Making america green again, 3 weeks at a rip. Perpetual

So, I've been around for a hot minute. Been growing since the mid 90's, seriously since 2002. Started out like most people... kid finds a bean in a bag, slaps that puppy in a cup of dirt from outside, toss it in the ground out in the woods, get a shaggy 1/8 of bs your 13yr old buddies claim is awesome.. but you know better.

Jump to the next post to avoid a whole bunch of useless information

Moved on to spare parking lot hps fixtures with homemade reflectors and cool tubes running a sog in 2ltr soda bottles crammed into kitty litter trays in a 3x3 2 tiered closet. I had a small stand up cabinet with a bubble cloner I made out of a plastic shoe box and a fish tank pump. They would go from that, into the soda bottles for 1 week, then into bloom. Short and barely rooted. One kitty litter tray, 6 plants per week. Little over 2 zips a week. No pics from that. I don't think I even had a cell phone then lol

From there I had to stop growing for a few years. Long story. Like and subscribe for part 2

I eventually crossed paths with a true brother. Hands down the most honest, selfless guy you'd ever meet. Known as the mayor around these parts. In his 60's, been in a bad car accident, and a separate motorcycle accident where they found him in a tree. He found out I used to grow, he was growing, guy he was growing with was fu king him over. Blah blah.
Anyways, that grow was a full basement. One side veg one side bloom. Like a conveyor belt clone the tops of the week 4 veg pots, pot the new rooted clones from 2 weeks ago, repot the potted clones from last week, up pot the week 4 veg pots to 10g, pull week 9 bloom plants, move all the plants back one row, drag over the next 8 plants from the back of veg to the front of bloom. Move all the veg plants back one row. Water everything. Clean 8 plants. Yeah, I know.. fuck that. Go through and trim it all, keep the rooms clean. Every week. It was a lot to keep up with.

I "helped" him get his money the old partner owed him. He then bought a house and we moved our mother plants there. I chopped everything else to the dirt, in every room, before we left the other place. He's lucky that's all I did

I know this is a long intro, but stick with it. I'll be done in 10,000 words or less.

Grew with him for about 10 years. Always changing nutrients, changing levels, never seeing what it would do through a complete run. Just chaos.



It got to be too much for him, so I went back on my own last year.

Of course there were always plants in various stages of veg and flower while I'm building crap all around them. Everything gets a fine layer of sawdust the first 3 months of every grow. That has not changed.

Nowadays instead of doing rows of topped plants in pots, I use sips with a net attached to the top.

This one just finished week 2 in the sip. There is room for 2 sips in this cabinet. One on each side, it's roughly 2x8 with a 2x2 cube on top for growing out rooted clones for 3 weeks. Clone tray sits on a shelf inside the bottom cabinet between the light fixtures, where the cuttings root for 2 weeks, then into cups for a week back downstairs to harden off.


After 3 weeks in the sip, they both go into an empty 4x4 side of a 4x8. Of which I have 2. Currently only running 3 out of 4 4x4 bays. Battling mites too, but that is a Neverending battle.



They will go anywhere from 9 - 12 weeks depending on the strain. This is godfather bomb week 4.

Yield anywhere from 14 - 20 zips, also strain dependant, every 3 weeks.


Gorilla zkittles.

Just popped a stardawg and a pineapple express. Currently on the active roster, in order of potency, are

gorilla zkittles
Cookies gelato
Godfather bomb

Hoping to replace one or both of the first 2, they just don't pack a punch. They smell amazing, just need an upgrade.

Started the seeds in paper towels inside a tuperwear on top of a meat rack on my furnace. Stardawg germinated in 24hrs, pineapple express took 48 and into

Promix hp
Worm castings
Pinch of dr earth 4-4-4
Extra perlite


They are currently under the overseas of a viparspectra xs1000 at %75.

I grew both of these outdoors this year. Stardawg I had to chop early because of mold. My tent is pretty well dialed in, aside from mites, but mold and pm shouldn't be an issue. She was getting very frosty too, I'm hoping for a good outcome on the rematch. Game on mofo.

The pineapple express is still standing outside with minimal rot or mold, just taking forever. I only have that and 2 sativa leaning hybrids left outdoors.

