I appreciate the feedback Jake. This year I will only be vegging inside for 6 weeks (seeds) so I might try the 14/10 light cycle. Good luck on your grow!
Awesome I really appreciate your feedback. It sounds to me like you would just skip the garden mix (it's top soil mixed with compost) and just add straight compost. So 1/2 coco and 1/2 compost?
My local nursery offers the following at a good rate;
5 Way Compost
This compost is our...
Thanks Kevin!
Do you think it's safe to mix regular soil with coco? The two mediums are quite different. From the research I have done people appear to think it is fine..? I just want to avoid having problems further down the line. I could invest completely in soil and remove the coco but I...
Last year I used coco in my organic outdoor garden. It was quite expensive for the scale I'm at.
I found some soil (simple garden mix, some dirt with compost) and compost for a lot cheaper, and this year I want to increase the amount of soil I have.
What are your thoughts on mixing 1/2 coco...
LOL! What the hell are you smoking I want some of that. Reduction in the amount of light is the same thing as the analyzing the amount of darkness.. You just said exactly what I said but you tried to throw in some scientific jumbo that the average user won't understand.
The trigger for...
I hear you covert..
I have been growing for 5 years I don't know how long you have but last year was the first time that this happened to me.
And if you do a quick search it happens to people quite often. You have gotten lucky so far just like I did, but this is a very real concern and after...
Yea like parrot said it sounds like its just a stress related event.. my only cause for slight concern was it didn't seem like you did enough to stress them out enough to hermie. I usually like more resilient strains. Im not familiar with that breeder but like I said you should be fine. If they...
That sounds like some great hybrids! I grew the ghost train haze #9 a couple years ago so I wanted to try the OG this round. I almost got the moonshine cut but I decided to save that for another day. I followed your journal so ill check in on you. Happy growing brother!
That is roughly when it begins there are a few more factors like the genetics. And yes usually you want to avoid the plant receiving 10 hours or more of darkness to avoid flowering.. however, many people have early flowering by moving an 18/6 or 24/0 plant outdoors where the hours are...
without knowing the source of the gentics its hard to say..
my uncle has used seeds from a hermie plant before and everything was great, all the seeds sprouted female too.
My opinion; throw them away. Not worth the time. But if you don't have access to clones or more seeds, I think you will be...
:clap:No s#$%!! LOL o_O
ttystikk,
Ill give you a quick cannabis 101 lesson..
Flowering is induced anytime the cannabis plant begins to sense a reduction in the amount of daylight hours. There are lots of people who have accidental early flowering outdoors by moving a plant at 18/6 or 24/0...
Yea that is the goal. I am going to Veg for a couple months and then move out around May 15th to May 25th which will be perfect timing when the light cycle is still increasing. Hopefully the 14/10 will avoid the early flowering.
Sweet thanks slow drawl I appreciate your insight!
Yea I got a greenhouse for protection luckily. I did the unprotected outdoor thing for one year and got destroyed by some crazy hail storms and early snow. :/ After that I knew I needed to save up and invest in a greenhouse. Thankfully still...
Yea last frost is usually around May 15th or so. I usually put them out around the 20th-25th just to be safe.
Like I said though last year some of my crop started to flower early June so I am worried about the plants flowering too soon. I want to do the 14/10 light cycle to be safe but I want...
Thanks for the feedback Covert.
Unfortunately that is not always the case. Last year my seeds were seized and I had to get some clones last minute. One of the batches of clones I got started to flower a couple weeks after I put them outside. That was the first year that had happened to me. A...
I am starting some seeds indoors to get a head start on the outdoor season. I tried to post this in the outdoor thread but apparently not too many people have indoor experience there.
Jorge Cervantes said that you can start growing your plants indoors while following the outdoor natural...
