They have between 6-7 nodes and 5 weeks old I think.
They were slow starters mainly because my ph meter was broke and I didn't know but they are starting to take off under the MH now.

WTF are u talking about there are no tornados in SF, you mean oklahoma? I'm originally from texas but have family in OK and have lived in SF for 13 years.

Why would you think tornados are in SF, there are not even thunderstorms here?

miss heard the radio last night on the way home from hurling, it was massachusetts they mentioned i heard it repeated later last night... sorry about the crossed wires, still its mental weather over there....

have you dug your holes yet? they need to be dug a few days before you plant out, and a couple of days will recover from the topping.... top to the 5th node if i was you....

I'm putting them out in grow bags if I can get them today and if not I'll use those small heavy 100L rubble bags.

 

[ae86 grower]

no need to prep the ground so, only few days needed to get over the topping, this even is only a precaution, you could pop them out and top them once out..

 

[ae86 grower]

and the dark period.. maybe switch on and off a bit earlier, with a few hours dark before you put them out, the dark for 24 hours.... wouldn`t be ideal that, either way they`ll be grand tho fred, as they say ...don`t sweat the small stuff....

I was thinking that but would the the tops last until I got home to make clones?,I'd be about 15-20 minutes from home.

 

[ae86 grower]

i would think so, i have never had to transport a top like that but maybe pop it into a cup of water, or wrap the cut part in wet tissue to keep moist?????

 

[fr3d12]

I guess it wouldn't be too hard to keep them moist for 20 mins or so.
I want to get them out asap cos my RH is high indoors,it's at a low now of 53% but I have been struggling to keep it down to 60% and below,gonna have to buy a dehumidifier and they are not cheap.I've plastic containers with rock salt in the tent and you'd be surprised the moisture it sucks out of the air.

 

[ae86 grower]

yeah done that before, even table salt will do the trick, humidity is a cunt, getting it spot on or there abouts can be tricky..


you putting them in the garden? or out and about the hedges?

They're going into a rocky,craggy kinda place,it's ideal cos no one goes there and it's close to home.
Humidity is always going to be a problem in this country and the dehumidifiers are not cheap but at least they serve a purpose for the whole house.

nice spot, no such luck here, everywhere i find, once scouted ends up with either farmers, walkers or quads and bikes..

thank god the weather has changed for the better tho, least we can just crack on with it now ...

There's a lot of bd farm land around here so it's ideal.
It's gonna be very warm today I reckon so hopefully we get a nice Summer for a change.

Alright lads well my lowryder2 girls are 5 weeks old and so far so good for being in the greenhouse, I take them out into the full sun on good days water once a week, don't know the ph, don't know the humidity, the highest temp in the greenhouse was up in the 30s but they were out enjoying the sun then, haven't given any nutes yet think I'm gonna start on some sort of feeding anyways I attached some pics,

 

[iamaaror]

What's the story lads, how are the plants coming along? Suns starting to poke its head now,going to start vegging some chocolate cheese or cheeseberry 99 outside to sex them and then take cuts that should be ready by the time the shackzilla is done. I have some original 91 chemdawg X cinderella 99 beans, some of those should be decent

Sorry I seemed so alarmed because there isn't even lightning here or hard rain. but like I said I have family in OKC (oklahoma city) but they are all fine. 51 people dead and 20 are children the state is known for the most severe tornado's in the world and this just happen to hit a populated area and destroyed it. It is all over the news and looks like an atomic bomb went off.

View attachment 2664920I'll need to buy one of them scopes to eyeball the trichs on mines from now on, was a bit of a guessing game previously, used to believe when half of the pistil hairs had turned brown it was time for the chop. Maybe that's still true but I see most folk use the hand held scopes, anyone know any good reasonably priced ones ?------addition to my grows tonight, 2 rooted trainwreck clones now in 6 inch pots

here ya go bilbo,ive been usein x60 for last couple of years works a treat

Morning all,

I'm thinking of transplanting outside tomorrow and although I've done a bit of reading I'd still like a few opinions from folk more knowledgable than myself.
The plants currently are under 18/6 250w MH with lights on at 6pm,so would it be ok to keep them in the dark until tomorrow morning then move out?
The other thing is that they need transplanting and topping so should I wait until they have recovered before moving them out?
I know there's a lot of variables there and each one is gonna stress the plant somewhat.
I've searched and I've found nothing that is definitve and clear for my situation so any input is appreciated.

AE got there beforem thank f, saved me alot of typing.

 

[ae86 grower]

evening fellas, hows all tonight????

what did you get wet weight, buds? or did you bother weighing just yet???

 

[DublinGrower83]

Alright lads thinking bout growing some more lady's outside in the greenhouse, any suggestions on seeds to get that would suit?.
