@JaneQP We’ll find out, I do hate to water and this would give me a couple of days between water. Also make it easy to check my ECC and PH. Did you click on the “How to Build” link? Cat
Has anyone ever had a plant that looked real healthy but refused to grow? This girl was dunked around the middle of March and has been in the bluehouse bucket until I took her out a couple of weeks ago. She’s 8 weeks old and 2-3" tall, this rate she might make 1’ by Christmas. I don’t want to call her a midget I feel she just want to be called a little plant. 
Her sister is a Durban Poison and she is over 24" and starting to bud(she is a auto flower) and the little OGKush is just Feminized.

She must have heard I was concerned, what a difference a couple of days make. She’s OGKush
These girls are Zkittles, seeds from ILGM thanks Robert.
This girl has a sister inside Mancave she’s Durban Poison

Did the BOGO Zkittles so far everything is outstanding, I hope this one makes it, she acted like she was stretching and when I went to transplant she fell over, roots were very healthy and almost root bound. I buried her deep. If you scroll up this is the plant with the support, you can see how deep I buried her.

She looks better than when I first transplanted her 5 hours later.
Been having a disagreement with the outside kitties, I say it’s a raised bed for my tomatoes, they say it’s a toilet. So far I win. I had to put up some plastic mesh and while I was at it I installed a hillbilly irrigation system, works great.

Never have two many Green houses, got one wall up.
Plans are to cut out Catio wall and put in a screen door.

Been a week since I finished this bucket system, I like it a lot. I think I’ll make some more. Soil stays just right.
I think if I wanted to take a week I could fill it and take off and not worry about her drying out. We’ll see what happens when she buds.

I am impressed! I wish I had a greenhouse. For now at least I have a locked enclosure.

@JaneQP found the wood to finish the third wall, I find it at new house builds, I ask if I can go through their scrap. So far I have around $15 in it. and thats 6 broken bags of drainage stone 1/2 price at Lowes. Bases came from a fence build. The rest is scrap.

@W.B.elpaso I have some 27gl. totes I think I’m going to try. This little 5gl. bucket works great. I like the fact that when I feed my runoff is handy. Cat.

As a grower, i think we try any advantage we can get. Simple diy is the way for me. I love utube.
