The rez is a pain in the ass. We were using a watering wand but it is so slow. I just use a hose to fill gallon jugs and water from there. Wish we had some sort of drip feeder or something every night. I'm getting sick and tired of emptying the saucers under the plants everyday....here I go complaining again....
Anyway...Anything you think I should change or add?

First off, I would like to say (with the limited knowledge that I have) that I would love to be in your shoes! Not only because I'm a raging pothead but because of all the people that could benefit from that op you got. It's inspiring and makes me all warm and gooey inside, lol.
Attitude is everything and candid videotaping makes it transparent. What is it that you want to show your audience? Fundamentally, you are broadcasting to the world and if you want recognition for your achievements, or to be taken seriously, or gain people's respect, etc. then some planning should be accounted for. Video, film, and motion pictures in general fall within the realm of art, and therefore have principles, elements, and guiding factors that when utilized appropriately, people will come to appreciate either consciously or subconsciously. My major has a strong focus in cinematography, so I feel I can provide some insight but it's only my unprofessional personal suggestion.
Pretty sure you know who your audience is: potheads, hobbyists, growers both experienced and novice, web lurkers, etc. Think about what they want to see and what you could teach them. Don't assume everyone has the know-all and resources you have/had. By broadcasting/publishing, you become a resource for someone else, thereby attaining certain responsibilities for the spread of accurate and useful knowledge.
Your camera produces a pretty clear image. However, you might want to invest in a tripod- it makes quality recording that much easier. Shakiness from handheld/walking the camera provides a severe impediment on the route from what your recorded subject is, to the attention of your audience. Your subjects are plants and the setup, which are relatively stationary, thus providing you with the cinematic advantage of multiple vantage points. There's no need to walk the camera back and forth over the plants. Choose a spot, setup camera, take the shot, choose another spot, etc. You may consider [camera] movement for the sake of variation. If you invest in a tripod, you can execute pans and tilts, steady zooms, experiment with exposure and shutter speed, etc. There are 3 basic types of shots: close-up, medium shot, and wide-angle. Utilizing all of this and appropriately arranging it in a composition will get you the results you want. Hollywood directors to Avant-Garde filmmakers know that you will not get it all in one shot nor in one run. You will have to invest some time to learn magic and make it happen.
Also, to avoid the "sepia" look in your flower room you should try adjusting the white-balance. Most cameras have an indoor, outdoor, and auto/calibration option. In the yellow glow, hold something plain white, like an index card, in the camera's view and calibrate. That should normalize the color where the viewer can get a really good look at the beauts!
What you say should relate and even articulate what is being seen. Not that it doesn't already but you shouldn't have to worry about syncing that when initially recording. Get the video down and voice-over and/or incorporate text. Most importantly, know what you want to say. Know what you want to tell your audience.
Sorry this is so long, but I thought I might be able to help. I try to work in a pseudo-professional/avant-garde fashion, but if the video-journal composition works for you, then that's cool too.

Ok first off, no those aren't her boobs. I know they aren't because I've seen that exact gif in many places over the last 3-4 years. Stop asking everyone.
Secondly, make your channel better by showing your boobs.
Thirdly, I think just completing your grow and having great buds is all you should really be striving for

Of course it's happening inside your head.
