they're frickin' huge. i'm getting nervous. they are doing there beginning of flower growth spurt thing. they are well over my head. i'm not scared of any in particular, other than being swallowed by them. i'm awe struck. i can't get to the back ones to feed anymore. i'm going to have to crawl underneath. the colas are going to get huge and i'm going to have to figure out a way to support all of them. that worries me. i'm looking at 100's of hours of trimming. that worries me. they already smell up our whole property. i'm no so worried about that but i don't want to be a "nuisance" to the neighborhood. as good as it smells some people don't want it constantly wafting into their yards. i worry about smell complaints. i'm not to worried about thieves but i do jump at every noise in the night. we have possums running around everywhere out there at night and they make some WEIRD noises. i wish they'd just flower so i can rst easy.

get some 3/8" hose and snake it in to your plants... that is probably the easiest way to water... (as long as you can see good down there). Basil, Rosemary, and mint are all good herbs to have growing to help mask the smell. You also might want to start to mulch them with cedar bark (as that also usually masks the smell), but watch your humidity using cedar bark, you don't want mold.....
i have a hose with a wand for water. it's the feeding with 5 gallon buckets that will get me. i need a feeder that i can attach to my hose.
i don't think there is anyway to mask the smell. they aren't even flowering yet and our whole property stinks.

Get a 5-gallon bucket (or larger if you wanna make it easier). Drill a hole in it. Put a hose fitting in the hole. Elevate bucket. Done.i have a hose with a wand for water. it's the feeding with 5 gallon buckets that will get me. i need a feeder that i can attach to my hose.
Yeah, you're in trouble there.i don't think there is anyway to mask the smell. they aren't even flowering yet and our whole property stinks.

the netting that I have around mine helps... and like I said... those herbs and cedar... no offense or anything, but I know some one that has some bigger than yours that started stinking a month or so ago... just talked to em today, he was the one that recommended the other garden herbs, and the cedar bark... I can get to about 30 feet away before I can seperate the herb smell from the rest of them I would post pics, but he would get hella hella pissed! It works though... not completely, but it blends the smell to make it harder to tell exactly what your smelling... I mean LOTS and LOTS of mint and rosemary etc..... and I am sure you notice they reek when you feed em? well that is where the cedar bark comes in.... oh well good luck

Run a clothesline above the plants or two,, Pull it as tight as you can.. when you need to tie up a kola tie rope to the kola and then tie to the clothesline above ,,
The only way to Kill the smell is to plant some plants also that smell a lot .. Like honeysuckle, mint, stuff like that ..as for thieves .. invisible electic eyes set at different levels

Loving reading your journal
Your grow is unbelievable! Wish mine looked half as good (UK weather sucks this year)
I had a rough time this week with my neighbours and had to move the plants to a friends.
How do your neighbours mind?

the last time i fed i could get around them all. next time i will have to run to home depot and get a feeder to attach to me hose. we have one here but it's for dry food. i don't know why i'm using a 5 gallon bucket still. i have a 50 gallon drum and a pump, i'm just to lazy to drag it over.
i think out loud a lot.
i have some 10 X 10 canopies that i used last year. i will assemble them without the canopies and use the upper framework to tie my colas to.
