The girls look good! if you want- you can drop your nute solution a bit and water with minimal runoff to save yourself some time.

I might try that, I'll probably flush them nice and good in a week or two then try that! Bottom feeding seemed to work well so I may go weak solution bottom fed from now on, I'll just have to add my microbes to my nute mix

What would you run as top of the line ppm in flower doing it with minimal run off?

If it's getting at you, don't worry. You can water around her don't stress too much you want those roots to search out water too so that could be good. They're looking super happy though!

Yea that's how I've been doing it, watering around the edge of the pot n letting the promix spread the moisture through the medium for me! Feeding to the bottom worked well, the promix just sucked the water right up n I suspect it would make the roots go down too so I'm probably gunna keep playing with that!

Thanks BW! Your bush is just blowing up too! Shocking to see the update from today .

SSH is a top quality sativa, for sure. I'll pick up a pack of CKS seeds in the spring and get 'em going, as well as a pack of hash plant.

Man I'll be there to watch that grow! I've been seeing a lot of good things about CKS lately, n you can't go wrong with hashplant, one of my old friends only grows hashplant!

Ok just finished watering! :/ I'm gunna have to find another method cause that really is gunna kick my ass if I have to pull those monster pots out every watering :/ for now I'll go back to the sprayer n see how I feel about that lol doesn't help that these girls are super short-really hard to get under them to water :S

On the big ones I did half top watering and half bottom fed, about a gallon of water each then I gave moira just over a half gallon mainly top fed! Of course they all got OG Tea watered right into the medium!

Decided to try out my week 1 veg mix- with a couple mods but ppm came out great! Ended at 324 and 334 in both buckets so it's perfect! I added extra cal mag, grozyme and regen a root so without the extra I'd be right at target for my week 1 nute strength! Ph was just under 6 so I left it alone!

Here's what I did mL/G mixed a total of 7 gallons of nutes n used about 5.5 this watering
ML/G
1.25 micro, 2.5 grow, 1.25 bloom, 4 regen, 2.5 cal mag, 7 zyme

Right around 330 ppm with the extra stuff, should charge the soil nicely with the last watering, they'll definitely get clean water next time! I was suprised at how nice and green they looked when I had them in the bathroom, they sure are happy :3

You'll also notice I pulled my support network XD I was getting frustrated already so I'll figure something else out or just let them grow wild lol

With great plants comes great responsibility

BnS,
I use 10 gallon pots which are way to big to dunk so i built a tray 4' x4' in my 5 x 5 tent. I framed it in 2 x 4's and attached a sheet of 1/2 inch plywood to the bottom. Under one edge, which I consider the back edge, i screwed on a half inch strip so the whole thing slopes slightly to the front. Then I lined the whole thing with pond liner from home depot. After that I got 9 milk crates, 1 for each pot, and cut them down on my table saw to 4" tall with one side 4 1/8" tall. Then I flipped them upside down and placed them in the tray with the taller side on the downhill slope so the tops stayed level. Now I water 2 gals per pot with a cheapo pond pump hooked to a short garden hose and a water wand all coming out of a 10 dollar plastic garbage can. I water nice and slow as its really easy now and only get about 3 gallons of runoff. All the runoff settles in the front of the tray and I vacuum it out with a wet n dry shop vacuum. It works fantastic and my back never hurts anymore. I use the runoff in the wifes houseplants and they are very happy with it.

Real good build info, thanks for dropping that in here Gee! Welcome by the way, nice to have a fellow BC grower in here!

I may consider actually going with a 5x5 instead of a 4x4 and try duplicating your build! I've been brainstorming in the back of my mind, thinking of something similar to that but since you made it so easy I may just steal your plans . like a rogue one ;D
Too nerdy? I'll stop with the starwars XD

I'll keep this in mind in my scheming and plotting over the next month or so, really appreciate you makingnit so easy for me to picture!

Thanks Gee! Cheers!. . .
