Deep water now bro...i learnt two yrs ago just giving the girls a 9 litre water (u must have a watering container like mine) just didnt cut it once they get to about a metre tall
Im lucky i hooked up a hose to my rainwater tank and now the sour kush is getting fat i leave the hose on it to give a deep water.
Reckon it got bout 40 litres last nite before this heatwave we have today and the next 2 days 38-40 temps.
I know u dont have that luxury and prob dont need to with your cooler weather but you may have to double that amount on your regs if they get big
My yard fucken stinks in this sticky heat all due to one plant !

The most I can get up there is 15 litres if I go buy some 15l watering cans. Otherwise 9 litres every 2-3 days is all I can do. I'm breaking a top of 19 today and they still smell :p

I wonder with the rain you get now and then maybe you could make a tarp up to catch rain straight into a drum....maybe something to help u out next yr
I just know that when you do have high temps (do u get any weeks where maybe 32 plus 5 or more days in a row) a deep water sees explosive growth for 3 days after as the plants roots go all out to get every bit of water available..this is just my situation though im lucky i have 2000l water available at all times

I have two 20l canisters, but they're fucking heavy to haul up for 17 plants.

On bin night steal a few 240L bins (when there empty!) or buy a few from bunnings.. buy a few tarps and rig up a few catchments whilst we still have some rain coming. May not supply all ur water but if u can pack in what u can and then use these you should be good. You can also buy the 1000L plastic ones (thye have the metal cage around em) second hand for $100 bucks everywhere. I dont know what your acces is like but if u can get a ute up there they would be the go.

We are not ment to have to dry a summer (unlike the last few years) so that should help us. Dont over water em in the next month. You want those roots to try to get deep. Its common Gorrila mistake to over water and then we get dry weather and to many plants that we cannot water and they stress due to not having too work the root structure early.

Yeh mines from hso. My first Tangier grew really twisted leaves. My other 2 are coming out of half flowering. Mine smells like sherbet lollies. Have a small wild Thailand growing next to it smells really nice as well.

easy cheap solution. Mitre 10 Have a drill powered pump

Take a spare battery for ur battery powerd drill as they do drain em fast. (i use one to help empty my fish tank)

Or spend the cash and get a proper 12v operated pump and power with a car/m/bike battery.
