How long does it take you.......

This is my first year growing, so I won't be able to answer this till end of the season, but I break my waterings up throughout the day. Starting at 0500 I mix up the tea, 0600 morning leaching at 1/4 strength for 2min @ 1.6gpm, then around 0800 it gets bumped to 1/2 strength 2min@1.6gpm, and finally at 1200 I give age appropriate dose of 3min@2.0gpm. When I do this, the ground below the plant does not show over saturation, and I believe this is due to the plant having the most adequate nutrients available during the peak production levels. At the least this is what I tell myself. Leachings are now being done every 7 days.

For the last 3 years I mixed a 5g for every plant and let me assure you... it was the gay. This year I'm mixing in a 50g horse trough and pumping that shit... it's the win.

The five gallon bucket I have used from the beginning next to the 55gal that I mix in now.


Three airstones hooked in a series-parallel with the pump pulling from the bottom and dumping on the top .

Nice^^

6. put up the light dep?
7. trim a lb?
8. smoke a 1/4oz blunt? I'll roll em for you if you cant. i hand roll better than coked up cuban.

10. change your bulbs?

6. 1 minute!! (still not sure if its working though )
7. im slow trimmer ~ 4-6 hrs depending on strain. ive spent 6 on super fluffy sativas
8. 20 minutes if i had a shitty day, 1 hour otherwise
9. i will forever hate UW: Stinky Socks pheno for this, its a great producer but i swear it took me 2 hours the first time i trimmed it. and it smells exactly like the namesake.
10. im easy only a few bulbs for me so less than 5 minutes.
