Hey Shed (@InTheShed), do you know of a forum on here where I can get feedback on grow lights? Probably not a grow journal topic. ty!

There is this:
...but I've never been there. You can also post the question in my thread for some feedback from folks there.
Some of our lighting sponsors have their threads as well.

Weather here's been raining for 2 days and won't clear up until Sunday. And temps went from 90 to 60s, and will be in the high 50s tomorrow. I had to pull the 3 chocolopes in from the hard rain last night. They're in my laundry room nice and warm, but with only a ceiling light so no good. My 4x4 tent won't come until next Friday. Hoping they'll be okay until Monday, though I'll probably need to do laundry at some point.
They look great if squished!
LOL!

Ty. It's my first attempt at SOG.

And then there's this poor girl. She looks like she's giving up on me. The 30x loupe isn't good enough so I've ordered a 60x which will get here tomorrow. But honestly, I'm really sick of looking at her trichomes. Can't hold the loupe without shaking. I gave her a bit of a trim to remove brown leaves.
I'm not crazy about what's going on with those wilting leaves in the flower. Is it still drinking? Looks worn out to me.

Yep. She's getting plenty of water. I think a few days of over 90 might have exhausted her. Hope she's ready soon.
Yes, but is she drinking it? Does she need water as often as she did a week ago?

She's drinking fine. Watering every 3 days. The root bound was the bigger GSC. I transplanted her to a 5 gallon and she's fine.

Hi Shed (@InTheShed ), you said a while ago that you grew Chocolopes. Can you say how much they stretched when you flipped them? ty!
If I flip one a week so that I'm not trying to harvest all at one, will that create a light distance problem in my tent? My plan now is to pull them in for the flowering stage to avoid the extreme temp changes.
As always, Ty, Ty, and Ty.

You mean you will be leaving some under lights at night while you move the first one into the tent for 12 hours of dark?
I find that my plants outside don't stretch the way indoor plants do, and I don't really track that since height isn't an issue for me.
Here was my Chocolope just before flip (veg day 62, I flipped it a week later):

Nah. Just realized that won't work. Going to stick with kiss rule and flip the 3 at the same time. On nice days leave them out for the 12 and bad days leave them in tent under nice warm led.
That's what I do, but because I'm in Los Angeles I have mostly nice days. 
Thanks! @Weed Seeds Express beans are tops.

Hi Shed, I think you were right about plant not taking up water. It started to get crispy and buds started drying up. Got my 40x loupe and saw the cloudy and a few amber trichomes, so, this morning I harvested. Washed them in H2O2 and tap water and hung them to dry in a dark closet with a fan on them (currently 68 degrees w/ 60 humidity.
Congratulations on the harvest!
Point the fan away from them after 4 hours of hanging. Pointing it directly at them is just to get the wash water off. If the temp and RH stay there, keep the fan on high though.

Yup. It's turned away from them - just enough to keep air flowing. Ty!!!

I read a blog comment yesterday advising someone to nuke a small bud for a minute if you want to test a bud before drying. That seems wrong, but I'd love to test one.
I make a small canoe out of tin foil and lay it over the top of the toaster slot to quick-dry. Doesn't take long (less than a minute) so don't walk away!
