Thank you so much AngryBIrd! Great pic and a wonderful thought as well.
That "tiny" shed is easily 3x bigger than mine, though I did have a Flexible Flyer sled just like that when I was a kid!

Monday update, last one of 2018! Let me start by saying an enormous to all of you who sub here. I appreciate each and every one of you and the contributions you offer to me, to my fellow members, and to the site as a whole. Without you all, this journal would just be me posting some pics of my plants and when I watered and when I trimmed.
Instead it has become a huge part of my life and the place I spend much of my free time (and sometimes even when I'm not "free"
). It's a place I share my growing and a lot of the rest of my life as well, and where I have a community of friends and acquaintances who help me power through the lows, revel in the highs, and solve the problems I encounter large and small.
I am incredibly grateful to you for taking the time to join me here. You are why I'm here. May you, your family, and your friends have a terrific New Year's Eve and an amazing 2019 ahead.
On to the update!
First, it was time to have a Sour G clone in soil, so I pulled this one out of the chilly cloninator. It was cut Oct 21:
Into ProMix HP with added Mykos:
And on to the heating mat in the office under the 23w 6500K CFL.
Next, I did a bit of thinning on the Blue Treacle Auto 2. Why at this late stage? Because when I take it down I will be stripping it of all fan leaves so I can show off the structure in my LST training thread. So I thought I would pull off a few lowers and ones that were fading fast.
Here's one I thought looked pretty, like it's autumn in December:
Then I flipped it over and found a colony!
I'll hit the lowers with iso/water but I don't want to use spinosad this close to harvest.
And last, it was time to start training the Candidas. I broke out the Stankclips for the uppers and pipe cleaners for the lowers:
The Candida without the tap root only has one branch at the first node!
And I'm seeing a bit of calcium deficiency, which I don't think is light-related because these sit about 30" off the strips.
They've only gotten ¼ and ½ strength nutes up until now so it's full strength going forward!
That's what I've got for today. Thanks again for the love, the help, the friendship. This site was very good to me in 2018 and I look forward to continuing to give back in 2019.
Now...let's party with
What Shed Said:
and the Rectangular Cuboid of Dankness:

123 thousand and six hundred ? Natural sun light what time of day and year of season maybe something to study shed ? Or notSunday greetings and time for the how-the-heck-did-my-journal-get-to-the-middle-of-page-three update!
Let's start by talking about yesterday, when I passed along all of my clones in soil except for two. That was one AK-47 and six Sour Gs! I even gave away the Sour G I was going to keep because I still have one in the cloninator that I'll be putting in soil in the next week or so, and this member had an empty tent and room outside as well. Here is what I have left of the small ones:
Back row is AK, Candida, Candida. Front is Sour G, AK-47. Those front two are going to another member in January, at a meetup we're doing in Orange County with a member from San Diego, who is going to get a couple of plants from the cloninator (he runs hempy so they will transplant well).
Moving on, here is the quadlined Peyote Critical, looking pretty bushy and not very quaddy!
I have to keep bending down the inner growth as it's outpacing the mains.
Since it never appears in pics, here is the AK-47 that I'll flower sometime in January (along with the Sour G and maybe the PC as well):
This plant has been living in the bike shed under a 23w CFL at night, with temperatures as low as 42ºF. It seems okay to me!
Speaking of the cold, I have a radiant dish heater in the shed at the moment, which draws about 890 watts when it's on. So I've turned the hot tub down to 99º to keep from tripping the breaker. I turn the heater off when I go to sleep, but when it's on it keeps the shed around 66º, so I'm thinking a radiant heater is probably the best bet. Home Depot didn't have one in stock so I'll order one online and have them ship it to the store. They're 1500 watts so I will only run it when the lights and the hot tub are off, and it should keep the shed warm longer than when I unplug the dish heater.
Last pic is of the FIM on Candida w'tap:
Can anyone tell if I FIM'd or FIMTFIM'd?
I tried out my new Lux meter today. I may not get many hours of direct sun, but even on December 30th at 10:30am I'm getting 123,600 lux. According to the conversion calculators online, that's 2,286.6 PPFD (at 6500K daylight).
So I brought it into the shed and set the strips at 20" (which is further away than they currently are but it seemed like a nice round number). Here are the numbers at 180 watts:
Near edge: 16,400 lux or 239.01 PPFD
1/3 of the way in: 22,400 lux or 326.45 PPFD
Dead center: 25,900 lux or 377.46 PPFD
Getting time to bump the wattage on the strips, but I have this damn heater business I have to deal with first. We're having a cold winter...it was 56º in the house this morning!
I hope you're all getting ready for Dutch's New Year's Edible Eve party tomorrow night

December 30th at 10:30am! According to the conversion calculators online, that's 2,286.6 PPFD (at 6500K daylight). Doubt that's going to get duplicated in the shed at any time...123 thousand and six hundred ? Natural sun light what time of day and year of season maybe something to study shed ? Or not
