Think if i put them both in the bags with more soil they will survive a drip of 15 mins/day, at a rate of 1 gal/hr.? Gonna flower them with 2 600's.

Ok... This is what I've done,so as to not disappoint myself as well as others! I put them,( the mama's) on a drip system with a timer set to water at 12:30 am,for 15 mins. everytime the lights come on.They, (lights)are set for 12am on and 12pm off. I got the clones to a good home! They'll be happy! I'll get some pics posted of my hurry your ass up and get to work project! Getting all the shit i needed to make this work was a chore! I had no time for mail order. I had to run around and get all this stuff from several towns. I've never had to leave like this! At least I was given a notice as to when I would leave. I'll be home in the middle of the week for a day,to go over the prints with my boss.I'll post pics that evening.This has turned out to be a nightmare! Wake me the hell up!:jointsmile:
I'm home for the weekend. I've had the 2 mama's flowering for a week,on a drip system.They are going through their stretch.I would say they have shot up about 6 inches in a week of flowering. That would be the sativa in the mix. There are a couple of things I've learned from using a drip system. You have to have an airstone to keep the tank churnning and bubbling with air.If not used the water fert mix in the tank,will cloud up. You also have to add soil to your pots. If you don't have enough soil,they will be overwatered! I put mine in growbags and they are in good health after being left alone for a week.I'll get some pics posted of them. I should have done a hydro grow. I started to. Not knowing I would had needed to be growing with one. Hydro system. If your a soil grower then this drip system is what you can use if your going to be gone from your grow for a period of time.
GaGroan,
So you are basically watering them a Quart of water a day, that comes out to 1-3/4 gallons a week. That seems high to me. But if you have been doing it for a week already and no issues you must be good to go and your soil must have good drainage. How are you doing nutes during this period?
I find this situation very interesting, if this works out for you, I have some Ideas running thru my head on some supper stelth grows.
Wish you the best of luck on this grow.
It would work better with a digital programable timer.... That way you could water from 1 minute increments per 24 hours and then not water the second day and so forth..... With the emitters and timer I have on there I'm only able to set it for 15 mins. per 24 hours. I'm using are 1 gal/hour drip emitters, Hydrofarm timer...They are getting more water now than they should for the simple fact,that I was STRESSING and IN A HURRY! I've since gotten a digital timer. Trying to figure this bastard out. Got the first day programmed to water and then not water on the second day. Watering them everyother day for 15 mins. Mon Wed Fri.
That sounds like a much better watering schedule.
Got home to find that my plants have started to show flowers. The only problem is that necrosis has started. i know it was over watering. Hey! I was'nt around to take care of them like I should. I'm still gonna grow them out! To much work at stake. Not to metion the SMOKE! I'll let them dry out and put the programmable on their water pump.Not bad so far!:thumbsup:
Wishing you and your ladies the best...:thumbsup:
:thumbsup: Thank's! Rusty........Quote:
