Are you trying to re-veg those plants? Why 24/7?
Just keeping the tent warm. Now y’all got me worried about that tho. I’ve read about people doing it in Canada as a way to keep the grow space warm. I genuinely thought that was the whole point of autos. You can throw light at them non stop and they grow faster as a result. I had not heard of it causing problems. I sure hope they don’t re-veg or herm on me. Maybe I’ll buy a fucking heater now I can probably find a cheap propane one and just heat the garage if need be. If I do change it to 18/6 I’ll do it an hour at a time every other day. Got to do some more reading first tho…
Yeh it's not so much of an issue with autos.

Bph, you could see how you like 20/4. I've always done my autos on 18/6 and sometimes 12/12 when I have no choice cause photos. I've always wanted to try 24/0 but havent.

Ah theyre autos. No need to worry about re-vegging but, i would stop relying on my lights for my only heat source. Changing light schedules is not the best way to control temp

This laoberry is weird about the light schedule.
This is 2 hours before the lights go off.

Does this every day. I’ve had other plants droop but usually right before the lights go and not nearly as severe.

Nyctinasty. Perfectly normal and more prevalent in some strains.

Yes I will be dropping them to 20/4. After doing some reading it seems like the general consensus is they need at least some darkness to produce the most trichomes. Not sure where I got the 24/7 thing but I’ll snag a timer on my way to work.

After 10 weeks I decided it was time for the girls to come down, I am pleasantly surprised at how my first run with the flood table went all in all.

Few buds that hit the floor, they are not as seeded as I had expected, pulled some healthy seeds from each strain already that look viable

That's some gas! you should be proud. I remember when you were setting up the table and sharing your environment stats and I knew that grow would be excellent.

@Bph that's not unusual for the water to become alkaline as it sits unless it's in an acidic environment. I've been using tap water forever, unless I'm at the fish camp and then it's river water. I let the tap run for about 30sec. then fill my containers, if adding nutes, I will fill half way, add nutes and finish filling, then PH.
My PH flucuates when they flush the system, but it's not more than 1 or 2 points (0.1-0.2) at the most.
I do not have a shop per se, but I do have a lathe, table saw, miter saw, routers and my favorite tools: Hand augers, chisels, multiple pocket knives with different blade sizes and there's some that I'm crafting from old rail road spikes, making different bladed wedges for splitting planks, but that's why I want the chainsaw mill. If you've never seen one, you should check it out because it's a must have for off grid living in places like Alaska and other wilderness areas.
An adze is another tool that I plan to craft soon, it's essential for working logs and large pieces of lumber to make boats, Ships, housing and more. The old way is the hard way but it's also proven and I fully understand that situations like whats taking place in Ukraine today, could potentially set the entire world back to the stone age with a nuclear exchange..
Having knowledge of these tools is not the same as having hands on experience and I like to learn anything and everything I can. Particularly, when it comes to essential life skills, it's to late to learn these things when the shit has already hit the fan. Some people look at me crazy when I talk about this stuff, as if none of them believe that it's possible, but history has shown me that no country lasts forever and war will affect every generation. This situation in Ukraine has the potential for global conflict and I don't want to be caught with my pants down while bent over the proverbial barrel. Can you imagine being physically dependent on opiates or something when major conflict breaks out, NO THANKS!!!
I learned gardening from my parents and grandparents, as well as husbandry. Those things were essential acts around our house, it's how we fed everyone and man that was the tastiest food ever. I don't know if it tasted so good because we grew it or because it was so fresh, probably both.
I have to drag all the power tools into the driveway to do whatever it is that I'm doing with them, so I try to use hand tools as much as possible. using pegs instead of nails is something that I have been trying to perfect, it's easy to split the wood if the wrong size peg is used and you have to consider the natural contraction and expansion of the wood. Yesterday, an older fella of about 80yrs young told to pay attention to the lay of the grain in order to minimize rot, so the water runs off the wood instead of being trapped by the grain and absorbed. When he laid out the boards and pointed out exactly what he was talking about, it was a big aha moment for me, it made perfect since. If you look at the end of a board, you will see the lay of the grain, it should be facing down like a mound an "n" and not up like a "U". When the grain forms a u it traps water instead of repelling.

