You can also tell which plants stay inside all day (Notice the blueish leaves) My plants do the same thing if they don't see the sun. My T5 will make some dark blue fan leaves.
Those look (Mg) deficient for the stage they're in, I'd feed them a little Epsom salt
I used to do that..
Good luck... I doubt you will get any qualified answers here as nobody here frequents the street scene..
lol
I clone every female I get. I usually keep a mother or two going all the time. Way mo bettah than seeds.I used to do that..
You are probably spending anywhere from 2-5 hours a month moving your plants.. (2 min in morning, 2 in evening =4 minutes a day is equivalent to 2 hours a month).
Assuming you are running the same setup that Kalo is....
If you have the plants out for 10 hours a day (maximum optimum sunlight) that means you are only saving 20.00 (.192KW x .35KWh x 10hours x 30 days)...
LOL you would have be earning less than minimum wage for that to be worth your time...
I understand that the sun is a better source for vegging but if you take into account the numbers of days per year that are cloudy or rainy, I think it ended being a losing proposition for me...
On a side note:
The system of vegging inside and flowering outside is one of the best systems for growing here in Hawaii (if you have a med card and somewhere to grow outside). The year round temperate climate and strong sun make it ideal for finishing plants.. Obviously you can't really get too much vegetative growth outside when you are growing in short season, so the supplemental indoor grow is necessary.
I'm really shocked how many of you are not working with clones.. Everyone in Cali is cloning.. you get your keepers or some insane strain and you are holding onto gold..
We've been blessed here with growing... Especially if you are using clones instead of growing from seeds all the time.. I don't think some of you realize how much time and $$ you are wasting starting from seed every time... A clone takes about a 1/3 less time to veg and about 1/2 the time to flower... Clones are much more compact... You don't get the undesired stretch..
I use a 7 watt cfl for clones (that's 1.62 month)...
I consider moving the plant in and out each day a form of exercise...lmao. For the cloudy days they stay inside. Another benefit (for my situation anyways) is it can get a little warm in my indoor veg space during the summer, the outside temps aren't nearly as brutal.I used to do that..

He must have gotten sucked through the wormhole that opened up on 12.21.12. He's probably token up some of that killer JTR with his new alien pals...lollol
what ever happen to that guy? he was one real space cadet i tell you. he was trying to say he was one alien and shit. lol not lying brah. lol I wsih I copied and saved that thread to my notepad. was one crazy story
lol !! I'm on a mission to dig that thread up and post it on here.
Ho Brah...i hope you find it! I'm a big fan of absurdities...lmao! I miss all the rantings from Tardis.
Lol, It's kinda tough when I dont know anyone to get clones from. I took clones of everything I started in February and im flowering out the moms so I can do a taste test. I've been just trying to find my keepers this year and hopefully by the end of next month I will have that all sorted out and I can get some bigger girls out in time for the summer.
