Thanks sir, I'm a rookie compared to a veteran like yourself no doubt. I dont forget helping hands friend. I bet its been a good 20 years since you helped a brother out, if not its sure closing in on it.

LOL. The part I remember is you complaining of cutting your fingers on the chiller's cooling fins....if my foogy memory severs me

peace brother

They are looking good. I can't believe the fast flower development from the last update. The container size might have helped with some of that...damn they are looking good....rookie,lol.

Your confidence in your ability to grow a larger plot next year is a credit to you. That happens when you pull off a good grow like this.

Sending out good vibes to Mother Nature and your grow

peace joe

Sorry but I have to circle back to the point one last time. I'll never forget your helping me for nothing at all, in your own times of trouble. I don't like putting peoples business out there, so I dont want to go to deep but I know for certain, you helped me, when you were facing your own struggles. That to me brother speaks huge volumes about who you are as a human being. I'll never forget it and I'll always appreciate it and I do know that you did that during a time you yourself were in a bind. You'll always have my respect and appreciation.

I agree, when I put the top on it and make it more like a greenhouse it might be a little less prison or kennel like, part of the requirements in my area is that nobody under 21 can have access to the space. I dont think I want to give them any reason to chop my plants or hassle me.

It's always been a dream for me to be able to grow a garden without having to face prosecution for it. So I agree.

the roof idea sounds like a win,win

I've got all the tpost to weld the aframe, I got paranoid I'd have to have took to much time setting up to make 24 welds needed, I didn't want to burn them. I should just design some fittings that can make use of the tpost and allow for easy construction, that would make it a simple setup and tear down process. Then you could build a greenhouse with tpost using simple adapters.

I've noted the first day and sign of flower on each strain,

How do you figure out what the first day of flowering is?

How do you figure out what the first day of flowering is?

When the main shoots start showing pre flowers and signs they're transitioning. Ideally I'd like to add my flower top dressing a week prior to that sign. For example it would reflect how at the end of week 1 12/12 I would begin flower schedule. It's not a perfect science, my plants in containers are about 2 weeks ahead of my friends that are in ground. They were in full bloom while theirs were still stretching.

Infact a lot of my buddies, we're stopping by concerned. I had to assure them that mine are in containers restricted and being cut off from stretching out like they would ideally like too. I said yours are unrestricted so it's typical behavior and better for you that they do. I told them they will be grateful for all the extra weight in the end.

My plants are thirsty, I can't keep up as well as I would like at this point, a little struggles good for them. I'm not letting them die or anything but I'm certainly drying out more inbetween waterings than I would like. I can't use my pump because I dont know if the damn things kicking on every 12 24 or 36 hours so relying on it for any middle of the day watering is out of the question. Right now its the long day without a watering period. I'm watering in the morning and evening and they really need a good midday watering to maintain adequate moisture levels.
