Let me introduce myself, this is my 3rd season. NorCal suburbs grower. Just trying to learn and talk to some like minded growers. Keep entertained while we grind out this 2016 season. I'm 100% organic frower. Custom soil build, some compost teas and IPM. Thats it. I pulled 20 lbs off 6 last year in 80 gal holes last season. This year I popped 7 different beans for a total of 35 beans popped and got gifted 3 cuts. Germinated in middle feb and planted 4 last weekend. Been on 16 /8 for about a month. This year is going to be 150 gal holes and allot of knowledge applied from this last off season. Enough of that though. Let's do some pics.

I've got planted a Pwerple, xxx og X alien kush, a plushypinez witch is plush berry X with gdp and a rugburn og. I have a blue berry headband, blue dream X GDP, sugar bear from IRC, a sour strawberry kush, space balls, and sour trax that will be planted when sunburn goes away.

Can yall keep some good vibes and company rockin this way? Lol. Appreciate it!

I'm noticing the's journals a very in depth. So I guess I'll carry on. Beans were popped in solo cups in a 5x5 on a 8 bulb t5. We're they stayed up until last week. They were transplanted to 1s till sexed and then onto 3 gallons. From there they are getting put into there final 150 gal holes and caged for some minor LST. I had mixed 1000 gals of soil by hand last year and added another 300 this year. Plants got hand watered and a few top dressing of mixed soil when needed. When planting I watered the holes and chased with with 5 gals of EWC tea to get some good microbe inoculation going. I'd like to run drip systems as I'm a working man and travel allot. I'm kinda sketchy on them, maybe I just don't trust them. Holes are 45 inch wide and 20 deep. Any info on how to run drips so my ol lady could just turn the valve for me would be greatly appreciated.

Hello organic..... good vibes to you...

You have some nice looking plants...
I wish I could play outside....

A drip system would make things easier if they ran perfectly.

But some drip emitters probably give more water or get clogged
after a while. So fine tuning the system would have to be done
regularly I bet.

In the end hand watering is the only sure thing.

A large pool with a pump in it that your old lady could make sure is
full all the time with the pump on a timer would probably help a lot.
As long as the pool doesn't run dry. Maybe, a float switch attached
to the pump so it turns off when the pool goes below certain level
would be cool.

Just fill up the pool and wait until it warms up and water away.

Thanks for the vibes man. I've never done indoor. Lol. Outdoor seems more chI'll then indoor. Scares me to to try it and for that I commend the fuck out of indoor growers. My anxiety is way too high to stress on playing god lol.

Blumats are the whip! Since you are growing in the soil you could run plain water through the blumat drip and not have any clogging. Get the Blumat Maxi if you decide to give them a try. I wish I tried them sooner! Best of luck my friend. Your plants look good!

What's the reasoning behind the pool? Thanks for the response!
