I am pretty new to rollitup and just wanted to introduce myself to your wonderful cannabis community. I am honered to be a new member. I have been growing cannabis for over 21 years. I still grow my own but almost strictly for the production of concentrates. For the last three years I almost strictly experiment with different concentrates. Mainly bho types. Sometimes I "winterize" with pure organic ethanol after the vacuum oven. Depending on the application. Blah, blah, blah I could go on and on sorry. Just glad to be here! Hopefully I can teach some of things I have picked up, and likely learn some new teks, and pick the brains of other cannabis lovers like me. Hope that didn't sound as corny as it felt. Lol. Peace Kid Kannabi5 out.....

Here an update of my second grow. First flowering grow lol. Not sure how far along they are but I member told me I had about 6 weeks to go. I lost track of time during start of flowering becouse of Beatle borers cut my stalk took them out taped together rebounded just fine. But no idea how long they been in flowering since it stressed them or slowed the groth for a while. View attachment 4203292 View attachment 4203292 View attachment 4203295
You do need some time (weeks) but the wait will be worth it and welcome

Ok thanks man. I'm in the up north south of Canada but in states. Weather is getting pretty cold. Worrying I wont have enough time left of the season. On other hand outdoor grow cold weather less pest. Today I noticed seeds in most of the colas this girl has been through hell and back. Beside seeds and bugs it's been a learning experience. I feel like I'm a pro for outdoor grow already learned so much still mor to learn.

My only concern is throwing ur new little seedlings directly under any h.i.d. light as their first means of illumination. Pretty intense. If you can't afford a t-5. Any florescent will work for the first week or so. Then you can move them under your mh. You're right to keep it high, and put the seedlings as far from that light as you can in that small tent then inch them closer to the center, a little more each day. You don't want to hurt your sensitive little seedlings. If u ignore the florescent. At least shade them a bit for the first week. Good luck!

Hello all,

I used to grow, both indoors and outdoors, back in the eighties and really enjoyed it. Luckily, I never had any trouble, but when our daughter was around four years old my wife asked that I stop growing and smoking for the sake of our child. I did so, but I always liked both smoking pot and growing it. My little girl has grown up and moved on with her life, so now I am interested in getting back in the game, particularly as I am considering retiring in Arizona where medical marijuana is legal.

At this time I work in an industry where I am subject to random drug tests, including both piss tests and hair tests, so I am not able to smoke yet, although I did smoke just a little when I was sent up to Denver to work this Spring and I was able to buy some ganja over the counter, which was a remarkable experience.

I have a 5 ac land in Florence , Az

So let me get this straight. You have 5 acres in Arizona. Got that. What I don't understand is if you just don't grow cannabis yourself, but want to rent the acreage to a farmer who does? I live in WA but have family and friends in AZ. Be more specific please.

Well I went ahead and moved thr light up to 46in from the floor, I do have the cups spaced in the middle of the tent.. I think I do have a 2flourescent bulb shop light I could use, but figured this was better for them.. Honestly the 3 that have popped above the soil are looking pretty happy... Id rather not set up the fluorescent but if I notice any stress I will, I've read a few about full runs under cmh that did well.. I plan on having another smaller tent for veg but needless to say haven't got that far yet, but wanted to get started so I did lol.. Thanks for the help I really appreciate any insight into anything I'm unsure of.. Also, Temps in tent have been 78-82 that ok?

Think I should raise to 48 then? Plenty of room to do whatever.. Just lowered the light to that height cuz the cups are on the floor
You know what I think. Just don't want you to burn them. They are sooo fragile as new seedlings. Better safe than sorry. At least for the first few days. Then start lowering it an inch or 2 a day. Then hold at 36". After they are more hardy and you know they can handle it you can move it down even more. Just watch them closely and don't over water them. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply man, yup I like your idea.. Keep a close eye, gonna lower the light after this first week when they're a bit stronger... Been watering every 6-8 hrs when the light is on, also got a soil ph/moisture/light meter so I can make sure I'm not over watering lol.. Always been a problem with me and my outside regular plants. Looking forward to sharing progress with everyone over the next weeks-months-years to come!

You are welcome! Temp wise 78-82 is a bit too high (unless you are supplementing C02). You want to be about 72-75 degrees Fahrenheit. Also approx 60% relative humidity. (Humidity lowers to 50% in flower)

Do you have an air conditioner? Or at least a fresh air intake fan plumed in from outdoors?
