When I was running NFTG I used something like this on a drill.

If you have a problem getting one give me a shout and I will send you mine, I don't use it anymore.

Actually, I think I have one of these in my shop!.. I plan to get it mixed, and break it down to gallon size. Much more manageable. 6 gallons is just too much to try and pour out 300ml. .... thanks bud!

I think it'll be ok tho. ... stretched more than I thought they would, but they have slowed down in the past couple of days.

Awesome. You are definitely my hero! I think I remember you saying your tables were 20 feet so you must be doing something like 40 plants per bench?

No hero... just an old man trying to make a living. I think right now we are 29 ,28, and 30.. trays 1 through 3. Total 87. 40 per tray would be way too many... unless you were doing a shorter veg cycle. But we like to grow em big in those 7 gallon pots. The canopy kinda got away from me the last week. We had family down and trying entertain them distracted me a bit. I would have tied them down better. BUT!.. life's a journey... it might be a great crop!. We shall see.

Not all hero’s have capes! I think you’re in for your largest harvest yet! I think the canopy has evened out better than I expected when I saw the first picture.

I hope so!.. and yeah, the canopy is a little better than I expected from seed. Clones are def an even field if you have the right mothers. I have picked and cloned 10 of of 2 potential mothers of these 3 strains for the next run. It'll look better then.... unless the labs are crap, then we'll scrap these and try again. The last run we did had terrible THC content (different strains), but terps were off the charts.. which I wish more people would understand that its not all about THC. It's only a catalyst for the the terps. It's like having a good looking campfire pile of wood (THC)... and you got one match. IF you can get it lit, and have a good wind (Terps)..You got a good fire.
That last round ..... when I say terrible THC, Im talking about 13%, BUT! the terp profiles were 3.5, 3.7, and 5.1 Most of the Dispensary weed we see only has either less than 1%, or slightly over. I think this is due to harvesting too soon. We may have harvested a bit too late. The window in pretty small if you're trying to get the best of both worlds.
None the less,.... 13% is hard to move in this market of THC minded patients. They really don't have the knowledge to know any better. We've had some 6% THC, 6% terps that would blow your mind compared to our 23% THC, low terp strains.
Paige (Mrs. Bandit, or Frog as @Flatrate calls her) studies terpene profiles like nobody's business. There is a true science there. We can tell how each terpene affects us. Some are great for pain, inflammation,.. and some are good for sleep, or stress, anxiety. Terpenes are in everything from fruits to nuts. They all have a purpose and use. We just need more studies on how each one interacts with your own bodies chemistry. Sometimes it just takes experimentation.

Ive been saying this for years. I don't care about THC content as long as the terps are there. But i see alot of the opposite thinking.

Id say that 10% of the Dispo buyers care about terps. The rest,...meh.. not so much. I had one Dispo buyer tell me that if it didn't test over 28%, they weren't interested. ...... ok, fuck you then.. I hope you go out of business. Even tho the law here is Medical only, there are no qualifying conditions. You can get a med card online with a Cannabis Dr. in a matter of minutes, just by saying you have a hang nail. So really, this is more of a Rec market of uneducated people. For $100, you can get a card, and buy (at one time).. 3oz of bud, 1 oz of concentrate, and 72 oz of edibles. And that card is good for 2 years. Along with that card is the ability to grow your own 6 adult plants, and 6 seedlings (in veg) per person, per household. So if you got 4 people over 18, you can have 24 adult plants, and 24 seedlings (in veg). Even if they are under 18, you can get a "CareGiver" card for your child, and have an additional 6 plants, 6 seedlings per child.... oddly enough, not a lot of people grow thier own. Could be start up costs, time for caring for them, nute costs, electricity, ... who knows.