Stardawg outdoor


Pineapple express

Hoping for delicious nugs. Like my grandfather always said, hope in one hand and shit in the other see which one fills up faster

Took everything outside down. Quite the haul, still have half of one of the Bruce banners to clean.


Pineapple express smells horrible. Like old wet mushrooms mixed with nursing home pillows. Pretty sure the one I'm running indoor will be a one and done too.

Stardawg on the left, pineapple express on the right. Another week, and I'll clone the tops. They will be getting a short veg and some lst. Probably 5gal pots and dry amendments.

Getting really tired of fruity weed with no potency. I broke down today and ordered some of subcools strains. I got chernobyl and meltdown. Super excited about these beans. I'll be popping the chernobyl first

2 weeks in, pineapple express showing nice side growth and throwing hairs already. Stardog lost focus, we need to have a chat.


Popped a couple girl scout cookies from blackskull genetics. Plop them in some pots and see how they turn out too.




Godfather clones rooting. They are usually 3 weeks further ahead at this point. Well rooted, and into 1 gallon pots in the cabinet. These cups would still be waiting for another week just to be put into the 1 gal for 3 weeks where i top and lst a bit to get them ready for the sip. But, we went on vacation in August. My wifes friend volunteered to water.... i almost lost everything.



Cookies gelato cruising in the sips below finishing week 2 veg. One more week for these then into the bloom factory.

Finally got rid of the mites using acephate. Stuff is very strong and smells like a garbage barge tugging a load of putrified cabbage with a sprinkling of burnt hair, although that could have been from my nose hairs singing from the thick pungent aroma.

Godfather bomb finishing up week 2 of flower. A little discoloration and burn from the acephate treatment I did on the one on the left, but it rebounded nicely after the stretch.



The other 2 godfather bombs in the other 4x8 didn't take the acephate so well. One on the right will make it. One on the left gave up. Maybe I'm subconsciously left handed? I do shoot lefty in hockey. Anyways, you might want to sit down for this odevastation.

Here's a link for a better description of the devistation.

Beans came in with some frefreebies!



Got the chernobyl slimer cut s1 family fun adventure experience in paper towels popping for cups already. My wife was right next to me helping, she can't wait either lol



Outdoor is finally jarred up. I was in trim jail for 2 damn weeks. The bud isn't very potent for me. Gave some away and told everyone to let it cure for 2 weeks, of course they couldn't wait. Reports from everyone else say fire, I don't believe the hype.

Text from my brother went as follows.

We had some samples. Holy fuck it's in my closer with a hydrometer chiling at 63%

We were wasted.

Two 18 mm bong loads we wre done

I had to get up and fondome dishes. This morning we waked and baked and made brownies

Outdoor haul



About 6lbs of good bud, and 2lbs of small buds. Trim went back into the garden outside along with the mulched up branches.

Forgot, feel free to pick me apart and post away

Exciting week at the office. Bought some new bags for samples, and made a logo. Wife is printing them up at work lol. Sample reports came back on the gorilla zkittles and the cookies gelato. We got beans popping, sips ploping, pots percolating, and net manufacturing. All right here, right now on diners dr... wrong show, I don't even own any forearm wristbands or backwards sunglasses.

Here's the logo


I was mad one day that someone slready took the name legacy while I was in trim jail, then a song came on called sugar man, by Sixto Rodriguez. But it was a cover by Dave Matthews. Sugar man is the guy that brings the sweet Mary Jane.

Sugar man, you're the answer
You make my questions disappear

Skip to 1:40


Call myself the sugar man, then lead with the torched acephate plant. Yes plant, lefty finally let go and went to the garden at the gates. Righty is still drinking. Scoped the triches, they are still developing. Trimmed some more well done foliage off the poor girl. This is what we have starting week 8 with my mite suicide squad.




Horrible, yes. But alive

On a brighter note, the cookies gelato that were in the bottom of the veg cabinet in the sips for 2 weeks went into bloom in the other 4x8. Godfather bomb plugging along starting week 3. I'll give them a trim next Sunday on day 21.

Full tent with no mites, feels nice.



