    How much longer do you think I should wait before harvest time?...

    They've actually been getting 8 hours of supplementary LED lighting through the night from a 30cm x45cm 150w grow lamp. Don't know if that might reduce your timing suggestion a bit? I'm in no hurry though so will happily wait. I guess this means the buds will fatten up even more. They're...

    How much longer do you think I should wait before harvest time?...

    I didn't get a response in my main thread... www.rollitup.org/t/my-second-windowsill-grow-hoping-to-learn-from-the-mistakes-of-my-first-one.1101411 ...so, here are the 2 plants in question... This one is Glueberry OG which is listed as taking 8 weeks. I'm actually a day away from week 9. All...

    My second windowsill grow. Hoping to learn from the mistakes of my first one...

    DAY 61... We're getting close! I could do with your opinions on this... The high I'm looking for is heady & relaxed without being super-trippy. The bulk of these plants are indica whereas the free seed I got is more of a hybrid. I think I'll let the hybrid mature to the point where at...

    Is a combination of TOO MUCH sunlight & LED light bad for auto-flowering plants?...

    A bit of a curveball, and probably only a minor concern... I left the plants on the balcony today & they got rained on. Only a gentle shower for around an hour but they're now covered in tiny droplets of water & I'm worried that the strong LED light will be magnified through the droplets & burn...

    Is a combination of TOO MUCH sunlight & LED light bad for auto-flowering plants?...

    Hey, thanks for this! I just read this article & things are a lot clearer now. Bottom line?... I'm good :)

    Is a combination of TOO MUCH sunlight & LED light bad for auto-flowering plants?...

    Yeah, I'd read that too much can cause light burn & stress in photo-period plants but couldn't find the same answer for autos. Sounds like I'll be OK.

    For the other 8 hours they're in shade, during the day.

    Is a combination of TOO MUCH sunlight & LED light bad for auto-flowering plants?...

    I can't find a definitive answer but I'm aware of the 18/6 and 12/12 ratios for vegetative & flowering phases being a rule of thumb. My windowsill grow, which is now flowering well, is getting an average of 8 hours of direct sunlight & 8 hours of LED light overnight. They're never in complete...

    My second windowsill grow. Hoping to learn from the mistakes of my first one...

    DAY 52... All plants are flowering nicely. No signs of "nute burn" so I'm keeping on the right track giving the big plants about 1/2 a litre of water every other day, containing 3ml of Bio-Bloom per litre. I could probably give them more as there's no run through...what do you think? The...

    Windowsill grow (with supplementary LED support) - defoliate / lollipop or not?...

    OK, cool. I was never gonna be in a situation to give them that kind of light quantity. These were originally gonna stay as window grows & the LED lighting was actually a fairly recent decision to help boost the growth of the buds.

    Windowsill grow (with supplementary LED support) - defoliate / lollipop or not?...

    Mainly to get the LED light hitting areas that are in shade at the moment. Unlike during the day, at night they're sat very close together, seeing as I'm only using a single 30cm x 45c light. I thought losing a couple of large leaves might open up the canopy a bit, and the stuff at the bottom...

    Windowsill grow (with supplementary LED support) - defoliate / lollipop or not?...

    My auto plants are 7 weeks into what's probably an 11 week lifespan. They get around 8 hours of strong, direct sunlight hitting all sides, not just the canopy. Also, since I've seen flower sites spring up, they're getting 8 hours of supplementary light from a 150w LED Monkey Farming Grow Light...

    My second windowsill grow. Hoping to learn from the mistakes of my first one...

    I've been incredibly luck with the weather & there's no sign of the heatwave ending. It's been fluctuating between 25 & 35 for the last few weeks & they absolutely love it!! They act as a perfect sun shade in the afternoon, through to around 8:30pm when the sun drops behind the neighbouring...

    My second windowsill grow. Hoping to learn from the mistakes of my first one...

    Thanks! I'm moving them around the flat 3 times a day but it's paying off. They're flowering all over the place so these next few weeks are gonna be critical to how much of a yield I get. My 150w grow light showed up so here's my rudimentary set up for some suppementary lighting... This...

    My second windowsill grow. Hoping to learn from the mistakes of my first one...

    Trolling aside, can anyone offer any constructive criticism? At this crucial stage I'd like to know if everything looks OK. The LST could've been done better but I'll know how to do it differently next time.

    My second windowsill grow. Hoping to learn from the mistakes of my first one...

    DAY 44... I reckon they're all past the halfway point now. Jim, the free Glueberry OG (2nd from left) has virtually caught up with Jeff (1st left) so it seems to be a race between the two of them. They're 70cm tall now. Steve, the bushier one, is doing fine too. Interestingly the LST seems to...

    My second windowsill grow. Hoping to learn from the mistakes of my first one...

    DAY 37... Quite a change since I last posted. Lots of growth (notice the 30cm steel ruler), particularly Jeff (untrained Northern Dragon Fuel) and Jim (untrained Glueberry OG). They're the largest, so far. Steve (Northern Dragon fuel using LST) is also starting to fill out but it's hard to tell...

    A tall, floor-standing LED grow lamp that can be used as a regular living room lamp?

    How about this?... https://shop-weedness.de/?a=6393&lang=eng I can handle 30cm x 45cm, just. I'd need to work out the best way to suspend it (like I say, space & my wife are the problem here!) There's a more powerful one that's the same size & obviously costs a bit more. I wasn't planning on...

    A tall, floor-standing LED grow lamp that can be used as a regular living room lamp?

    I don't have the right kind of space for this so a floor-standing, goose-neck lamp is what I'm looking for now. I'm aware of this & said as much a few comments back. My intention was to buy one of the many E27 screw-in bulbs, thinking that something around the 200w mark would work...
