I water from the top but I stick my finger down in there to see how wet they are. After a while you get the feel of it and water on a schedule but I always do the finger test before I water. After watering the top dries out in several hours which keeps gnats out.
Next time I buy smart pots Ill get 10gal.

The guessing about when to water doesn't apply to water pharming and I do like that but I could grow in dirt so depends on the situation I land in .-- I like it when everything is on timers and all U really gotta do is have a decent nute formula --keep your res topped off and pH -- ( once a week worked for me )-- DWC use too much nute water -- So water for me will be some form of spraying or dripping that will return to the res !-- My biggest problem was growing a whole cycle in those 2 inch aero baskets -- They fall over when they get top heavy -- That will be my major change -- Going to make 6 inch pots with some baked clay balls or something similar to add some weight to the base to stablize the plant -- Then I can grow them bigger --- Flip them at about 18 inches or bigger after being bushed some .

It was a good day !-- I stayed high as I wanted -- Got some stuff done but most rewarding was my new found skill as a troll-- I pissed a whole bunch of people off today and it felt good !

Gmorning OFs. Nice n sunny here at -12ºC. Gonna be a great day in the woods !

 

[oldfogey8]

anyone else go thru fans like disposable lighters? i think i buy new circulating fans every couple of grows. the ones i buy either die or get really noisy. kinda irritates me...

 

[mrcane]

Good morning OFC. . Cloudy with a chance of sunshine here, bout 39*
Yep Oldfogey regular household fans do not hold up very well running 24/7

 

[Keef]

Morning O.F.C.!- Sorry I'm running late -- Overcast and humid at the beach low 70s -- Another toke or 2 and another cup of coffee I might live !-- My face still messing with me some -- Weather should clear up tommorrow and it'll be better !-- I think it will rain soon --

Good morning OFC. I started buying fans from tractor supply and not Home Depot and they last 5x longer

 

[Keef]

I feel better about fans now -- I thought it just me being rough on chit like I usually am -- Not on purpose -- They start making too much noise I take them out back and spray the vanes off good let them dry then bring them back in -- They cheap -- I got no problem replacing them twice a year or when they break ! -- I have a bigger grow I'll get better fans !--

OF -- How's the tooth doing ?-- Still having that vertigo ?

 

[oldfogey8]

thanks for asking @Keef . teeth are a bit better. still a bit of swelling. probably wind up getting them pulled unfortunately. too old to get a dental appliance. throwing good money after bad. vertigo is still bad. ran into a friend i used to walk my dog with yesterday who has had vertigo. his was an inner ear thing and he went to a specialist that did an extreme form of the epley maneuver. has to get it done every spring apparently. my e.n.t. doc says my vertigo is not related to my ears, nose or throat. wondering if it is related to the combo of being on blood thinners and b/p meds. the antibiotics screw with the inr of my blood(makes it really thin) and yesterday the dizzy was more extreme than what it has been. gotta get the pt/inr test to see where my blood is but i backed off to a have dose of the new b/p med and i feel better today than i did yesterday. the real pain is i don't feel like getting a buzz when i feel like this. it makes it less than enjoyable. been cannabis free for a few days...

thanks @umbra - i will see what they have for fans at tractor supply. i have bought mine in the past from htg supply, walmart and home depot and all of them are junk.

When I first started on BP meds, I would get dizzy if I stood up too quickly. I started taking meds at night before going to bed rather than when I first get up in the morning and have not had any issues since.

 

[oldfogey8]

i get dizzier if i stand up too quickly but am dizzy all the time. the nurse practitioner i saw that first prescribed the b/p meds recommended taking them at night so i do that as well. the newest stuff i am on i think is too strong. my b/p is running 117/75 and lower when i take a full dose so i am splitting the pill in half. the drug comes in 2.5,5,10,20,40 and 80 mg. i was prescribed 20's. i think 10 might be a better fit for me.

 

[Rosebud]

Good morning all,
Of, i hope that ends for you soon, i hated that. We smoked a turkey breast for our daughter yesterday, turned out really good. I am wanting to get christmas out of here and tidy up a bit. I am still enjoying the mamacita sativa.
My babies are up and doing ok for little tiny seedlings.
I buy a fan everytime i see one on sale or at a flea market. I have one in the bathtub that oscillates.
You guys have a good day.

Vertigo is probably caused by the chemical soup !-- In the OR we used heprin as a blood thinning sometime --They had me on B/P meds -- It was running borderline high -- Once I started taking caps regular it dropped and I had to quit taking them -- I am capable of taking an acurate B/P --
I think my high BP was because of pain -- I've tracked it --If I take caps regular it runs about in the normal range -- If I'm hurting my BP goes up !-- I stand up fast especially when I'm high I get dizzy -- It's called postural hypo -tension -- U stand up and the blood pressure in your head drops as because U stood up !-- Makes U dizzy !-- Sitting down and been smoking and feel high then stand up and it'll double team U !--
OF it probably wouldn't hurt to take an edible !

 

[St_Nick]

Hey folks. Hope everyone had a good Christmas. I'm on the fence between Umbra and bliss. Half my family is awesome to be around and half are drama and stress incarnate. I visited 'em all in 3 days and glad its over for another year. On another note, V8 ford trucks from the 80's get horrendous gas mileage. I actually got 82 miles between fuel stops one time. It may be for sale soon.

 

[Keef]

Pull up a chair and get comfortable Nick !-- I already decided I ain't doing chit today !-- Except stay high !

 

[Keef]

Texas Congress will convene in a week or so -- They'll be in session until about the end of April -- Will they amend our useless mmj law ? -- I expect them to expand mmj -- I don't even know what to expect if they do open it up some !-- So I'll roll with the changes !-- I never smoked a legal joint -- I'm hoping that will change this year !

 

[St_Nick]

I am doin' absolutely nuttin' t'day. I am sitting in front of the tube watchin' movies and smoking doobies again! Life is better then before so thats good,,,, right?

 

[Keef]

That's good Nick !- - Had to be a big relief to have those charges reduced !-- I really can't think of a better Christmas present !-- Except walking away clean but that would be hoping for a little too much !-- Especially after busting up your chit !-- That ain't right !-- They need to quit doing that !
They bring U in and make U watch the destruction in Texas !--
