I wasn't sure what to think aboutit at first as I believe it is better suited for indoor growing, and still do, as there's not a lot of conditions I can change. I do have an 8 gallon aquarium with a strong pump that does raise the humidity. I have 2 10" fans blowing air from the back of the greenhouse toward the open door. BUT I love this monitor and would highly suggest obtaining one if you grow indoors, a tent or a whole room and yes, even a greenhouse..

The seedlings will be kept moist and humid with tap water until next weekend

when they'll receive their first half strength Master Blend fertigation and given larger pots.

Growing in coco these DrainAway trays are killer. My plan is to set them up on a 2' high shelf and drain the waste water into a bucket below that I can use for one of 6 fruit trees, rotating as a little pick me up.

Growing inside is more difficult to drain the fetigation water but in coco the pot cannot sit in waste water.

One last thing, Autos are known for not doing well with being transplanted. Personally I’ve never had an issue with them but there have been a lot of reports, but using peat pots and coco coir there's no transplant shock. Just bury the peat pot and done😉
 
They all got bigger shoes

Northern Lights auto in 2 gallons with L to R Grandmommy Purple and Bruce Banner.

I still have no room to set up the DrainAways, YET. I’ve got 7 Cherry Wine hemp plants in 1 gallons and they're all 5' tall and there's a Mother's Milk and two Blueberry Hash Plant in 2.5 & 3 gallon nursery pots that all have to be moved first. Tomorrow I hope to cover my flowering greenhouse, move a bunch of plants in and set up the drainAways.

Still no DrainAways. Wind and weather has prevented me from wrapping my flowering greenhouse. Soon I promise. Hoping it calms down at dusk.

With space limitations I'll work on hooking 3 DrainAways together for the autos.

They're about 2 weeks old and growing as expected.

I failed to cover and protect them. My bad. Moving on

Every night until they're too big.

Oh look
20260423 154801

3 DrainAways hooked up soon. I'll probably go with soft tubing and use peg end fittings to make it more flexible. I have to use soft tubing to get through the shelf which is heavy duty wire/metal. I have a grinder and a Dremel but I don't want to cut it😉
 
Bummer on the banner but everything else looking good! Those drain aways look like they will work nice for you my setup doesn’t really work with them🤘
The shelf is 2' high so it's great. Indoors, where these DrainAways would really shine would need to be raised by a few inches and that can be difficult in tents when space is already limited. Growing autos in that situation might be best tho😉

Again, genetics are very nice and LOVE ❤️ the DrainAways. You can easily see how much runoff and you want 10-20% in coco grows. They are perfect. Many Thanks to DrainAway🥰

Oh yeah, my go to 5am when I wake up and wondering what's happening app🤣

Northern Lights fem autos, 2 gal fabric pots of coco coir and Master Blend, Magnesium sulfate & Calcium 3/4 strength of tomato blend 3 x's a day with 10-20% runoff. 60-75 days seed to harvest. Half way. DrainAWays work great. No complaints😉

Day 48 just starting to flower. I've sprayed this one with STS
20260518 161919

twice and will spray again Saturday. If I can't take cuts because it's an auto I'll try and make some fem seeds. I'm very impressed by this strain and if worthy after dried and cured I can grow plenty more.

I've started a few S6 Granddaddy Purples to cross with the GMP. Purple Grandparents?🤔

Genetics are rocking with all 3 strains. A++😉

It's been amazing witnessing the evolution of technology. From watching Star Trek 60 years ago as a kid to owning a flip phone and a Blackberry 20 years ago to having a powerful computer that fits in the palm of my hand today has truly been amazing. Now I can get information on my greenhouse while lying in bed. A few more years and I'll have a robot to wipe my behind
Your butt napkins my lord v0 ymli797tvs991

and care for the plants😉

The DrainAways are great bases, especially for coco grows with both fiber and standard pots. Highly recommend.

Most companies know you can't buy advertising like a satisfied customer, but the good ones know if they can get their products in the hands of people with a need within a group of like minded folks the product will receive plenty of positive support and all 3 of our sponsors here have proven their wears, at least with me.
