Persian Farmer Grows

[Persianfarmer]

You doin ok buddy, only problem I can see you haveing is the winter sun wanting to flip your flower, your basically growing on a 12 /12 schedule rn unless they are autos, they prolly already trying to flower idk tho.
U say it's winter, what's your light scedual like and how warm is it?
Just curious

Hiya Joe thanks for taking the time to visit and provide me with feedback

U r on the dot with the flowering issue and am trying to find light anywhere and delay the flowering process. However as you saw some are into aggressive flowering, but at least i could find that some of my strains have auto or rudalis or fast flowering genes.

I am at roughly 1400m sea level, so it gets cold and windy. So early morning it could go from -2 celsius to end up in early evening at around 6-7 degrees. Light I get roughly from 7:30am to noon, then i bring the babies on the other side of balcony where they get light from 13:00 to about 17pm, and then I bring them inside and give a shitty 15w and room light till midnight. And whats your temp and light schedule bro?

Well, ok so your gona have a few problems, first and foremost your gona have tiny plants, you could switch them back to veg,
So ok
Rn I'm running 16 0n 8 off, it don't really matter what time as long as your close to your original time outside as you don't have a tent.
It seems like your working on some sort of budget, so like I had a nice cheap light from home depot, 4 foot t5 led replacement I hat to wire a plug on bc it was a shop light made to be wired directly, I just cut a plug and threw it on, you'll be looking for the widest white spectrum you can find, (blue or "cool" for veg, warm or "red" for flower. But the light I'm suggesting is sun light equivalent and has both blue and red at the same time, wich is fine. You could use this throughout the whole grow, gotta be full spectrum tho.. they are more prevalent in stores now.
They like 50 bucks. And a old toaster cord and boom, done take this and hang it over your plants, I lived next to mine in my bedroom with no tent with the lights on from 500 hrs to 2300 hrs, thays still my schedule as it matches to my summer sun, well good enough anyway less stress. You could always run a flourecent for added light as well, you need more than 12 hrs light or it will keep flowering. Also if they are very stressed you could be stressing your plant to the point of it being less than viable, you could also get one of those like fold out led screw in bulbs and put it on a desk lamp and use that, id prolly avoid the sun all together rn tbh. It being winter your getting more red light than blue, you want the blue, summer sun gives you more blue than red in the beginning then it gives you red in the end of summer, essentially anyway.

I guess we'll start there

Rn it's winter here my I have a pretty big tent, 4x4 680w light dimable it's prolly like 200w rn.. my humidity is like a steady 40%in room and 70% in baby tray temp is around 72 across the board, don't get all exact I'm not, lol

Bro thanks seriously

I really appreciate all the great suggestions that are exactly what i was thinking. Back in the days I use to veg on T5 which worked great and then out.
As you so well mentioned, I am kinda limited and I think maybe it would be the best. I also thought I would end up with small plants and weak flowers, so just in case I popped more seeds for good measures. So next step is to set up T5s.

Again thanks for being here

Looking good. Tell me are the babies at the far end about 3 weeks old? Just want to compare with mine which are about 3 weeks

Yea man, no problem ur welcome. Get them outa them plastic pots too. Nothing for nothing I always used plastic, afyer a side by side grow with felt tho, no more plastic but a seed tray should be used in my opinion, like yea, sure, solo cups, but u should get a few felt pots. the felt pots are cheaper. And they prune your roots for you.
Just a tip, I use .25 gal nursery bags, thays what you see in the Pic.
Then transfered to whatever your gona use, idk preferably felty like 20 gal or 15 gal or something idk could be less could be a 5, I wouldn't go under 5 gal for a flowering plant tho, of dirt. Hydros diff, so is coco etc. Coco is lazy hydro. In my opinion anyway, I hate coco.
Also, t5s are fine, do it up. If they are Florencents make sure they are the "cool" ones or blue, let's are the same, the warm will work but it doesn't have correct spectrum for veg, could fuck with the progress.

The ones at the end furthest from us are Cinderella 99, I think they popped around the 25th of January, so like 2 weeks. I guess, more or less

 

[joepotsmoker]

All them babies are about the same age, give or take about 5 days

 

[Persianfarmer]

Thanks Bro much appreciated. Yes again u are totally right regarding pots. I wanted to make my own « smart pots » with eco friendly material that provides better oxygen. Plastic is shit and strangles the roots and make them roll and roll. But for the moment I got this 30-35 L plastic pots where I have been working on my super soil for about 8 months. Will surely do as you say for hopefully next year or when I get a spot outdoors and try to grow them as the Mendo brothers or Subcool lol

 

[joepotsmoker]

Lol, it's a lil early, be easier to split the baby growth into hrs almost rn lol so like, idk
If they are that young, and already flowering, that kinda sucks.
Idk if you have a chance let the little guys finish maybe in the window and run the others under the t5s
Make a bonsai tree
Like this maybe, I Wana do this personally tbh

 

[joepotsmoker]

And the creating your own smart pot thimg, I'm a backyard mechanic as well... trust... I tried...
Break down and buy some small felts. I did I just bought a dozen 2 gallon felts for 20 bucks. Like, where u getting pots like that unless you source them I guess. Idk thats on u,
Drill some holes kn the bucket, it'll let some air in and kinds prune themselves I did that too. 5 gal Homer bucket riddled with holes...lmao

Nice Cinderlla 99 is great wish i could get a cut. Which seed co?
See thats the freaking difference your babies are 10-15 days younger and look similar than mines at 3 weeks… Great example of how great quality light makes the difference. Never experienced the new lightening system, all I know is Sodium and MH lamps which are now long outdated

[joepotsmoker]

N yea, light and food is big, you got 50 % covered rn it seems

 

[joepotsmoker]

You seem to put out nice plants for them being in your window, so like that dirt blend is prolly doin something

 

[Persianfarmer]

Cool! Thanks… I see you have done it all Mr. Mechanic….have you done aeroponics as well?

 

[joepotsmoker]

Well, I've gotten into airopinic cloning,
I have a 36 site cloner atm with I think a dozen 360° spray nozzels

 

[joepotsmoker]

I have Done hydro deep water drip setup
It was both a top dripper on the clay pebbles and about 6 inches of water in each bucket that constantly flowed with 2 manifolds one for supply and one for return, air stones setup strategically, change the nutes wveryweek and flush, run them babies at like 10000ppm they'll be fine... and they were lmao
