Im up to watering twice a day. I used to do this with the hose but with the drip system on a timer I do nothing but top dress and let the drip system do the rest. Comes on at 3am and 3pm for 15 minutes . :mrgreen: I have a cheap RV filter maybe pulling out chlorine but no Micro heard problems.

I have been thinking about setting up a watering system.... 2 hours a day pretty much just watering, or feeding. a watering system would cut it down to... turn it on, turn it off. and I could still use it when I feed too so that would be a win win, my only concern would be with the plants getting the amounts of water they need, some use more or less than others. Im still on the fence, but leaning towards doing it. definitely wouldnt use a timer though. it would be worth my thought and attention to when and for how long I would turn it on.... glad its working for you, I have seen it Kick Ass for some people :)

EDIT: I would also want to NOT let the first couple minutes of water hit the plants soil, it gets HOT in the lines, so I flood out the hot water and then water the plants with nice cold water. It helps with the Hot temps outside to keep the roots cool during the day, which is why I have been watering in the afternoons. feedings would be in the mornings, foliage in the evenings. but I have noticed the plants really thrive on the Hot days when their roots are cooled and watered deeply to keep cool that afternoon. Im on the verg of- water in the afternoon, feed the next morning, water the next afternoon, feed the next morning.... and so on. I will also be feeding like this going into flower especially giving them that good Boost they need for flowering, as it will be Hot then as well ;)

Lucky.. Just need an automatic bug sprayer and the shit will grow itself lol.

I'm adding drip system and a Hudson fogger to my wish list for next year.

They have flood hoses at walmart for like 20bucks. I just turn them on for an hour a day. An every other day they get the hose also. I like the flat cloth like ones the best. Think they come in 25, 50, 75 ft.

I was pretty uneasy with it too and still are a little bit . It was nerve racking figuring out how often and how long and it changes with temps. It might of cost me a root rot plant earlier on. I use the sprayers and the ground gets pretty moist on the outsides. I have some plants in smaller buckets outside of the green house that needs extra watering from the hose in the late afternoon. I don't feed to often, more top dress than anything,so that cuts out a lil bit of work. Only feed teas 3 times now ? From transplant my timer went from 10 mins every four days down to 10 mins every day upped the time to 15 mins every day till now at 15 mins twice a day. I changed it tonight to 20 mins once a day. I think twice a day was to wet for the green house plants and they could dry up more... I won't be able to get through the green house very easy during flowering.. Probably going to feed the micro heard one more time and top dress a few more N feedings then top dress a huge pile of Jamaican and Peruvian guano a few weeks into flower and call it good. lol

I think they're like 12 bucks. lol I work there. The flat ones are pretty bad ass. The other one that is that rubber material will likely let more water through but will weather bad.

I'm picking up two on payday. Simple to just plug it in with a quick connect after flooding out the hot water and let it soak. Sick.

Doesn't Lowe's have hose timers for 20 bucks or somewhere there?

Hello Rollitup users,
I just wanted to show my first greenhouse and first ever grow.
But I have some quesiton is it normal that the tallest plant you can see is like 2.3m - 2.5m and its only July, and other plants are 1.8m and up.
And its getting a bit cramped in my greenhouse any suggestions? Should I take off the film of my greenhouse or should I leave as it is?

Sounds kinda tall to me, like maybe stretched and you ran it 12/12 from seed, but I'm drinking and lazy to convert meters to feet (Why do so many here do that shit?:idea:)Maybe I'm just old school, LOL.
Tell us more.
Did you veg?
12/12 from seed? How many hrs. light per day...... Direct or indirect?
Read some, you'll get an idea what info you need to provide for a good answer.

You know I started them on a window sill in April and planted them in green house in May.
And I have direct sunlight on the green house from morning till dawn.
I have different strains there. And its hard to tell which is which because my grandmother mixed them up :D
But one mexican sativa is starting to bud.
Oh and about tallnes in feet they are about 7 - 8 feet.

pull the top And sides off your green house, pull the plants away from each other and tie them off a bit so some air can get between them. maybe through netting over your wood frame there to support them and anchor them to the sides and away from each other ;). turn your greenhouse into a SCROG screen :D . Happy Growing.

How far out of my scrog screen should I let my shoots grow out ? I figure there is four weeks of vegg left at least. I know if it's to tall and I miss judge the stretch I could just end up with a bush again ?

Supercrop and keep them all within the screen?
