Diary PCBuds mini-grow

same.. are u east or west of London?
looks like we got a bit more out this way (west)

West of London.

Do you know when regular daylight is 12/12 so I know when to switch to flower?

I'm thinking of my window plant.

 

[PCBuds]

I decided to germinate a 14$ seed.

Candy Cane Autoflower.



I'm thinking of replacing my window plant...

 

[PCBuds]

I think it's belly button up but it was hard to tell?


I forgot to check the seed first.
( I'm pretty drunk, and stoned.)

late september? days are still getting longer lol

So, outdoor photoperiod plants don't go into flower until late September?

I'm really digging my Maple tree !!

It's bigger than my house !

Depends on strains and latitude. I'd expect most strains in southern Ontario to be flowering by mid-late July, I think 12/12 is quite a bit later though.

Maples grow fairly quickly. A family member has a whole yard full of them and damn are they messy! Little helicopter seeds stuffing the gutters with saplings growing from them. A straight hydroponics system.

Thanks, that's what I was wondering.
I guess they go to flower a bit before 12/12 happens.

I get the helicopters too.
My tree dumps a whole bunch of buds or something in the early spring as well.
They plug up my gutters and downpipes.

I cut it over a week ago and the roots are still pumping up water.

I changed up my closet a bit.
I removed the ceiling fan and lowered my ceiling strips about 4".

Then I removed a two-inch strip at the ceiling to let hot air out.











I'm going to try and run my closet without an exhaust fan.
I'm thinking the fan is just blowing all my CO2 out of the closet and drawing in dust.

I've been running the lights for an hour now and they all seemed to be running right at test current when they are warmed up.

I checked the strip temperatures and they were at 42°C - 60°C at the top.

I checked the temperature of the strip that I fixed with a resistor and it was at 90°C!!, so I swapped it for a lower mounted strip.


It was at the top in the middle where it's hottest.






I've got a couple of PC fans that I want to use as circulation fans to give her some wind and help prevent mold.

 

[PCBuds]

I made some brackets for my fans.














The screws that come with a lamp holder fit perfectly and thread themselves in.
No need to find nuts of the proper size.

 

[PCBuds]

My closet temperature hit 35°C but that's towards the ceiling.








It was 30°C at the soil.








I'm going to replace my air filter to hopefully get more airflow so that convection can pull air through it.

I will keep an eye on my power supplies current when the house warms up during the coming months.
I'll just dial back the current as it gets warmer in my house.

I don't want to rely on fans, mostly for safety reasons.

Here they come...

I found a worm in my backyard...













I transplanted it...

Sept 25th is 12/12 in London: https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/canada/london

They likely starting sooner than 12/12 with all the far red they get from the sun at the start/end of the day. 13/11 is Sept 5th, and that seems like around when they would start flowering.