Cookies gelato is a stretcher. It's only been under 12-12 for 48hrs and it grew 2". So, faster than a retired Polynesian fisherman, I strung up one of my nets and wrangled it into the tent. Nets are made of 3/4 pvc. Net squares are 3"



You can see the spare sips, and various sizes of pots laid out on the floor. These are all kept moist so the microbes are active when I plop the plant in. All soil is fully amended with.

Dr earth 4-4-4
Dr earth 3-9-4
Ewc
Perlite
Azomite
Dolomite
Langbeinite




Secondary net rides on the the rails through holes I drilled through 3/4 pvc corner fittings. The corner fittings help keep the net from twisting, and also leep the tent walls from pulling in. I use spare 90's to string the net outside of the tent, then take it apart to put it in with the corner fittings already sleeved on the vertical tent poles.

Over to the veg cabinet. Humidifier, and circulation fan died last week. Replacement humidifier they sent had little to no output, so had to order another one. Back up and running now, but I had to resort to drastic measures for humidity.


Make a cage, fill with water, stuff a towel in, drape it over the cage, point a fan at it. Worked great. But the humidifier came in, so I replaced it. I used 1/2" pvc to pipe the mist from the humidifier into the cabinets. I can use reducers to regulate the output.



With the cookies sips out of the bottom of the cabinet, everyone can spread out a little.


On the right side we have
Godfather bomb mother (back left)
Gorilla zkittles mother (back right)
3 gorilla zkittles clones.
2 gorilla clones and the mother are going to my stepson. He lost everything during the great mite war of 2023. But he's a slacker, so here they sit as I top and train them. I'll keep one clone to mother out. Was going to discontinue this strain but reports say otherwise, same with the cookies. More on that later. Godfather mother is going into flower with everything else once they veg out big enough to clone. More on that too, stay tuned



Left side we got
Pineapple express (back left)
Stardog (back right)
Up front 2 godfather clones

Godfather clones were going to be the next to go into sips, but were going pots this run. I don't know if I have enough pots. I have 4 ir 5 different sizes, some fabric, some plastic. Should be interesting.

Stardog is slow to root, no lateral branching. I'll give it a few weeks, but I might trash it.

Pineapple express decided it was going to be some kind of mutant auto that flowers in week 1. it's full on blooming from seed under 18-6. So that's a no go. I'll let it finish just to wear as a necklace on Christmas.



Clone tray looking good. Got roots on 2 godfather bombs one will be a new mother. Took 3 cookies clones before I put them in flower. Looking healthy



Upstairs in the top cube our 2 girlscout cookies are doing well. One was under the humidifier pipe and it was dripping right in the cup. DOH!!. It stunted for a second, but dried out some and back on track.

More exciting news, 8/10 slymers cracked through the dirt. Waiting on the last 2, but they'll be up soon. I had to help almost every one of them get their helmet off. Little bit of water in a straw. Get that seed shell moist. Repeat until it comes off easily. Use a tooth pick, I destroy seedlings with my gorilla paws.

I have a mix of pots for all of these. Going to be a circus for a minute.nothing a few bong rips can't solve.

On to the reviews. Ran into one of the town workers I went to high school with. I gave him some of my stuff a few years ago when I was growing with my old partner. I guess he didn't like it, because I hadn't heard from him since. So I offered him and his coworkers 10g bags 1/2 and 1/2 of the gorilla and cookies. Also threw in some edibles. Got the first review an hour later on the gorilla.



He hit me up a bit later with the cookies gelato review


It's in blue because I sent them to my old growmie, was just easier to screen shot. I didn't have the heart to send him this one though.


Now, this brings me back to my main point. People say my stuff is 2 hit and quit. 2 legit to hit? I'm jealous, but happy I'm the guy that grows the good shit. Once my own bag knocks me on my ass, then I can feel comfortable putting that sugar man liable on those bags.

One more time



Sweet logo bruh
Until next week, stay green everybody

Another week at the office. Leaves swaying breezily, lights shining bright, tunes are cranked up. Let's get into it.

First up is the main 4x8



Godfather bomb 21days

Did a defol, rh was up to %70, Down to %60 after. Filled them up with plain water, 5gal.

