Didn't wanta make a whole new thread but wanted to show everyone the method i use to produce meds. During the winter/fall i grow inside using the cold outside air to cool my room (2 x 600's) but this isn't really possible during the summer months and running an a/c is wasteful in my situation. So the last few years I've implemented light depreviation where you manipulate the long summer days to only be 12/12. This enables me to get multiple harvests out of one season and have a killer gpw. Also the sun is the strongest during july/august usually when the days are long. Shortening the days lets you take advantage of this. There are multiple ways to black out your grow area ( tarp, trash can, dark closet), i choose to simply move them to a light leak free area in my home with a fan, its easier to control the environment this way but its a little work lugging them back and forth Simple as that go out at 8am and in @ 8 pm. I only veg for 2.5 weeks and flower for 8-9, outside as well as inside. It's also a good idea to have companion plants to keep bugs away as well as trap plants that the bugs really like so u know you have a proplem approaching and take appropriate steps to rectify. Marigolds, mint, fox dill, geraniums, garlic all work well. This is only done during the OD season for prevention reasons. a sulphur burner works good for diseases (pm, bud rot! Big deal outside) . more info and pics to come. Theyre not necessarily recent pics. The product pic is of some dep'd plushberry from this year though, i think my indoors look a lil better. The strains are all off CL as i don't have the numbers to hold onto clones.
