Visitors to the grow space!?

just a thought, but imagine the herb growing outside and it has a few days of dark skies cloud cover bad weather hardly any light, shouldn't mess with them.

Another thought to consider - (I'm going to quote a previous post of mine from another thread from few days ago about extending the veg period outside...)

When the plants receive complete darkness, an auxin starts to build, when the night is longer(12hrs), this auxin builds to where it passes the threshold for the plants genetics to flower. So, if you were to interupt them in their complete darkness with a light on them even for 1hr during the night like mentioned above, emedietly these auxins are broken down back into the plant and it never reaches that flowering threshold that is encoded in the genetics to flower with long nights.

So, as long as the dark cycle length continues to be above that 12hr flowering threshhold, they will stay in flowering mode for when you put them back in the grow room. It's not about the light they measure, it's the length of the dark period that an auxin builds up in the long nights that keeps them in flowering.

(If you run negative pressure environment in the grow, it will be impossible for smell to get out.)

Give those calaxes plenty time to swell......they will surprise u if u let them.......

It's a large 3 bedroom apartment but it's mainly my dad. He likes to know what's going on/questions everything etc. I'm going to pull the plants and put my broccoli in there while they're here the first night. Then show them and do the ol switcheroo the next day and lock the tent if possible haha

"Whatcha do'in?" LOL!

SOOO right!

Decades ago it was the devils playground.....Pop's gone now but, mom.....She likes to take a look at them when she comes over. Likes the plant and understands the medical....Friends at the village (where she lives) and a relative use(d) it for various medical needs and opinions changed. She enjoys the look and the differing smells they have growing.

That Farmer in her re-surfaced (they were farmers).....She's 88 and Pop made 93. He's been gone 3 years now. She keeps needing to come back to the farm and re-live memories....... I'm taking her up to Aurora Canada later this summer. She (and dad's family) spent the depression there. Most of her side of the family is from there. Mom met pop there when they were 12 and 17, in school. Once the depression was over. The 2 family's moved back to our state. Ended up the family's farms were only 30 min away. They all stayed friends and after Pop came home from WWII they went to college together, got married and went back to farming on Mom's family farm. I live there and run it organic now.
The 3 farms on mom's side in Canada, were left to me as the only farmer left in the famdamnly. They are leased out. 1 was bought by the Canadian government to run a CN train line across. Then they turned around and paid us to keep farming it. The family that was leasing it, Bought it from us a few years back and still runs it - they get the Gov. sub now.

Gosh you brought back memories.....Thanks.....needed that today!

Lol, that's a very poor example, even on cloudy days they are getting more light than some of the CFLs people around here use directly above their plants. If the sun's up, they are getting light.

CFL's rock. What'chew'talkin'bout'Willis!?

No, they generally suck for anything but cloning and early veg. They might grow plants, but I've yet to see nice tight, dense nugs from them. They are always airy, even the "better" buds I've seen people put up as examples don't compare to led or hid grown plants. They just don't have the intensity needed.

Your plants look nice, but I can tell the buds aren't as full as I would be looking for at 7 weeks.

They'll be 7 weeks on Wed, Agreed. I'm going to hone my skill some and next grow wil be full cobs. Nice ass little setup. When I get a house and my fiancé isn't up my ass about it hahah

Hey, I guess it's the site, but everytime I was in here I didn't see any pics, now suddenly your pics showed up on my screen, just seeing them and..

They look good man. Nice structure I like what you've done on those girls. I see now what you're worried about. just keep those 12+hr auxins pumped in the plant and they should continue right on flowering no stalling when back under the lights.

You sure this is your first time? Who taught you to prune? Those look better than mine and I've been at this for 15 yrs

Very nice man, buds are stacked!
Should probably start getting those N levels down some.
Looking good!

Hey I really appreciate that man. Seriously. A lot of people told me not to prune or to not take too much. But they were SO bushy. Insanely bushy. I pruned FOUR times. Twice before flower and twice in flower. I also took way too much each time (maybe 20-30% lmao). I just felt like they were healthy an Le could take it. And they didn't skip a beat. Being new I'm still on the fence about a lot of techniques (pruning, flushing, etc). I have no experience so I can only go with what I see and research. I pretty much did it because I had too. The last prune I did Was a lighter one just to free up the colas a bit then I let them go. Underside gets good airflow due to them being mainlined so I was content once they fit in the tent finally hahaha! It's only a 2x2x4...

Thanks!! Yeah I've been trying but I only have a single Bloom formula. I went too heavy on the pk boosters early in flower as well and I think it locked out and showed an N tox. It's only a couple fan leaves (larger ones) but they do sometimes look dark green... I dunno. I dunno what I'm doing lmao

LOL!!!

So if I shove them in an attic closet does air matter haha. I feel like it does. I can't just close the door and leave them? Won't they suffocate in there? Heat aside just talking about oxegen pretty much
