This is my first ever grow and thought I'd document and also seek advice. Neurodivergent grower here, seem to have gone overboard for a first timer. Running a drain to waste system through coco/perlite (70/30). Using 1.2 gallon pots from The Bucket Company. Hooked to a water bubbler irrigation feed from reservoir. The reservoir is a makeshift mobile chiller aha. Seemed a good a idea but could only hold 3-5 gallons at a time. Will need to either fork out on a water chiller with bigger reservoir upgrade or think or something. Under the reservoir we have the EZrun-off pump by The Bucket Company. Essentially a catch tray with a pump inside that automatically pumps the waste out to the desired location when maximum storage capacity is close. Mine runs just over to my kitchen sink.....when I can be bothered to make some holes underneath....I could hide the pipes and make it more stealthy via routing it to the drain pipe works under the sink cupboard. Old drippers where replaced mid veg stage with Netbow halo drippers by Netafim. Achieved a much more uniformed saturation of the medium. My nutrient of choice will be MegaCrop by Greenleaf nutrients plus additionals such as Orca mycorizhae and Myco Chum for the extras... Popped seeds directly to riot cubes on 14/06/24. 3 days later we have sprouts. Purple Stardawg x2 Runtz x2 Strawberry Cough x2

If you are in week 5 i wouldn’t take them all at once, remove only the ones that shade buds or lay on top of eachother. A full leafstrip would be quite some stress for week 5 in my opinion. This is a nice tutorial: https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-super-simple-3-step-defoliation-tutorial

Great grow! Big investment for the first grow but it looks very good! I didn't know of this bucket system, could you please show how you store the nutrient mix and the tank? I've been thinking of building something like this myself. Good luck! ty

@Mrs_Larimar, aha you're correct! Thanks for the advice and steps to take! I think I am too delved into documenting these 3 strains now. I think I'll just suck it up and wait until next cycle aha. Much love!
