iPhone Contest Journal Tutorial: The Great Drip Irrigation system Please see below comments. Wow so these plants stacked up another week of veg, maybe some slight stretch and flowering indicators popping up now at the end of the week. The node spacing is shrinking, a bit of stretch occurred across all the tops and the nodes also changed from parallel to alternating which is a sign of maturity in a Cannabis plant. I’ve been keeping up with the LST training and leaf tucking - it was getting pretty bushy and air flow within the plant was getting compromised so I did a bit of trimming to allow more air flow before the switch the flower. The plants are starting to also get some more pistils showing up and I think next week is 100% going to be flowering. It’s also starting to get that signature cannabis stink - which we all know and love. I had to add the carbon filter and exhaust fan on low to reduce the plants lovely odours in the grow room. I also reduced the lighting back down to 18 hours a day from 24 to help aid in the transition. It was also getting pretty difficult to water .. and I wanted it to be even easier so I built a drip irrigation system that I can run until I get run off .. then it automatically drains and can be emptied on demand. It’s a pretty cool set up so far. These girls are huge for veg.. these girls are bigger than my previous plants were at finish and we are only at the end of veg.. I’m really excited to see these plants bulk up and put on a layer of frost .. and see the jungle change into a sea of buds..! Building a Great Drip Irrigation System Items Required: 5 gallon bucket or larger Drip Irrigation Manifold Garden Staples Digital timer Submersible water pump 1/4” drip irrigation tubing 1/4” T joints Power drill 1/16 drill bit 1. Acquire the items above and get ready for some easier waterings from now on! Recommend to use with coco and the water table we built in the previous week for hassle free automatic waterings! 2. You can measure this or just guesstimate a little extra length, it’s not super important. Cut the length and number of tubing you need to reach the water storage to your growing area. 3. Cut 10-12” lengths of 1/4” tubing. You want one piece for each plant you plan on growing. 4. Connect each end of the 12” tubing together with a T-joint. This should make a circular shape. 5. Get the drill bit and drill , set it up. Now you want to drill small holes into the tubing. I placed holes all in a line around the circle about 1/3” apart. 6. Once you have all the circles drilled out you can connect these with the T-joint to the longer tubes you cut at the start. 7. Screw the drip manifold onto the submersible water pump output tube. 8. Connect the remaining ends of the tubing to the drip manifold outputs. 9. Place the water pump with manifold connected to tubing into the water storage. 10. Run your tubing to the desired locations in your garden and place the circles we created around the base of your plant. 11. With the circles around the plant , you want to use the garden staples to hold the tubing in place. 12. I recommend using this device once the plant is about 3-4weeks old, this ensures it has established a good root base already. 13. Fill the water storage with appropriate nutrients and water. See the video watering guide for more info. 14. Plug the water pump into a digital timer. You need one that has multiple on/off times per day and 1min settings. 15. Plug the pump directly into the power to for the watering , time it, see how long it takes to get a good full watering with 10-20% run off. 16. Set the timer to the timing length you learned from the previous step. Set this time for the future waterings - as the plant grows it will need more frequent waterings. 17. That’s it! Now you’re set to make your life a little easier with less time spent watering coco! *Everything in this tutorial was acquired from Amazon.ca or Amazon.com Total cost: Under $100 Canadian Dollars Wow ! We have made a lot of progress on this journal .. I hope everyone is enjoying this as much as I am! The garden is looking fantastic and we’ve made a lot of improvements so far.. We got the best Coco, the plants are trained, we have an easy watering area and now this basically takes care of itself .. just add water to the storage tote. It’s a fucking jungle in there.. So what else can we possibly improve? Well the last thing I could think of covering was adding some of the newest(and most expensive) LED technology to the garden! Next week we will cover what we need and getting started on building a frame for this beast! TEN CREE CXB3590s, 500w ! You don’t wanna miss this! Happy Growing! -TheWeedMan

As a first time coco coir grower what are some things to look out for or make sure to do? This is my 3rd growing experience, my previous two grows were done in soil. So I’m not a complete noob. Please provide a good break down on the coco coir growing experience for me.

Dude - no reach out on this? I found it on a browse and I’ve been thinking on a Pure GSC strain for a while now! Both ironic and Sweet! Will follow. Now with respect to coco - IMO it’s not much different from soil but I trust you’ve already seen that it’s got much better drainage properties. The key difference is it’s nutrient holding power in relation to soil as well as appropriate supplementation of the nutrients that soil has, that coco lacks (ie. calmag). As long as you supplement for the first month or so with calmag and keep a close eye out for nutrient burn (go easy/not full strength with nutrient formula for first run) it should be very similar to a soil grow. That’s the best I got for ya. Made the switch to coco myself because I like hand watering but would prefer a slightly faster growth rate. Cheers broski and looking forward to this one growing out!!!👊👍

Your plants look great. The only thing I believe you should improve is training: a more agressive use of LST and super cropping to keep the plant squat. Good luck mate.

What are your thoughts on these plants ? Do you have experience putting the plants in a prolonged dark period for 24-72 hours before harvest? If so, what happened? Does this method improve the quality of the final product ?

hey man, there's a lot of FUD about the dark period, basically the main idea is that there's little you can do in the last 48 hours of a 3 month grow that will do something significant on the grow overall. but the dark period for sure has some benefits, for example a dark period before the chop means less photosynthesis chemicals present for the dry + cure. Second the dark period will boost the creation of terpenes. some say it's good for thc, but trychomes take 2 weeks or more to really make THC, so that"s FUD. second thing is that on planet earth it's almost never dark for two days straight, anything really more than 24H and for sure 48H will start messing with the trychomes and they could oxidise which is bad because you loose that much in potency. Hope this clears this up a bit, good luck ! 🚀

October 17th, 2018. Today is the day Prohibition on Cannabis has ended in Canada. As a Canadian citizen, I can purchase cannabis from the store and legally grow plants in my residence for personal consumption. This is a great day for Canadians and the world ..! I hope the other major countries follow our lead in next few years! 😎

@@@@TheWeedMan, just on the papers in reality its hard to get a description .. or find a doctor that describes... or beeing allowed to grow your own medical.... i dont know any... person who gets medical weed personlly only hearing of them its ha rd and long process for the persons who medically need it the weed is coming from canada, because german medical growers dont exist because of the law. you have to show 2 years of expereience in industrial growing before getting a license for industrial growing.. and so on

@BeefWellingtons, thanks bro! Even 1 or 2 plants it’s still good.. it’s all about growing your own! Yeah I pretty much got a maxed out 4x4x7 tent. The only other thing I could add would be like CO2 but I don’t think I’m gonna do that. Seems like too much work for a hobby grower.. goodluckin getting the bigger grow area man! 😎👊🏻

Really nice yield and beautiful buds!! As for the bubble hash, if you don't have the washing machine, I'm telling you its grueling work. I only have 1 gallon bags, but even with 5gallon, its gonna suck. Might I suggest you research the dry ice method? It looks like it pulls a lot more out than the bubble hash with ice water. Also, you can use same bags for it. Less work, higher return. Good luck, awesome grow!!

@TheBudWhisperer, should be an interesting experiment! The new COB led lights should also prove interesting ... not many examples out there but from what I’ve read/seen the results have been spectacular ! It’s gonna be 10 Cree CXB3590 COBs (Best COB LEDs) @3500K run at 50w each. Should provide over 1200 PPFD in flowering .. I believe cannabis maxes out at around 1000 PPFD so I could even add on CO2 down the road ..!
