Very nice Tead. You really upped your game this spring. Rocking the boat- making the rest of the herd restless...

I discovered today that my veg area might get warm in the summer - all that heat from the flower area next door.
Here in Roscobel, we are just starting the mixing of strains. We have harvested 5 of 10 strains so far
It's a great night for Dancing. Tomorrow we get to sample a little cajun music from downriver.
Its beautiful in your garden, Tead! And your stash is beautiful, as well. It must be wondrous to have such an array. I love to always have at least some sativa and some indica. I just love that all inclusive high, mind and body.
I'm really glad you're digging your light upgrade. Its amazing what a bit more photos will do, eh?

Thanks!
So... some evening ponderings that have accompanied my 50/50 mix of DDA and OGK... man they complement each other well.
First, I relocated the temp probe for my AC unit. It was clipped to the outside of the cooling coil grid as designed. I unhooked it and just fed it thru the front grill and left it hanging in front of the unit kind of down near the intake area. My AC had been kind of short cycling with lots of short shots rather than longer cooling runs. Now, it's running in much longer runs with more time between. Additionally, temps are down. Why had I not tried this before?!?!
Secondly, I'm super digin mixing the Indicas and Sativas. The amazing array of genetics in my garden really makes it all very possible. OGK, UD, PC, Crit+, KaliAK, and a new Northern Lights seedie. Add to all that the recently harvested autos and the strain count hits 8 with a few phenos of some. It's a crazy damn mix and I'm probably forgetting one or two strains.
Thirdly, some of the plants nearing harvest have been fully grown under the increased lighting. Bud density has easily doubled since the lighting was improved. So happy.
It's a happy world in Tead's garden. Every summer gets a bit better. I'm almost at the point I prefer the stability and predictability of the hellish summer heat rather than the crazy winter fluctuations. When I consider the journey my garden and I have traveled together over the years, I dig the dance.
My sweetie and I were going to go catch the Lost Bayou Ramblers (a local favorite) out in one of the burbs at a food fest, but it appears the little rag top girl (mini cooper) has an upset tummy (dead fuel pump) and awaits some attention from the local mechanical physician... so the dancing stays in the back yard this weekend.
You touched one of my favorites there. I sing it often as I cruise thru the Qtr. I like the truth in the line "you can't dance and stay uptight".
Your raised heat in the veg area may be an advantage actually. I know that I like to keep my veg area a few degrees warmer than my bloom room target. It actually may be one of the reasons my clone program is so damn easy. Of course, the heat generally over-rides any attempt to hit a temp target in my world... but that's a different story.
Thanks Laz. Every year my little dance with the thermometer gets a bit better.
I've been really digging the "all inclusive high" mix lately. Sativas haven't traditionally done well in my world, so including them in the mix has been a real treat. When you mix the Sativa mind high with the Indica body hit, it's just wonderful.... making getting high something fresh and new for a very old, generally Indica smoker.
This morning's mix... and yes, a messy desk is a sure sign of a creative mind. Dark Devil (Sativa leaning component) and OGK (heavily Indica).
Got some Pineapple Chunk in the dry box screaming to join the mix.
Thanks. It's not often I get a chance to rustle the herd. I might mount a steed and charge the herd some this year. I mean.... hell... if you can't pump out a plant better than Tead's sweat box, you might have to reconsider your methods some.
It's kind of a drag that all the plants that have been sucking up all the new lumens have also had to deal with higher summer temps, but it should really pay off come fall. Next winter could bring some really impressive plants when you add up all the changes and additions.
Of course, I blather on with wonderful words that paint rosey pictures... just begging for some tragedy.... a bug invasion or AC killing power outage. Best keep my head low and a peeled eye for bumps in the path.
I smell a new thread on the wind.
Go ahead, I dare you to shift that mindset to joyfully anticipating wonderful outcomes. I no longer allow myself to consider that things are going too well, so watch out for that impending disaster. I just happily bounce along expecting greater good to come along, and amazingly it does.
Your garden look fabulous. It'll keep doing that regardless. You've upped the game and it's gonna pay off.
I'm going to be thankful I have a new AC unit in the bedroom this week. Venting into the room I draw from is its own challenge. Temps can quickly shoot through the roof here.
If you're in the gulf stream states, be careful of ice building up on your AC unit and clogging airflow. You can break it off carefully when it forms like old ice boxes, but the newer AC units use very thin aluminum fins and they are so easy to bend. Bend too many and you again loose airflow.
Sub'd!
Digging the bag clone method.
Kudos!
Sometimes I think I'd like to have a comfort of stable indoor temps in the upper 80s... but so far we're pushing toward mid 90s
Will supplemental CO2 help with increased heat?
