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
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.
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.
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.
