Hey Moonshine and all those that also happen by this Journal, HIGH:hugs:,
Girls are looking healthy, Good Job!
Been busy chasing contracts, keeping the family business alive. Really wish I had more time to interact on some of these journals more, O'Well, anyway.... Thanks Ohioboy "I'm a palethogy of knowledge", "LIGHTS" to intense? should have seen 2 of them in the 20"x14"x65" cabinet with the doors closed (small challenge). Able to get them within 8-10 inches of canopy top for the entire light cycle without ill effect. Yes, 90 acers, and other resources poised to capitalize on a green light in any aspect; industrial, medical, or just grow with it.:cheesygrinsmiley:

Sorry to here about your dilemma, you know, growing Cannabis in a rental unit without the land lords knowing.
I had a similar situation: Legal medical grow, just moved into the neighborhood. In-laws want to visit for 5 days, not a big fan of Marijuana (typical ignorant) wife freaking out (have to get rid of the plants). I bit the bullet and rented the smallest uhaul I could get. I lived on a cul-de-sac (6 houses with 6 open carports across the street from the house). Parked the uhaul in the carport with the backend out of view of the neighbors. Went to a local store and picked up some boxes and proceeded to box up my plants and move them to the uhaul. Unpack and set up (1 light, 1 fan, 1 timer, thermometer, and a padlock). lucky there was power boxes in the car port or I would have ran power from the house. Cracked the door as convenient to do so. Made some CO2 Jars ( sugar and yeast ) when the doors were closed for an extended period of time. Told the in-laws that I was moving stuff to and from storage (explain the uhaul). Saved my plants, peace with the in-laws (and wife). CUTE STORY "HUH" :thumb:

I hope my fly by ramblings' find you in good spirits, and having an optimistic outlook on every speedbump placed in your path through life.
Peace brother

Trimmed some fan leaves on a couple of plants that needed light to lower flowers. Tucked all the others that needed it. Watered 5g pots with 1/2 strength an ph perfect grow micro, so now they have been fed only twice in 28 days. Two weeks in a row at 1/4 & 1/2 strength respectively. Have most excellent day today.

I just noticed I never commented on how badass those pics are. That's like a dream being able to hang with your plants like that. What's up with the little ones in the white material with tape. Looks like they're sitting in an old opened up milk jug? Killer plants and set up. Carpeting too!! Keeping those piggies warm.

Tucked the girls in for the night. Now my day continues. I figure we are both SE US enjoying the warm weather. No auto, will try some day. I'm growing an unknown strain of found seeds stored from years ago. My hand and type of grow setup was forced by my son's eagerness to germinate 25 seeds at once. I currently have 14 survivors + 1 Charley Brown Christmas tree (so sad looking) and 32 clones. Wheew! OCD, Bipolar, Anger issues, perfectionism? that's what my doctor thinks. I think? "I was just up for a good challenge". Space issues required that I jam them into hydro tubs in a couple of walk in closets. I have 12 clones going in soil today, for future outdoor grows. Bugs, not yet had some spider mites on my dwarf citrus trees though. Triple strength NEEM oil gets rid of them.
Definably need to get you a PH and PPM/EC tester.(worth there weight in platinum).
Are your grow areas basically enclosed like a closet, green house style tent or enclosed tent? If so you can put in a inexpensive (DIY) CO2 generator to help with the heat issues (Increased CO2 levels will help your girls tolerate the heat better). Humidity has been a issue, since I have girls in week 5 of flower. Cant justify or afford a $150 dehumidifier right now. Sooo..... this is what puts a smile on my face every morning (evening?).:yahoo:

Just saw this post. Man that's a lot of clones. Also, I hope my girls take off in flower like yours did. It's been 5-7 days maybe, I'll have to ck for sure, that my girls have shown first pistils. They don't seem to be coming along as fast as I thought they would. Maybe cause I'm wanting it to happen too much. I wanna see some buds.

Thanks again for all this valuable info, & for taking the time out to respond. I really appreciate everyone's responses. It's beautiful morning here in the river city!! Can't wait to check on my lil ones. Hoping I don't find evidence of more bugs on me plants. Might order some ladybugs, as the boss loves em! BONUS points. Nice looking dogs cam!!

Enjoy your day!!

Oh, is this meter what you were talking about? Thanks. HM TDS EZ Water Quality Tester

Good morning cam. How far should my lights be away from tallest part of my plants now that I'm seeing pistils? And how long have the plants on the right hand side of pic been in flower? They look the most like mine do presently. Lastly, how long would you say it'd take to get to the size of the buds on plants at left hand side. Did that make sense at all? Have great day!! Oh, I'll trade you my plants for the ones you have in the pic above. Cheekey!!!!!:thumb:

Thanks joe. Yeah 2 x 300w led. Plus around 7 1/2- 8 good hrs natural daylight. So 12 is cool? I read some where about the spectrum being better at 18", but figured I'd get as many opinions as possible before I made a change. There's no way they grew 3" in 2 days right. I could've sworn they were 12" away yesterday or day before, & now they're 9" away. Raised them as far as I could without somehow raising them to very top pole support of tent. Anyways. I'm wondering also if I should just put these big ones outside now, & bring in say three more of the smaller plants in the 3 g pots to see how much they can grow. Sorry for the ramble guys.

Suggestions, opinions are greatly appreciated-welcomed.

Hey king, in your experience, how long did it take from the point mine are at (see earlier pics if you don't mind) do they (buds) start growing fast? Thanks. They've shown pistils for bout 5-7 days I guess. :thumb:

It depends on strain every strain can act different. PH problems could affect growth. So many factors to consider to these sensitive girls. I would lower led lights to the plants if in pre flower to 15" but that is my opinion play around with them record it learn fir next grow. That's all I plan on doing going forward.

Hay, Need to get rid of Daylight Savings time.
Girls looking frisky. Nice!
Lights: try to be 18" above center of plants or 12" from top of plants (hang at 13" move when plants grow within 12"). Make sense?
Growth wise (soil vs hydro) and genetics.
The 3 variables under control pH, Nutrients and environmental (indoors/greenhouse).
All have an effect on health and growth.
Mine, in the picture 3 day flower. 5 plants transition from 12/12 light switch to flower production. Transition happened on days 10, 11,12 . All but the runt grew 18" within the week.
If these were my kids, I'd be in jail for the training (abuse) I've put them through. Low level to crippling Bondage (LST)/(supercroping). Decapitation (topping)/(FIM). Hobbling and Binding (Prunning)/(Thinning).
The little one on the right topped at 8" STUNTED. She was 12" at flip, everyone else 18" (+training). She has grown a couple of inches, all others are 32" to 40" tall.
Your autos seam to be doing fine. There genetics are designed to produce in a methodical way. Your learning well, there still alive.

Hope this finds all friends in good spirits.

Later
