Music and a padded seat! I can dig that. Gotta pad the ass and pass the time while you're working. There's something about music in the air that makes work not feel like work. Unless you're at work that is :) I like the idea of a long reach spout on the water can. That's very handy, a great idea, and something I don't see very often. 4 weeks into flower with a thick canopy can make getting to the container not so easy to say the least. +1 for the blue tooth speaker. Streaming tunes is nicer than listening to FM radio and the barrage of ads they hit you with every 3 songs.

Eh, unless you have a premium version of streaming, there is still a ton of ads lol

1. My BlueLab PH/PPM meter

2. Plastic horticulture trellis
- I used to use bamboo stakes and hand tie each cola and it was tedious work. Now I just set and forget. So much easier and less time consuming and supports way better.

3. ARS bonsai scissors
- I absolutely despise trimming, and these scissors make things a bit less worse. They are made in Japan and are extremely sharp. Much more comfortable than any other scissors I have used, much less hand fatigue than spring-style scissors. Only scissors I will use now.

Which model scissors did you get? I've been looking into getting a pair from either ARS or Chikamasa, but there are so many models to choose from, it's kinda intimidating

Green painter's tape, strong enough to temporarily hold things in place but doesn't leave residue when you take it off.
Paracord and hemp twine
Needle nose shears

Why do you need to use a blender to mix dry fertilizer? I've been using dry products for years. I just shake them up in a bottle with hot water. Takes a few seconds. Using a blender sounds like more of a hassle than anything.

An old fashioned three tined heavy wire rake/weed tool on a 5' pole. A mechanical hose timer. And brass quick release connectors with on off valves.

Indoors my almost adult son, who is an avid grower of anything but my flowers. But my favorite tool for water and mixing. He learns to grow his cukes and maters by learning how and why I do what I do. Most rewarding tool in my borrowed box.
