Yep just the 1/2 inch hose. I might try the flex seal stuff and see if it works. We will see and it cheap just need time to make it to the store.
Pardon my absence. In veg I water to runoff and wait for pots to get light, and or if I can see them slightly wilt. The time gets shorter between waterings. So it may begin with every 3 or 5 days. It may be different for different soils maybe. If they need more time to dry down low I top water with a fraction of whatever it takes about every other day if it's going to be a while like starting out, hoping to keep my micro herd happy up there.Oh quick question how do you guys water your big 10g pots or bigger. Trying to refrain from over watering while keeping microbes alive. Thank you in advance!
OH my Congratulations to you and mom! The greatest day!
Budz are getting somewhere Chief! I know what you mean about getting to a place in the grow and feeling like it's just mechanics from there in. Glad you're there, I'll be some time hehe.So things are starting to settle as we get into the routine of having 2 kids to take care of but things are going well in the grow. I did my last top dress today. It included earthworm casings, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, shrimp meal, crab meal, and finally bone meal. I think we should be good with just water and microbes here on out but we will see. I went pretty heavy on the amendments on each top dress I’ve done so I’m sure it will be fine. The life in the soil is pretty crazy under the straw the soil moves every time I put the straw up to take a look. The flowers on the seed I popped are bigger than the clone but everything is looking great. Both plants are also getting frosty and smell amazing. They should finish around the same time but we will see.
Ya I lollipoped the plants the day before I went into flower. That day I also did a heavy defoliation. And on day 21 I did another defoliation of most of the leaves that weren’t coming off bud sites. To give all the tops light and air flow. It seems to work for me. Next time I might take a little less off but we will see.
Sometimes ya gotta shake things up! Good call!Flower Update:
Everything is chunking up nicely. The clone has smaller buds on than the Applewood from seed but that may be my mistake it wasn’t getting watered properly until the first 2 weeks of flower. We are now on day 36 and I’m happy with where things are. Just hoping everything gets pretty chunky and of course more frost. I really can’t complain about the frost it’s looking nice already. Everything will be simple here until the harvest. Just water and microbes.
PS: I think I’m going to start more seeds I’m not Wowed by anything in the garden so far my clones haven’t rooted and it’s been 21 days already not sure if they will make it much longer if they don’t root anyway. I think im going with the first strain I ever grew to see if I’ve learned anything from all this time of growing
I definitely have to shake things up keep it interesting. Otherwise I get bored so easily. Things will get more interesting in here as we get veg and flower both going. And get some more strains in here!
