I lost track too, hehe. Hey smokey
Hope you are well my friend.
I had 25 seedlings and they got hit by mites.
I managed to save them but the lower leaves and branches were wiped out.
So I popped dozen more that night.
I also gave away 7.
So it should be in the 25 plant range.
But I'm not sure myself.
I'll get a head count shortly.
I want to wait until I'm sure of the ones I'm going to keep.
Then I'll photograph and document each one.
Eventually it should be 25.
I want to make RSO and concentrates in the fall.
And have enough to smoke for a long long time.

Stay safe
Bill

Hi Bill , that works fine good job by Howie!!
Now for the show!

Hi @Bill284! Happy 4th! I had some catching up to do. Wow. The Zkittlez is going nuts! This journal is a superior product. Not that I’m advocating for you, but I’d be surprised if you aren’t included in a contest or two. Fabulous.

So…what ever happened to watering from the river? No way to make that work for the greenhouse?

I was hauling as long as I could.
Then the water level dropped 2 feet.
It became too much for us.
Howie kept floating down stream when I was getting water.
He doesn't understand current yet.
Thank you so much for the compliment on the journal.
I'll run it till probably November by the time I harvest and make RSO.
I'm going to show tips as I go and uppot through to harvest and cure.
I've got a few things I think people will find interesting.
Other than the fact we both have covid.
But running 50 girls and harvesting that much every 4 weeks you learn shortcuts and what doesn't work, hehe
I'm hoping to scrounge a pump, I have 700 litre capacity.
I just don't want to fill the greenhouse before they are even spread out.
I wish I could partially bury one to stay at ground temp.
We will see, I'm still doing the layout.
Freeken July 4th my friend Happy Happy.
But summer will fly by I need a boost.
These cold nights are terrible for them.
I had the heat on this morning, July think about that fek.
Take care thanks for the compliments.

Stay safe
Bill

I’m so sorry to hear about Covid, I hope y’all are doing alright!

I just got done with a serious trip, ended up puking my guts out while seeing kaleidoscopes. (Won’t get into it too much, I don’t wanna make a trip report on your wall xD)

Stay Well, amigos!

You should look into building a ram pump. No electricity needed. Uses the power of running water to lift it over long distances. They're not the most efficient things in the world as you waste a bunch of water to make it work, but with your source being the river you don't much care about that.

It's basically a few short bits of pvc pipe and two check valves installed opposite to each other in series and uses the water pressure from the flowing water to build back pressure between the valves which forces it out through the outlet hose installed between them. It can lift water a surprisingly high amount over a long distance.

Pretty cool, low tech and easy to build. Would be simple to have it constantly top off a rain barrel or two with the constant excess draining back into the river.

Thanks Azi You rock.
I'll check that now.

How about simply dropping a sump
pump pump in the river at the right level? On a rock or whatever. Hose from there to the greenhouse. Just gotta plug it in but it could work no?

 

[ReservoirDog]

Dammit Bill, Covid. Well, I know you`ll both be fine, but please be sure to look after yourself and prioritize your recovery. I know that makes me sound a jackass but I don't care, I just want you both to get over this quickly. PS, I`m about to watch BGP quali... all caught up now `cept for this weekend`s event. Then we`ll be able chew F1 fat on the reg. gr8 thread m8, hope to chat soon. Best to you and yours, as usual.

Sure it would probably work, but what's the fun in that? There's no build involved, you just plug it in and go. BORING!



And this way there's no electricity involved so might be an easier sell to upper management. Plus the whole water and electricity mix adds more risk to the mix. I know they're designed for that combination but still.

Problem is head.
I've only got a sump pump.
Greenhouse is 25' - 30' above river level now.
It's low.
Head on a sump is maby 10'
I need a little gas pump , I've been eyeing up.
Or a submersible well pump.
I'll just hook it up.
Pump my 700 litres and put it away.
Then the sump pump sits in the 100 litre tank hooked to a hose.
But I'm so far behind and it's still freezing at night.
If mama reads she will kill me but I have bran new lights collecting dust.
Still in the boxes.
So I might slip one in on a timer 11 pm to 4 am I'm thinking.
I just have to get it Ok'ed I guess.
After burning down our last house I don't have a leg to stand on here.
But I have to try, hehe.
We see
Hey thanks Jon I appreciate the idea and you taking the time to help me.
Oh Jeezy that goes for everyone else too not just Jon.

Hey Azi I don't think it has the lift.
Head pressure of 25' rise is a lot.
But cool units, might build one just to see.
Thanks so much Azi.
