Lately the strains I vape get me high way before I finish the load.

I grabbed a jar that I hadn't opened for a week and I'm vaping, thinking I didn't pack the bowl well. Finished it and still nothing.

I was loading another bowl when

Eventually remembered Death Bubba is a creeper...

Yup, been there. Decent strain for sleep though, at least the one sample I tried from a dispensary was.

I was looking at FloraCaps. Much easier to manage two lines than multiple drippers, I just have to figure out which one will fit over a 6" basket lid without spilling over.

I like the drip/hydroton's performance but I'm going to use coco for some of my seeds, simply because the bulk of my system limits me to 3 plants. Plus pots and bags are easy to move around. Ie the Strawberry Nuggets are small plants and I could manage 5 or 6 pots in the 3×3.

When I do I'll pick up some frass and other amendments.

I use the floracaps and like them. If you get the stiff ones with the large diameter collar around the nute input containment, they will work on a large range of pot sizes. I feed each cap with one 1/4" od tube (the standard sized stuff) split into two at the plant and going to two open tubes anchored on opposite sides of the input containment. It works a treat for me.

By the way, if you are growing in coco, IMO, you are better off with salt nutes, organic can be hard to manage in coco. I now use Jack's 321, but two part Megacrop is a decent alternative. Coco with top watered salt nutes produces very well for me, better than anything else I have tried, and it is scalable, it works pretty much as well in solos or anything up to 5 gallon pots (likely larger, I haven't tried that). I get the best results with at least 6-8 fertigations per day once the plants get rocking. Coco has to be kept wet for the best results, hand watering gets really old, and is bloody inconvenient to do often enough.

I now grow my big girls in pots about 1 gallon as I recall, and they produce big plants, often over 200 grams dry, and they are dead easy to move for trimming which I like to do while sitting comfortably with the plant on a table in front of me rather than leaning into a 4x4 trying to do the job inside out and backwards. Different strokes eh, there are a lot of ways to grow weed.

Morning Kittens and Frank
Well, back in hospital, had heart issue last night on top of everything else. They taking good care trying to figure out what's going on, unlike the other hospital which kept me overnight and sent me home with antibiotics. DiL and her boyfriend are going to declutter my room to make it easier on me to move around. Will have to tell them where to store lights, tent gear etc. so I can set back up later in the year. Probably only going to be able to handle 3 or 4 plants.
Hope you all's day is going great.

Im cool.. ya but imma have to start doing something cuz we broke. Just have to deal with them cancelling the insurance . When i went to the orthopedic this week and I asked her when I could get back to work she looked at me like I was an idiot so theyre not gonna clear me and they're not going to give me disability, at least not anytime soon, so I started making some calls to some people tryna find some work

Have you thought about starting your own business? Become more of a contractor and hire someone to do the actual work. May not make as much at the start, but not as physical either. Start as side hustle till you get the funds to get a listened/insured etc. You know what you are doin which is more than I can say for the majority of liscened peeps...bunch of f'n hacks!!!

Also, any way to work for the guy you were before? Maybe checking jobs out and doing estimates etc? Running crews or people to job sites and inspecting their work? If not the last guy you were working for, but sure there are plenty of larger/medium sized companies that would have positions like that