Cookies gelato 7 days

Glad I put that second net on right away, shes almost as tall as the godfather bomb already. First time i flowered the cookies gelato, i had it under the viparspectra ks5000. That light lacks a bit in the blue spectrum, so they ignored the light and shot straight past it. Hopefully they do better under the xs2000's, they are much better in the blue spectrum.

godfather mother 0 days

having no second net on the godfather bomb sips allowed me to push them to the back of the tent, freeing up some space up front for some stragglers. The ks5000 they are under, while lacking in the blue spectrum, spread the light out very evenly. So I'm not worried about insufficient lighting from being on the edge of the lights footprint.

up top in the cube



chernobyl slimer cut
8/10 slimers made it. They are almost a week behind the gsc seedlings, and almost as big already. I'm going to enjoy this grow

girlscout cookies
we got roots shooting out of the cups. I'll be leaving them in cups to give everything else a chance to catch up. Not expecting much from these, was just bored waiting for beans to arrive. I'll take a clone from each and keep it around for a minute, see how it smokes after the cure.

mocha berberry
popped 2 mocha berry i got from COPA genetics that I got as freebies from DC seed exchange to replace the 2 slimers. One popped, I think the other solo cup is infested with demons. Just dropped another bean to soak.


godfather bomb clones
fresh out of the clone tray and into the cube. These little ladies will veg in a sip in the bottom of the veg cabinet after the slimers fill out and go to bloom.

Bottom cabinet



gorilla zkittles
the mother plant and the 2 clones on the right in the black tray, go to my stepson. Just finished the booster table for his short tent. He does hydro, so he can put the res underneath his tent. Saved him about 18".

link to that project

Reservoir taking up space in your short tent? Diy short tent booster platform

My stepson just started growing this past winter. I do dr earth and other dry amendments in a sip, Mr pro decided to go with hydro. His tent is only 5' tall. With his res, then his flood and drain bucket on top, he's got about 16" before he hits his light. I made him a scrog net to put in there...

www.rollitup.org

Pineapple express
Still flowering away. Gave it a topdress of dr earth 3-9-4, a little 4-4-4, ewc, and a pinch of langbeinite. Troublemaker in every grow, every tent has at least 1
Stardawg
Cloned it and top dressed 4-4-4, and ewc. Showing a bit of K toxicity. I got a free bag of sea-k powdered kelp extract. Apparently 1tsp per 5g is too much. Noted, I will put it into a half clogged salt shaker from now on. Half a dash
Godfather bomb
2 clones that were meant for sips until I got a bug up my ass and ordered a shitload of primo beans. They might end up with mommy in the main 4x8. Topped them and xplanted

clone tray

cookies gelato
Waiting on roots. One mother, 2 for a sip run
Godfather bomb
New godfather mother. I wont need clones for a bit, so ill save the space and grow out a new godfather mommy.
stardawg
slow growing pheno so far, but she surprised me outdoors. Guess well see

two spotted spider mite boss battle arena 2023




godfather bomb
Still holding on, still losing leaves, still developing trichomes, still and forever a champion. Got some plain water, 2gal. Shes drinking, but slowing down a bunch. Probably because all her leaves got torched the fuck off lol. I think it looks like some tastey cannabutter, no way im smoking it.

I also caught the great lakes genetics sale on bodhi beans. I've been eyeing the red eye jedi for a while, but it's never in stock. Same with the black triangle. Phone home, I heard people can't finish a bowl of it. Yes please! Bought those 3 packs, got 3 bodhi packs free. Plus got a bunch of bad dawg and black market breeders freebies.

Bought

My wife printed the labels up, looking preeeety fly


Gorilla zkittles from the last harvest. Still needs a few more weeks in the jars.

Moved the humidifier inside the cabinet. I didn't like the way the pipes were dripping all over when it was outside the cabinet. Now it's set up so any drips go directly back into the humidifier.

Built a little shelf for it, and piped it directly into the cube up top. The cube is recessed into the top of the cabinet by about 9". 2 sides of the bottom of the cube are open allowing the humidity to flow out to the rest of the cabinet, aided by the 6" exhaust Pulling air from the other side. There is a metal air vent above the light fixture in the cube for a passive inlet.



