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.

If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind.

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.

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

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.

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....

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.

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.
