Maybe not before harvesting. Here are some pictures from yesterday. Most of them were taken since I was showing a friend the nanner situation (since week 8 or 9 this plant has been throwing nanners so I've been plucking them to try to prevent seeding of other plants in my grow space.

in yugoslavia, life was better than now! everyone was working, had secure job, had homes, only thing you needed to give up was nationalism, freedom of speech, and freedom of political choice...

The struggle of the strong is temporary. Struggle can be necessary. We must strive to keep the human spirit/dignity intact wherever possible.
I'm sure you've heard of "making deals with the devil", it is very relevant in this case.

Bro, there are so many copies now that you can't tell where which variety is.

It makes me happy that you approve! Have 4 plants left in my tent to harvest. Taller sativa heavy GG#4 plants. Looking to be a nice yield from my 1000w HPS!
I am 100% convinced to convert to vertical growing this year thanks to your thread. I will definitely be posting later this year in this thread with my vertical grow!

Hi Bro !!!!! I'm glad to see you!!!Привіт слов’янському братові з Хорватії!
Yes, it was much better when Yugoslavia was united. When there were no national problems there, and no one bombed cities with children, women and old people. This can be easily replaced by a lack of freedom of speech! The main thing is that everyone is well fed and healthy, and no one worries about tomorrow !!!
What now? The question is rhetorical!
Hello brothers-Slavs !!!
very sad, but true!
I understand that wise people have gathered here! I am pleased to!

Yes, when you are ready, write to me, I will tell you how it will be best for you to do!
This is a very powerful light - you can see it in the buds. What brand of lamp?

Cheap model from one of the more common suppliers here in Canada. I have the ballast set to "super lumens" which should overdrive the light to ~1100w. The bulbs are cheap enough I can replace them more often if needed. I don't really worry about the power bill... I believe where I am now electricity is the same cost as it is in much of eastern Europe (~$0.08/kwh).
Here's this light https://www.growlights.ca/1000w-super-hps-bulb.html

I can't see - is this xenon lamp?
When you turn on the lamp, it immediately shines bright white.
))))
You will be very surprised, but if it is a Canadian dollar, then I pay exactly the same amount as you!
With only one difference - we have an average salary of $ 200)))))))))))))))))))
PS: After the Maidan, prices immediately doubled. Friends, Ukraine is already in the European Union)))))) Prices for utilities are the same as in Canada.)))))))) This is a very great achievement of the revolution !!!!!!
This is exactly the person for whom I was kicked out of the political forum here, who then ordered Poroshenko to raise prices! I won't say the last name of this person, because a formidable administration will come and make a complaint to me.)))

If your lamp has xenon, then when you start it, it immediately lights up bright white, and only then red.
HPS lamps with xenon are much more efficient. This is what I wanted to tell you.

I don't believe it is a xenon lamp, but it does first show white light for ~10-15 seconds upon startup before going to 2000k colour temperature. It is not fully lit while white though, and nowhere near as bright as once it gets to the proper colour.
No surprise to me on the electricity cost. Here it is very much linked to the cost of oil, which is currently low, and my area is rich in oil deposits. And yes the wages are much higher here, as are many of the other costs of living. Food and housing is very expensive. Electricity is one of the few things which seem inexpensive here!
In my opinion to have a nice life here with a couple kids where you "own your own home" (mortage), a vehicle, and live like what the rest of the world assumes north americans do, you would want to take home $200 a day ($6000/month) CDN after taxes. That can vary widely across the country.
When I lived in Vancouver my rent for a one bedroom apartment was over $2000/month... Of course for these reasons you can demand a higher wage, but the end result is often the same in savings and the stress is not worth.

HPS with xenon is usually more expensive than usual, but it's worth it.
Sounds like a struggle for survival.)) Only with a higher standard of living. Yes, it is the capitalist system that turns a person into a robot. As it was rightly said above, where there is a struggle for survival, there the soul fades into the background, animal instincts wake up ...
About that American politician, for whom I was banned here in that political branch.
Believe me, I'm not a troll, I just see and understand a little more. Usually, over time, everything falls into place, but then it's too late to hold a meeting and shout. It's like a crook - he first petted his victim, then robbed her. The victim does not understand anything for some time, thinks that she won something ... Well, then, when he realizes that they have deceived the fool, then hysteria begins.))))
Does CNN show it? Do the US newspapers write this?
Guys, I'm shocked that this is happening, I don't understand at all !!!

I'm looking at the bulb box. No mention of xenon. I'm sure if it had and it was beneficial they would be advertising it. It does say in various places on the box
"SUPER HPS"
"IMPROVED LIGHT SPECTRUM OVER TRADITIONAL HPS"
"FUSION BRIGHT SUPER HPS LAMPS ARE DESIGENED WITH ENOUGH VIOLET, BLUE, AND GREEN SPECTRUM FOR ALL PHASES OF PLANT PRODUCTION"
"PROVIDES 25% MORE LIGHT THAN COMPETITIVE BRANDS IN VIOLET, BLUE, AND GREEN SPECTRUM"
All reads as advertising vocabulary to me.
As to the question of what CNN shows, it makes me laugh because I do not disrepect myself enough to watch any CNN content. My critical faculties are still intact, and I refuse to subject myself to such a disgusting psychological operation which is completely tangential to both reality and truth.
I have read about the protests in various places online but gladly admit I do not have deep knowledge on the current event. It is a topic which is not completely relevant to my current life and I am limited in waking hours!

A 1000 watt HPS lamp with xenon costs about $ 100.
Bro, I would love not to talk about this, politics is not my element. But I have to live here, I see everything with my own eyes.
There have never been such protests against the United States in Ukraine. If I had been told about this a couple of years ago, I would not have believed it. People are already ceasing to blame Putin for all the troubles, deception on a global scale begins to reveal itself .... But this is also not good. Another revolution is possible ...
