Will you be trimming roots? I know if they get too massive I usually do. I might, I'm not sure yet. I'll see if they grow to the point where they become an issue. |

Did you grow them in the Sprout last time? Try going back and checking the timeline of your previous project if you kept one. I have been real frugal on the nutrients..but check the growth/timeline of the other project in the same machine .

It looks like I had pods one month after starting my seeds last time, and it's been almost a month for these but I don't even have flowers yet.

I could be wrong, but I always thought that cal/mag was for green leaf enhancement and health, and your leaves look very healthy.. if it were me, I would add a tiny pinch of phosphorus bloom booster to start the flowering.
Maybe others can chime in and enlighten me on this.

Calcium is used by cell walls, so more calcium = tougher, more durable plants. Magnesium is used by the plant as an essential part of photosynthesis. I normally add it early on to all of my plants, but apparently I didn't with this pea, so I added it since I was adding nutrients anyway. I'll give it a few days to see how it likes the extra nutes, and if it responds positively then I'll add a bit of bloom booster. |

I did a rinse, scrub, and refill on this today. I normally grow my plants without R&Rs because I can't use tap water, but the water had a brown discoloration and a film forming on top.
I'm not sure what it was (it wasn't nutrient stain!) but it didn't smell bad or even have a noticeable smell. I'll leave it on pure water for 24h and give it nutrients again after that.

Added 2ml of nutrients, and I'll keep a close eye on them.

I'm considering using this as an experiment by leaving every pod on the plant to see how many it ends up making, and whether or not the plants can support that much weight.
Any votes for (or against) trying that out?

Added 4ml of nutes! I decided not to experiment, I'll harvest a pod or two today.  |

I said I was going to harvest some pods, but I didn't get around to it. Is it better to pull them out of the flower, or to cut just above the flower?  |

No special reason why, but I clip above.
