I like it. harvest was easy. Hell the whole grow was easy. Aside from watering and throwing on some ewc I didnt really have to fuck with it.
I started a thread over on the organic forum to see how i should get these 4 pots ready for the next grow. Proly going to throw a worm/kelp tea on them and just let them set. cover them up and let all that decompose. Im thinking im only going to run 2 strains this next round.
Another thing I have noticed is my screens dont have to be that tall. I think im going to cut them down. Once the plant is to the top of the screen ill be ready to move them. should also be easy to just reach over the top and pull the stalks back and clip them.
The plastic on the back of the cages limits airflow too much imo. it will not be going up again.
I will also be training this time around. Last time we just grew them A typical. This time im going to crop and spend a little more time filling in the screen properly during veg.
Im also going to run the screen a little further back on the pot so the clover fills up more of the pot. last time they just filled up the front half. Should work better if theyre covering the whole pot.
Now that I got this first one out of the way I'll finish up the fine tuning of things and the next 2 runs should see a big jump in yield.
Thanks to those that stuck around to the end. Ill get hash/flowers weights in once i get everything processed and dried. Sorry I didnt get more pics.
Here are my over all thoughts on this type of growing.
1. LOW MAINTENANCE. Having the sprayers set up on a timer didnt really work out. but having a cut off timer is awesome. I could come home from work, peak in the room and have a look. If they needed watering i could set the timer to water for 25 min and then IT WILL SHUT OFF! I think i flooded those plants 3 times because i left the water on, got stoned and forgot about them.
2. Cheap to set up. For the dirt, lights, pots, sips, fans, timers, running a 30amp 120, exhaust, seeds, worm bin/worms, compost tea brewer Im right around $1500. It this harvest dries and only weights a half pound it will have paid for itself and the electricity used to grow it.
3. No mess. Once I chopped everything down and did a fan leaf trim on it i just scooped everything up and divided everything into 5 piles. One for each pot and one for the worm bin. everything got chopped down and laid on top.
