| clones in soil |
Just transplanted to my soil mix |
03/15/05 |
| droopy clones |
Just after being placed under the veg lights, there is a little drooping, but they adjust quickly |

| Original soil |
I'm in recycled soil this time around, but originally it was pro-mix and 1/3 perlite. This pic is from last years last grow. |

| Stacked planters |
When a grow is done, and with roots still present and untouched, I thoroughly flush with hot, warm and cold water, about 7.5 gallons through the nine gallons of soil volume in each stack. Stacking them makes the water work that much harder and keeps me from using so much fresh water. |

| Straining the soil of roots |
I do, some dont and claim it still works fine. I remove them by turning my soil over in a wire basket which is in a collection basket. I break the mass up with the tool and shake the wire screen vigorously for about 30 seconds, all it takes for the soil to fall through and the rootball to seperate |

| Roots in screen |
Make sure you remove roots from the soil in the first few days after harvest or they will softne and break apart on the screen instead of getting caught up in it. |

| reclamation box |
The cleaned soil is added to a box for drying it in between uses. I stir it up a bit every time I go by and that's all the maintenance it needs |
03/15/05 |
| The soil pile |
This is about 75 gallons of soil and 1/3 perlite |
03/15/05 |
| transplant day |
Everyone is moved into one gallon containers with recycled soil and fed a light veg fert with superthrive |
03/16/05 |
| veg lights |
My veg lights are tube fluoros, 12 @ 36,000 lumens. I can veg 12 in 3.5 gallon containers under this setup |
03/16/05 |
| 13 days into veg |
They have been fed once and are very ready for transplant to flowering containers. All the girls are between 12" and 14" tall |

| perlite |
You can see I use a lot of perlite in my mix |
03/16/05 |
| transplanted |
All 20 are put into the 3 gallon flowering containers using the recycled soil. So far it has done an excellent job at growing the plants |
03/16/05 |
| All 20 are moved under the HPS |
Due to the low wattage per sqf, I'll be rotating the planters on an every other day basis to keep the ouside ones under the most intense light |
