    Slow Seedlings

    I appreciate it! Can't remember why exactly I went so conservative with the lighting in the first place - might have been misinterpreting too much water for light burn. I've turned up the lights a bit into the 500 PPFD range (30k+ LUX) and will monitor closely in case that is somehow too much...

    Slow Seedlings

    I re-potted these all in FFOF about a week ago so food shouldn't be short, but maybe worth throwing in some EWC?

    Slow Seedlings

    Yes at one point early on I thought the light was too close since they were all fairly squat so I moved the light up and then Northern Lights stretched so I knew I went too far. I have also had a hard time figuring out appropriate light strength and may be not have been going strong enough -...

    Slow Seedlings

    Hey folks, I'm still struggling to dial in the seedling stage and I find that my seedlings either pause (likely because I adjusted something in the environment too drastically) or they just take a really long time to get going once they pop. I've shared a photo from this morning - all of these...

    Sick man. What do you cover the carport with?

    DIY Rain Canopy

    Looks awesome. When you say sheets, what material, specifically, are you talking about? Plexiglass, or something else?

    DIY Rain Canopy

    Believe me, I've dreamed up the extravagant -- remote controlled awnings that I can expand and retract from anywhere whenever the rain is coming. The cost just doesn't justify it - I never use the damn deck except for growing :lol:

    DIY Rain Canopy

    Yeah I'm confined to our newly renovated 2nd story deck, so I can't go drilling holes everywhere to secure some frankenstein contraption. Aesthetics are also important to me and this kind of thing is about as minimal and visually unoffending as I can find.

    DIY Rain Canopy

    Found this outfit that has everything I would need - 10' x 10' A frame paired with a 10' x 12' clear vinyl cover...but clocking in at $500 for a canopy that will need to be heavily secured lest easily blown away seems a bit much...I suppose if it lasts for years to come then maybe that's not so...

    DIY Rain Canopy

    Yeah I came across that as well, among other materials. I'm also questioning the impact of these different materials on sun exposure - I assume the less transparent they are the less sun comes through, so I've been eyeing this tarp for it's clarity - finding a frame at the right dimensions is...

    DIY Rain Canopy

    Does anyone have experience building a makeshift rain cover for Sept/Oct...or does such a thing exist for growers out of the box? I'm not trying to build a greenhouse or anything elaborate, just looking to prop up a 10' x 10' canopy kind of thing with a clear tarp so the plants can still get sun...

    What to do when it rains?

    Does it matter if the clear tarp is a little frosted like that? Does that block/reduce the sunlight or does it not make a difference?

    Doug's Varin

    Anyone ever try Garden of Greens' Doug's Varin? I'm currently growing it but next to the Malawi it looks more like an Indica, not a Sativa. Granted, the Malawi stretch is intense. I've heard mixed opinions on Garden of Greens before so I'm a little skeptical of this actually being a true...

    Seedsman Northern Lights Auto - Hermie Seeds

    With you 100% I've currently got a Dougs Varin and Malawi in the 2x4 tent. These should be done end of June at the latest. I've got 5 seedlings in solos at the moment for the outdoor summer run: Golden Goat, Maui Waui, Bangi Haze, Blueberry Auto, and Purple Kush CBD 1:1 Auto...and now add the...

    Seedsman Northern Lights Auto - Hermie Seeds

    I'm popping one of these now to add to the summer run so I'll see if it happens again. Will be outdoors so many more variables at play, but if it seeds and the other plants don't then maybe that signals a genetic disposition...in which case I'll be growing this strain forever

    Seedsman Northern Lights Auto - Hermie Seeds

    It’s all indoors closed circuit. Would be surprised if male pollen managed to get in, let alone if my stiff neighbors were growing/breeding. Although I did open the windows a few times to cool it down on hot days, so anything’s possible I suppose. But these plants got some pretty serious...

    Seedsman Northern Lights Auto - Hermie Seeds

    From what I understand, self seeding autos will most likely produce auto seeds, but I suppose there’s always room for genetic mutations depending on how far back the line goes…

    Seedsman Northern Lights Auto - Hermie Seeds

    @curious2garden if I knew what I did to get 17+ mature seeds out of this plant I'd tell you. If it's a genetic predisposition, well that might explain why these were 'give-away' free seeds from Seedsman. Pretty stoked to have an abundance of these seeds now, regardless.
