    And now... Third outdoor grow early start:

    I forgot to say (chatting with a friend who grows fully LED reminded me) If you're looking at grabbing one or two HPS lights, I'd say consider trying one of the new LED lights. I've heard good things about the apollo LEDs (I love their tents), though I *hate* that they call them X watt bulbs...

    And now... Third outdoor grow early start:

    To make the (eventual) transition easier I run the 440w t8 during the day for (now) 15 hrs a day. Originally I was shooting for an in the ground date of April 25 without supplemental light so started them from seed on 14hrs of light. End result was too many slipping into flowering early this...

    And now... Third outdoor grow early start:

    Wow, apparently I can't count (and doing supplimental lighting last year REALLY through off my calculations.) I was all gung ho about putting the girls in the dirt at the end of this month, but forgot that I had to raise the lights on period inside from 14 hrs to 15 hrs due to an annoying amount...

    And now... Third outdoor grow early start:

    Sounds like a good plan, you *might* need to finish off the container ones sideways in the garage but that'll just be a fun wrench in your worst case scenario (the one up side about living in this part of Oregon is weather is by and large a non issue, knock wood!) Let us know what you think of...

    Help I'm a new patient and would like to find a grower?

    Really, if you're able to do so, buy clones and plant them in your (rear) garden out of view, by and large cannabis is ridiculously easy to grow outside if you don't over fertilize it (and then you'll spend the rest of your life fine tuning it.) If you need cannabis immediately, you'll want...

    And now... Third outdoor grow early start:

    Honestly from what I've heard Bruce Banner number 3 will finish in a reasonable amount of time (well, the 8 week pheno anyways) so you might squeak by without having to cover it... however considering where you live it would be ideal if you could give it some cover at the end of blooming to...

    And now... Third outdoor grow early start:

    Wow, I really am crap at updating these diaries... I've redone the "roof" and design of my southern exposure planting spot and my area to grow is now 7 ft wide x 22 ft long x 12ft tall*. *The roof is (in theory ATM) only covering (at most) 1/2 of the length's width of the plot (and half of...

    Fluorescent T5's -- Can they...

    The main danger of getting water on (properly installed) bulbs is the sudden shock from temp change, by and large don't do it. But you're safer on tubes than almost any other bulb. Though if nothing else, you're hurting your lumens ;)

    New ommp laws coming into effect

    (again, not a lawyer and haven't really read all the ins and outs since I'm medical) It depends on the person's situation. Say theoretically they own a small house in a residential area BUT don't live in it (or arguably at least don't live in it full time, so it's not their primary residence)...

    New ommp laws coming into effect

    No worries, just remember, I'm not a lawyer, so (always) check with a professional before risking life and or bank account ;) For a recreational permit, that's quite different, as long as the city doesn't have regulations restricting production of marijuana there is no reason they can't...

    New ommp laws coming into effect

    Sorry, the can't be visible unaided is the plants themselves (or the processing of the plants) if you're an indoor grower unless you do your trimming outside, that won't effect you. I'm a fan of sunlight so I overly fixate on that portion of the new rules as indoor my yields suck ;)

    New ommp laws coming into effect

    Do you grow for any number of people aside from yourself? If so, yes, you need to sign up for an account to report what you're growing, how much has been harvested, where it goes, etc (read the link there for the full text and search for PRMG. As a trade, you are allowed to have up to 6...

    Anyone else try to renew with just chart notes?

    WOOT!!!!!!!!! Or in other words, I have now successfully renewed with just chart notes and the OMMP's fee, no cannabis clinic doctor visit, just chart notes, a letter explaining my condition(s) for qualification and which page on the chart note they should look and little sticky clear arrows...

    To top or not to top when growing outside?

    Nope, none at all, really, there's more restriction on width than height. Last year in the garden the tallest of the girls was somewhere north of 12 feet (I want to say 14, but I never got out the ladder and tape measure) If it really doesn't matter on the end result that's a good reason not...

    To top or not to top when growing outside?

    TWS: Yup, I live in a state where people are free to grow, possess, and use cannabis (recreational and medically) MRS: Not a chance of going sideways, I have infinite height, but a very limited amount of depth and width (also I'd like to be able to get in to the garden ;) ) Vos: We still...

    To top or not to top when growing outside?

    Yup, I live in a free state and have a medical license, unless I end up with more than 71 more pounds from the plants I'm completely legal (state wise anyways)

    To top or not to top when growing outside?

    Ok guys, we're nearing the point where my (completely 100%) legal outdoor grow needs to either be topped or not and I find myself unable to decide. Topping (in theory) keeps the height down but that's not an issue here (and since I'm vegging for 8 weeks before putting them outside to veg a lot...

    And now... Third outdoor grow early start:

    Nearing the point where I need to decide if I want to top the girls for multi colas or just decide to let them go all natural like. This time around I might let them go naturally as it's always hard for me to cut/tear the plants, I really can't quite decide as my test of massively topped vs...

    What has happen to all OMMP people?

    Yup, you remove the branches from the plant then just strip the buds (I do this by hand fairly roughly) and add them to the container then rotate 4 times one way, then the other, then back to the first way. It's shockingly effective. It would likely work after you dried too, but you'd lose a ton...

    What has happen to all OMMP people?

    Hehehhehee, yeah, that's definitely a way to drop your carrying amount. I was planning on going the hash route for compression as edibles have a limited effect for me (they work well but only once a day, it's rather odd.) Not sure I'll successfully stop growing for a decade (might always...
