Im glad ya made this thread dave!

i just heard that some dispensaries are opening up and the meds are free. but the papers cost 300 bucks. yes papers are mandatory. lol second hand news guys take for what its worth.


no word from hic yet???

This morning was the first ive seen my plants in two weeks. There all flowering really well. I didnt take any pics this visit but there all between 7 to 8 foot tall and looking fantastic. If the weather holds up its looking like ill have a hell of alot of bud this fall.
Its really cool seeing all the hard work and planning pay off.

Hey guys it is looking like my plants are going to finish late if at all. My White Widow was just starting to show white hairs last weekend. After being bummed for a couple of days I started to think of a way to keep the frost from taking them out. I can only tend to them on the weekend so putting something on and off everyday will not work. I have some heat wire that I took off the front of my house before I moved. It is real low voltage and puts out just enough heat to melt ice and snow around it. If I remember correctly it does not get very hot to the touch. I do not have it here in front of me to test it out. Will have to wait until Friday.

I was thinking of wrapping it like you would the lights on a Christmas tree. My plants are not very bushy since they got a late start in early June. I know I don't want the wire hanging all over the plant. It could add too much weight so I will try to figure out a way to support it like a tomato cage cut into a few sections. I would try to form a coil from the ground up to the top. I wonder if that would create just enough radiant heat to keep the frost off? I also have an extension cord with a timer that can turn it on and off in the morning and then in the evening.

Do you guys think this might help or does it sound crazy? Maybe it would be better to put the cable across the ground and top dress with something that will hold some heat but not damage the plants when I water. Perhaps that will give off enough rising heat to keep the frost away?

How many plants do you have? If you can run a cord to your grow then im asuming you could unplug it dayly. If thats the case I would get some cheap electric heaters from walmart and put them where they wont catch stuff on fire. Only turn it on when theres a frost advisery.
Just a idea(probably a dumb one)

Most plants can take some frost just not a really hard frost
Hope that helped

I think this is a warning sign to get your shit together. It is suppose to be 91 for the high tomorrow and by Monday night a low of 35 for me. So this weekend I go to work. I only have a couple and I am going to do whatever it takes to get them done. This is my third grow and my first outdoor. Everything I have done has been homemade. I used a MH ballasts from high bay shop lights. Bent my own aluminum reflectors on a brake press and coated them in white paint loaded with titanium dioxide. I converted a shower into a grow room. My first grow was bag seed last Spring. Then I did the White Widow from Nirvana with a few freebies, two of which ended up being Sativa. Each time I managed to come away with something. I am not going to let this be my first failure. If I have to make a little heat oasis to get it done in the North so be it. I am going to use the heat wire and one or two small space heaters on a timer. I think with some tweaks through September I can get through October and finish them up.

To be continued...

Now I just gotta pick out a couple of safe small heaters. I will post some pictures once I get it all together. I am about an hour and half South West of Onaway or the bridge "Mackinaw" for that matter.
