Thanks for your response. Lots of wind every few days on average and the humidity has been dropping as low as 5% but the plants are tough as nails and show no stress in any way other than these three leaves on two of eight plants. They also get a fan on them every night. It's a deficiency but...

Same thing. Top dressed with ewc and Ancient Forest a couple of weeks ago. The mites moved around pretty quick and weren't interested in the plants so I think they were bug eaters. They and the gnats disappeared in a couple of days after drying out in the sun. My plants are very healthy so I'm...

Day 33, 5/8 Did the tea couple days ago, nice response. Great response from topping at fourth node. Dual top leaders are about 4" now and third node branches are about the same. About half of the plants third node branches (5") are bigger than the fourth node branches. Tallest plants are about...

I'm so happy I found Mandala Seeds for my first grow. After reading through their site I knew it was the grower for me. In one interveiw they were in one of their greenhouses that contained one thousand selected and seeded mother plants. Sheesh. Do yourselves a favor and read their site...

I agree. Unless the plants weren't healthy and the 24 hours stressed them further. And thanks for your answer to my original question. I'm not worried.

It also cooks the good guys.

I appreciate everyone's input. My Mandala Seeds plants can survive and even flower in 120 degrees but just wanted to consider other options. Trying to avoid ac etc. and deal with the local environment au naturel.

I have my plants on a 24/0 timetable and move them indoors for half of the time period. If significant, how do you align the plants in accordance to the sun's rays and the bend of the plant? I have just been "facing" them in the direction of the light.

Day 27, 5/2 Finally watered after 3 1/4 days. Very slight wilt during direct afternoon sun, 90 degrees. I'm not a fan of drying a plant completely out to force the roots to extend as I have read on this forum. Not knowing precise growing habits of cannabis makes for a lot of unknowns but it's...

Please keep to the main topic. I'm not interested in your side comments.

Seeds carry their own nutrients and don't require fert for a while. Start with Light Warrior and move into Ocean Forest or for a less hot soil use Happy Frog Potting Soil or equivilent. Depends on your strain. For instance, the particular strain I'm using doesn't require any extra fert for about...

They are designed to handle 100+ degrees but I'll get the ac. Venting to the attic. How about T5s(coral bulbs etc.) or some other side lighting instead of 600s? I do like big plants- cant' help it, I'm a horticulturalist, lol. But I would like to have versatility as methodologies may change...

Hi Phillip, I'm really enjoying this thread. Here's one for you; - Tucson area, hot, hot, hot - garage is over 100 in summer, humidity around 15% . - 7x7x7.5h or 6x8 home made closet, 1x1 or 1x2 framing with solid core insulation, thin outer plywood skin - north wall against interior wall, 6"...

Day 24, 4/29 Five plants in the 9" area, sixth node leaves just coming out. Other three are in the 6 1/2-8" area. The 6 1/2" one is the one that germinated the latest and is much smaller. They look very good. Picked up a 6" vented hood, 400 MH bulb, and a ballast that can be adjusted to 250...

I was in a very similar set up yesterday, made from Pods. Very nice. Completely set up they retail for around 36,000. Pharmpods.com

Taking pics but having problems downloading with new laptop, need to get someone to fix it. Rishi looks the same as the Krystallica but a tiny bit smaller. Both are looking very well and handling the heat very well.

Thought I'd ask. I'm having good luck so far with Mandala but want to see what else is available.

In answer to your first question, Black Gold castings also have 10% peat moss. Don't know why.

Outdoors; up to about 110+ in the hottest part of summer but usually 100+ to 110 during that time. Some "monsoon" weather around late July, August, early Sept., which breaks the heat a little but not much, with a spike in humidity. Humidity is usually around 10-15% during the day and 20% at...

I've been in the hort industry for about thirty years and have always been into soils and roots. Probably a good prof put that in my head, don't remember. Used to have a pretty large design/build landscape company, 10,000 square foot greenhouse and exterior nursery. I used to ship old turkey...
