What are the temperatures - and how much sun do the plants get ?

Good luck.

thx man, i tried to grow in the spring and lets just say it didn't go as planned, hopefully i can redeem myself with this run.

What are the temperatures - and how much sun do the plants get ?

up to 80 F in the day and as low as 40 F in the night, but usually its in the low 50s at night. the plants are in a shady spot, i'd say they get sunlight for at least 5 hours a day.

Friend, add just a little of the same soil to the bottom of the cups to raise the seedlings so the roots can grow deeper. Your leaves will grow faster and the stem stronger.

thanks for the tip!! still learning as i go, so i need as much information as possible.

Your welcome friend. I plant my seed in dixie cups and put them under a low-wattage light. When they get big leaves it's time to put them into a one-gallon pot or plant them outdoors. Outdoors you have to watch out for the freeze or frost dates and make sure your plants are finished before a frost. Since you are on a balcony you can just bring your plants in when it's cold. Here's an example.

Sounds good.

Some plants may not like it.

I would grow a variety - Indica, Sativa, Indica Sativa crosses. Some will probably like it.

If you're growing for personal stash, the crop weight may not matter.

If you're growing for re-sale, could always add extra-lighting. As long as the extra lighting doesn't compromise stealth.

Once I had some LED lights in a black berry thicket with some plants, forgot to turn off the lights.

When it got dark, everybody who drove down the road could see I had something going on in the blackberry thicket. Kind of embarassing.

i'd like to think i have a pretty good variety mostly being hybrids some indica leaning, some sativa leaning. im mostly growing for personal use so it shouldn't be that much of an issue. if i was doing large scale i'd want supplemental lighting and maybe a hoop house. anybody ever comment about the black berry bushes? lol
