I do have a bunch of barbed wire sitting around from removing it from my property which used to have cattle...that way I could have protected ladies AND free deer jerky, I don't even think that's against the law as it's not really 'hunting' =)

kill two birds with one stone, and its not hunting if the animal fucked himself over, more like animal suicide lol

Yeah, I'd be curious about this too, they look great. Very healthy.
I would think that if the clones and sprouts were under 24hrs light while inside, that at some point they would need to be scaled back to 18 or something before they go outside so they don't get shocked when all of a sudden they are getting half as much light as they were under the bulbs. Def. looking forward to seeing your progress, big thumbs up

i run my lights at on at 3.30 am and off at 7;30 pm at night and when they go out it isn't that much different and iv'e never had any problems and they don't go out until june 1st either so if anything the days are getting longer. than what they had beofre ,i just thru them under 12/12 to sex out and then back to grow some of these will be used for breding and mother plants and the rest outside along with all the early styrains that i will be starting may 1st, that will be on this thread also

So you keep them close to their future outside light schedule. It's great to learn all these tricks of the trade! Your babies are really growing quickly, even with only 16 hours of fluorescent light, awesome!

ya i do keep them close as possible to the outdoors time frame seems to work out good the early strains don't bounce back to grow not even under 24 hrs so if ya want some good real early use some semi auto so it will get some size to it grow it to 2-3 ft under 24 hrs drop it back to 12/12 for 2 weeks and out the door under natural time it will keeep budding and be done by mid to late july

well there is 6 strains in all some are bigger but all of that strain is the same . and i use only the seeds i have working on for years to not mold and be early also i use straight promix and water only for a least 3 weeks before using a weak mix and when outdoor i use a different feeding schedule. depending on strain

001.JPG002.JPG003.JPGok they are in the sexing room now we'll see how the female ratio is going to be with each strain and i put the air right to them with big intakes from outside and 2- 20" oscalating fans bending them over , i never have to stake them becuase the wind inside makes them tough as hell and they love the fresh air

no problem sexing them seeing i look at them everyday more than once.and i always pick up every one daily cuase they don't dry out the same time either and if ya used just one or two to judge water times ya going to get a few too wet and worse if some can't get dried out properly. so if ya don't pick each one up ya are guessing on one of the most important issues when growing nice green consistant plants , the water content in the dirt.
