Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -
I would take the second article with a pinch of salt. I agree in general that there is somewhat of a UV phobia being spread in the developed world (gotta sell that merchandise) but there are also a few errors and quasi facts in there (isolated unverified scenarios being presented as fact when there could be any number of other reasons for the observed phenomena).
To be exposed to UV-C from the sun you would literally have to be in Antarctica during summertime under the so called "ozone hole" so that never really comes into play. UV damage when caused is cumulative, so long time exposure to damaging levels will not completely heal and will get worse.
I agree fully with the author that we should not try to eliminate our exposure to UV, that would be stupid, we have after all evolved under the sun so of course we have adapted to and need its rays. Then again, there is a reason why viri and bacteria do not thrive under UV, I wonder why? (same mechanism works on us) :
:
What we are really talking about here though is taking precautions to not expose ourselves unnecessarily to intense sources of UV that we have no natural protection against. A baseball cap is just one such measure ::
I found some info on UVa UVb and UVc. I am not going worry about it, I use a baseball cap and try not to look into the light.
Here are two links I thought had good info and contradict each other to some degree.
Ultraviolet Radiation
Is Full Spectrum Light Really Bad For Us?
I won't be cloning for another few months I think but I do use a dome and rooter plug method.

I have a Dick's Sporting Goods right around the corner. I'm going to stop in today and check out the prices of ski goggles. I was thinking about them as I was shopping on line last night.
Thanks.

Daily Update: Dark Devil Auto - Day 9
Still getting her feet under her. Leaf growth is marginal at this stage, but that's common when planting a seed into this large a pot of living soil. When she's ready she'll grow and amaze. We have time.
It's so weird how your eyes turn everything green when you come away from that light panel. It takes a few minutes for it to adjust back to normal. I often wonder if this is what life is like for those who are color blind.
I mixed up a half gallon of water with 1/4 cup of aloe vera juice and 1/2 cup of coconut water (to help speed up the root development - yeah, I'm impatient too ) and split it between the pots. I know it seems strange to keep watering and amending a pot that has no cannabis plant in it, but you must always remember that we are feeding the soil, not the plants. The scheduled drenches and teas are done regardless of the inhabitants or their relative stages of development. We need to keep the soil community alive and stocked with building blocks so they can chew up all those minerals in the soil and make it available to the plants.
LOS is such an easy way to grow. All you HB growers tell us Doc's kit is just as easy. I can certainly see the potential. Tomorrow I order my HB soil building supplies.
I'm still waiting for the water to sit for ten minutes to neutralize the chloramines before topping off the reservoirs. Maybe I'll let that go until tomorrow. Thank you ClosetPharmer for showing me I can go that extra day in between with no detriment to the plants. You helped make my life just a little easier.
On to my day. I need to get a Callanetics session in this morning. I can feel my torso trying to collapse. Not a good thing. You all have a wonderful time today, spreading joy at every opportunity.

This is a reminder that today is the last day to cast your vote in the contests. Take that moment or two (I always get lost in the POTM shots and take much longer to get away - such beautiful plants!) and be an active participant. We like to see more people voting.

Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -
Don't you love it when the hit unexpectedly explodes from your lungs? That moment when you are reminded of how much more potent well-grown cannabis is and the joy and pride of knowing it was grown by you?
I have to smile at the amount of time I spend on this site. There's something very special going on in this community. I've noticed a strong proclivity to drop any pretense and just be ourselves here. It's a safe zone, populated by others who share our daily frustrations and respond with laughter instead of anger.
I think it's the cannabis. This amazing plant helps each and every one of us here, either directly or through the loved ones we grow for. Farmers are optimists by nature, so here we are, this merry band of medicinal farmers trying our best to make the world a better place, one beautiful plant at a time.
I find that responsibility humbling and joyful.
We're also, for the most part on this journal, organic gardeners, or on our way to that end. That adds another layer of magic and ease to the formula. Less stress. More laughter and joy. Better harvest.
Something magical happens when you use that first harvest. There's a sudden and irrestible urge to share that with others - to make it possible for others to grow healthier plants too. And so begins The
Great Sharing. It's the living expression of a concept my grandpa taught us:
If I own it but don't need it, and you need it, how quickly can I get it into your hands?
It's a thing of beauty to watch in action, and you find evidence of it happening all over this site. Journal after journal of the free flow of resources and knowledge to help each other make the world better. Always encouraging each other. Laughing and crying together, but always working for a solution for this particular case. Generosity and optimism working hand-in-hand.
Makes me proud to be counted among your numbers.
I frequent other sites, on cannabis cultivation and other topics. I visit there. I proudly live on.

Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -
I agree, Sue, well put. There are a lot of like minded people here that make this place special. Like you, I read stuff all over the web, but I can't find a community like this one, anywhere. One of the more impressive things that you hit on was the ego's. They all seem to subside once most log on, that's a sign of respect and obtaining that online isn't easy.
The trolls will never stop, trust me, but the key is to never feed them. Just ignore and enjoy those who want to be part of a growing community.
How in the world can a person be angry if they can grow their own meds?? So, my guess is the biggest trolls are the biggest losers when it comes to growing.
I'd be angry too,, if I was not able to cultivate a plant.
Karma. It works.
Have a great day, Sue,, and my 420 friends.

I was looking at these yesterday. I'm sending the order for Promix and WiggleWorm (it's almost sacrilege for a a true organic farmer and a worm bin keeper to type that) so I could get free shipping.
That might be the best way to go. I need a pair now.

Cool Dutty.
I added the $16 one to my basket for the next time I place an order. My local grow shop has some but I might as well be buying another pair of Oakleys. Just couldn't pull the trigger on $100 grow glasses, this is much better.

Sorry about the links mods I forgot. Yeah when your in the Amazon there's alot of cool items. However I highly recommend not buying the 60x microscope that attaches to a smart phone for zoomed in pics. It's worthless

I'd just go to the drugstore and get some of those suave old peeps driving glasses. Years ago they called them blue blockers or something,,, i remember those great infomercials!! Those things block out everything,, to include the solid yellow lines on the road. Ever been behind an eighty year old wearing them? They are just using "the force" to get from place to place,,, that being they force others off the road...lol
Getting ready to head to a game! Hope you folks have a great day!

Think there one in the same. Maybe these help with certain uv rays. To be honest I just purchased to protect my eyes from bamboo stakes after my mouth incident. Guess I could of just got safety glasses but I like tools designed for specific applications so I spent 70 or 80 on some gardening glasses. And purchased a few cheaper ones for walk throughs

Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -
I have a couple questions
I use CO2 in a canister/regulator/timer setup. I recently have read that CO2 should only be used in the growth period. I looked around 420 for clarification but could not find an answer to this: What is the growth period? Is there a time I should stop using CO2? I don't want to blast the globe with CO2 that is not going to be used so if there is a point I should stop, when is that?
Question 2: Are Garbanzo beans the same thing as Chick Peas? lol I want make some home made humus using some fan leaves for a cool flavor.
