I hand water every other day. It takes between 30-60 minutes, so less than four hours on actual chores. Of course harvest and reset times probably double that when the time comes. That doesn't count the time I spend admiring them.

Good deal, you confirm my suspicions of how dedicated a grower you are.

As if your threads didn't illustrate that fact already, lol.

Good stuff.

Took out the tape .measure for you. Looks like about 19 inches from top of the soil to bottom of the lights.


The plants are about 10 inches now that they are all tied up.


The plants are ready to flip now, so today starts their first 12 hour night.

Thanks, we have about the same space for plants to grow tall. I want to find a shallower and wider pot, so to gain 3 inches, just to have better bulb / canopy distance.

Grass Monkey is really starting to fill out the cab. They are super healthy and vigorous, one of the advantages of running seeds IMO. The clones in the cloner are starting to sprout some roots after 7 days. I'll give them some time to get bigger, then transplant them.


These are the last of my perpetual CMH. I'll be building another Solstrip light like the other side. The back plant is a Delicious Candy living up to her name in the smell department. Up front are some feminized autos I made, Crystal Candy x Big Devil XL. They don't really like the 12/12 light cycle from seed, but whatever, they were just hash fodder anyway.

I have about three more weeks on the Delicious Candy, then I'll upgrade the lights on that side and probably run something from seed. By the time I get something big enough, the autos should be done. I'm thinking something from LED Seedz I have some Grass Monkey F2, Cherry Tart (Cherry OG x Grass Monkey F2), Creme Brulee (Instant Cookies x Grass Monkey), and Starfighter IBL.


My mothers are looking much healthier now that they are getting some chemical fertilizers. The micro pots are just too small to do my normal growing style. One of the reasons I want to upgrade my space is so I can have my mothers in 2-gallon pots. Not only will I be able to do them no-till, but I will also be able to take bigger clones. My mothers include Adonis, Blue Dream, Cannatonic, Deadhead OG, Delicious Candy, Duran Poison, Jilly Bean, Juanita la Lagrimosa, Skywalker OG, and Zak Haze.


Finally is the Dinafem blueberry. Got a hint of lemon on the stem rub. She's a pretty stinky plant, this cab doesn't have a carbon filter. Her clone rooted, though I doubt I will run this again. I think I can find a better Blueberry. I have no idea how long she has been flowering, but she looks a ways off still. Next round I think I will use this for the party cup challenge. I have to keep my title going after all. I am going to run those Freedom Dream I got from legalcanada over at Overgrow.

These naughty little monkies are trying to overgrow my cabinet. I can't have that now can I? Here you can see the canopy is about 14"-16".


After a round of bondage with the velcro, I was able to get the canopy down to 10"-12" and pull the main colas back under the lights.. I also chopped the cover crop. Some of the peas were trying to take over the monkies.


Here they are all pulled over. Pro tip, if you want to bend and tie your plants up, it is easier if they are ready for a watering. I watered after training them, it's getting difficult to reach the back plants. I will need to do some more trimming under the canopy soon.


The only trimming I have done to these monkies is to take the bottom two branches for clones. These four are well rooted after 10 days. They were transplanted into the micro fabric pots with VAM. They will become my bonsai mothers until I pick a keeper.
