if the conditions are right any plant will flower even super young. started some late squash/pumpkin this summer and they started shooting out blossoms and the plants are only a couple inches tall. Also there are many folks who go 12/12 light schedule from seed, you are correct yield will be...

Fantastic Thread, my outdoor plants just started exploding last week. Got a cold spell on the Front Range here in Colorado, think that helped kick the budding into the next gear.

I wouldn't count those chickens till they hatch lol. I'm pretty new too, but it seems like all it takes is some pests or mold and the whole operation is ruined!

Agreed, also less green is less plases for pests to hide. Plus it's easier to see early signs when the undergrowth is cleaned up some. I'm trying to prune any leaves that are in contact, spots for moisture and pests to collect.

I too use plastic sheeting as protection from eyes and weather. I've done a bit of internet searching with not much success. The best i could find was the super thin stuff (I use .3 mil) can block up to 10%. If the plastic has a uv blocking coating it seems like that would have an effect on...

I think this is a very important distinction. I have yellowing at the bottom too, but all other growth is green and healthy. The only leaves that are yellow just slowly fade to yellow and can be removed with little force, while all the growth around the yellow leaf is healthy and green from stem...

I'll try to post a photo of my outdoor ladies yellowing a bit. for me it happens in mid flowering through the end. However my yellowing does not look like that, it's more mellow yellowing, kinda looks like the plant is sucking the life outta it. It looks like one of the typical deficiencies but...

I'm near Denver in Colorado @5000ft and my 5 plants started to flower ( specifically pre-flower pistils showed) mid July. I just started bud site development this week. I have to stay a bit under a 6' privacy fence so I know about limited space, i have been just bending down the highest branches...

I used a MH for veg and HPS for flower. The ballast I was using has 4 settings(600,750,1000,1250) middle to end of flower I had the ballast on the 1250 setting. I've been lurking on this forum and have been planning my first grow for over 10 years, putting a complete grow setup together from the...

I guess with pollen you don't really need a "Father" plant, a small amount I imagine can last years, it's like talcum powder haha.

If females vegged for long enough show female flower parts, might a male vegged for that long also show male flower parts, possibly inadvertently pollinating your flowering tent?

The Vivosun light is ok, the ballast works, but had an issue with mine. they sent a new one out the next day but had to run to a hydro store that night for lights on. At first thought it was the lamp, so they sent a new lamp too. The ballast is a bit sensitive to voltage drop and has a respark...

Thank you very much!

I store my seeds in the fridge. just make sure they don't freeze and thaw too much, the moisture in the air could condense on a thaw cycle and cause them to germ.

How do those tomatoes do indoors? I imagine they will take as much light as you can give em lol

Looking great! Love that pvc net stand!

Cannabis seeds should be viable for much longer than a couple years. I had some seeds from an old school outdoor grower that traveled to 3 states and a decade and still had a germ rate of 90%. just kept em sealed up in a pill bottle in the crisper drawer in the fridge. Maybe I misread your...

My only experience, I topped after the 5th node. When the 5th and 6th nodes were just starting to grow out, I peeled the 5th node apart and just plucked off the 6th node. The 6th node was only the size of a pea or smaller. this seemed to work well for me, I vegged 6 weeks and all lower nodes...

I use an app called "Galaxy sensors" works for my phone to use the auto dimming light sensor to give a reading, my phone maxes out at 30,000 lux. With that limitation it's of limited use, but you can get the manufacturer's specifications, they usually give readings for a bunch of distances, pick...

how is your humidity? I found that keeping it in the 55-65 range promoted the most healthy growth. with temps being 75-80
