looking nice keep them cumming
Thanks man. I have read conflicting information in regard to night time temps. Anywhere from 60-70 degrees. My space is on the outside wall of this old house so i am affraid it is gonna get chilly in there. I will only suppliment heat as a last resort. Will update later today with some pics of the ladies before the lights go outAs long as you don't drop below 60 bro you will be cool. When you drop below 60 it wont kill them but it will severely slow down growth. Some strains react better to cool temps. Just keep your night/day temps consistent and your girls wont even notice.
I would love to use some bigger lights. The issue at hand at the moment is exhaust !! I am currently just venting into the attic and it is already melting the snow on my roof. Too much of a "heat Score" if i were to exhaust any more heat than i already am. In the summer when i can renovate, i was thinking of exhausting into the plumbing stack and this will solve the melting roof issue in winter months THEN i couls upgrade to HPS !! Venting into the stack will also solve any smell issues as it is about 5 feet above the roofline of my house. Don't think anyone will smell anything that high up.
Looking sexy! But man, your killing me, can't spare a few bucks for reflectors? Hell, rig up some DIY Reflectors. Cardboard+ Duct Tape+ Mylar/ Reflective Tape/ Flat WhiteHome from a week on a Sandy Beach and this is what i came home to !! Kuddo's to my man for taking good care of the ladies.View attachment 2532945View attachment 2532946View attachment 2532947View attachment 2532948View attachment 2532949View attachment 2532950View attachment 2532951View attachment 2532953View attachment 2532954View attachment 2532955View attachment 2532956
YO !! anyone got some input ????Can someone give me some advice. Now that the all the bud sites have shown their girly parts, should i trim the fan leaves to expose the bud sites to more light or just leave them. I have read conflicting information ?? I have read that this will cause stress in the negative context but will promote exponential growth on the positive. Any advice is welcome and appreciated.
Peace
Thanks Streets. I think i will just play with my lights rather than my lades to get more light where i need it.Generally leave all the healthy green leaves and only take off leaves that have shriveled and dried up. The plant's leaves help store and provide energy to the plant. You really don't want to ever just start taking off fan leaves. The plant won't yield more just by trimming them off. Also, after about a week of flowering, you don't want to do any trimming or further training to a plant. It causes stress while flowering. All training should really be done during vegetation state and it should be tied down at this time if size is a problem. A good thing to consider before growing is that different strains have different bud to leaf ratios as well as potency/denseness differences with each strain. One of my favorites is super lemon haze because the potency and bud to leaf ratios are amazing. Nothing gets wasted on the buds, all of the upper fan leaves finish frosted up, not to mention even the stems get frosted over. Trichomes will literally start developing on the stem itself so if you took a razor blade to a stem you could scrape off a layer of kief. Looking really good man, awesome stealth grow you have there. Wish you the best of luck.
Thanks Lucky.plant science is the key here, the more opportunity for photosynthesis to take place the more your plants will grow including buds.I trim some small lateral bottom growth in veg and give it recovery time before flower.I try and keep every leaf green and healthy right up to harvest,tuck big fan leves don't cut them.I fed into this bullshit until i developed a better understanding of basic plant science,same with the flushing myth about taste and harshness myth. Although flushing your plants will finish them faster as your helping them finish their life cycle faster by starving them,and also at the same time sacraficing that extra bit of yeild and tric production.
