[Dequilo]

of 6600k strip lights

running it at 880 watts with 408 ppfd at the plant @ 4900k

12 plants feminized 3 Durban Poison, 2 Lava Cake x Pressure and 7 Devil's Punch

a Devil's Punch on 2/25/2024

very nice looking plants

Lava Cake x Pressure looking better they got off to a rough start

3 Durban Poison Feminized

Damn friend, you remind me of the old days. Except we didn't have LEDs back then. Thanks for posting.

I think its a little funny he has a seed popping addiction. May have to encourage him to pop much more so he has more to give away . Just kidding neighbor!

 

[Dequilo]

Damn friend, you remind me of the old days

Old Guy started working inside January 2001 joined Over Grow and off to the races

Except we didn't have LEDs back then.

just started using them last Spring and was hating them did some research and learned

how to use them correctly

they indeed grow the weed

Thanks for posting.

anytime getting back into it after a break from growing time to get back to work

all the best and be safe

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

View attachment 18819006

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 southern NY, I had a seed randomly pop out of a bucket last summer , also never saw a minute indoor just like yours.

Check it out

The key in this climate is to just grow more than you need and expect to lose some. Probably a good idea no matter where you’re at. In the past 21 years I’ve done a lot of outdoor and greenhouse here, best years have been by vegging big plants indoors over the winter and putting out early in the greenhouse for a spring crop and then later a fall crop, using light deprivation to get the fall crop in before the cold and wet.

That random seed plant in the pics was pulled 3rd week of October, lost maybe 25% of it to rot and caterpillars but still pulled a good amount.

Hi other neighbor !

 

[Zomboy]

The PM is such a pain in the ass by me. Hard to manage

PM is such a pain in the ass

potassium bicarbonate works pretty well to kill it and control it

Thanks i’ll give it a try. I was using Growsafe last season which worked but had to apply it too often

Today is 2/29/2024

yesterday afternoon here at around six o'clock the wind started blowing at between

45 and 60 MPH and snowing to beat the band

by 9 pm we lost power until 2 am my lights go out at 10 pm and come back on a 4 am

so the room was around 82 and well insulated a few hours without heat is not going to kill the Weed

but the power going on and off killed the STC 1000 controller I was using as a thermostat

it got a touch cold in the room but the almost 1000 watts of LEDs when they came on warmed

the room back up so it was all good

I live on the top of the Mohawk river valley at 1150 feet and the wind blows

here all but 3 or 4 days a year

but not a sixty

of course I just took my backup generator in to be serviced, piss poor timing

all the best and grow well

Yes sir ! Yesterday with the kids during snow day - 36 hours earlier I was in T shirt & shorts, which I’ll be in again in a couple days - quite nice today now too, low 50’s

Today is 3/2/2024 these photos are from the last few days

the shelves ares too small so everything is now on tables, I am running 5 - 2 foot x 4 foot

light arrays that can be ran at 320 watts each

I have three over a 4 foot x 8 foot table running at 175 watts each for a total of 525 watts

and two over a 4 foot by 4 foot table running at 225 watts each for a total of 450 watts

what is nice this time of year the lights will heat the room

would rather pay for KWHr to run lights not a heater

things got trimmed an spread out as it is time to get growing

starting to come back after the trim looking for nice bushes

feminized Durban Poison feeling some pain plain water getting it back on track

may make some f2s with these plants Blue Mountain

wow!..what a nice surprise!

great to see you my Brother!..

so to keep the Blah Blah Blah here I will quote you in my grow thread

after PG fell by the wayside the Cabana was great I posted at Toke City to talk with Butcher Bob

and look at Glass

I stopped growing for about five years had a neighbor from hell move here, I wanted to set them on fire

but my wife frowned upon it

so I brewed beer for while for something to do, told my wife it was better than cooking

Meth

2022 my third year outside since 1995 and fifth year back to growing the neighbor died of breast cancer

2019

I have a Medical and can have 6 so I put outside 70 just encase we have bad weather this is New York

I did have 30 Autos out but I did not count them with the 70 as they finish way early and after

the 99 it gets different

did say I have a shit ton of plants ?

8/11/2022

all gone on 8/22/2022 the six police cars and helicopter thought 70 was a few too many go figure

no one in jail, harvested my Autos

and life goes with in and without you

so outside with my six that Aunt Kathy says is OK

all the best and great to see you my friend

hot damn , I am all caught up now!…what a trip it has been!

I was modding at the Cabana when schitt went south…it started between Dman and Muggles

long story short , Dman went off the rails and banned Muggles and then wiped all the posts where they were arguing

ya just can’t ban a Moderator , let alone one of the founders of the Cabana , not at least without a fair trial with the other Mods

so when I realized that the Mods really had zero authority and Dman showed himself to be the power tripping insecure dictator , i said fvck this , deleted every post and Thread I ever said a word in and I left…around 5 years ago

that place went in the shitter and just recently went public and in are heading in another entirely different direction from the old place….

i have shook the dust off and not looking back


we been doing a little gardening , a few random photos from 2022

 

[Dequilo]

Love your work my friend glad to see you are still at it

when Planet Ganja went south I back away from forums for a bit

posted at the new OverGrow but moved on

it is tough my friend for me it is all about growing and sharing what we have learned

if you grow 1 plant or 100 you are a grower because you grow

I am looking forward to a great year, I will be build some sort of greenhouse

all the best and glad you are well
