Major problems at the grove. The nursery pot drainage holes are getting stopped up, and/or the coco is drying and getting hydrophobic, if the pumps shut off more than 30 or 40 minutes, 3 of the pots are overflowing when the pump comes back on. They're tilted over, with the top lip hanging over the side of the tray and dripping out.
If I'm not careful, my whole 18 gallon reservoir will be in the tents floor pan. It isn't as bad once they get saturated. If I don't come up with a solution soon though, I'll call it a failed experiment and put the ole chop chop on them. One solution I'm going to try; is drilling new holes in the drain pipe and moving the whole trays to the right, thereby straightening the pots (the tops are locked in the nets and won't move). Once they are straighter, I'll cut a 1" "V" notch in the pots centered on the trays and put some holes in the mylar tray covering.
Another problem, is the Cali Blues are outgrowing the tent. The right hand canopy is already under a double net and 3 feet thick.
I have to tuck a dozen+ tops every day. I have no place to bend these two giant tops to.
Far left side will get a 2nd net later Sun evening at lights on. Lights run 8pm-8am to combat heat and peek energy usage. (This is why I'm up at all kinds of odd hours) Lights are now @ 50%. The two tall tops are the same cali blue. She has stretched all the way to the front of the tent as well.
Day 16 since flip. No golf balls yet, but it's solid marbles everwhere...
Ps. Anyone know how long Cali Blues stretch lasts for? asking for a friend...
