living soil you don’t want a full dry back.

Interesting set up Grow Bro, I have that 2 x 4 auto tray and works great for vegging in smaller pots

Thanks Gromie!
Yeah I’m day dreaming of upgrading my veg/dry tent to either a 4x4 or 2 2x4s and fit one more tray. I went with a 3x3 before for side access but it’s just over a foot on that side and too tight for me to ever really use anyways.
Thinking I could run three on the 25 gallon tank though especially if one is early veg and micro greens. I bought those little trays for the wife but these 2 will probably rarely have the beds off of them other than soil refreshes.
Jeremy at buildasoil has shown some crazy living soil results with the grassroots Tray2Grow setup. They’ve got some Instagram videos with single plants filling a 5x5 doing top feed water only and I think fairly short veg time. I was looking at the XXLs too because he showed great results with those and a little more flexibility on placement but the bigger the bed the more new user friendly for living soil I think.

Seeing great growth in the beds. Turns out if you don’t overwater plants they grow way faster. Shout out to all the other blue thumbs out there. 
I would have definitely watered already if it weren’t for the moisture meters. Good to have a double check and happy to be learning all of this in the tent before my upcoming outdoor garden attempt.
Going to make my first try at some veg and berry growing this season. Ordered some 4x4 raised beds and 2 6x6 tent style greenhouses.
Also grabbed an olla style watering system to hopefully automate it out there as well. Any tips for starting food garden outside organic definitely appreciated.

I have 2 Jelly Donutz just finishing up in one of my tents. They will probably get the chop in the next couple days when I can find the time and my drying tent gets emptied.

Nice! Looking good!
We’ve smoked some from the dispo and it was super tasty. So far they’ve been amazing growers. I got a cross of them and the orange cream too from their pheno seeds in excited to run.

I got those same seeds with one of my orders. Unfortunately I didn’t have any luck germinating them.

Good to know, might try to pop all 4 at once instead of just 2 then. It’ll be a few months though. Probably run their raspberry parfait with it.
I just finished a run with Humboldt Dream. They grew amazing and have been great smoke. So I grabbed a handful of their strains on a sale.
