Today is 3/19/2024 I have been running my lights 18/6 with the lights running

during the day

I will be going to 14/10 for 3 days and start running my lights at night the days will get warm

easier to heat during the day and cool at night

I will probably give them 36 hours of darkness toward the weekend and put them on

12/12 for 3 or 4 days and see if that helps bring out the males

one of my Sweet Tooth # 4 is a female only 39 more plants to go we are getting

there another 43 days and plants in the ground WooHoo!!!

I will also let them dry out well appears the plant thinking it is going to die also

brings out the males

all the best and be safe

just set my timers to turn the lights on at 3 pm and off at 5 am for a

14 hour lights on

Saturday the lights will go out for 36 hour coming back on Sunday night at 5 pm

for 5 pm to 5 am 12/12 days

next Friday back to 14/10 3 pm to 5 am should have them sexed out

after that

need to get thing potted up and need room

be safe and grow well

I just gave that a thought as I saw alternating nodes on some of the GMOxs

I also believe I see a male on one of the Double Grape OG hopefully these are not

autos as they will be hating the trimming :(

I will cut some clone of the Durban Poison as they are feminized :)

they need a bit more age but in the past I have cut clones marked them an run the cloner

light at 12/12 or 10/14 to sex them and not the plant

I will put up photos later as I have a bit of space for now after cutting off 50 % of the growth

all the best and grow well

Did you make fems out of the devils poison yourself?

got to love this time of year :) just got an email and a bill from my power company

saying it was glad I am back to using power like a small city :(

only nice thing is the power is running lights and not a heater ;)


all the best and grow well

today is 3/21/2024 first day of spring and it is sub zero here in New York

my heater in my room was pulling way too much juice and tripped a breaker

replaced it with a smaller one that ran none stop

went to the farm store on the way to work picked up one and jetted out at noon with the replacement

things are more better

Today is 3/23/2024 and I have six inches of snow on the ground with more to come :(

now it is freezing rain

so winter is back until Tuesday when it will be 60 f

after changing my lights from running in the day to running at night and from 18/6 to

14/10 for 3 days

the light went off at 5 AM and will come back on at 5 PM Sunday for 36 hours of darkness

12/12 until Friday

This should get the males out and I can up pot my females, the lights will go back to 18/6

I will cut them back to match outside over the month of April

first time I have been in the room with no lights running I have a 4 foot shoplight running

over the breaker box all the time

I hope all the blue LED panels and red rocker/pilot lights do not give me Hermies ;)


grow well and live

I don’t trust them one little bit.
all my equipment has panels that tell me the watts, amps and keep track of the Kilo-o-watt

hours used

never would trust NiMo before the digital meters I would read the meter and call it in

as they wanted to guesstomate my bill

a side note my bill has gone down with the switch to leds about 120 US$ a month to

cover the same real estate

Everything looks nice man.
finally getting the room and the lights more dialed in it took a bit first started using them

like florescence lights :( two inches from the canopy

Much respect to you.
too kind my friend your work is impressive

I got in the hole with them over four grand last winter
when I did grow inside and was running 5500 watts of HIDs some bills almost gave me a heart attack

I may do an indoor flower run on the way go the door

I have up to about 600 watts over a 5 foot by 5 foot :) I hate to bin plants I could flower just because

Aunt Kathy is an asshole about growing

all the best and enjoy the snow

I have used Peters forever and have liked it a lot
:slight_smile:

but it has always given me a green that has not really moved me
:frowning:

I was posting with a grower last spring somewhere and we have posted back and forth

since 2001 on many boards that have come and gone

he like me comes from the greenhouse trade and we were raised on WR Peters and Jack’s Classic

I was checking a grow of his out and saw the beautiful emerald green his plants were

and had to ask him what he was using

he said this is what he is using start to finish and loving it inside and out

MEGA CROP – Greenleaf Nutrients





I used it outside start to finish in 2023 but when I started flowering I did hit them with

Monopotassium phosphate MKP 0-52-34 and also as seedlings

I like to water them in with it when I put them in ground the 0-52-34 is good for roots

whatever works for you is best
:slight_smile:
my 2 cents

You have been influencing me. So i got some of this to run this year. Really peer pressuring me here xD. They are convenient they accept any kind of payment and they ship out fast. Thanks for the advice lets see how it turns out. Got my cloner full now.

I know as hard as I whacked my plants with it :( if it was Jacks/Peters with their Urea based

nitrogen

my plants would have burned, the leaves were showing black veins/leaves a couple plain water

drinks and they bounce right back :) to be fair I used it more outside just started using for real inside

this spring


39 days until May First back into the ground under the sun

all the best and enjoy the day
