okay, well first of all let me explain the setup. I found a natural drip that will be there all summer, I watched it all last year and checked on it in the winter. it is very consistent. The natural drip is funneled into a reservoir, and then from there a 1/2 inch line is ran to the plants. I can put the drip on a timer, but I would rather not, because that is just one more trip to replace batteries. Should I use slower emitters ?

I just picked up some 3 gal grow bags and plan on poking a ton of holes all over it to help aerate. I also picked up some local premium organic soil, perlite, and advanced nutrients 3 part heavy harvest nutrients. I wanted to create a very airy medium so they do not get over watered. How about adding river rocks to the mixture? Any other tricks? I was thinking about doing hempy buckets but the hydro man wouldn't give me advice on such because he is against growing in anything carcinogenic

Most of the plants will start from clone and have a tiny bit of time to get rooted indoors. By the time they go outside it will be a few weeks into summer solstice

The heavy harvest is a time release fert
  • Heavy Harvest Spring - 25, 9, 7
    Heavy Harvest Summer - 13, 15, 11
    Heavy Harvest Fall - 13, 14, 16


I have no idea how to use these, except that spring is suppose to be until summer solstice, and summer blend until aug 21(i think), and the fall for the final bloom. Anyone have any experience using these products? How did you mix it in to your soil? How much did you use?

Any advice is appreciated. I really want this outdoor grow, my 2nd this year because the first failed from heat stress, to run smoothly
