EASIEST WAY TO MAINTAIN GROW WITH A 9-5

[LadySoil]

Hello AFN,

I just had a quick question about maintaining grow while working a full time job.

As a new grower I became skeptical and also had thoughts about growing when I return back to work. But honestly this is my forever passion and I wont let a 9-5 stop me so I just need some advice on what are some of you guys ways of doing this if you also work?
Please help this amateur out!!! :smoking: Happy growing!!

Without getting into hydro etc, I would reverse the day-night, where your plant is sleeping while you work, less chances of things going wrong when you are not there.

Agree with Talon, I had my plants sleep from 6a-2p while I worked and it kept my personal schedule flexible. I prefer to wait 2 hours minimum before I feed so it worked out that they ate right after I did haha. But the key is them being awake when you’re home in my opinion. Good luck man!

Thanks bro!! And I will consider doing this since I work from 7:30-4 so that’s perfect time for sleep

Irrigation system has never hurt anyone. Auto pots, easy valve, blumats, etc. Irrigation isn't limited to hydroponic applications.

i have my light off most of the day when I’m out and I do organics so I just really water and top dress here and there

I work generally 7-6, 6 days a week. Automated watering and a daily shopvac for drainage is where I'm at currently. I do a daily 30sec shopvac and fill the rez once a week. I think living soil is by far the least time sensitive and most forgiving way I've tried so far

If the question is what is the easiest (least time-intensive) system, I would think Autopots with a water-only organic soil grow. Fair warning: I have no experience with this type of system yet (Autopots, los, but not the two together) but will be starting one soon. IMHO, YMMV, etc.
