Have any of you with supplemental lights outdoor taken them out yet? I'm thinking about taking them down in a few days
Anyone cut lights yet?

I rarely dis-agree with JJ, but I do disagree with him here. We're getting 14 hrs and 17 minutes of sunlight, not counting the pre-dawn light, and the post dusk sunlight. And getting almost 2 minutes of extra sun every day. I've ALWAYS had my girls in the ground by May 20th with no issues. I'll have my garden in by tomorrow and I anticipate NO issues. Now if your going from 18/6 indoors to outside, there might be an issue, but I had a light over mine since March. Light comes on @ 5:30am, then off @ 7:30am when the sun can take over. They come back on @ 6:30pm and off @ 8:30. That's a 15/9 schedule. I was up and outside working @ 5:15am, and plenty of light to see at that time.

I got the bees nest about that time today. Had about 5 bounce of the face mask. Thing worked awesome. Highly recommend a bee suit for every one! No pics or video though sorry. I was tired and forgot.

nice fish bro
I wrote that on the 12th, my suggestion was that he wait a couple weeks which would put it to the 26th. You are saying the 20th.....that's only 6 days difference.....I think we totally agree

Years past I've made my own soil.
This season I bought my soil in bulk.
Empire Builder by Sanctuary Soil. Then I add 4 cubic feet of Perlite, 2 bags of Worm Castings, and 2 shovels of Dr.Earths "life" 5-5-5 fertilizer to every 200 gallon smart pot.
Here's some info on the "Empire Builder" soil. http://sanctuarysoil.com/empire-builder/
