Sweet upgrade there Tead. The Craftsman touch if I would say so myself. That hooked up to every plant will make life super easy.

Is there a way to prevent the exit spout from clogging and causing a crazy flood?

I've not found a way. Tried plenty of things, but not one that works. My pot design has a shield to keep the stream from shooting outside the tray, but still leaves plenty of room to poke the hole with a wire.
The water distribution system hasn't materialized yet... but it's getting there. Right now it's a 5gal bucket on wheels and an aquarium pump.
The large perlite eliminates clogging issues. 1" perlite chunks are just much easier to work with all around.

So...
I just managed to completely delete my subscribed threads list. Gone.
Probably a good thing. Well past time to clear out 20+ pages of subscribed threads.

I'm totally digging the artwork on the bag this morning. When the bag is empty, I'm gonna cut it out and mount it somewhere.

I’m a have to get some of that #4 perlite. Looks perfect sized. I wonder where they have it locally, way too expensive on the zon. Although it does seem much easier to reuse, so it’d be worth it.

 

[Tead]

The re-use angle is the appeal for me. Small stuff is just to hard to deal with.

I used to try to clean it or recycle, but well you saw how much leftover perlite those flowers on my balcony have.

I just throw it out now. These bigger pots got me rethinking though, I have 3 cu ft of perlite just in the flowering tent. I can’t just keep buying more only to toss it.

Tead looks like your room and hands are full..........

Pick up some of the huge #4 perlite... much easier to clean and reuse.... much.

Indeed!
And on that note, it would seem time for some photos.....

I took that shot for another user that always did bathtub photos.... now I gotta remember who it was and find their thread.

Dat's it man... the gears on Tead's weed machine just keep on turning. The routine has mostly set in. I have many improvements to work on, but the machine is running quite well... quite well indeed.

Don't you live somewhere around San Diego? I'd think there'd be lots of gardening stores there. The Mother Earth Products website lists retailers in these locations: San Diego, Chula Vista, Lakeside, Encinitas, Escondido, Vista, Oceanside, San Marcos, Ramona, Temecula-- you get the picture.

Now here, lol...

 

[Jgrowlove]

Awesome setup Tead! I think I might be investing in a few 5 gallon buckets for a megacrop hempy grow.

I had to do a double take on the bathtub pic. I was seeing it as a sink. That's a Big hempy!

Man, you got some defol work to do!

Chopped 4x 1.5g Osmo girls today. The first ones. Can't wait for those 5g plants to get fat.

Dude all I gotta say is good jesus man u really took ur game up a notch or 6 lmao dam man lookn great. I'm about to be gettn 2 qb myself now. I figured I'd done made the plunge to get docs super soil kit now need a few more super lights to go with it hahaha. I got my growant g5 g400 light and 2 dwarf stars that put out medical quality buds but thts not enuf space coverage for me lol. So getn 2 qb light kits and hope I am able 2 figure out how to set them up lmao. Altho with watchn youtube vids I think I can do it without 2 much issues. Shit I thought docs kit was guna be super hard an that is literally about as easy as it gets when it comes to growing this plant lmao. But yea bro ur garden has me massive jellyfishn over here lol congrats.

I used to have a soft spot for Molly Hatchet and Iron Maiden album covers.

I still do.
I looked up the artist that made the piece on the bag... it's actually signed. He's a 'surf art' painter. Tead learned a new genre name.

Awesome setup Tead! I think I might be investing in a few 5 gallon buckets for a megacrop hempy grow.

Invest in some head room too. OMG they get tall!

Dat waz a shorty! The tall ones are too big to move about. When they actually became too large to get thru the bathroom door to the bathtub.... in place watering started.

Man, you got some defol work to do!

Yea... and my liking for the thick indica girls doesn't help the situation. Such a pita. I'm pretty screwed in the defol department. I mean, the tiny 1.5gals were work enough... now it's just crazy.

You're gonna love QBs. So cool in the summer months. It's kind of like having a ceiling made of light.
I was a touch concerned about my abilities to properly connect them as well. Plus, mine came direct from china, so directions were a little light. Still... it's super easy. I'm sure you can get thru it with no problems. One slight note.... the HLG supplies use European wire coloring... it's slightly different but the HLG manual had the conversion info.

Tead you know come harvest time you're going have to hire a trimming crew

If you're questionable about what you need for QB setup, talk to @Graytail. He's very knowledgeable on the topic.

I don’t drive so my options are extra limited, San Diego is large and spread out, most of those places are at least an hour apart. Funny enough, I’ve lived in 6 of those 10 cities.

Home Depot delivers, but I couldn’t find the chunky #4 stuff on their app. I’m just going to bite the bullet and Amazon it.

Old school... Tead likes such things. I picked up one of those salad bowl trimmers. It's doing the job. I might have to hook a drill up to it.... grower problems.

I was unable to recycle the small stuff in any functional way. After giving/tossing the stuff away, I moved to the big stuff. Single fixed cost vs ongoing cost.
