Outside Grower inside for the winter but outside soon in New York

[Dequilo]

needed somewhere to post the things I am working on and doing

I have switched for around 4800 watts of HIDs to 1900 watts of LEDs

I used Bridgelux Gen 2 strips some 2 foot and some 4 foot all in 3500k so I

can use them start to finish

built 7 lights to grow

Photos soon

I have been wanting to grow a Haze outside but being in Upstate New York

at 1250 feet my season is a bit short for 12 week flower time

so they need to be started now and taken out in flower to make it

I went with these two and planted 6 beans of each

Cuban Missile Crisis - Black Haze X (Old timer Haze x Tom hill haze)EQ Haze

Blizzard Of Oz - Blizzard Bush X EQ Haze

time to get growing

I'm in NY also outdoor is a bit rough here but it can be done. Sounds like a nice set up indoors I'm very interested to see how doing the haze partially indoor then finish outdoors works out for you I've been wanting to do the same with some Columbians and Thais I have. Anyways welcome and I'm plugged in and ready to see where this takes you and hopefully it brings you some beautiful hazes

 

[Dequilo]

Thank you for the reply we do have a rough season my falls are wet and cold

Durban Poison Feminized

Black Lotus x Zipolite Oaxaca

Blizzard of Oz I have six but only five fit

BlackBerry Space Wreck

Cuban Missile Crisis

Afghani x Lemon Haze

the six to go out

be happy in your work

When is it safe to put them outdoors in New York? Are you running your light hrs the same as an outdoor photoperiod?

 

[Dequilo]

When is it safe to put them outdoors in New York?

here upstate (42.8North) New York, May First is about the earliest

Are you running your light hrs the same as an outdoor photoperiod?

I have just gone for all MH/HPS HIDs to LEDs I am running them now at 16 Hrs on and 8 Hrs off

I do 4 pm to 10 am as it is winter and the lights heat the room over night

same in the summer easier to cold at night

before they go out I will back them down to 14 on and 10 off and run the lights during the day hours

to be closer to outside

Peace and Be Safe

at 1250 feet my season is a bit short for 12 week flower time

so to be sure we get buds I do have a few other plants to put in

our weather here can get bad a bad hail storm, high winds and no bud

a Black Alien MAC f2 (Black Domina/MAC x MACRIDDLE) x Runtz in a Hempy bucket to go outside

in the ground

these six plant are in 7 gallon pot and will be good and root bound when they go into the ground

Yes I have the same question when are you planning to put them out? Long days up there you still got the over 13 hours in the beginning of sept.lm contemplating something similar with highland Lou .I planning on starting them in a few weeks just under fluorescent and then outside starting in may sometime restricting light to about 12 hours. I'm at 40 degrees N in New Jersey

I live in CNY further upstate than you based on latitude mentioned - just @ 1300’ - This is Cambodian / Laos x Ohaze…. This plant came from a seed that volunteered itself and never saw a minute indoors it’s whole life… You can do it !

Pulled @ 5 elbows, tossed at least one of bottoms into compost pit

Harvested mid Nov, she saw a couple snow events, tough as nails !

PS: 2022 was an unusual and amazing year admittedly!

Stem in Feb 23 when I finally cut it all back down @3” diameter - looks like tree rings - haha, what a beast

I’m in a serious snow belt too (avg 200” / year); Can’t imagine your weather could be worse, on average…. Did I mention - You can do it buddy !

I'm in western ny, I haven't grown in the ground since the mid 70's, I might try some auto's here, I have a lot of light pollution from neighbors, worried about hermies for photo's

Harvested mid Nov, she saw a couple snow events, tough as nails !

I am looking for something that will take that I started grow 80 dollar a Kilo

Mexico Dirty Weed bag seeds back in 1974

stopped back 1995 as it got too hard to grow where i was growing as i did have any

property so I used the state park

I would drive from Northville NY to Old Forge NY and put 200 to 300 plants come back in the

fall get what you get did well for years

then it got to be I would have to grow three corps one for me, one for The Police and one for

The Ripper

too much work for my lazy stoner ass so I was going to fix with dynamite

wife thought that was a bad idea

stopped until 2001 joined Over Grow and started working inside, tried outside here for a coup,le

years 2010-2012 but had neighbor that was a security nightmare

stopped for 5 years and brewed beer as i need a hobby, for me idle hands are indeed

the Devil's playground

started back outside when she moved in 2020

my backyard

second season back outside 2021

had a bunch of hard budded indicas that did not like the wet cold falls here they would get

bud rot and gray mold before your very eyes

put them out with a Holy Goddess Male and made beans to work with

outside in 2021 making beans

This plant came from a seed that volunteered itself and never saw a minute indoors

I have some beans from plant that did it all by themselves male and female self seeded and

finish here, the female got frosted 3 time and grew on

maybe something good

from these plants

I live in CNY further upstate than you based on latitude mentioned - just @ 1300’

45 minute west of Albany southside of the Mohawk River top of the river valley

I get Utica's weather lake effect snow from Oneida lake

Pulled @ 5 elbows, tossed at least one of bottoms into compost pit

you got to just love that

I’m in a serious snow belt too (avg 200” / year); Can’t imagine your weather could be worse, on average…. Did I mention - You can do it buddy !

