Hi folks, Updating! Everything has grown. I pruned to even things out and have been defoliating. I’ll switch the photoperiod at the turn of the month.

The irrigation system is working. I refill it every 2 days because the reservoir is small, but it already saves me a lot of work.

I bought a plastic fuel pump style nozzle to use for occasional manual watering, but overall everything is automated. On the left are the old mother plants, I’m going to flower them all and replace them with smaller, better trained mothers.

My reservoir holds about 45 liters. I use two 2000 L/h pumps, one recirculates with a venturi to oxygenate, it runs 24/7, and the other is for watering, on a timer, 10 minutes 4 times a day. That green Y lets me choose whether the pump sends water to the automatic irrigation or to a hose for manual watering. It turned out very functional and simple, as well as inexpensive.

That’s it for today, folks, cheers!