Next part of the plan is to move the dehumidifier where the humidifier used to be. Then pipe the drain of the dehuey into the huey. Take it out, put it back. Should cut down on refills, who knows maybe it will be self sustaining, just add h2o2. Sometimes rubbing alcohol as part of my ipm. Picture them all running from "the mist" as they melt away mwwaaahhaaahaaaa

Lots going on this week. Gorilla zkittle went to my stepson, saved one clone for a mother and gave it a haircut. Keeping this mother in a solo cup to keep it small for now. All the seedlings in the cube were transplanted into various size pots I had cooking for a few weeks. Each pot got
8 parts promix
2 parts perlite
1 part ewc
1 cup dr earth 4-4-4
1/2 cup dr earth 3-9-4
1/8 cup of azomite
1/8 cup of dolomite
1/4 cup of coast of Maine

All clones except 1 cookies gelato showed roots, so they were transplanted into solo cups, topped, and put into the cube.

2 chernobyl
2 girlscout cookies
2 mocha berry
2 Godfather bomb clones (next to ride in the sip)


6 chernobyl
1 pineapple express Still autoflowering for some reason

Gorilla zkittlez mom, stardawg clone (on the shelf)
Godfather bomb mom
Stardawg tester
2 cookies gelato clones

Main tent

Godfather bomb day 28
Right plant looks like the sip mix is too hot. Maybe too much leftover from last grow. I'll go light next mix.


Cookies gelato

Told you guys she was going to stretch like crazy. I had these light on full blast about 12" away through the first 2 weeks, just started backing them off to 16". Raised the net up twice already.



Second 4x8

Godfather bomb day 63

I'll spare you a pic of the "plant" here's a trichome shot.

Should be done by day 70, if not she gets whacked anyways so I can clean the tent out for the chernobyl, girlscout cookies, and mocha berry.

I picked up some new lights fir this tent as well. I went with viparspetra xs3000. Better version if the xs2000. Basically 2 xs1500s put together on a track. They look dynamite on other, and test grows with the xs1500 looked great... so we'll see what's up with that. They were also on sale for $150 each. They are usually $240

Also got the nod from the wife to "eventually" get another tent.

So I ordered one yesterday.

Another shelf in the storage room will be commandeered and sacrificed to be used as another veg cabinet. Instead of a cube up top, there will be some tube style leds for mother plants and clones. I'll be posting a link here to the build so I don't clutter up this masterpiece.

Excited to expand. It's going to be nice to have the extra tent for pheno hunts at first. I have plenty of beans to get through this year. But after that, I should be harvesting 2 4x4s every 3 weeks. I have a lot of work to do.


Brought the Christmas stuff up early, nobody suspects a thing.

Another week in the books. Chopped the allahu akbar godfather bomb. Just realized the spare bedroom is %60rh, and 60°, so she hangs in there.

I'll make something a bit more permanent when I have more time.
In that tent I put the old godfather mother, the stardawg tester, and another godfather clone I had. These are just here for a few weeks until the 8 slimers, 2 mocha berry, and 2 girlscout cookies are Cloned and recovered. Then, in they go. I'll have to get my ass moving on my new veg cabinet and stick them in there. I'll be able to duct my two veg cabinets together so I won't need additional ventilation. I have a new 4x8, but no fans yet.


Over in the main 4x8 2 godfather bombs, and 2 cookies gelato looking decent. I was having a really hard time controlling the humidity this week, tunes our my carbon filter was clogged. Unhooked that bad boy, now we got free air flow. Fan went from running on high almost all the time to idling on low constantly.




Testers in the veg cabinet are getting bigger every day. I hope to clone them all on Sunday except the mocha berry, they have some filling out to do. Girlscout cookies is a real squat grower so far. Don't think it's going g to work out on a scrooge sip, but we shall see.

New lights and tent came in. I've been busy moving furniture out of the movie room for the inevitable real-estate acquisition. These xs3000ds from viparspectra are super sweet. Black Friday deals they were only $150 a pop. I grabbed 2 to fill out my second 4x8. Also ordered 2 xs1000ds for the new veg cabinet.



A little assembly required.

I start with a 17gal tote from lowes. They are usually on sale for $10. They fit perfectly in a 2x4 area, as you have seen already. 10g of soil I found to be able to hold plenty of amendments to get a strain to at least 4 weeks of veg and 14 weeks of flower. I veg 3 and flower 10 on most strains. Some take 12.



If you haven't consumed your edibles, do so now.

