Thanks, my favorite guys!!! YOU ALL helped me sooo much, I think I'm still a newb, just a more educated/experienced newb, haha..
And personally, I get an amazing amount of satisfaction working with my ladies every day, and they are helping pay the bills now via donations, so that is a plus!!!!

ICannabis..I'm growing 12 in my ebb&gro, plus I just learned that your supposed to treat coco like hydro also...so I'm growing mostly hydro now, think there may be 4 or 5 left in sunshine advanced #4. coco-tek is my new fav, small, easy to stock up on, and fills and 18gal tote with 1- $11 brick, add 40% perlite, boom! I have some I put in huge pots (wide 10 gallon) lol I thought they were 15 or 20/gal, derr..have roots coming out the holes drinking the run off after only a few weeks in them! Roots move easily, get tons more oxygen than reg soil..happy roots= happy plants!
Found a guys grow on here yesterday that has a plastic garbaga pale 4' up on cement blocks with a spigot and it runs thru the wall with a watering wand, that is the answer to my prayers! I was only watering the coco when the top would start to look slightly dry, but some I guess have auto drippers and the flood/drain them 2-3x a day! So decided to water them daily, actually, so now I spend a good 4-5 hrs a day there, way too labor intensive, so am looking into building flood tables out of plywood and just covering them with the white side of panda film up..that will help with light reflectivity as an added bonus and then I can recirc nutes and not be so wasteful, I hate flushing all those nutes onto the cement floor!! I'm thinking of 4 6x4 tables, cram 45 in there and just start only letting them get 14-16" before flipping, then I can actually try sog or scrog..so much to learn, so little time, lol..better yet, 10 per table, and keep my 5 best strains as mums..then I can keep them, I will always grow the Buddha now, just love her in every way, so easy to grow, even I CAN do it well!
Thanks so much for your comments, guys!!
