The irrigation is a simple setup, it's a controller and pump combo, with a solar panel for power. The unit has 12,24,48,72 hour cycles available, with 5,10,20,30 minute increments. So it's adjustable and perfect for my needs.

Not to concerned, if it was a hydroponics grow I'd be more concerned than I am. If I notice any issues or signs the plants are unhappy with the water, I will certainly address the temps of my water. At the moment my waterings are set to early morning so when the solutions coolest after a night time drop in temp. This may be more of an issue later into the season as the plants require more water daily. Requiring water during heat of the day. If it becomes an issue though I'll have to address it, up to this point, I haven't done anything.Are you at all worried about water temps in that black can? Beautiful and clean setup you have
In terms of the regular garden, I've been harvesting blueberries and raspberries daily, recently my peas and beans have started producing as well. My blackberries are beginning to ripen up as well. I personally like mixing pink lemonade, blueberry and blueberry with raspberry blackberries and peas as a snack.
I switch the peas for beans but I continue to eat handfuls throughout the day.

The deadhead og, strawberry diesel, and sour bubble have shown sex, I'm about to take some clones from each of them and get them prepared to flip. I have to redo my entire grow space now that I'm legal. I'm going to switch back to hydroponics and setup 4 bloom rooms each room for 3 plants. That way I can get a perpetual cycle going.
I am still working on a remodel on a property for my daughter. After that I'm going all in on my design and build. I am looking forward to getting back into documenting some grows and keeping up with everyone elses.

Oh - I'm a bit late to the thread - but looks like blaze is doing a fine job of it already - and seems very upbeat - since now all that paranoia can dissipate over illegality - must be a great feeling - 
Thanks for tuning in.Lovely stuff
Watching this onecongratulations on being able to grow legal

Stay tuned.
I have a pile of compost still finishing up, It was still not quite done when I received it, smelled way to strong of ammonia, So I had no choice but to postpone that part of my grow. I didn't want to risk them being damaged by the high levels of ammonia and I dont have to worry about the plants becoming rootbound in these containers so I opted to just give the compost time to finish breaking down. That's the reason why these plants are setting on the surface of a black cloth. If my compost was ready the pots would have the bottoms cut out setting 4" deep into the soil surface. I'm not highly concerned about the root temps with the fabric pots as long as they are kept moist the pots breath and evaporative cooling works. If I planned to keep them as is the entire grow I would probably put them up on something to keep them off the surface.
I wouldn't say setting pots right on the surface like I am is best practice, but I do think the issue is more of a problem with plastic containers that cannot breath with roots that are bound up and not air pruned.

That's awesome I ran some babu from CSI and I did find a pheno with some of the katsu notes present but I would like that authentic. Thanks for dropping in, I haven't tried the golden yet, but I have plans to put some in the ground. As I want to get a diverse lineup together with early, mid and late producers, I want a reasonable variety. So it's in the plans to pick up atleast one and plant it.
Is any of those beans still available? The Katsu x SD IBL? I'd be interested in a pack or two if you had them available.
I really like the taste of the orange raspberries, they're slightly raspberry tasting but unique in their own way.
It's nice that the first year canes fruit at the end of the season and the second year canes fruit mid-season
Yeah that's what I need, is something late season in terms of raspberries, so having those late season canes producing would be ideal. I think I should probably get that sooner than later, thanks for the motivation.
A shot of the plants, in just under a week the first month will be complete. I have to get my support system in place because the weathers giving them hell, but what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
Thanks for the blessing, I'll be sure to share the journey.
I've been trying to decide how I want to proceed with the rest of the setup, Initially I planned to put cattle panels on the top, I've since pondered putting an aframe on it using t post across the top, every 2 ft, such that I could place some poly sheets or even glass between the sections and turn it into an actual greenhouse with some alterations. If nothing else I could just use the aframe t post as supports for the plants.
I'm also busy with lifes many obstacles so I haven't fully set my plan and proceeded.

It’s nice really organized really tight looking
These plants are growing nicely, The plant pictured in the first photo's on page one, produced 15.5 oz and was planted from freshly rooted clone in late June between the 25th and 30th. This plants already about the same size as that one which I actually used an entire batch of soil, dug the hole and dropped a whole mix into it planted directly into it. That entire row all three plants worth of soil into a hole for that plant posted on the first page.
