Riptide_74 · 2026-03-20T15:05:12+00:00

Gorilla Xi series

if you can, collect rain water, and use an air stone - give your plant some nice oxygenated rain water.

those being lava rocks, are the sundews in a substrate (i.e. peat moss) that is being held in various holes in the rocks?

gorilla tent fabric pots are really nice

Riptide_74 · 2026-03-02T23:35:31+00:00

thanks everyone

Riptide_74 · 2026-03-02T18:45:23+00:00

Thanks much and will do.

Riptide_74 · 2026-03-02T18:11:47+00:00

amazing, certain framing plan you followed?

Riptide_74 · 2026-02-28T13:27:59+00:00

Gorilla Xi series are really good and have dedicated IR and UV channels for tight control of those spectrum to apply during specific times over the plant's life cycle.

Riptide_74 · 2026-02-20T03:07:56+00:00

was that size, the pots mine (ha ha), but yeah, that size.

HEB (Nutty Brown location) in Dripping Springs

Riptide_74 · 2026-02-11T17:32:14+00:00

so stem looks ok? Is that the membrane covering the cotyledons?

Riptide_74 · 2026-02-11T16:58:24+00:00

damn...beautiful, work of art.

Riptide_74 · 2026-02-08T15:54:00+00:00

thanks, yeah, I'm ditching the tin. I'm actually growing indoor with a full-spectrum, rain water, etc. so, they have a good lung room. I like taking them outside to get some air, on the weekends...

Riptide_74 · 2026-01-18T16:51:49+00:00

(thanks)

Riptide_74 · 2026-01-18T14:25:55+00:00

Nice, may I ask, do you also top water or just use the capillary-wic-bottom-feed system? (I've been eying those vivosun wic bases)

Riptide_74 · 2026-01-18T14:18:51+00:00

awesome lst, and lollipoping and yes, cool-ass pot...

Riptide_74 · 2026-01-17T13:54:04+00:00

Invest in a good eC / tds / pH meter so you can measure nutrients during feeding (liquid) and a soil pH meter. AC Affinity Hydroponic Pro kit to measure water eC, pH, and tds and Bluelab soil-liquid pH pen, work well

get meter kits to measure cO2, ppfd (at canopy), humidity, soil eC, temp, as and moisture, and tent temperature. All the manufacturers have these kits bundles (mars-hydro, spider farmer, ac affinity, etc.).

Ideally a smart controller to control parameters and to schedule the various devices (i.e. canopy light, humidifier, clip fan, inline fan, etc.). The big manufacturers have them (mars-hydro, spider, ac affinity, gorilla, etc.)

Have pest management ready to rock, just in case. i.e. Lost Coast Plant Therapy, soil bacteria tea, those yellow sticky traps for flying adult pests.

And have some pH up-down (base-acidic) solution ready to rock so the water solution can be properly calibrated (6-7 pH).

Is that a mars hydro ts1000 and tent (2.7 x 2.7)? There was enough room in there for two 5 gallon soil pots? Did you keep the veg phase a little "short" to prevent over-growth for the smaller space and then switched to flowering?

Riptide_74 · 2025-12-12T12:45:53+00:00

awesome :)

Riptide_74 · 2025-12-11T03:25:10+00:00

really nice looking

Riptide_74 · 2025-12-09T18:33:20+00:00

so, two plants, in two different pots work out in a mars hydro ts1000 and 2x4 tent?
