Hiya El Tio,
Thanks for commenting. Your plants look nice. Ive had my plants outside in dirt ever since their tap root cracked while germing them, so I didn't have a choice on light cycle. Plus I live in a valley so I get even less hours of light a day on my plants.
I wish I had the lights to veg them inside until they were 2 to 3 feet tall, but all I got is a single 50W HPS and that only covers 2 babies.
When I get the money I will start vegging them inside and then moving them outside when they get 2 to 3 feet tall. But still I'm limited to how tall I can veg them because they have to stay behind the BBQ so the neighbors dont see them. I dont have a huge lot of land like you do, and I got neighbors on each side and in back.

Yea, that's some expensive feed for cattle. My biggest pest is the spider mites. I got lady bugs that keep them in check by eating the small ones and the eggs, but the bigger spider mites I still have to kill by smashing them with my fingers while they are on the plant leaves.
I would be pissed if some cow ate my plant... I'd load up the paint ball gun and unload on the cows until I had a big smile on my face

K so I filled up a water bottle and started to spray the plants but then the lady bugs started to fly away so i stopped spraying the plants and found a few of the lady bugs that flew away and put them back on the plants. I know the lady bugs will eat the spider mites. I'm not sure what water will do to spider mites so Im going to stick with the lady bugs because they have been effective for 2 months now.