Measure the inside of the tote, and cut 3 lengths of drain pipe. 23" works perfect for this tote. You want it snug so the soil doesn't fall into the res. Some will, I'm sure mine are full of dirt on the bottom. They get dumped on the garden in the spring and hosed out. Any soil in the res just helps as a wick anyways.



Next, take your 3 lengths of perforated drain pipe, your bag of drain pipe sock, and a pair of Scissors. Find a comfy spot and set them down. Go find your bong Bic and weed, 3 rips. Locate your beverage and vape, rally back at your set up comfy spot.

Some would say to wrap the entire pipe in the sock. I say nay, just the tip. I want the roots to find the water. Once they do, you get hydro type growth with none of the effort. It's almost cheating. Shhhhhh don't tell

First, cut 4 lengths of the sock at 14" and 2 at 20". The 20" pieces go on the perforated drain pipe in the middle. Tie a knot at one end of the sock. I use a square knot. Right over left, left over right. Boom square knot. Sleeve the sock over the pipe until the knot is flush with the end. Put a tie wrap around it about 6" back from the end. Twist the end of the tie wrap, cutting it leaves sharp edges that will rip the sock fabric. Or your arm for that matter. Just twist them off, always. Thank you.

Now double the sock over itself and tie another square knot. Put another zip tie at the end of the pipe. For the middle one, don't tie the last knot. Instead just double it back and leave the extra hanging. These will be you wicks. They will never wash out. Wick brother's for life.




That was a bunch of fabrication you just did there, nice job! By now, I'm willing to bet those bong rips have faded and the edibles are kicking in. Excellent, let's keep going.

Let's take the Sharpie and mark the top and center of the middle drain pipe. Just eye it up, it will be fine.

Measure down 1" from that mark. That is the center of your overflow hole. Using the drill ON LOW SPEED AND REVERSE (forward will shatter your tote into the tote formerly known as almost a sip) and 1/2" hole saw, carefully drill your hole from the inside out. Use a razor blade flat against the tote to shave the hole flat.

Locate your 14" piece of 1/2" pvc and drill 1/4" holes through it leaving 4" of it hole free. This will help prevent the overflow from clogging. A clogged sip is a soupy sip. Soupy sips drown your babies. Remember that kids



That was a lot of drilling champ! I bet your hands could use a break. 2 bong rips and refill the beverage.

Now the pain in the ass part. Now is the time for another bong rip if you need one. Sometimes I line the doorway with newspaper and play intro music. Wait for the jam to kick in and shred through the doorway, smacking myself in the chest like the gorilla who is returning champion at thr rubber rink roller derby. You'll see why in a minute.

Grab the lube, bushing, and perfectly punched pvc pipe. Fit the bushing into the overflow hole, and lube the piss out of it. Wiggle it around like lights out on prom night until you get the tip started. Obviously from the inside out so you only have to push the 4" with no holes through. Yeah we saw you, Dan. Idiot

You might say to yourself, "geeze, this would go in a lot easier if the hole was a little bigger, willikers." Don't do it. Your sip will piss all over the floor of your tent. " well golly, how do I get it to go in?". Mail it to daddy. I'll put it in and mail it back. Don't even worry about that.



Now flop the foreskin on the long socked tube and cut a little slit for the overflow to go into. Sleeve it on, put the other 2 socked pipes in the sip and push them snug into the bottom. Grab your lid and drill a 2 1/4" hole in the center. Bigger if you want. This is where your plant goes, duh Dan. Stupid question. Did you just flip me off? Get out, Dan gtfo. Now

OK, where were we. Right. Drill 1 1/4" hole in a corner of the lid on the same side as the overflow. Line that hole up as best you can with the perforated drain pipe below, and drill an 1 1/4 hole in the top of the drain pipe as well. 3 Bong rips, refill beverage, take a leak.

Aquire your piece of 1 1/4 pvc and cut a 45° angle on one end. This end goes into the sip. The 45 cut on the pipe helps to fill the sip easier because the pipe is not sitting flat on the bottom like your palm on a jar of farts.

Fill with your favorite soil mix or cereal, line the lid up and put it on.

