well good afternoon gents... i dont think i have been able to properly introduce you to all of my ladies as well as myself so here we go...

first shot is of the full flower space. 4x4x8 plywood boxes i built, painted insides white, and called it a dayfull room.jpg

this here is big MK ultra... she is about 2 weeks in and has been a victim of a 2 week stent of 100+ degree heat stress... lets hope she actually gets bigger

below is another stressed little lady... this was a green crack clipping i picked up from a co-op. i got it in soil and it immediately yellowed and shed all of its leaves. it was bare sticks with tiny little specs of what looked like growth in the nodes. so i left it be and after about 2 months she sprouted her first full set of leaves again. i maintained her until it was big enough to give cuts, and took what i could, tossed her back in veg for another month then into flower.... VEEEEERRRRYYYYYYYY SLLLOOOWWW growing....

this little dude is a clipping i took from my MK mom and shot directly into the flower room... i believe we are mid to late week 5 on her.

and this lady ive shown you guys a couple times... this is NYC diesel. i Love this strain and have had nothing but luck with how she flowers. always massive colas and never really much bottom waste buds.

this one is Pineapple Chunk... havent had a chance to taste a flowered one of this strain out of my room but ill be sure to smoke a post report.

so now im betting your all like.... what the hell... why does this dude have so many heat stressed plants... well.... funny story...
decided i wanted to expand my growing area a bit. not much... but a 10x 10 outdoor shed, split it down the middle and had a veg and flower inside the thing. panda filmed the insides at first, 1K lights on both sides on movers in sealed hoods pulling outside air from under the shed, through lights and back outside... had 2 portable a/c's to cool this whole thing down... etc etc etc.... good set up... didnt expect the heat wave... so outside my place peaks at over 100 this past summer... not normal.... even with both of those a/c's cranking full time, shed wasnt insulated so it was useless... brilliant person i am.... i insulate that entire effing shed... every corner, crevice, crack, nook, and cranny... all R-19 insulation... that worked... for a bit... the 2 portables just couldnt keep up with that room. that was my collapse. i fought the heat 2 weeks, my plants were about dead, my electric bill came and it was over a thousand dollars.... needless to say, lights got turned off and never fired the 1k's up again. ladies went back into the boxes i built, and that is all she wrote... lesson learned.. i didnt need to grow any more than i am able to in the boxes anyways. think that was what i get for wearing britches a few sizes too big i guess.

There are no ill effects runing seedlings from 12/12 from the get go, imo.
And/ There are no ill effects in reveg, imo. I am doing exactly this just now. i.e just slung in a few seedling that popped up 12/12 and are now in 18/6........


@ dst, does running seedlings on a 12/12 cycle for the first 2 weeks do any harm?? i.e when they are then switched to 18/6 or 24/0 to start vegging is there any ill effects, like you would get with a reveg for example?? or wil they just pick up and run ??

dst- are you doing that as an easy way to sex the little things or have you seen some kind of vigor or boost running 12/12 seedlings.

personally i was taught not to reveg unless its your last of a kind. i of course know more than i was taught then i realize the actual consequences and plant reactions. only ever revegged one plant, golden goat from a 9 week chopped plant. saved those genes but noticed it never truely grew the same after that.

just looking to learn from some older folks, been doing this for 8 years but im not even 30. wisdom come from those who've been there

I am not sure why a plant that has been revegged (i.e it has gone through the basil leave stage then the onto normal growth) would not produce as before, if it's taken through this reveg stage and then back into normal growth...in my experience anyway. I have not seen any difference in the end product of a plant that has gone through this treatment. The genetics have not changed in my eyes......
In the end, I think you got to go with what works for you.

Right on bro... I'm only 3 years ahead of you anyhow. Funny though because you've been growing 4 years longer than I.

Just wanted to tell you guys something I saw at Home Depot today. Was a meter type thing, next to the timers, that you plug whatever into and enter info about elec costs in your area, and it tells you how much the thing plugged in is costing you. Thought some people might be interested. Cost $30 I think. I'll find a link if interested. Nope, couldn't find a link.

Also this is something really cool I saw on facebook... thought you all would get a kick out of it. Dude makes are out of books using surgical tools... you should check it.

looking into both thanks. whatever age or experience level we are we can all learn from each other if we just smoke those egos away.

It is my unproven hunch that revegging unstable genetics can lead to hermies. I've got a bit of firsthand experience with that lately!

I noticed some lights out and saw a breaker thrown on a power strip and turned it back on. They were out again within 30 minutes. Since the power strip and the timer were new I traced the problem to a 600 transformer. The un-used 400mh has come in handy until a new transformer, hood and hangers arrive. Problem is the room is full of flowering ladies who need all of the light they can get and the 600 and 400 together are not quite enough-as there are normally 2-600's to fill the 4 1/2 X 5 1/2 area. Have you ever noticed that needed parts break at the start of a week-end and no hydro store within 200 miles.:roll:

:peace:

Shitty cof. Hopefully you can get parts soon to light things back up.

Thanks for the assist chaka. The one at HD looked different, but same thing.

EDIT: Jeez cof. Ain't it bed time yet? I'm going off myself, and it's still Friday here. Have a good night my friend. And all my other friends too.
