if its not the heat, then its the cold, if its not hot and humid at the same time.

i had too many issues with the temps, and ambient weather conditions in my grow area. all of the tops of my plants turned a light brown after the last hot/humid days we've been having in my area of NJ. BB is busted so there's no way for me to get a heads up from weatherbug like i needed and was accustomed to.

FLOWER CAB
i had 12xNL in 2gl DWC/flower, under a 400MH inside a 4x7 box that sits inside of an uninsulated area, so what ever was happening outside was double for my inside and damned near triple for the 4x7 box that had a hot ass light in it . . . i tried to make it work and it wasnt gonna happen so lesson learned.

VEG CAB bottom area
12xNL's in veg in a bubbler, with 2xNL moms and 8xNL plants that were in hempy style mixture in beer cups and the same thing happened where all the tops turned brown.

VEG CAB top area
had 7xNL in the same hempy mixture/beer cup container setup and they all had light brown dried out tops.

its been about a month now and they havent made any attempts to recover. sprayed the tops to foliar feed, i tried adding some epsom salts to one of the buckets in flower and its been the end of about 2wks and theres been no response of reversal of the conditon of the plant tops so im done. Ive come to terms with that AND more so what i will need to do for a better return on my investment and time going forward

and you know what aswell? i like to reinvent myself and ive been mulling it over and i think i was taking this whole site a little too seriously anyway and wanted more from it, so im gonna come back with a renewed focus and attitude towards the site and not as FRIENDinDEED

so this is me saying farewell to FRIENDinDEED and you can too!

im gonna leave this up for a good month or so and check on it periodically as im taking an online class anyway.

its been real:tiphat::thank you:

Give up your handle, that is fine, and reinvent yourself. BUT...don't ever give up growing!!!!!! Even the masters have bad runs.....it's ok. You are one step closer to becoming a master, cause you now know what doesn't work. It is all trial and error, my friend, til you find what works best for you. A name is just a name, and can be changed, but a passion for the plant...that won't change. You are just discouraged right now, but you are not alone....your fellow growers, are right here with you. Ask me how many times I have said I am going to stop......and I said it everytime I had a bad run. You are a GROWER, and don't ever give up. the GANJA Gods are just fuckin' with you.......but soon they will shower you with THC. Much love, my friend, and keep that chin up, and start all over again!!!!!

whenever damage is burned and dried out, you just cut it off. it never recovers. anyway good luck, see you next lifetime.

growing aint easy expect failures especially when new, the key is learning from your mistakes and making changes after every harvest, and one day hope to finally get things dialed. ive been growing almost 5 years and im still far from that eventual goal, had plenty of lost crops to learn from, it angers me but i need to refocus that anger and finally conquer this.

Hell dude don't change your name or quit. Just change your grow set up so it will work right. Buy a tent or build one with poly if your low on cash. You can find deals on grow stuff on craigslist or ebay if needed like ac window units and cooled hoods/inline fans ect. Plenty of folks on here can help you deal with any problem you will possibly ever run across. If you want send me a p.m. with a list of what stuff you have and what kind of grow conditions you have to work with I'll help you get in the right direction. I started indoor in 1987 and have set up grows almost every kind of way you can think of and made it work. Basements,Attics,closets,crawl spaces,hidden furniture and fake wall grows just to name a few. I've also done HVAC work for 15 years in the past so got that covered if needed. From what I'm reading on your post you even live in a MMJ state so clones or plants should be easy to replace

Just stay positive and remember REHAB is for quitters.

yeah MM, i really am gonna miss that handle dude, i got that shit from a really nice psychadelic poster my brother gave me after we connected as growers/smokers so to be honest it has some manner of deeper meaning to me

thnx

I miss the park bro, get some weed, burn a bowl and watch the various performers. short walk to Bleeker Bobs or the Peculier Pub and over to 6th Av for some pizza.

I'll miss seeing you bro, one of my earliest friends here.

when i make it back i will defintely keep you on the radar, but ive known what ive had to do for a long time coming now and trying to waylay the work or work around the problem isnt cutting it anymore.

to lose a whole crop?! i mean i had one round in flower and another round waiting to go all lost in one feld swoop.

i hear you but drastic changes garner drastic countermeasures, i'll be on it
