That's pretty much WHY I water by hand for so long. Im a lazy grower. The 10 mins it takes to hand water is much less than the 1-2hr+ it takes me to setup my irrigation manifold, flush and sterilize the lines, drain the system, re-flush with nutes, then stake the plants with feed lines, clean the Y filters out, test the system etc. I tend to put it off too long if anything.^^^ this. if it weren't for being in a tent, i likely would be more lax during the first few weeks as well. i have an allergy to manual labor though, so once the girls were on the slabs, it was automation time. YMMV
haha why do you think it took me like two months to even build my irrigation system? fuck man... it's a for real problem. i pay the ol lady's brother to come clean the gutters and do random shit yard work i don't want to, pay other people to work on my car (went to school to be a mechanic -- this is a shameful admittance), manipulate others to do just about anything i don't want to lol but my scale is a lot smaller than yours. it took maybe an hour to set up the fresh system once everything was assembled and sanitized. doing that ground work was the yuck portion.That's pretty much WHY I water by hand for so long.

Automation sounds so great until you say it like that. Lmao I too am lazy with my gardenThat's pretty much WHY I water by hand for so long. Im a lazy grower.

i'll believe when i see it. every morning when i make my health check, they've gone up another inch or two. it's fucking stupid.looks good @tobh stretching should be about done i'd say.
With 2 more weeks to go at this growth rate.. I think you're right. I'm gonna need a machete to prune them by then.fuck man, you had just as much bounceback as i did. it's gonna be a vicious jungle in there come day 21 stripdown.
Haha I had a generator going keeping the SE5000 on its lowest setting for light. Mostly to keep the plants on schedule. But it was a good environment for working too.how you manage to MacGyver a scrooge net in the dark without breaking a branch
Me too. I'm honestly considering taking the fan on the right down and just using one fan on the left side so i can get the LED closer.ya, you can see the fan blade close to the light frame in the picture. That's okay imo cuz their going to stretch. I wonder what the stretching period is going to be between each light.
