Well, we're about ready to get another one underway.
Since I managed to get my coco issue under control, the ladies have bounced back in tremendous fashion.
We have some of the same players from last time. Left to right: Banana Cake from IHG, Rainbow Driver #1 from Archive, Banana Peel from Inkognyto.
Plans as of right now are to veg them up some and get to scroggin. Thinking 1-2 weeks of veg time will be plenty.

I have some baby pics to share.
Clearwater Pint Sized. (Gello x Creamsicle #4)
Clearwater The Jelly Donut. (White Hot Guava #35 x Apple Fritter)
Clearwater Cereal Bars. (FPOG x Creamsicle #4)
I lost my Cannarado Black Lemon Cake, so I had to start a new one. She should be popping up by tomorrow. That damn coco issue threw me for a big loop...got too complacent with how I'd been doing things and paid the price. Live and learn.

So... We went from this on 7/25:
To this on 8/04:
The major hang-up to this system is I have coco on top of hydroton in the pots and the coco doesn't always get saturated properly during the flood. As long as I get sufficient root mass in the hydroton, that doesn't matter. And that's what I'm waiting on with the Banana Peel.
All that aside, I will be flipping to flower this week...I can't let it go any longer with the way that Banana Cake stretches.
Stay tuned...

Wtf! Lol your banana cake stretches. I can't get mine to move an inch ! Too funny
socaljoe

Haha. It's not the worst, but it is the stretchiest of the ladies in there.
The tall one to the right of center, that's my BC. From the last run. And that was rooted clones thrown right into flower too, no veg time.

U know what's funny , I am just now realizing just how short a stretchy variety can knock veg time in half
socaljoe
Cocaine Cowboy
Oh yeah, no doubt. But that's a double edged sword too...it's really easy to run out of headroom with a stretcher.

My new thing lately is flipping the stretchers when still in 1gal . Been working out

Nice. I'm looking to start playing with 6x6x6 rockwool cubes starting on my next grow. I want to play around more with this flood and drain style of growing.

Used to grow in rw . It is awesome can't wait to see the setup

@Big Perm taught me a cool trick using 4' hanger poles...I had never thought to use them for a net support.
Anyway, got my net installed for the initial splaying out. I'll be flipping to flower in the next few days.
Another layer of netting will go in to act as support...I learned my lesson last time with the heavy buds flopping all over the place.

Yeah man, I can't wait to get some cubes going. I imagine I'll stumble at first, but I still think it'll be awesome.

We just started day 5 of flower cycle. I don't run 12/12, I've been running 10/14. I haven't done a direct comparison, but I like the shorter lights on period.
Anyway, they're blowing right up on me. @sfrigon1 the left side is Banana Cake, you can see the difference compared to the Rainbow Driver (center) and Banana Peel (right).
Looks like this one is shaping up to be a proper run.
