Drip irrigation kit,new grow

[Gator]

Setting up the new irrigation kit, doing a test to determine water output

 

[Gator]

30 minutes to get a quart of water from the 2 emitters, adjusted the intake at random

 

[Gator]

Decided what I want to run, going with some of Going2fastauto flowers in 3 gallon pots with a soil mix I'm working on

 

[Gator]

Scarlett runtz I've grown and like, tried to grow stinky pink and screwed up, the other ones are new to me

I wouldn't use constant drip irrigation in soil with cannabis. Coco sure, but not soil.

Keep us posted

It's not going to be a constant drip, it's going to turn on in the morning, I'll adjust the flow as needed as the plants get bigger, hopefully it gives my back a break

I dont know much about soil growing except over watering is not good, causes mold and drowns roots I think

 

[Gator]

Just planted the seeds, this grow has officially started 😄

 

[Gator]

I've added the circulation pump from my cloner and I'm working on getting the pH dialed in, once the plants have their first true leaves I'll fire up the irrigation system

 

[Gator]

No sign of life yet but it shouldn't be too much longer

 

[Gator]

3 of the auto flowers have sprouted, waiting on the stinky pink

 

[Gator]

Still no sign of the stinky pink , the Scarlett Galaxy and razpbergers have opened up and growing, Scarlett runtz is off to a slow start, I'll give the stinky pink another day then I'll drop another seed

 

[Gator]

I don't know what I did with the stinky pink seeds so I went with the gorilla zkittlez

 

[Gator]

Top dressed with some earth worm castings

 

[Gator]

The gorilla zkittlez germinated,so I'm going to have a full tent soon 😄 hopefully everything goes as planned,I haven't tried to grow auto flowers in the basement in a long time, but I think I got it

 

[Gator]

Turns out that the gorilla zkittlez was a dud too, guess I'm going to plant one of the Alaskan Thunderfuck and let it veg until I harvest the auto flowers, what I thought was a Taproot was a piece of perlite

 

[Gator]

The Scarlett Galaxy and the razpbergers are doing great, the Scarlett runtz is doing terrible,I'm thinking about pulling it and planting a couple of photos

I agree soil would retain too much water and kill the plant.

 

[Gator]

I have the drip irrigation system running, it comes on at 7 and goes off at 7:20, seems to be working good

 

[Bluey]

Well that's irrigating with drippers so I guess you can call it that.

Some of the best yielding plants ever have constant drip irrigation during lights on but in coco.

Soil indoors never breaks any records, apart from the growers frustration levels when things go wrong.
