yea sorry if u didnt want me to post in your journal but temps sound like they are probable affecting budding i know it is for me i should have had tops like 2 weeks ago but due to cold weather i am have prolonged my grow sucks i still have it on 12 and 12 but not budding going on 3weeks and i know there is no light leaks

yea im pretty sure thats our problem too, so today i bought a small space heater from ace hardware for $25 and 2 timers in a pack for $10. So far since 5pm the temps have been constantly between 66-71.

By the way im flowering from 3pm to 3am now, changed from 5:30pm-5:30am, cuz of heat issues along with the need of the sun light when i water.

No problem posting in here at all, im MORE than open to have anyone leave input or criticism of any kind.

Just a quick question, do you guys have helicopters flying around with the FLIR or IR looking for grows in your area? Just saying be careful because I am sure that bad boy lights up like a big red button at night. Good job on your grow though, they look great. Im glad you got rid of that yellowing.

have seen helicopters and airplanes constantly, dont really notice if they are using flir or anything though, but then again i live about 5 minutes from a small airport. haha, i hope it doesnt, and even if it does, its all medicinal and not above the legal number. im glad as well, thanks for the comment. +rep

checked on the plants today,
temperature has been between 48-74,
humidity @ 65%
im guessin the 48 was after the lights went off, and the 74 was during the lights being on.

Please tell me what you think !

FYI: THIS IS ALL STRAIGHT FOR MEDICINAL USE!

im amazed.. your plants look really healthy for temps that low. I would expect some sign of cold stress from a plant that sat in a grow area that was in the 40's. If I were you, I would run that space heater all night. Get an extra one if you need to. Your plants should totally be showing way more flower at this point. I'm sure it is the cold that is stunting their progression.

By the way.. I FUCKING LOVE SHIVA SKUNK. It has the kind of high that still brings me the giggles, wonderfully accompanied by the obligatory perma-grim. I used to get it back in the day when it was just called Northern lights#5 x Skunk#1. I was stoked to see oaksterdam nursury start carrying cuts of this "shiva skunk". Enjoy those tasty little bitchs'.

more pictures from yesterday will be posted today. finally are budding a little bit

<LAST NIGHT>
im worried about the humidity. usually around 67-77% bought a large oscalating fan 16" and an air purifier cuz i couldnt find a dehumidifier. humidity hasnt really gone down yet, waiting to look when the light comes on at 3, but i have a dinner at 2pm, so ill check it asap.

looks like there was a gray mold on the top of the soil, we pulled the 6 out, and we removed the top lay of soil with mold on it, and it actually turned out to be a bright white color, i think i read it may have been the salts from the nutes? it looked like bone meal when we were removing it.

temps are good

looks awsome!

cant wait to see some buds! :weed:

orgnlmrwiggles · Mar 1, 2009

Pictures are from the february 26th.

shiva skunks are looking good. signs of budding FINALLY.

2 pot o golds having some leaves that are drying up, curling, dying.

i think its the air purifier we put in for the humidity, which is doing absolutely nothing for the humidity so it has been powered off.

humidity still goes up to 72%

temps have been good up to this point

orgnlmrwiggles · Mar 22, 2009

pictures were taken today. everything seems to be going smoothly, no issues, good humidity, water still damp from last watering.

Watered today with fox farm additives.
plants look to be doing well, temps have been getting pretty high up to around 80-90, i think im going to have to get an A/C unit soon.

We took out the 400 watt because our friend gave us a 1000 watt he had lying around so were now using the 1000 watt kiss-ass

nooo, its way to difficult to water in the confined space without splashing water on the leaves, so we pull them out to water, and its a good time to take pictures. thanks though

we have decided to put the 2 pot o golds and the unknown seed outside though. (3 smaller plants)
