Google Orbit 54190N Sprinkler Head, 1/2 in Connection, FNPT, 20 ft, Plastic Like $3.49 each - I suggest getting like a dozen to justify shipping. You'll need them. Maybe available locally! Google zinc sprinkler spike base Same, or cheaper, possibly from same warehouse. Maybe Home Depot! 1 - 10-foot pvc pipe at Home Depot, cut into thirds (one 3.33' piece for each sprinkler you will ever have to make); One fitting to go onto each end of the pipe that has 1/2-inch NPT thread on one end and is slip-onto the 1/2" PVC pipe on the other - they're like 50 cents! PVC Primer and PVC glue - Each about 4-5 bucks and your Home Depot guy can explain the TACKtics. Ha Ha I had typed out about a 4-minute read all about this butt YT would not accept links in my case and then I accidentally deleted it. Sigh. You need to water X 1000!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 Create a Whizzer sprinkler and feed it H20 to EACH plant for like 20 minutes+ at about... well, soaked well...several times a week. You have no watering system in place and it'll be a drag when they are 40 X 30 feet. No wind protection. Little water/container/(in some's) care will result in a little plant. You have the CARE down. DRY, windy conditions, always and your plants are like solar evaporators. What is your MG formula? Forget that hose-end, variable-concentration method. Yellowing from nutrients being sucked outta the previous growth to feed the new growth. Worry about the entire plant. Don't be happy with the bare minimum you get. MG/W/MG/W/MG/W, etc. you choose the break days (2, 3) at the regular, 1 TBSP per gallon H2O dosage, and you NEED to get a 55-gallon barrel(s) to feed this from. I use 24-8-16 presently. And a pump. Have you ever seen a top grower with no drip lines nor overhead sprinklers...? Google that barrel>>>They can be had for 20 bucks, I see! I should order...No, I have 2 for free from a neighbor. PS---Don't Stop The Ferts! Fertilize right AFTER a rainy day. If NOTHING else, get an oscillating, sweeping sprinkler and keep it on, massively. Whizzers are SO much more fun!!! MY main problem, year after year, is that I start everything too late, OR if on time, problems arise! I need to invest in ALL these supplies, with my newly-limited water supply. Sigh. Later---unohoo---pp

I actually do have two impact sprinklers on a timer with solenoid valve and a pump with relay (since the patch is a far cry from the house). I just haven't set them up yet in the patch. I've had the timer thing on the other side of the garden. The setup you're describing is exactly what I'm putting into place within the next week or so with Master Blend fertilizer once the fruits set. I'm getting a barrel from a family friend for free and have a mixer siphon coming tomorrow. I'm going to mix the MB in at 12x. The siphon is 16:1 but I've been told that if I go the full 16 there's a possiblity of clogging the siphon tube. It works out that they actually need 26 minutes of the sprinkler (at least) every day to get the right amount of water. Right now I'm just soaking the ground around the plant with my hose. But yes, the plants are getting bigger and it's almost time to set up the sprinkler rig. I should point out that the way that our soil looks on the top doesn't tell the whole story. Sometimes the soil will look very dry but if I stick my meter in the ground, it will say that the soil is WET. You can water a bunch in the morning, but by afternoon the top of the soil looks like a desert. That's just how it goes here. There's also a number of insecticides/fungicides that I'm using. I just haven't talked about any of that stuff on the videos because most other growers have an even more sophisticated setup than I do.

I'd hafta say that the oldest leaves are probably the most beneficial to the plant, although I do not know for sure; There has to be a point at which they stop using resources to develop and begin to 'give back'; A lot of things in life relate to others in life in a different form or circumstance, I am sure. I'm growing giant-headed sunflowers and see right next to one a weed that has the SAME height, same leaf pattern and so forth and yet I wanna pull the weed, but the SF is SO desirable, lol. Anyway, I get a kick out of the giant leaves that form at the ends of terminated vines. You are correct in thinking to pinch off a vine whenever you want to by doing so to the 'elbow' or growing tip only, leaving one giant leaf-to-be and IIIIIIIIIIIIIII always take out the tendril, sec or tert vine shoot and any flowers at that point as well - also doing this to the next 2 or 3 'assemblies' up the vine as well, to make them think twice about taking off on me also, lol. eg 🎃

Another thing is that once you get a full-sized piece of plywood or whatever, you can then early-on either drill massive holes in it or corner cuts or anything really 2 enable U to pull (or push!) on the pumpkin's final resting place. That is if it's a better fit than moving it on the sand, butt you have come up with a great idea. I do not believe that letting the PLANT grow to fill in space is the thing to do at the moment.

