Fun, Friendly But Still Serious Outdoor Guerrilla Grow Show 2018

I've been manipulating the light on my outdoor grow since late March to flip my AK-47 (now in week 8) by keeping it in the dark 12 hours a day. Into the dark at 8:30pm and out into the sun at 8:30am.

That’s so cool. I never thought of doing that, but I like it...I like it a lot.
 
Let me elucidate: I work in the hatchery part of our freshwater site and where I work we have 1 metre tanks containing 70,000 fish at half a gram each. To get them growing at their best at this stage they are getting 24 hour light so they can keep feeding.

When they get about a gram or more, they are put into 10 metre tanks where they grow under natural light cycle. This will be happening very soon, actually. They will be under the natural light cycle eventually and next spring when the days get longer they go to salt water.

If you want to put the fish in salt water in the fall for some reason, it can be done by covering the tank with a big tarp and putting lights underneath to make, for a good comparison, a growroom inside the greenhouse where all those tanks are. You give them short "days" over the summer by keeping the lights on for the appropriate time. Then you make the photoperiod progressively longer to simulate spring and the fish go out to the bay without a hitch when their "days" are the same length as the natural ones. So you see why it would be interesting to try the same thing with a plant.

I know it's a little late to start it now, but in the early months of next year we'll have to start one. Like a 12/12 from seed at first and whatever monstercrops out of it after a first harvest.

I'm a schlepper! Of course, I've had to make some modifications to the schlepping because the enclosure I built was air-tight and the RH got way too high over night. So now I move it into the shed with two fans on it. It's in the mid 70% range but seems to be okay with all the air movement.

Those are the same times I have mine set for.

sounds like a nice happy system now. Something to play with this year to plan for next year.

Wish I could say that. I'm conditioned to get up at 6:00 now, but most days I'm at work so being in sync in the morning isn't a high priority. But in the night when I get home from work I'm usually in bed by 8:30 so that's a good evening time for the girls too.
 
Wife told me that her sister would like a couple joints to help with her chemo symptoms. I'll get some over to her first thing in the morning.

On a related note, I'm keeping my hands off my budding plants, The Unmentionable One being the exception to the rule. May get her some of my own yet.
 
My first seedling in soil and it going great, they don’t grow as fast as in coco and I barely need to water it! I’ve been hardening her off in the day and supplemental guerrilla lighting :D at night. I will transplant her to the 5G this weekend then outside full time #sinkorswim

That could just be a water/nute droplet that magnifyed a bit. I wouldn’t change anything and let her ride. That’s me though. They’re young.

I agree, I’d just watch it for a day or so.

I'm about to find out if that's going to happen with my male ATF. In comment #344 I explained how we do things with salmon.
