More nuts, dam, not good. that's 4 males out of 6 seeds. That's a lot of soil,light,nutes,space,time gone. I swore off regs years ago but I thought with my splitters in the pots I could try again. 2 out of 6 sucks. I swore off regs at 2 out of 7......fkem...I'm off regs again. I hope these are nice fking plants....ooops my grrrr is showing, I'd better smoke 2Mar13 more nuts.JPGmar13morefkinnuts.JPG

We get that too. Not as bad as your driveway this year though. But our steep roof usually causes our stoop to get iced over one or twice a winter from melt. That’s why we have the salt and sand mix.

This is after it was shovelled clean twice. View attachment 90535

We also have three inside sidewalks and the street sidewalks to shovel. View attachment 90536

Then the shovel broke. View attachment 90537

But we had another so we could do our flat roof which was leaking down the chimney again. View attachment 90538View attachment 90539View attachment 90540View attachment 90541

The snow was about a foot at the edges and up to three feet against the peaked roof.

I’m so done with winter.

Hope your able to manage yours. The ice looks nasty. I bought a propane cane torch years ago for the stairs. Kind of sucks as it’s slow but sometimes it’s all that works.

What is that stuff?
Looks like a PITA.

We’re getting the liquid sunshine here. Been a weird year. This looks like a miracle march for rain. The Sierra are getting pounded with snow as well.

I always purchase feminized seeds not wasting my time and costs on regs.
 
I love the mystery of using regs, but I’m too old to waste time on growing boy plants only to have to pull them and start anew.

I like fems, I’m now more impressed with autos too after my last grow.

I had for years but with the split pots I thought I'd give them a whirl. I was thinking plant 12 regs in my 6 split pots I'd be good but my odds of getting 10 males and 2 fems are not worth me trying.

I still have 5 fems growing but my tent is no longer full

Over time (5 years), I have grown regs a number of times, my success ratio was actually surprisingly good. Probably 75% females. I figure the odds are more and more out of my favor!

Its made me rethink clones but that takes 3 tents and I'm not sure I could get another tent in my room. I ran the same gene's for a few years, just cloning and flipping moms but it takes 2.5 months to flower making my clones 2.5 months old and out of space in my holding cell and summer high humidity is tough to flower in so if timing doesn't work out my plants got too big to handle.

Thinking on it though and I could count on all fems. I could easily do 4 in my 3x3 and build a small clone box. I have the light...big hmmmm......good talk..

lol......I was just looking at 4 more pots to fit into my auto pots so I can do just that, even moving my hot water tank just over 3 ft would give me the space I need. to put a small 2x2 or a home built.

I have all the lighting, I used to run 3 full time but it got to be too hectic with so much going and....neglected plants at the back.

Everything needed a clean up so I went to just starting seeds 6 weeks before harvest.....and now I can't stay ahead of the game. I run out of smoke.....I smoke a lot but still I should be able to out grow my smoking needs.

I could potentially flip 4 - 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 month old monsters in my 5x5....ya...I like...lol....basement corner.JPG1741890234129.png
 
While blue light plays a crucial role in promoting vegetative growth and disease resistance, red light is equally important for the flowering stage of cannabis plants. Red light encourages budding, boosts flower size, and increases overall yields.

Or so it says, Tracking shows my new blue light still in BC but on its way....anxious? just a bit...lol... a kid with a new toy...1742147536752.png

When I was back in the city I had a little $99 electric Greenworks snowblower with a cord and it handled all my snow back in Boston just fine, I had a three car driveway and the sidewalk to do

I used it the first year here too but realized I needed something bigger here, but it beats the hell out of shoveling!

I have a big 28” blade snow thrower. But it’s to big to get up the flagstone step to to that walkway. So I have a son to do that if I can’t. Just have to wait until his shift is over or the next day.

I know the feeling. Waiting on my new/replacement bubble straw for my vape. 🫣

2 out of 6 has left a hole in my crop. I'm down to 5 . I moved a fem from the back up front to share the Mars FC 4500 with the 2 Triangle Death Skunk that are left and the 2 fems at the back get a light of their own. They each get an SE3000 over them.

I had another fkin leak yesterday. I opened the tent in the AM and looking around alls good WTF where did all that water come from? The first tray I looked at was over flowing WTF I wet vac'd it out and alls good water came to its level and stopped....Fixed, just a clean up, 2nd time same issue, different tray.

I still don't have the second filter on yet but I've cleaned my tank twice so far and its been pretty clean each time, very little precipitation and filter has been clean...ish. I'm looking for the right sized reservoir. I bought a 10 gal but its a bit too small with a 1/2 inch bulkhead flange. It has a large Nut that forces me up higher from the bottom of the res than I'd like because of the shape on the bottom of the new storage box

Flipped Mar 1st Mar 16 she has baby flowers. She just popped open today......ah...ain't she cute?

Harvested 8 Auto Northern OG this week. Moved into my flower tent 4 auto Grand Daddy Purple and 4 Auto Cream Mandarin. Grand Daddy Purple are the strechers the cream Mandarin are a more bushy and compact plant.thumbnail_IMG_0988.jpgthumbnail_IMG_0992.jpg

Wow you got some stretching out of those didn't you? Are you running Far reds through flower?

I want a few more inches out of one of mine so I added the red last night aft lights out. I have a bunch of branches off a Triangle death skunk that could use a little lift out of the center of the plant, it kinda looks like its monster cropped and pushing out a lot of branches.......Looks good, had I been able to get that growth off Auto's I may have grown more but with my 1000w hps I couldn't afford to run 18 hrs & now with 920W & a heater with led's its still to expensive.

Will be running the reds right till harvest for 15 minutes after lights out. Had to tie back the one at back left she was headed to go between the light to top of tent.

I'm down to 5 but they are looking good, no issues so far this week. I ran the far reds for 15 min aft lights out for 3 nights and that's enough. I have the stretch I wanted now I'd like it to slow down but I'm afraid I've unleashed a monster. I still have lots of room for my lights so I should be able to keep my plants under them this time.

My Blue lights are lost in shipping, No updates since the 13th then today I get an update that my expected delivery isn't going to happen and there's a problem with the rail lines so no expected date of delivery.....Rail Freight problems? I hadn't heard anything so I google and yep problems across the country for rail and containers being backed up north and south of the border......fk...Mar20.JPGMar20A1.JPG

Ever considered just a couple trays with domes....and just throw a little light on them in a corner somewhere? It's kinda how I've been doing it...I got 2 tents, 3 would be amazing but I'm making it work

Yes I could make it work but I have to watch summer months and finishing flowers, Timing is important, July & Aug months the humidity is too high 95-100% at 90f is a regular occurrence and big buds don't like that. I've been starting seeds 6 weeks before my harvests in my 3x3 then I have plants to flip when my flowers are done, Clones take up space I don't have and get too big to hold in my 3x3 at 2.5 months old between harvests
