How many hours a week do you spend on your plants?

[mjab702]

Ill begin with it...I spend about 8 hours a week

 

[Ponky]

I'm down to less than 20 minutes. Used to be over 5 hours.

 

[Moshmen]

How in the world do you only spend 20 minutes...What made the difference in the time?

 

[7munkee]

10 ish.

 

[harmonics]

60+ Hours every week. I run a very small licensed medical grow though as full time work. I don’t know many people in the industry so it’s largely just me every step of the way. Leading up to a harvest so getting toward 11-12 hours every day, but after the harvest is done I’ll have a few light weeks.

I lowered the plant count. Went with a bigger canopy. Got rid of the air pumps and water. And went with a simple watering can and 1 part food. And now I've simplified the cloning. Twice during the grow I defoliate. And the reset takes a small amount of time. But now it's literally no time at all. Never more than a few minutes every other day or 3. Way less hassle than before.

 

[Phill]

As much as possible

Are you counting dreams and the occasional time my wife looks at me and says "You're not listening, are you?" And I say something like "amblyseius cucumeris, maybe?"

I’ve really cut my time going from hydro to living soil. Life is so much simpler. I also learned to quit loving on them to much, lol. I think that’s where a lot of folks time comes in to play.

Yeah big time. The less I worry about them the more time I can spend looking at truck parts and accessories and actually smoking pot.

 

[HippiHemuli]

2-8 hours depends what stage they are

 

[Dothraki]

I figure the less time I’m around them, the safer they are.

 

[mysticepipedon]

I probably spend 3 a week, but at least one of those hours is just me gawking at the plants, checking how scents are developing, etc.

 

[mjab702]

I gawk while I water.lol

 

[PipeCarver]

Ill begin with it...I spend about 8 hours a week

About 1 hr per day 30 min in the am & 30 pm unless there is work to do ie: transplanting, feeding, watering, cleaning, trimming, picture taking, keeping my journal updated, filling water jugs, taking ph / ppm readings, keeping humidifiers full, Then there are the cold snow days where I can spend 6-8 hrs re-arranging building shit, cleaning fans & humidifiers and watching tmy girls grow....

 

[josefrahl]

Probably about 1 1/2 -2hrs. I turn on/off supplemental lights on morning/night, check ph in reservoir morning/early evening, top and tuck once, defoliate twice during grow, and the longest is draining reservoir and refilling once a week.

How much time I spend looking at my plants is different. Since they're in my game room, not in a tent, and I spend 80% of my time there.

 

[BurnzYzBudZz]

With the beanstalk controlled release fertilizer I switched to this run, I’m down to about 3 hours a week and an hour of gazing at them, stoned.

Does standing there staring at them count or just actual work? lol Just work 2hrs.

 

[grnmtn]