@steves_garage11 ай бұрын
You can do either. A lot of growers like to cross pollinate between two well known seeds and some will actually grow certain seeds ONLY to use as a pollinator. I however did not do that because I had this one plant so this one was pollinated with its own males.

i recommend using anything with high nitrogen and phosphorus, like egg shells along with bone meal, shrimp or crab shells and skins, burnt cucumbers, or rotten mushrooms. put these in your soil and that pumpkin will get HUGE. Just MAKE SURE you rotate it back and forth and try to keep it off the ground after it sprouts to reduce the chance of it rotting before harvest. Last year we had 4 that were over 40 lbs and took 6 months before they started to rot. GOOD LUCK.

@@steves_garage absolutely! & even though it’s my first year I definitely want to see some fruit 😆 I’ve worked too hard ! I did however just find out that you can pollinate your tomatoes 🍅 as well !!! I was shocked but yes, you can to be sure Learning new things everyday !
Good luck Steve… there’s nothing like waking up to a new PB everyday!!…stem stress management will become important this week. Also daily stump checks. Problems start as very small soft spots.
Yep gotta pick up another pool noodle tomorrow!
I was just thinking that. Thought it was camera distortion. Lol. I like it tho. Nice swing in row. Looks kewl
I was just wondering about the guy and stumbled upon your video. It seems like youtube was getting too stressful for him towards the end imo. Did you ever get an update?
Nope I've not seen any sign of him in years. Hope he's doing ok.
Don’t forget your “s-curves” on your chosen fruit. Small movements every day…Keep up the good work.
You know I'm actually not wholly clear on the S curve thing. I think I need a zoomed out overhead drawing of what that would be and why it is a good idea. I've read Cecil Westin's article on that but I must be dense and couldn't quite understand it.
Interesting sound effects. Cannot say I've made them in particular. They're all you, lol - I laughed outright. Still am. (If you can think it, Steve will say it, lol---) Great job on the plants; I may have quantity but you've got quality in the layout and variety, fer sherr. Sorry about your boy's boo-boo, lol😵💫---eg---🎃
Thanks! Yeah my son was fine he just hit his knee with a lego piece or something. My wife was with him.
This was a brilliant moment! I didn’t think you had it in you to kick her tail on the first try! But boy you proved me wrong!
Aw thanks! It helps to know where the BS in the fight is.
Screw Code Veronica. "NICE JAZZY DRUM CHOPS BROTHA!"
Nice. With that red powder you should do a "last to leave circle does not get culled" to see which plant is the strongest!
One of the most relaxing songs I’ve heard in the whole game!
That level was so calming. Except for the eel
i recommend using anything with high nitrogen and phosphorus, like egg shells along with bone meal, shrimp or crab shells and skins, burnt cucumbers, or rotten mushrooms. put these in your soil and that pumpkin will get HUGE. Just MAKE SURE you rotate it back and forth and try to keep it off the ground after it sprouts to reduce the chance of it rotting before harvest. Last year we had 4 that were over 40 lbs and took 6 months before they started to rot. GOOD LUCK.
50 days from now you’ll be worried about pollination and won’t think anything of those first couple leaves, good luck and keep posting!
Nice to have an encouraging comment...haha. Thanks!
We waiting for why sf6 sucks video
Im rebuilding my 7237-1 police station and im going to use the parts from a command post central station set except for the vehicles and hope i find another green window piece at bricks & minifigs. And im also going to make the jail the same color as the one in your set
Hey, I know this came out a year ago, but I thought I'd ask anyway. This was great to get the audio set up, but how do you make it so there can be a personalized message that appears in the chat with the audio?
Hmm...there may be an option to do that when setting up the sound fx. Not sure as I've never tried that!
Love the vids Steve!!!!!!
Nice video be fun to watch along this year best of luck
