Hi sober, i like your grow. Sorry to hear about your light :( what kind of nutes are you using?

Happy growing!
Thanks Zero Trans. I used a very mild mg solution once a few weeks back. That was about all I had handy at the time. Something happened to the leaves so I have been using plain bottled water since then. I picked up some Monty's Joy Juice 8-16-8 which I plan to use pretty soon for flowering. I've been using molasses on my outdoor girls and plan to try that inside as well.

I cut it down and am drying it. It was the tallest of my outdoor girls, and also had the smallest buds. The beaner was from some very seedy weed, but it looks and smells delicious. I am 99% sure that the other 4 are still virgin girls. They are from some much better buds. I will try to leave them another week, but the weather may not cooperate.

My babies are looking a little better in their new home today. I eill post pics later, gotta go to work.:weed:

The next 5 nights low forecasted temps are 42, 42, 38, 39, 40. I am thinking I will harvest tomorrow to avoid damaging or stunting them from the cold. Is this a good idea, or can they withstand several nights of cold like this. It is also a bit rainy so I am worried about mold. Any thoughts anyone?

Glad I did. It is cold out this morning. I think it dipped into the high 30's last night. I have them all drying out right now. The smell is out of this world.:weed:

I am still waiting on my hps. I should have a working 400w hps with digital ballast coming soon. I still am vegging these until then. They seem to be liking their new home, I am only feeding them carbs right now.
My small outdoor harvest gave me a little over an ounce of very tasty seedless buds. I am pleased, but would have liked a bit more. Oh well, first time creating buds anyway.
Here are some pics of kids in their new home.
The second 2 photos are my femmed white widow seeds. They had a later start than the bagseed plants, but seem to be catching up. They are the 2 on the right side of the front row.

A few more pics from today. Does anybody know why it says stranger under my name? I decided to give my lungs a rest yesterday and I have been using my vape almost exclusively. I had forgotten how tasty vapors are. Yummy. I will try to use it more often. It really seems to get more life out of the buds. :peace:

With that many plants, the 400W HPS should get you a few ounces easy!

I hope so. My light should be here tomorrow. I don't mind having a little extra time to veg them. Thanks for checking in on me ZTF. I will post some pics in a few days, but I think they are looking pretty healthy so far. Hopefully most of the bagseed plants will be girls. I guess we'll find out soon. Little sis, if you are reading, I can't wait to burn with you in Carmel.:peace:

There is no foil in my current setup. My light is about 12 inches to 18 inches from the tops of my different plants. Does this seem like enough distance?

put your hand under the lamp and feel the heat, if its hot on your hand its gonna be scorching hot for the plants, adjust accordingly.

Thanks bubada. I just got my hps today. I was using 8 cfl bulbs before. I think I may have it set about right for now. The 3 in the back row and the front left were started Sept 1, the 2 in the front right row are feminized white widow from amsterdam and were started about 8-10 days later. I just started my first 12 off, 12 on cycle.

It felt warm, not hot. I am reading about 80 on my thermometer. I will keep an eye on them to make sure they are not burning. Thanks for the tip UK.

I think they are really liking their new light. I think it has been 5 days now. Here are a few pics from this morning. I will give them water and carbs later today. I raised the light a bit and the temps are between 80 and 85.:peace:
I think they like it too! Looking very nice :)
