Freedom 35

yeah just plain water. no bag on my pump. i know its the damn hose not acting right. had a long talk with the shop yesterday. if the next type of hose i order dosent work im gonna switch to drip tube with the mini sprinkler heads on stakes.

this is the hose i ordered its a flexon 25' 3 tube sprinkler hose. the holes are on one side so you can point it down for a soaker. im hoping i can dial the pressure with the cutoff valve so it dosent blast dirt all over or flip and blast the plants or room. will let yall know how it goes

oh great you are trying another hose! hope it works, i'll be (one of the first) to cop one if it does

Put a pressure regulator on it? Maintain steady pressure...

heres the week 4 pics for the ogc that i took this past weekend. no stretch at all. i wonder if thats from the water not being right. i never saw a droopy leaf or anything but it hasnt been as wet as i would like.

 

[mushroombrew]

That's odd? Doesn't look like a water issue. I wonder whats up?

How's the bulb life?

 

[Vanilla Phoenix]

My OGC you hooked me up with didn't stretch either. Not sure whats up. Definitely not a water issue, I wouldn't think. Mainly cause I hand water so no water issue here. And I replace my bulbs every 6 months. I thought I messed up the stretch by defoliating and lollipopping too much around 14 days in. But then again, this is my first run with her...

she dosent like to be topped im pretty sure. the reason i say possible water issue is because the left half of the bed stretched and the right half didnt... the left half is a bit downhill hand tends to be more wet. ill do another run of this plant untopped, but if it keeps acting like this it will go in the personal gear category. i love the smoke and its a solid strong plant. im like 90% sure ive never fimmed it i think i have always run it untopped.

i didnt really defol these and i barely lollied them at all... maybe the lowest 2 branches on each.

oh the bulbs are de 630s that are just a couple rounds in.

I wait until day 21 to defoliate. The stretch is almost over but they still have enough steam to re-leaf.

Thanks for sharing the things you have learned to the next gen growers, like me, who are beginning to come out of the woodwork. Inspiring pics and blogging.

thank you gentlemen! it has always been my pleasure.


7 day hang is over looks like roughly 1 lb 2 oz on the pink cheese and 1.25 lb for the blue dream. including the 50g glue plant that brings the total for this bed to just shy of 3#, lights were set at 800w each, so about .8 gpw not too terrible. now if i could move past this vertically challenged round of ogc x cj i would be set. i bet this round barely gives me 2#. again. two consecutive 2# runs from the same bed is beyond acceptable for me. who knows, maybe i will be pleasantly surprised. we shall see. hose came yesterday. didnt hook it up yet. will do tonight.

I love seeing a good success story. Good on ya nameless, inspirational.

 

[20sackzack]

Yeah that was cool seeing your progression over the years. Keep up the good work and things will only continue to improve

I'm curious how that new soaker hose does for you. I really like the idea of mini sprinklers and know there are people who use them with great success. There's a guy named hillmizer on here in the outdoor section that uses them in his greenhouse rows and he loves them.

I've also seen some dope setups on Insta where people are using geoplanter style beds and have built a irrigation system out of pvc that basically runs along the edges of the bed that has sprinklers in each corner and the middle sections that do a nice even job of covering the whole area. The account I'm mainly referring to is @la_made_ they grow some absolute monster plants indoors in those beds, you should definitely check out their page of you haven't seen it yet

So far my melnor flat soaker still seems to be working. I've been running it for like an hour and 40 minutes a day or something like that and I see the res drop everyday so I'm still good for now. You really can't beat how easy it was to set up. Anyways, great job with your last harvey as usual

awesome zack im gonna go check those folks out. i thought about a rigid irrigation line but i like the idea of beaing able to move it easy. plus pvc is a pain for me to work with. new hose going in tonight, havent been feeling too good. blue dreams were supposed to go in the bed last night but im gonna let them veg another two weeks, i need 3.25 off that run and im gonna get it. 100% roots on the glue and aj, going into cups tonight. also a couple days late.
