It would be ideal for me if I didn't have to go into a dark basement with no power. They're only nine days into flower, is all this stuff about not interrupting light cycle during flower a myth.

View attachment 4456210



Our power is really stable here. I don't think it has gone out for more than a couple hours in the past five years. Even during the big ice storm a few years ago when everyone lost power, we were toasty warm and well lit.
I've interrupted light cycle many times and I've not had herms from it. I have had herms from unstable plants who rodelized to easily even in a stable light, climate and nutrient environment. But that's anecdotal. Plant hormonal shifts take a pattern and time to happen. These plants evolved in unstable nature where they had cloud cover etc...

Anyway get the lanterns the plants will think it's a cloudy day and I don't want you falling down in your basement. I'd miss you around here.

i gotta find a new house....
my boss closed the restaurant they were running, because they're getting too old to do it anymore, but that gives them nothing to do and too much time on their hands, so they decided they'll manage the apartments themselves, and they intend to install a laundry where my little house is now....
so after 13 years in the same place, i have to move.
it's not the end of the world, but it kind of feels like it at the minute. after the fire we had a few years ago, rental properties aren't thick on the ground. i may end up having to move a town over, or out into the county....again, not the end of the world, but i have to go find a place where i can feel comfortable growing, and living...
oh well, i'll update as the search goes on. i don't have to be out till march first, so i got 6 weeks or so to find something.
Sorry Roger, that has to suck.

No but thanks for asking. I'm sorry for making you feel sad.

I'm a fuck up. You can all see it. Wish I could too. Sorry for drawing all that attention to myself. My problems run very deep.
We're all fuck ups battling daemons and trying to figure life out, you're definitely not alone. Seek professional help, it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Just as the light is about to go out, exclaim in the plants’ earshot “oh my GAWD it’s an ECLIPSE!”
That should prevent bad behavior on their part.
Lol I think along those lines when I temporarily unplugged the lights... don't worry guys it just cloudy for a minute.

I've interrupted light cycle many times and I've not had herms from it. I have had herms from unstable plants who rodelized to easily even in a stable light, climate and nutrient environment.

I picked the lights up yesterday before your reply... I wasn't worried about falling down in the dark, more so the scary monsters that live under the stairs in the dark. :shock: It says the lights will run for 100,000 hours on three AA batteries. I could get 100 of them and go off the grid for lighting. :mrgreen: I have no idea what the spectrum is.

Lots of people having a bummer 2020 so far. Sorry Roger.

I hope you find a place that, once the unpleasantness of relocating is behind you, has you thinking “this place is even cooler”. Good thoughts in your general direction.

Moving sucks, but hopefully it ends up a good thing. Good luck with it all

You’ve always been chilled bro
This is just my 2 cents on your situation I’ve noticed a few post like this one. I hope you can resolve em swiftly your a cool mofo
No one thinks or see’s you as a fuck up these are your feelings/issues you have towards yourself. Because you are focusing on these feelings/issues (which aren’t true, thinking about things to much will make you think there bigger issues then they really are) you assume we are too not the case I just see a good bloke hurting. It’s ok to feel like shit it’s part of life don’t beat yourself up to much about it mate. I know reality and these forums are two very different things but you always conduct yourself well on here. I’m pretty sure in real life you would be a good bloke to.
I would suggest talking to someone to work threw your problems, you get one ticket on this planet don’t waste the ride on depression.
It’s like a jail sentence it will eat you up if you let it.
I lost my 4 best mates to a car accident my whole crew I ran with since I was 5 years old gone and my favourite Uncle died of heart failure 2 weeks later. This was a bad time in my life because everyone that I looked to for guidance and bonded with was gone. I was alone and it scared me more then I’ll ever admit. I dealt with it buying eating a lot, working a lot, drinking a lot and taking a lot of drugs. I put on about 100 pounds I spent the next 5ish years repeating the same shit. I don’t really remember the first 2 years of my daughters life I was cooked. I’m doing well these days, I struggle to bond with people in the real world still but I’m trying so my kids get socialised properly Ive only got 40 pounds left to lose as well. If it wasn’t for my wife running the admin and tax stuff my business would of gone bankrupt. Her and the kids got me threw I owe them everything.

Precisely, even if they were in veg, a few extra hours of dark won't trigger flowering. In flower it doesn't hurt at all unless you are talking days without any light.
Fuck, I've thrown veg plants away and had the lid of the trash can on for DAYS. Open the lid and those fuckers have grown in the dark trying to come out the damn trash can!

I'm really sorry everyone. Sincerely sorry. I didn't mean any harm. I have to go now.
Hey man, I was gone awhile and don't know ya. But if you're cool with these people, you're cool with me!

I know a lot of us here have gone through some SHIT and would never judge you for having a rough time right now. Happens to the best of us.

If you ever need to just talk or vent my inbox is always open. I'm sure that goes for a lot of folks here. :)

On a lighter note...I have been working towards a back friendly way of watering the girls. I picked up a new 5 gallon bucket to mix nutes and pH my water in that I'll leave in the grow room. I have a hose nearby the door so I can just fill it without moving it. I have an old pond pump I am hooking to an old shop light so I can switch it on and off.
Got a call today that a referral is in for me to go get another MRI prior to visiting my Neurologist to establish a plan of action with my back. Most likely I'll be getting shots again. I'm basically my wife's lifeline with her being dependent on a walker, so I can't be sidelined for long.
Buds and suds time.

@Mitchician as others have said, hang tuff . We’re here for you if you want to talk. I have dealt with depression for a long long time. And I don’t socialize very well but this community has been great for me. So I guess what I’m saying is if they put up with me, you should do fine here. One thing that did help me a lot of good was I read a book on psychology and I found out that I was very text book depressed and it was like the damn book was written about me, so maybe there’s a book out there for you, whatever is the issue the solution is possible.

Hey bro, I don’t know your situation but as others have said hang in there. My 10yr relationship ended in September and last Friday my house was broke into. Son is doing his 3rd stent in jail. I don’t really deal with depression but life hasn’t been kind, to say the least. This place is awesome, has some really good people with lots of wisdom. Oh, good weed too :weed: keep your head up brotha.

Suffering is part of being human and something we all share.

I am grateful for my RIU friends. :hug:
