This cannabis growing thing is going well enough I figured I'd try my hand a something different. So, the veg tent has a couple new mascots that hopefully will be around for quite a while.
So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce my fuzzy wuzzy Panda Plant- Vicky, and my Silver Arrows Cactus, a.k.a."The Prick"- Carl :) in their one of a kind Hempy Bucket of course!

Finally recieved what I think will be my fix to my watering issues. A couple of fittings and it should be up and running in a day or 2. Hope this works. If so, watering will be totally automated from this point...

So for once (thank god) something finally worked the first time.

The Flora Flex is up and running, automatically feeding all 8 plants in the flower tent 1 gallon per day over a 6 minute period using the 10gph insert right before lights out.

...drain to the pump...up to the sewage...all on it's own....finally.

I'm just gonna spend my time smoking now bongsmilie

I completely agree. But when you're looking to harvest 10+ oz every other week and already work 40+, sometimes you have to make compromises... :)

Not worried about bag appeal, just need to make sure it can get processed fast enough to hit the jars in time to start the 2 month cure before the long term storage.

1 hiccup in the process will= train wreck

Skywalker OG #5. Day 22. Youngest of the 5.
She was starting to look like a jungle so I gave her a light defoliation to open up her center. Believe it or not, the was a pot plant under there.
Bic in there for reference... :hump:

Only ended up with 6.6 oz from SW1 :(

rookie numbers...

But, good news is I defoliated her right @ flip and royally fucked the stretch. I also lollipopped, LST'd and a bunch of what I am now thinking is useless shit for me. I think I've packed enough light in there that, if I get outta their way, just use my hand to lay back main branches for a spread, monster crop when needed and defoliate the center @ week 3 like I've started too, I will have a shot @ hitting the 10oz per plant I am looking to get. Not really for weight sake, more an efficiency/base benchmark I am setting for myself @ a little over 1g/watt from the flower tent.
Each plant keeps getting bigger and bigger, so I know I'm moving in the right direction.

So now I wait for the next... bongsmilie

Doing well. Almost too well.
She's on day 34 of Veg and really needs to go into flower, but I need a plant to finish first.

With this being my first hempy grow and now seeing the speed these grow @, I'm now thinking I may have to cut back to 2 plants in veg instead of 4 or space them out better. It's looking like 4 weeks veg is all I need to be able to fill the flower tent efficiently so time to make some adjustments.