not quite as much as you, my falls just have been so wet and cold the stuff I liked and had worked

inside did not fair well at all

thanks for the words of encouragement

so than came the 2022 season and I was pump about being back outside and making beans

no 375 - 425 dollar US power bill for lights

use one of the top rated grow lights The Sun and G_d was paying the bill

so I went to work

I put most of my plants out between May First and the First week of June but just watch

the weather for frost

I bought my place in 1995 when i moved in here you could not put in a garden before

Memorial day or you would be replanting

so to work I put in big plants gives me a good start on the season

I am starting the season to grow out beans I made and try a bunch of new stuff to make some beans

with next season

I have no Math skills so counting to six for the limit does not happen

more Blah Blah Blah

06/03/2022 and so it begins

hit fast forward and we are at 07/07/2022

put in some Autos to try and they came down 07/14/2022 they were good

self seeded Auto from some beans I made the year before

now the patch is filling in it is amazing what 30 years of dumping Horse crap in your garden will

do for your plants

one more just to give you all an idea of patch I was looking at plans to build a trimming machine

or so I thought

 

[Dequilo]

my Grandma always said do not count your chickens before they are hatched

Life is good or so I thought get a call from my wife here at work saying there

is a helicopter with guns over my patch and 3 Sheriffs and 3 New State Troopers

car on the road outside my gates

Told her let them in and they can take whatever they need

so The Police chopped early and left me very little

The high points they stopped counting at 70 plants took out 6 four wheeler loads of plants

did not paper work and no one went to jail

so we grow on

Enjoy the day and be well

[flower~power]

Hey, I’m glad to see these pictures …Also is according to the weather reports we’re going to get hammered With snow

 

[Dequilo]

I might try some auto's here,

I did some outside put them in May First and chopped mid July

failed inside a couple of times with Autos

Mexican Airlins


the Auto smoke was very good but being a bud snob I was waiting to smoke the shit ton of different

photo bud i was going to harvest

so I made them into coconut oil

smoke a bit but made most of it into 1 3/4 gallons of oil


be safe and grow well

Autos are cool but they are really small. I'd give the photos a whirl ,providing that they can at least be in the shadow of your neighbor's lights .problems with hermaphrodites in my experience are rare outside

Coppers stealing your plants while head shops left & right selling flowers (no license to do so), some even shrooms too, both illegal of course… they stole them in 2022, or a different year? If 2022 damn bro, that’s just BS bad luck !

Beautiful area you’re growing in though, I like the setup… I’ve got an acre in middle huge neighborhood many prying eyes and eyes of HS kids… but it’s amazing what you can hide with proper site lines… but not from above

I’m b/w two hospitals and the Helicopter that rushes patients from the smaller to larger city flies directly over my house, I literally hear choppers every day overtop, luckily nobody gives a shit of course but that damn sound….

10-20” coming of the wet heavy storm stuff if you’re in the hills, you gents a bit east of me may get more here, normally the only times you do - NorthEasters

Peace & enjoy, kids & pops getting a snow day I can feel it coming

Autos are cool but they are really small. I'd give the photos a whirl ,providing that they can at least be in the shadow of your neighbor's lights .problems with hermaphrodites in my experience are rare outside

I’ve got a buddy with autos you wouldn’t believe he’s been breeding (lbs each) but in general I agree with both things you say ^, the POI on autos just isn’t up to snuff for me either…

I’ve seen people with grows directly under HID streetlights 30’ above & non issue… If the plant is always there, it acclimates and understands the variance b/w the Sun vs those lights and thus Day vs Night in most all cases I’ve seen & heard…

Peace

 

[piper]

I've only grown auto's once, it was a few years ago inside, they did well, better than expected, northern lights and critical +

 

[Dequilo]

Also is according to the weather reports we’re going to get hammered With snow

it is coming down in buckets of wet snow here

Autos are cool but they are really small.

I thought the same thing but outside they did well and if I put in a bit more effort

they would done better

I'd give the photos a whirl ,providing that they can at least be in the shadow of your neighbor's lights .problems with hermaphrodites in my experience are rare outside

worked at a Greenhouse that was getting their gas stolen first oil crisis, they put in a security light

on the end of a big old glass greenhouse

a 400 watt HPS dust to dawn at one end of a greenhouse full of Poinsettias, that did not go into flower

for Christmas

no one stole their gas

Coppers stealing your plants

waited longer and they would of all had buds

I’ve got a buddy with autos you wouldn’t believe he’s been breeding (lbs each)

with a bit of work the Mexican Airlines would have done huge and they were good

it has Oaxaca in it

they stole them in 2022

they sure did but no jail grow on I will I have thousands of beans

10-20” coming of the wet heavy storm stuff if you’re in the hills

that why I live here cheap taxes and no zoning

I’ve seen people with grows directly under HID streetlights 30’ above & non issue… If the plant is always there, it acclimates and understands the variance b/w the Sun vs those lights and thus Day vs Night in most all cases I’ve seen & heard…

that makes sense I am not sure how many Foot Candles of light it takes to keep them in veg

with a Sativa it does no matter

I've only grown auto's once, it was a few years ago inside, they did well

first ones I did inside transplanted them a couple three times and trimmed them

needless to say they did not like that at all

second ones put them in a 14 on 10 off grow room the got tall and yield nothing

then took the time to some read grow reports

go figure?
