No matter how many watts you have in your garden, your focus should be on creating a temp diff between the root zone and the canopy, this diff should be 15 to 20 degrees.

when adjusting for temp & humidity, you should consider the heat index, there are several heat index calculators on the web. You should strive for a heat index that is 4 points above ambient.

I have never checked the soil temps on my grows but I do keep a pc fan that is blowing air from an ac unit directly on the bottom of my grow box keeping the planters and soil cool. They seem to be happier that way.

So a random question, you mentioned environment once. I live at sea level. At what altitude do you live at? I see it possibly being a variable.

I am awaiting your test kit as if it were my own. Thanks for all the info you provide Hog.

Currently shooting for the happiest plants possible, what else can one do?

Still no amber lol! So hog being a guy who liked to tinker U harvested all of my upper buds on a few Kosher plants. That was at 3 weeks ago at approx 75 days at 12. The trichs were mostly cloudy, hairs hsd receded, and all noticeable growth had stopped. Yes an early harvest I know but ran out lol. After harvesting the buds I refilled res and added growth nutes. Eager to see if there is a difference in the two but the growing buds wont turn amber lol. Is it, iyo, just a mater of time or is this one strain that wont change? Also I have an unkown strain (supposedly blue elephant :0) that is doing the same thing but has not been touched. I'm almost 100 days in, like to move things along :o.

Not sure what you are sayin/askin? I have not seen a strain that does make amber, but that does not mean they don't exist? and IMO a strain is done when it's done some take forever,,,, well it feels like forever

Hey Hogbud,
What's the deal with molasses? Apparently it'll turn shit frosty when used during flower. Is this for real and how does it work?

My source is one guy, in one post, somewhere on the inter-webs

Is frosty definitely what you want? Or are there other predictors of bud and medication quality during flower?

Thought it was a pretty straight forward question, sorry! Just wanted to know from your vast experience with waiting for amber to appear does 100 days for a highbred seem to long? Perhaps nutes? Perhaps lighting? Or is it normal? Is there anything that can help it along. 100 days seems excessive but never waited for amber as I assumed it mesnt degredation.
