lol...actually ...i'm thinking more like this >>> set up in strategic locations and gravity feed the water from point A to point B

i don't want them to get a taste for it...ha
I've been so busy in my world I haven't stopped by here in a couple weeks, you've been busy, Nothing like the great outdoors. You have a lovely piece of land from the looks of it, all that hard work paying off
i'm totally at peace when i'm with the plants in nature.. it's why i do it!
Awesome show so far ~star~, love all the pics you are sharing
you have a genny out there too don't you ? you could fill those barrels from the stream with a small pump if theres not enough rain to fill them .

thanks~
yep///also was think about a marine style bilge pump that runs off batteries >>> https://www.westmarine.com/marine-pumps
I can vouch for the rainbarrels I've had one in my kitchen for many years now.I come out of my R/O spigot to the top of the barrel,keep it filled to 50 gals.for the most part, and dip my gallon water container from the top to take care of business.Barrels are the bomb.So many uses if you use your imagination

8 weeks from seed and still not much sex differentiation yet ..frustrating for me i can't hold them much longer as is...tomorrow I’m moving the entire crop to actual planting sites and it's a long trek thru the woods..there's no easy way to move them...i just have to carry them in bins and make multiple trips

Im not an outdoor guy by any means, but usually they would show sex maybe 7-10 days into flower right? We are still at the longer light hours of the year. I suspect they wont show until at least 2nd week of July, if not later.. Usually they start to flower in Aug an finish end of Sept (if lucky), I really cant see them showing sex before this? Any other thoughts about that?
I really think you are losing out big time every day you dont have these in the ground. They will EXPLODE once they are in there and can stretch their legs. You dont seem to shy away from hard work, I dont either, if it were me I would have them all in ground and ready to kill males and shed a little tear as you think of that bit of work wasted.
Would you wait for a plant to show sex indoor before you up potted it? No, cause it would already be in 12/12. You may even stunt them by waiting longer.
Again, not an outdoor guy haha

mee too!! moo too guys
al ..you've made some good points...i don't want any plants bigger then shoulder height for one thing..i'm not worried too much about yield because yield WILL BE GOOD
i'm 8 weeks in and determined not to plant up to 45 or more potential males ..i moved all the plants 1000's of feet through the woods to the actual planting sites this early A.M. it's amazing what one can do when one is motivated...i'm home on break,but the rest of the week will be spent setting up MY GRoW!
hopefully i can keep updates on ICMAG...peace
yeah the long daylight is not helping to sex them at all. Could always try and make a blackout tent out of tarps it may help them show.

what a day ... no pics tonight,but 3 sites have been cleared and stocked w/plants
i had to run a bamboo stake thru each individual pot in order to anchor them into the ground to keep them from tipping over...i'm happy w/the positioning right now they're looking at least 8 hours direct sunshine while staying close to the edge of the tree lines...it's heavily populated w/white tail deer and i'm worried..nothings caged ,but i tried some repellant around the perimeter of 2 of the 3 sites ...tomorrow a.m. will tell me if the Deer care about the new foliage in town,or not.... lot of weed whacking,lot of trips back and forth up & down hill grades carrying stuff i needed,wheel barrelling water thru paths i made previously ....5 gallon water jugs & pails are stashed various convenient places & there's some continually running water close enough so that i can utilize it for watering & feeding with out breaking my back in the process...the trick out there in the woods is not to run out of food(which i did even though i brought some with me)...i was dragging ass by the end of the day...i'm thinking i can hold them above the ground for one more week w/daily watering...so far i have THREE confirmed females,& LOTS of suspected males ... this is out of about 75 total plants started from seed in the beginning of May....peace all
sounds like its time for a cold 1 and a shot of tequila ...or shots
