Tahoe-
I guess it's a bit over the top. I medicate with cannabis for anxiety issues, and growing weed can be stressful at times. So instead of tripping on issues like gophers, deer, wild boar, yadda, yadda, yadda... i just go the extra mile so i'm not up all night thinking them fuck'n deer are eating my shit!
Damn gophers are raking havic on my crop,
Those rats are chopping down my girls and building nests with them....and so on. so i just do it the best i can so i dont trip too hard.
Shitty illness i suffer from!

i think your weed cage should keep them safe.
And look at what you got when you had to build and grow just wait til next year when the cage is still there and all you got to do is grow some plants

Hello All-
All the girls are just fine, last couple of weeks i been easing back on the veg feeding/ watering. Trying to get them roots to stretch out. The soil has been flushed 2 weeks ago, and started feeding a bit of molasses the last 2 waterings, and BMO's super plant tonic yesterday morning at 1oz per gallon. No feeding/water until Saturday (72 hrs), Then i feed them BMO"s Flower Power at half strength.
I think this is a great time to start their flowering nutes due to our weather here in the Sierra Foothills. The average high temps ran 5-6 degrees warmer (98 degrees) this July then the 30 year average (93 degrees). The last week our temps came down to normal range, then today were are @ 74 degrees at 2:15pm. Thats 15-17 degrees below normal. I think that this a great time to kick in the flowering nutes. I'm hoping between the weather and the new nutes, my girls will have a nice introduction into the flowering stage of life....

Thanks,
Treemansbuds-

Hey man, I'm right up the way from you about 45 minutes from Tahoe. always nice to meet a fellow northern cal grower. your birds are looking real nice man :weed:
glad I caught this grow when I did. I like that set up you have too. pretty legit and doubt anything's getting through all that. & that rattler was pretty mean. glad I havent encountered any yet at my garden..

Days are getting shorter right now and August is a month away........ there are areas outside that get 12/12 all year. No matter when the plants are placed in these areas they go into flower, go figure.....

If you look in the almanac you will find that for most of the US the days hit 12/12 in beginning, mid to late August.......
;)......

I'm confused. The autumnal equinox is when there are 12 hours of daylight right? But that happens on the 25th of September and is the same for all of the united states from maine down to florida. So it becomes 12/12 in late September

check your local farmers almanac for sunrise and sunset times....... 12/12 is not the outdoor flower mark...... right around 13-13.5/11-10.5 is when the hormonal changes occur that induce flowering...... 12/12 is a gauruntee ofr indoors and outdoors alike that is relatively easy to manage..... latitude and the layout of geography makes a difference too ;)..... where Im at the 12/12 mark is hit August 24th...... and Im in Cali....... happens even earlier in Northern California because of the Nothern to southern hemisphere exposure change that occurs during the fall/autumn

I don't know i am just not on the same page as you or something, look at this http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?month=9&year=2009&obj=sun&afl=-11&day=1&n=217

in sacremento, (EDIT: which I would consider close to northern cali,) 12/12 is on the autumnal equinox, september 25th

LOL....... yeah sea level to sea level....... when the suns behind the horizon, it hasn't risen, or has already set......... you have to take into accound that there are mountains in the way..... said sunset would be at Edit: 8:03 for me last night..... sun was beyond the horizon and completely out of sight at 7:45.......

ok I see now, I didn't think of that thank you for the explanation.


Trying to think more into it, I wish i knew what height is needed for the suns rays do be blocked for x amount of distance. That would give me an idea of what percent of a region is shaded for an extended period due to the mountains blocking the sun.


EDIT: sorry to the OP I didn't realize till now how off topic this is. Keep up the good work treeman looking good.

well... not really off topic..... this information pertains to his grow ;)......
to calculate how much of the daylight sun the mountain blocks you could find out the elevation and measure the speed of the suns acsent/descent in the sky relative to the time of day, and subtract the amount of time (after figuring the angle of the sun in relation to the mountain) from total sea lvl to sea lvl daytime.....

or you could just wake up around sunrise and watch when it peaks the horizon, and watch again when it tips the western horizon (this method is easier ;) ) Edit: < this is what I do.... gaurunteed accurate....

Haha a little common sense always works, thanks will do. I doubt my area will be much different than whatever the chart because its relatively flat around here but i'll find out for sure

Treeman,

The cooler temps have been great. I can get some work done. Brushing and shit is hard up around 100.

I lost another one of my 5 footers. I wanted to cry and went to El Cid for margueritas. A little fucker tunneled under the chicken wire (4 inches down) and ate the roots. I put a little gopher poison around the base of the remaining plants. I hope it doen,t get into the plant. It would give new meaning to the term "killer bud". I have to look at this season as a learning experience.

Hello Chicoles-
Sorry about the bad news, those lil bastards will reek havoc on a garden for sure. If your going to El Cids for drinks, you are in my neighborhood. I meet the Loaded Dragon last week and we are hooking up again today. Another local grower. This is my 1st "Rodeo" so to speak, and The Loaded Dragon has been a library of info, good to have his input. O ya, shove a flare ( be careful, dry weather) down that gopher hole and kill those bastards. The smoke that comes off a flare is very toxic, and will kill those bastards.

Good luck-
