Dilemma: Flowers are at least 4 weeks from chop. Use my 'veg room' side of the closet 1 week for drying. Veg plants are currently 9 weeks old and coming up on 15" after topping, bending, and training. They are now a mess and have at least 5 weeks before I have anywhere to flip them. Which at that point I typically do an up-plant from 3 - 5 gallon pots and give a week for transplant stress before flipping. So that takes them to at least another 7 weeks of veg. Which would make for a 16 week total veg time.

Option A) keep cutting and training and hope I leave myself enough plant material for clones when it comes time to transplant them as usual.

Option B) take cuttings now, have less mature plants in 7 weeks and take a time penalty on next harvest growing out the new clones.

How long do you normally veg? If clones're healthy and rooted in 7 to 10 days, you should get 6 solid weeks of veg. I'd choose B. Less overall effort spent both now, and during flower when they would be huge and harder to manage.

Usually 6 - 10 weeks from going into soil, depending on strain. I do mainline training, which easily adds 2-3 weeks to my veg time. I tend to agree with you, especially given the amount of nutrients they'll drink in the next 7 weeks. My wife thinks I should chop and bend and have massive plants ready to flip on day one and just deal with monsters. I could definitely trim down and get a massive root ball for fat buds next go around.

The tallest branches are peaking at about 17" right now. Flowers at least 4-5 weeks out but looking really nice.

Could you get a u haul armoire box and use it for a makeshift drying room?

It's something to think about, odor becomes a big issue anywhere except in the grow closet because it has the exhaust fan connected to the carbon filter. Since I'm in the middle of a remodel I do have 2 rooms 'down' right now kind of being used as storage spaces, at least during the remodel while I learn this strain it might be doable. Have to see if the wife would agree to it, it would take a week of the time constraints.

We had volunteer tomatoes this year but none of them did anything other than get some sort of fungus..
My tomatoes got some weird fungus too this year. Normally I have buckets of them....This year was only a few handfuls that were edible. Cukes didn't do well either.

I stopped at a farm stand and bought a couple beauties' yesterday, but paid $3.99 a pound for them. Insane price for a farm stand!!!

Apparently I have to ship this one back and they're going to fix this one and ship it back to me so I'm waiting on the email for the shipping label :hump: :peace:
:( I was hoping they would just send you a new one and yours would end up on their refurbished paged.

You should come to beautiful tourist trap vt $3.99 sounds good.

They did say if it was what commonly goes wrong with the lights that they would fix it and then send it back but if it's something else that means I get a new one right it's all good as long as I get one that works still is one of the best gifts ever well for me at least :hump: :peace:

Fingers crossed that it's a quick turnaround. I'm glad they're covering shipping.

Little bummed tho, did you have anything in the new tent yet?
