This one is all machine with only a 6"x8" footprint. The water goes into a 4 pint (half gallon) tank so at full operation it might possibly take five empties a day! A hose for continuous drain is included. I'll eventually set it up that way. The selling point to me was the lower power utilization.

I bought one and it works. Small enough for a tent. Powerful enough for your lung room. Everyone selling it for $200 but here for $110. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRRJJNC1?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details well, it has a tiny tank but I'll set it up for collecting water in a pail...

Harvesting. I've got 3 pounds (wet) so far not counting the trim and popcorn. Not a great yield but or was a very weird summer. Stuff I've previewed had been very good.

3x Strawberry Cough - That snuck up on me. I was adjusting some buds on the net yesterday and my hand came away wet and sticky. Today I snipped a small bud and brought it in for a look see. The trics are cloudy and clear. I didn't see anything like dark pistils with my eyes but the (cheap and...

3x Strawberry Cough are overthrowing my grow space. I put up the net to keep them a little bit off the ceiling; we're not expecting the frost predicted for other parts of the state but I know it'll be here before these girls are ready. I've got the stuff for diy pot warmers. Am hoping to keep...

I'm training all three plants onto the net now. An working on recovering from deficiencies. Top dressing with slow drippers are a non starter, maybe sprayers solve that problem. I've compared the buds to typical and I guess about 4+ weeks into bud. Expect 10 weeks so I'm running out of summer...

Here's a graph showing two waterings today. Each 10 gallon bag has for drippers and they are very slow. The sensor is in between two. You can see that it takes a few HOURS for the water get over to the sensor. When I water by hand I usually make one pass to wet the soil top then once more to...

Summary: automatic watering doesn't mean you know when or how much. I'm using a 1/2" tube with four drippers per 10 gallon pots and a 400 gph aquarium pump. It was the hydroponics shop suggested three or four drippers per pot. The pump doesn't need to be that big but it was the smallest I could...

they call it potting soil but say soil-less mix on the back

One of the first questions I asked here was "what is dirt?" because the bags I bought didn't seem to have any. Now I call it "mix." ​​​​​​ The price went up to $7 USD this year. This is "Fafard Organic Mix" from the same company that makes "Black Gold" if you've heard of that one.

Strawberry Cough 4 weeks + 3 days since flip (first pistils) ... How much more room am I going to need? I've been training the tallest plant trying to keep it in check. Back when I thought my greenhouse was huge. Strain indicates 10 week flowering time. 6 weeks to go.

Stretch on the strawberry cough is slowing. Training on the tall one is doing what I wanted but I've no idea how that will effect the cola. Other ones have tons of pistils. I'm switching to Gaia Green nutes cause because I'm tired of mixing nute-water and carrying it outside. I started my first...

Two windstorms this week. The first one pushed the greenhouse a foot to the side. Everything got knocked over on the one side. Luckily my plants were on the other and they were unharmed. Yesterday another was forecast to come through so I found something heavy to hold one of the bottom pipes...

Got a little more tech for the greenhouse. I have my fuzzy canna-cam running. The picture is awful but the signal reaches thei house so I can see if the girls need water. Which they do every day about a gallon with the heat we have. I give nutes one day then plain water the next. I got the IR...

It's speeding up. The tall one had grown 6" in three days. Now 55" tall. I hung a net because I'm going to have to train it across the top if it keeps going. The other two probably have as many nodes just tighter spacing. The tall one had been the tall one ever since it was a seedling.
