thats about the time I do it, I take my time though and lasts about 2 to 3 hours. I watered today and was done by 4pm.
Oh ok cool. I take maybe 5 minutes to water each plant haha
Yea your schedule is fine
the reason I do it that way is to keep the moisture out of the place I grow it raises the humidity if I don’t do it that way.
Oh ok, I wasn’t telling you how to do it I was just explaining how I do mine
I didn’t think that at all I need all the help I can get. since I don’t have the exhaust part of the grow place I have to somehow get rid of the extra humidity. since water evaporated makes humidity I figured that keeping as much out as possible will help. I don’t have pans under my pots is the main reason. if I put pans underneath I wont have enough space to put all my pots. right now I have 12 pots in my space. they just barely fit. so its why I take them out to drain them. I explain things so that someone will say hey you shouldn’t do it like that. like I said earlier im out of smoke, out of people to get it and right now just out. so its very important that these plants grow and grow good. I think im actually losing my social skills because of my recent development. been a 3 weeks now without. my outdoor grow I had to redo because my dog went and decided to dig in a brand new dirt area. so im a ways away from seeing anything there.
I feel you I’m goin about a month dry and my plug is dry.and it’s gonna be till April before I have any. I stay away from public when I don’t have any as much as I can
thought it was just me thanks for letting me know that. Ive been clipping some of the x plants they are big and bushy I may get a little to at least taste it again, what ive clipped isn’t quite dry yet but I just smelled it and it smells good.

At least you are somewhat close haha. All mine are still months away from harvest haha. Keep your chin up 
just the x plants the wws are further away than yours I think.
Mine are only 14 days old haha.
You’re gonna make it, keep your head up and try to stay as positive as you can. I know how bad it sucks, believe me. I’m have in a $#!+y couple of days and could really use some, but I won’t have any till I head to CO in April. If you need anything just holler
I would love to go to Colorado. just to be able to walk inside a shop and say I want to try that and that and yeah that one too would be great. how could you ever leave once there. ive been thinking about going for about a year now. I have dogs no one to watch them so id have to drive and I don’t think my car would get me there and back. still thinking of a way. let me know when you get back how it was.
It’s amazing up there not to mention the surroundings are beautiful. Believe you me, I’ll be letting everyone know how the Mountain Retreat goes. I’ll be out of contact for the 3 days while sitting in a cabin or hot tub in the mountains smoking the good herb

ive been to Colorado once when I was a kid, and it was what you said. I need to figure a way. I have a problem now. I took a neuts sample to work and tested it and was 7.2. I also have received the up and down kit I ordered. so I took the down and my container of neuts with me about 3/4 of a gallon. the bottle of up and down was about 8 ozs. every where I read here said to be careful with this stuff so I used a capful first, then another and once more. the neuts maybe dropped to 7.1. then I added half the bottle and last I checked it didn’t get below seven. am I doing this wrong or do I have a bad product? i really messed up. I used the ph solution to test the neuts after I feed. bad idea. the reading was about a 4.0 will this kill them? I have already started flushing them to get out as much as possible. I have a ph meter for water coming. the one I used was at work and is suppose to be accurate. I used a 7 ph test solution and it read 7.3. I don’t know what went wrong. I am adding the up to the neuts and will try again in a few days. I hope its not going to kill them. if I need to do anything else let me know.
these are the latest pics a week later. the last two are the x seeds the rest are the wws. you can see I started 4 earlier than I did the last five which are smaller. is there a way to make them catch up? I have been looking but I still cant tell if my xs are m or f .

hey @fwn54 Hows it going?
You cant tell the sex till they start to flower.
on the pH my gallon of water is about 7.6 pH. I add 5 drops and I’m down to 6.7
Sounds like that pH down has gone bad.
Use a dropper. you can get one wherever you get the new ph down.
Make sure you stir up or shake your water and only pH it when you are ready to use it as it will change as it sits.
thanks for the help. ill figure it out as soon as my ph meter gets in should be only a couple of days. not sure what happened with the meter at work. the manual ph test I did though shows that the low ph solution is just fine. thanks again.
I run clean water over my electrodes in between readings or at least dip it into a cup of water to be sure i am getting clean readings.
i know how to run water tests. I run them for boilers and cooling towers. the instrument I was using was at work and not sure why it would be that off. its ok when I get my own ill figure it all out. thanks.

this is an update on the outside plants. just today they started coming up. after I had put the seeds in the ground we had a cold spell, then I planted some more a few days later when nothing came up, then we had a bunch of rain. ive been waiting yesterday there was nothing and I thought id have to plant again, but today I checked and I have at least 15 coming up. the sites system works and I have a bunch that I can tend to outside. I am only going to let ten or twelve grow I will let the better ones live and pull the rest. these are bag seeds so I have no idea what they are or what sex they will be, just wanted to thank everyone for their help.
