Drain for coco - How to get rid of it?

I think I've grown 25kg (50lbs+) the last 2 years, almost to the day. I have still never trimmed a single bud 🤣

Honey, my brilliant, beautiful wife! I love you very much!
I trimmed in the early days but it has always been the worst part in my opinion! I would rather give my 2 trimmers double what they currently get than trim a zip myself.

If I can’t make $2 and avoid trimming it! It would probably be the end of it being easy to help my daughter finish her masters degree!

Growing this amazing plant/medicine is amazing! Being able to have a hobby that you enjoy after retirement and making 10 cents every couple months is priceless!

Peace

This looks legit! I must express my extreme distaste for the black hardware store tubing. It has a memory that I could never retrain.

The FloraFlex or Netafim tubing is much softer, doesn’t have a memory, and much easier to connect to fittings. It only cost $5 per 100 feet and can be the same cost if found on sale.

Lol thanks, yeah you are absolutely right it was a real bitch to streighten up, considering also that i got a bad contracture at the shoulder it was very painful hahaha

I also read that looping the system is not any better than do dead end lines but whatever....Its working and the emitters are all shooting the same amount !!

Because we can't get all around ratchets were always a pain to adjust and then we had two ratchets basically explode, one just missed my eye. I paid something like your $40, they go 250KG, same yellow controllers but swapped them out with the button switches - heh some guys like building fancy trainsets, I liked building a fancy grow room!

Oh step daughter can do too (actual daughter a bit young at 5!) but the 20 year old lives under our roof and gets free weed so fair swap!


I have no electrical skills! In fact I got a pretty nasty electrical shock just this year - I'd just killed a snake in the house so seemed like electrakarma! have a decentish Thai guy but @Absorber has given me lots of much appreciated second opinions as well.

He builds us these control boxes with digital timers and magnetic contact switches inside running to dedicated breakers (the more basic relay style were struggling with the Amps all coming on at 8am, now they give a reassuring "THUNK" when they I/O


Umm yeah - we have a room in another house we rent filled with poor grow purchases 🤣



We do similar 50 gallon = 200L the 8x4 and the flower room will take about 70L daily mid flower - 17-18 Gallons. Mostly we do once a day 2 hours before lights out, to run off. But when everything is in full effect, say some in veg, some in flower we do 300L - 75 gallons every two days. Plus a bit extra for the mothers/clones. Its actually only 15 minutes to mix on your own, 10 if its two of us. But whole family and nanny/driver can do it if required. Hard getting there given my Thai is super basic and most of them their English is worse!

But yeah love your room dude! That I had a bit more space!

All my grow bros said run 8 lights. I went 6 lights with rolling tray tables. Again 110% lazy!

However I don’t need to do any yoga or gymnastics when I’m working in the room. The 4x8 trays easily move 4 feet apart to do the work.

My room has been remodeled 2 times around being lazier.
