Holy crap! These girls exploded in growth this week.. I’m stunned at the explosion of greenery. The tent is actually getting a little full, I’m starting to wonder if I’m going to run out of room in the tent..
The plants are getting lots of tops on them now and are brushing out nicely. The LST training is keeping me busy in the garden but it looks like it’s paying off. Plus they still look great, green and vibrant !
I also reduced the lights from 24hrs straight to 18hrs on / 6hrs off. I did this to hopefully trigger the flowering of the plants as they’re getting a bit big!
Making the Best Water Table!
Items Required :
Flood tray
3/4” PVC Pipe
Four PVC 3-Way Joints
Four PVC 4-Way Joints
Four PVC T-Joints
3/4” Rubber Grommet
Low and wide tote
1” Hole saw
Power Drill
PVC Pipe Cutter
Tape Measure
Marker
1. First figure out what size of water table you want for your growing space. (I used a 3’x3,’ Botanicare PVC flood tray in my 4’x4’ tent and it fits great.)
2. Once you have the specs for the table you want , go out and get the stuff! I highly recommend the PVC pipe cutter for the $20 it makes this job very easy.
3. Take measurements! Measure twice - cut once! For the water table I built I needed over 40’ of PVC.
4. Measure and cut all your pieces to length.
5. Assemble them together according to the instructions on this website. (https://formufit.com/pages/pvc-kids-sand-and-water-table) I came across this and is very similar to the concept we are building.
6. Now that you’ve got that PVC water table all done - wasn’t too hard , right? - we can get onto the next steps.. the drainage.
7. I recommend setting up your table with the basin inside it so you can see if water naturally flows to an area OR you can put your table on a slight incline to force water to one side.
8. Once you decided on where the water will drain .. empty it out and drill a 1” hole in the bottom of the basin.
9. Insert the rubber grommet tightly into the hole, add silicone sealer if you made it to big.
10. Insert a small piece(1-2”) of 3/4” PVC into the grommet to direct all drainage downwards.
11. Place the tote under the drainage tube.. this will catch all the run off from the waterings + it will allow extra humidity if needed or can be easily pulled out and manually dumped as need / at the end of each week.
12. Congratulations , you now have a fully functioning Watering Table with drainage !

Supplies cost: Approximately $250 Canadian Dollars
So that’s it everybody! Now we have the perfect coco and we’re training the plants too plus now we have an easier watering setup!
But don’t worry - I’ve still got more tutorials for you to enhance your grow room!
Next week we will cover building a timed drip irrigation system....!
Make sure to check back for more.
Happy Growing!

Its Charles Parato....I have one question about WEEK 1 your feeding during that week...how many days after you planted did you wait for the first nutrient feeding? I think I am going to use this feeding schedule for Fast Buds Zkittlez...in the germination process now....will have a diary started next week or so...already putting together some videos and photos....probably post my diary a week behind my actual process...more or less I want to know HOW SOON CAN I USE THE RAPID START???
@@TheWeedMan, well I jumped the gun loaded my first diary....I didnt know you could easily edit it for each week....I will add a Day-7 slide show of each plant again....THEY LOVED THE 1ML CALMAG & RAPID START each..green'ed right up even started TINY TINY TINY little serrated leaves in like NO TIME FLAT....they were looking a bit purple...on the first round leaves......BUT GOING GREAT.....got what 14-15 likes on my diary in my first hour....THANKS AGAIN YOU DID A GREAT JOB LETTING SOMEONE TEACH THEMSELVES.....im going to nail this thing,,,,I DONT HAVE ANYHTING ELSE TO DO BUT GIVE PLASMA TWICE A WEEK AND PLAY ICE HOCKEY TWICE A WEEK....well thats my physical therapy...Ice Hockey....payed for it all with BLOOD MONEY from the Plasma center...O'yeah that reminds me I need to list my expenses for my $1000 4x8 tent budget grow....this new light I think even you would approve of....I LOVE IT...so much better....photos of it in the TENT SET UP SLIDE SHOW....totally impressed...compared to the others I thought were good....brighter to the eyes, and better spectrum according to the camera

@@TheWeedMan, whelp I said "FUCK IT" which is actually a BOOK TITLE I started....I said all 8 look great its day 3.5-4 lets go for it....so I hit them with a light quick watering at Ph 5.8 with 1ml Rapid Start & 1ml CalMag both GHE....based on the color...RAPID START is just more Magnesium in it...TOTAL RIP OFF....but I got it for $7 so im not going to complain....WOW THAT TOOK MY Ph WAY DOWN...had to check three times before I had the right amount of Ph UP in there to put it at 5.7-6.0....I CANT AFFORD A QUALITY Ph meter and the cheap one NOT GOOD AT ALL...so using the chemical Ph test kit....but rinsing things off...My R/O/ water is already perfect at 6.0 so I have to love that for $0.87 a gallon from the store...have to see how my tap water is after my R/O filter system arrives...BUT FOR $90 it will pay for itself in under a month.....GOT 8 UP ALL ABOUT 2 INCHES...LOOKING REALLY GOOD...should have a diary worth looking at come Tuesday night Wednesday afternoon....I THINK IVE GOT IT....went all Zkittlez figured trying to deal with four different genetics to soon would be a disaster for at least half the plants...I have to heavy's and two moderate to light eaters....LOOKING GOOD....hope they can handle the CalMag & Rapid Start...1ml each to about 1.3 gallons...BUT VERY LIGHT WATERING......will Ph water again later to make sure it hasn't changed to much....but I use a CHEMICAL PUMP SPRAYER...they work great nice reach controlled flow and precision watering...not to mention great reach in tough places....JUST TAKE THE TIP OFF ITS A REGULAR WATERER....I love them for $10 use those to RAISE HUMIDITY in my tubs for Boomer Asiansan's
@@TheWeedMan, Welp, got all 8 up and growing...about one inch each...3 are still kicking the seed shell off...day 2 since they all broke the surface.....looking good so far...not bad for a first time rookie...gotta get through this first week they seem to all be responding well to the coco I placed them in...nice dark green leaves....first diary will go up on Tuesday or Wednesday....that first 24 hour part is nerve wrecking
@OutForReal, training works great. I haven’t done any other plant training as I worry it may stunt growth. But with aggressive LST training I got these lovely plants 👊🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
