Hey Guys! How is it going? I just got back to school. It is an early year; we go a full week before Labor Day. I miss Maine and party days of summer already. The summer grow is in bloom and looking pretty good for my first outdoor aero grow.
I have six plants in a triple 5 gal bucket aero system. Each bucket is standalone, recirculating. The bottom pail holds the nutes and pump with a hole in the lid to reclaim the runoff nutes, all controlled by a short-cycle timer encased in a Zip-lock bag outside. The middle bucket is the root zone. It has a hole in the middle aligned with the hole in the rez pail. Instead of a lid on this bucket, another black net pot pail sits which houses the plant.
( The small tote is an areo cloner, ...disregard the clones.)
I cut into my deck to gain access to the ground. I dug out about 36 inches of dirt to make space for the buckets, and placed them below grade. Insulation and weed fabric isolates them. It's been in the 90's this summer, but the geothermal has kept the RZC quite cool. Digging the pots into the ground solved the heat issue nicely! I built a locking screen room around them with Agromark fabric obscuring the birds-eye view. They have been growing all summer. They have really grown.
( @!%& !!!!... I really don't know why I can't get this pic to rotate and save so that you guys can view it normally. Maybe my ethanol or,,,damn it, so frustrated...five bloody times...)
Well, sorry about the skewed view, rest assured these ladies are well over 7 feet tall now. They are in bloom and the stink is pungent. I'm sure that they are going to attract predators soon, so I have the Arlo's all in place. I think I need a gnarly attack dog.
I'm going to start a new batch, maybe in September, in the tent inside. I'm searching for a crazy high THC strain. Well, anyway, I need to make another strong drink now... I have to brace for day two with the students... I hope everyone is well, and I'll talk to you guys soon.
Later!
