Busy lately. I have a dog business - holidays time now for people- which means loads of work for yours truly.
Cloudy here, humid, swampy, bleh
![Sun behind rain cloud :white_sun_rain_cloud: 🌦️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f326.png)
I look at the grows in the sunny places of USA and I feel bad like little ugly froggy :D but I can't stop looking
Bless the dehumidifier and Marcus C. Logan ! (invented zip ties in 1956) hear! hear!
So I wanted to put them in 5L air pots, right?
I have put them in the air pots alright but I had to assemble them from parts scattered around, not enough walls from that, not enough bottoms from that (some of them web, some of them grid). Air pot circus dot com

And I think I had put them at the end in 3 gallon pots
![Face with hand over mouth :face_with_hand_over_mouth: 🤭](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f92d.png)
6 plants in square 3gal in 2X4? - manageable
6 plants in 3gal spiky air pots in 3x3? - freaking awkward
Bottoms that matched at very last overlap row are green with 265mm diameter in web design, walls are 275mm high so it's 12,5L I think.
Or 9?
Or did I combine the two? lol
I have loaded in them well over 50L of
Biobizz light mix with perlite on top so they have to be 12,5 although producer says different walls match 3gal> Be smart here
So here I am- now I will have to flower in 20L plus air pots as from 9-12L transplant into super vega pot with air pruning cone in the middle would be simply stupid.
First time with LEDs, first time FIMming (effects of that are feckin bizarre too- have to make the update), first time in big air pots, first time will late twist supercropp from the bottom- I need more branches, first time with photo in that shitty 3x3...
What could possibly go wrong
Now when it comes to garden
![Woman farmer :woman_farmer: 👩🌾](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f469-1f33e.png)
I think I have a bit of early Phosphorus deficiency on girls as I am noticing blueish tint on older fans so I will up nutes with next feeding to 12ml/L- phospho is terribly low in AN Connoisseur Putti Purri Grow in my opinion.
For now during repot there were only funguses and bacteria gue brew to drink in PH 6 neutralised water.
They slurped 10L of brew in new pots and wanted more
PH might be also too low in too consistent way lately so I will swing it up a bit to 6.5 with next clean water for better phosphorus retention. Not that they need loads of it now.
5 weeks from seed just passed
![Leaf fluttering in wind :leaves: 🍃](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f343.png)
So for me- slow, low and easy growing blonde- it's the third week of vegetation done.
2-3 weeks left before I will swap to 14/10 on lights and start slow (hopefully
![Folded hands :pray: 🙏](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f64f.png)
) and low (hopefully
![Folded hands :pray: 🙏](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f64f.png)
) stretch.
That of course if I won't run out of space and will be able to slow them down a bit more.
Would love to grow more natural with room above their head but it is what it is.
week five: 18/6 light schedule/temp by day 25C , temp by night 20C, humidity kept at around 60%-70%, VPD kept in range 0,9-1,1, watered twice - once just water, once with fungus brew, foliar from seaweed (10ml/L), PH 5.8-6
Air pots were equipped into two sizes of zip tie loops and girls were finally hogtied

![Curly loop :curly_loop: ➰](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/27b0.png)
down a bit as this shit is getting out of control - especially for accustomed to predictable results mainliner
They are hungry for light so I shall start to assemble 5x5 with full spectrum soonish just I will let them colonize new pots in old conditions. One shock at the time.
I took a peek 48h after repot today and all seems to be good in this little messy gang of pineapples. More or less

Looks like bunch of nettles now

May God stay with you and protect your Devil Lettuce from unfortunes my friends
