Has anyone used the water valves that go into the bases and supposed to keep the reservoir full?
I was looking at getting them and attaching it to a 6 gallon bucket. But I've heard very mixed reviews.
I know the ladies could benefit in flower when they are drinking a gallon a day. But, do they work or do they suck?
Here is my cooked Ztrawberriez from fastbuds. She's 80 days today and is still trying. I flushed her about 5 days ago and the soil is still moist. The buds are not fried. I have been trimming as I go.
Thoughts on if she could make it another week?

She's running out of leaves and still has more to go.
We need more power, Scotty!
After 68 days my Fastbuds Papaya Cookies has been cut. They are very dense and good size, frosty buds. As you can see, some of the stems couldn't hold the weight and I had to semi wire them up.
​
One of the better grows since I started stripping the lower 3rd of the plant. I'll give the dry weight in about 10 days.
She battled a few lockouts and deficiency due to my ph pen screwing up after one use of recalibration. (The other is worse).
​
She's 64 days old, Papaya Cookies from fastbuds. As you can see many of the sugar leaves are being hit hard for the past week or two.
​
I was going start trimming out the yellow ones and try to make her go another week, or are there other options?
I would love to have a ring that can monitor glucose, for us diabetics.
My papaya Cookies by Fastbuds is showing some pretty tricomes! The infamous two weeks left!
Fastbuds Papaya Cookies and Ztrawberriez at 8 weeks.
Still battling a PK and CalMag on the Ztrawberriez and PK on the Papaya Cookies. The PC is showing pistels changing over, the Ztrawberriez is overwhelming in white. The Ztrawberriez main cola is getting massive.
7 week update of Ztrawberriez on the left and Papaya Cookies on the right.
The Ztrawberriez had been accidentally topped and the PC was slightly LST trained.
Both ladies doing well. Removed some additional blooms that were small and at the bottoms.
Left is Fastbuds Papaya Cookies and on the right is Fastbuds Ztrawberriez.
This week I trimmed and pruned on the bottom third on both plants. The tallest point of each plant is 18"
Fastbuds Papaya Cookies and Ztrawberriez are well into flower. The stretch appears over. The past two days I did a lot of defoliation and pruning. I haven't been this aggressive with the trimming, so I threw caution to the wind. Ec was very low so I dosed them with a strong watering.
My ladies are really starting the stretch in the past 3 days. The left has some LST done, the right accidentally was topped when doing the last. They are 38 days old.
I am still trying to master the art of stripping the lower parts, but just can't get the timing right. I usually will start trimming out the low fan leaves to improve circulation. But as far as cutting out the future popcorn buds and small stems, I'm not sure when.
Suggestions much appreciated. These are fastbuds Ztrawberriez and Papaya Cookies.
Day 28, still looking good. The height is about 9" for both.
I top dressed with Dr. Earth around day 22. EPC was a little low, so I added some lotus grow and CalMag to give them a quick boost. Next update will be in full flower mode.
Just a quick update on the Fastbuds growth. One LST, one HST.
I haven't been here in a looooong time. What features will the gen 3 have over the gen2
Ok, so I was doing LST on my Fastbudz Ztrawberriez and, snap went the cola. So, I just said I topped it. Thoughts?
