It hit 109F today and was 97F at 9pm tonight. This heat is really making me feel lazy and lethargic. Fuck this sucks!

Sorry to hear bro hope it chills out soon
Tomorrows forecast is supposed to be a little hotter. This is the peak part of this areas summer. From what I hear this is going to be like this for about 2 to 3 weeks more. Brutal! My indoor plants are taking hit from this heat. I clearly can not grow in the summer indoors no more! Just have to make big winter grows. I already started to plan for my winter grow. I might run some Hazeman Seeds for the winter, Triple XXX.

already using 1000w HPS from the top, would it be better to use MH or HPS to sidelight? what do you guys think about the dual arc hortillux? is it worth paying double the price of a 1000w HPS? im starting to realize most of you are outdoor guys with free sun but any help or experience is always appreciated!! thanks :leaf::clap:

edit: which ballast would you use for the dual arc? 1000w HPS, 1000w MH, or the convertible 1000w MH/HPS?

i believe its an hps ballast. i dont use them. i just use reg hps bulbs. im not forking out that much money for a bulb. i get great results without the dual but u never know unless u try it. i honestly dont have double the cash for one bulb. u can get anouther ballast and just run a 400 mh in it or two 250 watt ballasts for side lighting. digital ballasts on ebay for a 250 r relatively affordable just get a couple of them and a few 250 bulbs. bulbs are about 15 bucks for 250 watt mh bulbs. u could just hang them vertical to save from getting more hoods. plus a few 250 mh when not being used for side lighting would be nice to veg a few plants out for a few good months. u can get about a 2-3 month vveg out of a 250 but wouldnt do more than that. all of which will cost the same as just that one dual arc bulb and can be used for many other things..

Sasha: She get 10 gallons of water a day. When its over 100F she sucks down all the water you see there, oh that pic with the water is only 5 gallons so she sucks that down and I give her another 5 gallons later in the day. I know I fucked up leaving her in a 7 gallon but next year will be different. I am learning a lot about outdoor growing.

I cant complain about how healthy the outdoor ladies are especially with the heat factor. I took 6 clones off my Fire OG and I took 5 clones off Sasha.

Well I am off to work now so I will have to water again on my lunch break.

Peace

Pretty cool F.M. I wonder if you could graft using the same method? Like put a branch of Sasha onto a MamaDude? Cool beans

im gonna try that once my moms are big enough. u think it can be done with rapid rooters? same concept right or do u think they will dry out to fast?

The problem I see with that method is the weight pulling the branch down. A least my plants would, they live a pampered low wind life!

from what i read you have to keep it moist. dropping water on it occassionally. i dont see why rapid rooters wouldnt work just as well as long as you keep them moist
