Peyton & Pals Perpetual Playground

It looks like you are more worried about a night freeze. We don't get hard freezes until mid November where I live on the same coast as you. When an early or late freeze threatens my tomatoes and stuff, I just cover them. That might get you a couple weeks into fall. Get a flannel king size sheet and cover her. You've got to remove it when the sun starts warming her. Good luck on whatever you do. I'll bet she really gets going when it starts getting cool at night. I'd like to see a 7 footer blooming. Stumped was right. I didn't think that was a HD 5 gallon bucket.

Question Will my 400 watt lamp finish my Miss Black Indoors???? Im just trying to prepare myself for October because she still hasn't Flowered yet :(
 
We start getting freezes in October, and sometimes snow then too, but this is the Midwest. My room in garage has lights on at night and it still drops into the mid sixties. I just hope this winter isn't as harsh

Flowering has just begun for most outdoor plants, you should have penny size buds by now.
How far up the east coast are you? Jim is lucky he can do a lot of them late fall techniques he's more southern east coast. Where I'm at middle Oct we sometimes get frost, but a good rule of thumb of outdoor cannabis. When temps reach 10c there is chance or mold and or budrot.
DO NOT cover your plants while flowering with burlap or anything. I've tried this years ago. Just made mold and budrot set in faster.

You could finish her inside, but yield will suffer. My advice if choosing to finish indoors, you'll have to supercrop, bend branches over just to fit the plant inside. How tall are your ceilings? Gotta have 12 inch between light and plant, + height of the lamp another 6-10". If u think u got room physically for the plant, then yes u can finish it inside.

Ceilings are 8 or 9 feet usually.

Hey bro! Missed ya last night.
Fnv has begun!!! So excited.

Can I shed some light on covering cannabis late in the season? With plants like tomatoes the flowers or fruit, they don't cluster together like cannabis buds do. Covering a flowering cannabis plant will almost certainly mold and or rot the plant.
I've tried it lol cannabis plants sweat and if ya trap that sweat its trouble waiting. Cannabis also stops growing at 10c celcius.
Frost really isn't the problem. Its temps getting too low for plant to keep growing. Plants will be dead by the time frost hits up here.
I'm gonna check out that vid u sent me tonight when I got time to veg out, thanks bro!

Okay, i went to the local hydro store and he was out of hy-pro so i went with GHE hardwater grow and bloom (floraduo). will try this combo later tonite.

Nice man. GH products work great! But let me advise. Do not follow directions on bottle. Start with 1/2 strength. And slowly increase dosage till you reach desired dosage, or burn the plant. Then flush with 5x soil volume with pH adjusted water and back off the dosage.
Some strains handle 2000ppm some can't take barely 600ppm.

Everyone sounds right on track.

Cheers.
 
Alright, so the pc is still looking good. All the heads have turned up toward light since supercrop, and the spots where it was supercropped are turning a little light brownish, but doesn't look horrible. So is that normal discoloration or is something wrong? Just checking to ease my paranoia
 
I'll grab some pics tonight when I get out there again. Little guy is running around so I'm stuck in house till he naps. I even got the real camera working now so I can take better pics. But I will grab some for sure
 
Alright. I remember on my sour sky that it turned an ugly grey when I accidentally bent one, just wanted to make sure. I'd hate to go out there and see a plant with all 4 branches broke off. Now I just need to let it heal, top it again and let it veg till flower room is available. I'm hoping this will help up my yield.

Another question stumped. When you scrog, do you keep bending branches under screen through stretch or once in flower do you just let them go up?

Supercrop is right on bro, good job, no worries there.

Scrogging u tuck and tuck for the first 3 weeks till stretch is over. Rule of thumb is veg till screen is half full. Flip to 12/12 then tuck till screen is full. Usually by the time stretch is over.

Hope that clarifies the procedure for ya.
 
It does indeed. That's the way I did sour sky but earlier some guy was on another thread talking about filing the screen full in veg, flipping and letting them grow up. Thought it seemed a little backwards and defeated the purpose of scrog, but to each their own. Glad the supercrop is okay. Can't wait to see what this plant can do. Can already tell the other nodes are starting to take off already from this. Gonna be a bushy beast
 
He's not wrong, just not a true scrog.
Point of a scrog is to maximize light coverage, by spreading the plant out over a vast area. Creating horzonal growth not vertical. A true scrog has one or maybe 2 layers of bud above the screen, and nothing below it.
If u fill a screen before flip all your doing is extreme lsting. And a lot of defoliation later on. You'll have branches 2 feet above the screen.
 
Different strokes for different folks I guess. Supercropping is still weird to me. I still can't grasp how the plant lives and gets stronger when it seems like the bend would cut off its flow of water and nutes. But then again, I also didn't think less is more with nutes would work but I have no complaints about that. Works great from what I can see
 
I agree with stumped on the scrog method, using the other guys method the screen is just a support structure & not a true scrog.
It's good to see your super-cropping was a success :)
 
Thank you. I'm just glad I have you guys for support and help in all the places that are still new to me. A lot of the tuts I find online for growing are always insufficient, so it's cool to have people explain what's missing or what my brain is refusing to see.
 
One of my seedlings broke ground yesterday, but it's as white as snow. I'm guessing that is just bad seeds in general. They were really old bagseed, so no big loss. Just never seen one like that. A few more popped out taproot but I don't have high hopes for them.
 
Hello everybody! I have started a grow journal for my first ever CFL grow and Peyton kindly pointed me over to this thread for more help.

Here is the link to my grow journal which hasn't really started yet as I am waiting for the seeds. I have everything else but the nutes because I was hoping to get advice on what to use.

Small CFL First Grow!

I have myself a little grow box I bought from ebay and am waiting on the seeds to arrive. Here is my little set up.

The thing came with Peat Pellets but it seems to me that I mostly see people using rockwool for this kind of thing. Should I get rockwool instead? It seems like I see people using Peat Pellets mostly for cloning.

The other thing that makes me nervous is when to start adding nutes to the rez. Peyton says when I see jagged leaves to wait about two weeks and then add nutes. Sounds easy enough.

The folks on the other thread suggested I grow only one plant because of the limited lighting so I guess my goal will be to top the plant to get it nice and bushy?

Any more advice would be greatly appreciated of course.
