Thanks guys, though I don't think I came up with the idea - I'm sure some people wrap their standard Airpots in them. I remembered this mini carbon filter I made years ago for a micro grow, I'm not sure if it was my idea back then or googles' but it's a similar technique.

this had me in stitches

 

Great to see a more light hearted approach and just what I intended. This is meant to be fun and so far I'm loving this

 

Lots of variety, various grow tech's and more importantly a bit of community fun 

 

Kind regards

seriously tho....  could you use a hessian sack  to grow  as this should let air to the roots too ??  

paniking a tad as  the news just said theres  a MASSIVE  storm due to hit on thursday with gales up to 70mph forcast ......  hoping my ladies down at the plot will be ok .....

I'll start this update with a couple of progress photos up to more recent times. It's been a slow veg under just the little CFL - until a few days ago when I got the main light back up and running.

 

10th June

 

16th June

 

Topped at the 3rd on the 20th

 

I took the opportunity to get in her tights and there wasn't much to see really. I assume the roots are building density on the inside. The reason I went for the airpot idea is to avoid root bound issues in the sense of root circling. I'm thinking she'll just stop growing when the roots are at full capacity 

 

 

Comfrey mulch keeping moisture in at the surface..

 

After topping on the 20th - Probably should have eased her under the newly fixed light but I wanted to get things organised.

 

26th June - brings us up to date. I caught temps at 31 this afternoon and shes looking a bit droopy tonight. I don't think she's overwatered, it's pretty hard to do with all those holes..perhaps just dealing with a lot of stresses right now (topped/light intensity increase/heat) and battling to live her best life. I misted her several times with rhizowater to...i don't know, cool her down? Check out the purple stemmage and 6 fingered leaves.

 

Looking forward to getting the old top transplanted into a 10l airpot.

I just had to post that before I lost it all somehow. This is a fun little project and I'm enjoying this subforum and being a part of it. Good luck to all, thanks for looking in and I'm going to have a nosey at what you're all up to now.

Nice one 

 

I'm gonna be one of the last ones to start at this rate, but at least I've got the advantage of seeing all the good ideas before I start! 

 

Good luck with the grow matey.

[HSO-Mark]

Waste not want not as my old man used to say so great use of the top portion (I am correct in thinking that the top was chopped and cloned?)

 

Quite surprised at the slow root growth as this girl tends to go to work on her rootzone first then focused on actual vegative growth. That said she's been under a low lumen light until recent so I'm sure this will kick in growth in all ways now she has more light

 

Thanks for the update mate I'll drop back in on the next 

 

Kind regards

Looking good mate and definitely a good idea to use the tops as a clone, it works and you'll get an extra jar or 2 at the end, I'll pull up my seat and watch the show

@leapsure skemor I see what you mean about us having similar pheno... I've just topped mine this morning, put the top to root also. 

Onwards and outwards

Good luck rooting the top @zibzabz. I done the same on my noodle grow if you want to have a look, I think it's on the 4th page
