Florida Growers Thread

[TheRuiner]

Yea, I know, we could help each other out so much if we didn't have to risk so much to share our seeds/clones/buds, it's really a shame. This is a perfect example of how sad it is when the law is truth instead of truth being the law.
Clearly the only thing wrong here is the law. Maybe one day we'll all be able to share and help each other out like I'm sure many of you would be kind enough to do.
This is the new American freedom fight. Instead of throwing tea in a harbor, we're all just growing a plant in protest. Shame on all of us for being gardeners. some regular Bonnie and Clyde's we are... jeesh....

It's really ridiculous. Big brother needs to just.... how can I say this kindly... Fuck off.

If everybody in the Government is as "religious" as they say they are, then they can't deny that their god could do anything wrong. And by making a plant that is essentially harmless, has never killed a soul, and never caused somebody to "go into a crazy murderous spree" like they tried to say so long ago, then they can see that this is a good thing. It's just fucking politics that makes it illegal. He who has the gold makes the rules. Fuckers.

nobody has every gone crazy smoking too much weed, whats the worst that happens? you fall asleep way too early? you forget where you parked your car? you empty your fridge? I'm not saying that potheads are the smartest people in the world but we/they have no intention of hurting anybody or doing anything seriously stupid.

Progress Report. Day #13 of my outdoor grow. Both plants look nice and healthy, leaves are looking good no color distortions, except the cotyledons of the bigger plant are starting to turn a little pale, but that's natural in my opinion. The bigger one was a little top heavy before, its stem seems to be thickening. The little one, despite being dormant has absolutely no flaws to my knowledge yet. If anybody notices anything can I get some feed back.

I love getting up in the morning and seeing just how much my little girl grew overnight! She popped four new leaves overnight. She's gonna be nice and fat I think!

i'd recommend Nirvana. Got my seeds in 6 days

 

[RastaMonsta]

my whole thing with nirvana is they dont do the pick and mix thing. what is ur germ rate? do u buy regular or feminized seeds? is the shipping guranteed?

 

[TheRuiner]

I have ordered from Attitude in the past, had it shipped to a friends house.

I'm sure it's been brought up, but how do you guys cool your rooms/setups? what are your fan/cooler/air conditioning methods to fight this crazy ass heat?

 

[MakinProgress]

First of all, plenty of air conditioning in the house I try to keep it around 72 inside at all times.

My box gets pretty hot though, so I've got two PC fans on it to keep it cool.

I think my thermometer is way off though because it feels room temperature in the box, but reads much higher sometimes. I'm going to buy a new one today to see if it's just broken or if my temperature feeling on my hand is broken

 

[TheRuiner]

What about one of these things, any of you gardeners in the sunshine state have any experience with these things?

I'm busting at the seems to know how well they work, I'm ready to find a cheaper way to cool my 3x3x6 tent besides running a 8,000 btu ac 24/7
I just wonder if this thing alone could do the job if I got a good chiller and a large res.... tapping into central ac is not an option right now..

I think my hands temp monitor is broken too, i put my hand in my tent about the same height as the plants and it feels great, but it reads 84 on the thermometer. I thinking that it doesn't take wind chill into account maybe because with that nice breeze blowing things don't feel hot at all around my ladies.

Hmm... good point.

I just checked and was reading 82, but it still feels nice and cool in the box to me.

Anybody know if I should be aiming for lower than 82? I keep seeing conflicting numbers.

I read that you start to see growth stunted @ 85 degrees warm and 65 degrees cool... 65-85 being the tolerable range (per strain) and 75 (dead middle) being the most ideal.
I can manage a range of about 71ish - 83ish from day to night, and though I'm spending more than i want to cool it, I see these temps working out great for me so far.
Pray my ac doesn't blink out!!!

 

[MakinProgress]

Do you have any thoughts on getting it a bit cooler?

I could add another fan or two onto my current set up and be okay, but I'd like to avoid doing that for now.

any of you guys grow outside?
