[Deft]

I'll get some 2 pounder for next year I think, I have a lot to do this year already.

Wtf is April 6th? I don't understand??

 

[Highlighter]

An auspicious date to plant seeds. :wink:

im also a nor'easterner attempting the guerilla grow op...so far ill be running mdanzigs blueberry , somas green godess and some mist of destruction kali most. ill also have some of planet b's bog bubble ready to be cloned from a female plant which ill want to run outdoors, and some clones off my kalichakra female as well. i also have a nice looking indica/sativa hybrid form bagseed called pearl running and ill want to clone that and run it outdoors as well. i do want to get reefermans g-sus (airborne g13 x godbud) and cross it with soma's green godess... what should i name the progeny? lol i doubt ill do this... but it wold be cool to have both strains and compare the two godly highs...

i also am running one plant which seems rather sativa... its been flowering for over 40 days now and shows a few female hairs... i ran many plants in cups that i forgot the labels too... i have a feeling this plant will be the t.haze x sk1 from sam that i got as a freebie.... ive lst'ed the shit out of it and hope to get some decent buds after a long flower period... i dont think itll be possible to run this outside in the northeast with a 4 month+ flower time.... so ill most liekly not run this nemore and replace it with some rez' dsd

April 6th is too early for me. Still damn cold out, there aren't even any buds on trees yet here

 

[donutsandwich]

yeah def way too cold still... 40-50 degrees where i am... and snow in the night??!? wtf?? damn weather fluctuations

 

[Highlighter]

Well, if you want 'em big, you gotta start them indoors early. All there is to it.

[CC Rider]

[Buddle]

Well, if you want 'em big, you gotta start them indoors early. All there is to it.

So, the plants I've had in veg since November should do the trick??

 

[Jochsmokes]

I've been wondering about this is there such a thing as vegging to long??
and what is the height/age most of you shoot for? I started some afgani/super skunk seeds in december just for fun and there already 2 1/2 to 3 ft tall already and i can't plant till may anyway is that too old? i do have a nice coldframe so climatizing shouldn't be a problem thanx for any suggestions

 

[bluebuds]

jochsmokes with your plants being 5 months old when you plant them outdoor they will mostlikely just start flowering. i start mine for at least a month but theyy are still young, so they show sex, then go back to veg till about mid august when they start flowering again. depending on how light sensative that strain is it may go back to veg after a short preflower but either way starting with a 3 to 4 foot plant your yeild should be pretty good if they jump right to flower. geez hope that makes sense, -bluebuds

 

[Deft]

A foot tall plant is great if you can get them to the site easy, the larger they are the better the chance they will survive.

 

[Jochsmokes]

bluebuds-thank you and yes that makes sense so even your month old plants will start to flower? does this stunt their growth long?
another thing i was curious about was i leave my plants in a big picture window by day and under the cfls@ night will this have a negative affect switching light sources daily they seem fine but i don't want to stress them.
sorry so many questions everyone i'm so excited to find a new england site on here and this my first year indoor and second year out kinda see overwatered, over ferted and poor strain=1/8 lol but haveing found a useful hobby(this site) for myself keeps me from over loving my plants haha you know what i mean!

 

[Jochsmokes]

Where did everyone go?



this last batch of snow have everyone else bummed too?
my seedlings are competeing for light with the snow outside my window!!

[hempybucquet]

Where did everyone go?
(

Major melt day today, spring is in the air!

Trying my first indoor grow and its got the fever going.

Time to start scheming this years outdoor op.

MELT FER THE LOVE OF GOD!

 

[Jochsmokes]

yeah i'm going snowshoeing tommrow to scout a couple more spots if things look good enough i'll throw some pro-mix in a sled and drag them in easier than lugging them for sure! and your tracks don't last long this time of year

 

[hempybucquet]

Deer are going to be a bigger problem then humans this year! The woods are loaded with them, been a rough year for them & they are hungry.

Might have to plant a bit later this year so that they have a chance to fill their bellies with something other then my seedlings!