Totally agree. I been thinking about that too, must be 90% of us that do not know basic survival skills, and fewer that have the experience to construct, grow, hunt, etc. And many that are handicapped by addictions, poor fitness, or mentally weak. If power goes down or oil production is halted, everything would fall apart so quickly. There's less than 2 weeks of resources available and then it would be hell on earth. All the camping and firemaking I've been doing recently has been an eye-opener just how little prepared I am and most everyone is. As fucked up and destructive as our society is, I pray we never have to live in a post-apocalypse.

lol you nailed it doc. Fucking opiates man, my biggest fear of something like that happening would be going through whatever bullshit was happening sick as fuck for the first few weeks.
I always think about that when places get flooded or snowed in really bad, all the dope fiends are just screwed.

That’s a nice harvest man, how big is that canopy? 4x4?
I pulled a bottom nug off the c99, so far lcxcn is the frostiest I’ve had but this is gonna rival it.

Just came across this, can definitely relate

Thanks Icon had a few minor issues, but kept it on the tracks. I struggled a little with cool temps so the buds lost some size I think, them being seeded may be part of it too. Keeping the parameters in check is important, I was really happy by how easy the flood table was for the most part, the reservoir change was the only thing I had to do and honestly it was easier than dragging buckets of water around every day or two. I am considering giving coir another chance but the clay worked so well and I like the idea of only having to worry about checking my reservoir EC/pH and not worry about testing run off, but I think using coir may be the best way to get seeds to my table.

That c99 Looks nice AKA! it was probably closer to around 3 1/2 x 4 I lost some space at the end of the table to the male, and the revered mama plants that turned out pretty nappy being stuck in the lower canopy and shaded, those 2 small plants are pretty much unusable and just breeders, the other strains will have some stuff that actually will be smokable I think.
I’m now torn between grabbing a new pack of flavors or planting some beans…. Think I’m leaning for a new pack of 6-8 flavors and pick one to seed the rest, been growing these strains a few years and am wanting to change it up. The only issue I’m seeing is how to pick the plant to reverse without having grown the strains before, or if I just use one of the strains I already have.
I saw one of you mention thinking about trying hydro, I seem to do things my own way often. When first setting up the table they suggest using a riser drain fitting to drain the table and keep it from overflowing but the pump the grow sites had suggested (the largest suggested 800 gph) really didn’t get the job done and I was unhappy with its performance, I removed the riser/overflow and threw in a 1200 gph pump I already had, now I just flood the table faster then it drains, knowing I’ll never be able to overflow it there is not enough water in my reservoir. I also switched the table fittings and flood with the larger 3/4” and drain with the 1/2” fitting. The whole way that was suggested to set up a flood table didn’t work for me. trying to drain the table back through the pump didn’t work very well, and the 800 gph pump they suggested flooded the table way to slow. Now I am able to flood it up quicker and to a higher level and drain it back out pretty quick, the way they suggested took forever to flood and drain, I found more control and a better flood doing it my way, and could do it in quicker cycle.

Here's a couple pics from under the lights. I've added a 400watt MH to the mix, it should help tighten up the buds some. Two of the White99 have experienced a serious stretch, they're about 4ft rn, while the 3rd has barely stretched at all but the buds are looking good. I think the ones that stretched the most will end up with a better quantity and maybe quality of smoke. The only Brickweed female has also experienced a serious stretch, but has just been in the flower room for 4 days and is already as tall as the White99.
I have an old hydro herb garden light with a fish pump built into it. So, I took an old Tupperware container, placed a rack over it and put some water with minimal nutes in, ran a hose from the bubbler and put 3 clones in to see if it works better for rooting than the coir/verm mix. I have 3 in the bubbler and 3 in a 50/50 coir/verm mix for comparison.

Will show the redneck bubbler tomorrow if you really want to see it.
Edit: flower time is one week 4 days!!
Edit edit:: this is supposedly an indica but it has long spindly fan leaves like a sativa. Both of the White99 that stretched alot are looking more sativa like the one that didn't stretch and has fat wide indica leaves.

I scored some co2 tanks from my Pepsi guy. I let him know there was a bunch of tanks in my office and they have been there since I took this job. He was like oh fuck I didn’t even know I was missing them. I said shit I’ll keep them if you want me too…
The question is what can I do with them? I figure I have air cooled lights and two CO2 tanks that’s at least part way to having a CO2 assisted grow right? What do I need to get to be able to use these and what’s the best way to use them?

Do you guys know if there’s anything active inside the actual bud/plant tissue? Or is it solely in the trichomes?
I can’t find anything about this. If it’s only the trichomes then wouldn’t letting buds bulk up at the end just reduce potency? Not taking into account the maturation of the trichomes.
It seems to me like there has to be some appreciable level inside the actual bud but I can never find articles or discussion about it.
