Got permission from my ladies father (who's house I live at) that we can plant 6-8 plants here.


We need to cut a few trees back so it can more light.

We can also plant 5 plants here.


Cleared out that sharp bush in the corner and the one on the right, also cut back this tree to give a lot more light.


On the other side of that fence is where i'll be doing the big 6

Never used a drip system but I'm interested in setting one up this year. They don't run 24/7 do they ?
Seems like a lot of water being used if they do ..

Can you control how fast or slow it let's the water out ?

Off to a great start Bud

The water is in a 32 gallon trash can, so when it runs out it runs out, i water them as much as i think they need.

I have a pump in there that has a cord so when you want it on you plug it in when you want it off i unplug it.

It takes about 15 minutes to water the plants, as opposed to an hour last year hand watering, and its so much easier all i have to do is fill up the trash can, ph it, plug it in and sit back while they soak up.

In total it was a 100 bucks, the most expensive part was the pump ($70), very easy to set up.

Theirs also a valve that can control how fast the water runs through the hose, you can have it so its pouring out like in the video or where its just dripping out slow (kind of a waste of electricty beacuse it takes much longer to water them)

Ok I see, I didnt know there was a pump involved. Makes a lot more sence to me now.
I think ill wait till my plants get a lil bigger before I set mine up since they're only using about a gallon every 3 days between 2 plants.

Thanks for the info bud ,really appriciate it

Been real busy this last week.

Got 5 holes dug about 2-3 feet deep.



Filled in at least 15 gallons of super soil at the bottom and then put the dirt back on top.



The 5 plants that will be going into the ground aren't ready just yet to be transplanted but I set up the drip system anyways.

Timewreck
Querkle x Agent Orange
Grape Stomper x OG
Purp
LD50


Plain, PHed water is all these girls will be getting all year.

If they need more juice later in the year I'll be top dressin with more super soil.

Thankfully the 1 Romulan clone that rooted has survived being transplanted outdoors and is now starting to show some new growth, there is also a single root coming out of the bottom of the 1 gallon pot its in :)


Have a dank day guys see you all at the High Times Cannabis Cup in San Francisco.

P.S.
No more caterpillers this year....

Does your neighbor have a lemon tree there in the background of the 3rd to the last picture??? If so, there is your pH down. Freshly squeezed pH juice. If you go that route, pH the water in the low 6 range, as it will slowly rise after applied and aerated. The soil should take care of the rest.

Nice upgrade. +rep when I can again!
