Yeah for me I really enjoy the act of smoking. I just like doing it. So if it tastes like crap I just really don't want it. I'll sacrifice a bit of potency for a great taste. I'm gonna be smoking all day long anyway so I get high either way. Sometimes I'll smoke all day on something really potent and take an accidental nap. lmao.

eg. the grateful breath. I really want to have it tested because it has to be very high. One bowl puts me down hard.
That's it. Well put Bob. Smoking isn't just a means of getting baked for me. I enjoy the whole process. Even the anticipation of smoking gets me going.

I love puffing on something that smells and tastes good. Shit, just cracking the jar open for a whiff is enjoyable.

It's a bit of a ritual isn't it? I Love all aspects. Except trimming. Which i'm doing now.

You and me both. I'm on about hour 6 of trimming today. :neutral:

Think I'm gonna have to push back the lawn mowing ANOTHER day. The neighbors must think I'm a lazy sack of shit.
LMAO! I bought a bunch of ground cover and flowers to put in the front flower bed. They are all still sitting on the front porch in the little containers they came in and half are dead now. Part of me thinks it's a good strategy. I imagine the neighbors thinking:

-There's no way that guys growing weed. He can't keep fucking iceplant alive!

I love smells too. A pleasent taste is nice too.

Other than that tho, meh.. I honestly just wanna get high.

I could see how people would like to linger on the enjoyment of taste.

I enjoy the taste of my morning coffee. Alot.

Yoda said the taste was trash tho. Potency top notch but not worth anything due to taste.

If you like the taste of coffee you really need to grow some bubba kush. Like a mocha latte in your bong. :)

Also, @flamingpie awhile ago you mentioned giving the plants a nice soak and if they leak out the bottoms wet vac it out of the tent. Well this is my new practice and it works amazingly well. I can give my big plants the water they need without worrying about stagnant pooling water. Sometimes the simple things escape us. I've had a shop vac next to the tent for years. Lmao. Anyway, thanks!

It's a back saver for sure!

Another thing I did was attach a condensate pump to my dehumidifier so I don't have to empty it anymore.

I also made this:

I have tigers milk. Might pop that next year. Bubba Kush x Snow Lotus I believe.

Yea high is the most important thing tho as I can smoke some shitty tasting weed if its potent. But not if it tastes like poo lol. Prolly the one I couldn't go for. At least that was the only problem with the Daybreaker in Yoda eyes.

I agree with Bob if you love coffee you would Bubba Kush. Its my favorite truly the flavor is amazing. Been trying to find a real Bubba cut just cus I want that Bubba flavor. Gonna have to try s1

You rock pie.been thinking of something exactly like that. I have several pumps from my hydro days and I'm getting quite sick of my newly invented yoga positions like the "downward watering-that-far-back-plant dog".

Here's my question pie: when you turn "off" the water flow on the hose to move to the next pot what happens to the pump? does water flow backwards through the pump and is this ok? does it strain the motor? Thank you in advance. I'm literally going to the hardware store right now.I learned so much from this site by lurking forever but I'm getting even more out of it by actually interacting.

ps ive heard nothing but great things about the tigers milk.

You need this a plug with a switch. By electrical in home depot.

You turn flow of water on and off with this switch.

The water will drain back towards the pump and sometimes with gravity it will want to drain the line towards the pot. Just stop watering a little sooner.

You don't want to close the line to stop flow. That will create pressure against the motor.

Turning power on and off will not strain pump. My pump has been going a year now.

Also be sure to secure the tubing to the pump with a zip tie. I can't tell you how many wet floors I had before I started zip tieing. lol

If your tent is 4ft deep I recommend 6 feet of tubing. Get at least a 24 inch wand. This allows me to sit crosslegged the entire watering.

Dispose of tubing every 2 months. Clean wand every new flower cycle.

awesome! thank you so much. My tent is 10 feet deep so I got a 36" wand and 12 feet of tubing. My pump is a 428 GPH so hopefully the extra power will help move it along the longer tubing.

Many thanks again. Will use it for tonights watering. Stoked!

So that tubing is connected to the pump which is connect to the wand with the quick connect? Maybe a pic of how you have the tubing connected to the wand I'm def trying to find a better way to water all these plants its killing my back lol

I've got a 5 gallon bucket with a garden hose faucet silicone into it.

Same idea but gravity fed, bucket has to be about 5 feet up for good pressure to the bottom.

I didn't even think to hook my water pump up that way :) Don't know why now that I've seen it in front of me. Seems so easy I feel dumb for not thinking of it lol.

Yup. Realized that my first grow.

Grew some monster AK's and not having ever trimmed before my hands were fucking dead afterwards. Ease of trim is definitely factored into my list of keep qualities, fuck that leafy shit :)
See, I thought it was all cool the first few harvest because they were far and few between in those days so harvest time was a God send. Fast forward 13 years and I would almost rather go to work at a "real" job. Almost. Hopefully I'll get to the point were I no longer trim my own but for now, it's what we do.

Quick connect is unnecessary. You just need wand and the male hose repair piece.

You need the outlet switch for sure tho.