Congrats, you just completed your first sip! What an adventure we had. Well, the sound of jingling keys means that whoever owns this house is home now. Join us tomorrow when we build the net. After these people go to work

Some will, I'm sure mine are full of dirt on the bottom. They get dumped on the garden in the spring and hosed out. Any soil in the res just helps as a wick anyways.

Next, take your 3 lengths of perforated drain pipe, your bag of drain pipe sock, and a pair of Scissors. Find a comfy spot and set them down. Go find your bong Bic and weed, 3 rips. Locate your beverage and vape, rally back at your set up comfy spot.

Some would say to wrap the entire pipe in the sock. I say nay, just the tip. I want the roots to find the water. Once they do, you get hydro type growth with none of the effort. It's almost cheating. Shhhhhh don't tell

First, cut 4 lengths of the sock at 14" and 2 at 20". The 20" pieces go on the perforated drain pipe in the middle. Tie a knot at one end of the sock. I use a square knot. Right over left, left over right. Boom square knot. Sleeve the sock over the pipe until the knot is flush with the end. Put a tie wrap around it about 6" back from the end. Twist the end of the tie wrap, cutting it leaves sharp edges that will rip the sock fabric. Or your arm for that matter. Just twist them off, always. Thank you.

Now double the sock over itself and tie another square knot. Put another zip tie at the end of the pipe. For the middle one, don't tie the last knot. Instead just double it back and leave the extra hanging. These will be you wicks. They will never wash out. Wick brother's for life.

That was a bunch of fabrication you just did there, nice job! By now, I'm willing to bet those bong rips have faded and the edibles are kicking in. Excellent, let's keep going.

Let's take the Sharpie and mark the top and center of the middle drain pipe. Just eye it up, it will be fine.

Measure down 1" from that mark. That is the center of your overflow hole. Using the drill ON LOW SPEED AND REVERSE (forward will shatter your tote into the tote formerly known as almost a sip) and 1/2" hole saw, carefully drill your hole from the inside out. Use a razor blade flat against the tote to shave the hole flat.

Locate your 14" piece of 1/2" pvc and drill 1/4" holes through it leaving 4" of it hole free. This will help prevent the overflow from clogging. A clogged sip is a soupy sip. Soupy sips drown your babies. Remember that kids

That was a lot of drilling champ! I bet your hands could use a break. 2 bong rips and refill the beverage.

Now the pain in the ass part. Now is the time for another bong rip if you need one. Sometimes I line the doorway with newspaper and play intro music. Wait for the jam to kick in and shred through the doorway, smacking myself in the chest like the gorilla who is returning champion at thr rubber rink roller derby. You'll see why in a minute.

Grab the lube, bushing, and perfectly punched pvc pipe. Fit the bushing into the overflow hole, and lube the piss out of it. Wiggle it around like lights out on prom night until you get the tip started. Obviously from the inside out so you only have to push the 4" with no holes through. Yeah we saw you, Dan. Idiot

You might say to yourself, "geeze, this would go in a lot easier if the hole was a little bigger, willikers." Don't do it. Your sip will piss all over the floor of your tent. " well golly, how do I get it to go in?". Mail it to daddy. I'll put it in and mail it back. Don't even worry about that.

Now flop the foreskin on the long socked tube and cut a little slit for the overflow to go into. Sleeve it on, put the other 2 socked pipes in the sip and push them snug into the bottom. Grab your lid and drill a 2 1/4" hole in the center. Bigger if you want. This is where your plant goes, duh Dan. Stupid question. Did you just flip me off? Get out, Dan gtfo. Now

OK, where were we. Right. Drill 1 1/4" hole in a corner of the lid on the same side as the overflow. Line that hole up as best you can with the perforated drain pipe below, and drill an 1 1/4 hole in the top of the drain pipe as well. 3 Bong rips, refill beverage, take a leak.

Aquire your piece of 1 1/4 pvc and cut a 45° angle on one end. This end goes into the sip. The 45 cut on the pipe helps to fill the sip easier because the pipe is not sitting flat on the bottom like your palm on a jar of farts.

Fill with your favorite soil mix or cereal, line the lid up and put it on.

Congrats, you just completed your first sip! What an adventure we had. Well, the sound of jingling keys means that whoever owns this house is home now. Join us tomorrow when we build the net. After these people go to work
