1. Reducing ppfd
2. Reducing temps
3. Using something like koolbloom
4. Possibly reducing light hours by an hour or two

Few things you can do to encourage "fininishing" or "ripening"

Spectrum has its affects too.

Off the top of my mind.

Just how it happens in nature, fall comes, winters approaching, gotta signal to you're plants indoors, that they don't have much time left either.

Earth tilts further away from the sun, the Spectrum changes coming in through the atmosphere, it gets colder.

Same thing with how we "signal" them into flowering, changing to 12-12.

i was wondering how the coach do with keeping the job, i personally have no issues with him. i don't think he did anything dumb so i'd say give him a chance!! the players really like him i know that. the GM is just so new there they can't really justify a firing.

they need major changes to a few areas and they might have to bring in some old guys to mix it up with all the young guys. i just hope they pick the right people.

there is not as many rebuild teams this year so hopefully they get some of the changes they really need!!

back in the mid season there was chatter about tom brady becoming part owner of the raiders and it had enough friction that all the owners voted on it. i haven't heard or looked for anything more on it since the vote. the team has changed so much since Al Davis was there. i would like to see a culture change come down from the top. i'm not saying Mark can't do it, i just feel he needs a change. hell mark davis is getting pretty old himself anymore.

i think the news on the raiders will be kinda quiet for a little while. till the draft anyway.. it would be so awesome to see them in contention once again!

it won't be much longer.....

Yep, spoke too soon and AP is out but they're keeping the GM and you're right, Brady is part of the next coach search.
Looking over the list of free agents and the draft...there's tons of potential in there. Tons!!!
I think you grab the LT from Texas or the edge rusher from PSU in round 1. Get line help there and forget the top QBs and WRs. There's guys just as good without name hype in later rounds.
Rounds 2-5 has players with value and potential starters...like the RB we just played out of ASU and a good QB too but I'd still go FA for a starting QB. Winston is the fit IMO there. 2 years starting then the rookie from this class takes over.
It's all there for the taking if they get the right football heads running it and they're all in alignment.
This makes me wanna watch Moneyball and Draft Day all over again!!

yep, i agree sir!! in fact i did all five of those things in the same order you listed, only i snuck in the spectrum change around your step 3.

quality seems off the charts this round!! i don't always get to lower my temps this cold and adding a dehuey late got me in the mid 20% rh range at the end!!!

i'll follow up with a final dry trim if needed, most of whats left should just break off with a little crunching...





nothing left to do now except wait it out!!!

Nice man!

I think that low RH towards the end helps stress them, and the sugar leaves will develop more trichomes. Along with everything else perhaps.

i'll be getting a couple VGs going soon too.. i printed a smaller one for myself, i've never used one those new one sided styles yet. i just need to pick a good genetic for the scrog. i need to decide soon though, it might end up being something i've grown before.

sorry man i missed this one somehow... i agree though, it's a little tougher with the living soil but i did go water only for almost two weeks before the chop.

bagged it all up last night for a quick cure... gonna give some to my neighbor tomorrow to get his feedback!!

.

ahhhhh yeah!!! load er up baby!!!!!!!!

you'll have fun experimenting with seed placement, both height and orientation. you can raise em up a little if you're looking for more tap root room next time. direct sow rules apply with 1/4-1/2" below.

can't wait to see what ya get in a day or two!!!

I am pleased to announce the 2025 NASCAR Fan Rewards is open for business!
I lost the 52 points I had left from last season but opened with 188 for being subbed up to the newsletter and got another 13 for paying attention in 3rd grade math class with the first trivia question.
I'm at 201 as of this morning and on my way to 15,000 for that COTA garage experience




BTW....Texas is sending 18 prospects to the NFL this year. 10 of which I'm pretty sure could help the Raiders in 2025
Also, word on the street is Texas is a player for a pair of WR transferring from PSU. We aint rebuilding. We're reloading!!!

Early chop?
I've been finding these Irie cuts are in it for the long haul on ripening taking at least 12 weeks but up to 15 is better for some. IMO you really cant overcook them on ripening but cool air and changing spectra can help expedite a little. Haze is just a slow cooker.
That pack of Head Punch I sent you will be an early girl though. 8-9 weeks and she's more than done.

 

[SSgrower]

My Lemon Jeffery began to get nanners, 7-8 weeks? Enjoying the Jeffery though, it's great,smell,taste & high. SS

that fog is sofa king cool!!! no paper towels even needed!!!!

i'm gonna load mine up in a couple days!!!

we're getting some artic temps rolling in this week and theres a few day i plan on not going anywhere this week so i'll have time to get everything all set up.

hydro room is pretty much ready except for a new floor liner to slide under the buckets. nutes are mixed and been stable for a long time so ready there. i have coco/perlite this time in smaller 4" netcups versus the 6" i've been using.

gonna load up all the bennies in everything tonight to get them at a full charge when i introduce seedlings.

the soil area might end up being a day or two behind the hydro just because there's more work involved. i will also load up the benies and nematodes a few days ahead of time. most of the soil is mixed i just need to moisten it and add the goodies.

right now it's all the calm before the storm, by next weekend i should be caring for 20 seedlings!!

.

dipping down to 12° tonight and gonna get colder this week..



stay warm y'all!!

you sir should leave for cancun tonight!!! i worry with how early you start in the morning. by time it's actually the warmest part of the day you're probably packing up.

good to hear you won't have to commute in the slop tomorrow. we're only supodda get 3 inches or so.. yet another "annoying snow" this year.. all of em, too much to ignore but not enough to be worth the big toys!

just ordered heating fuel yesterday, a little less than last year, still too f'in much!!!

you should start to feel like wednesday is a no go too... stay in your slippers and drink chocolate milk at home!!!!

holy fuck man, how do you prepare? like do your tires go flat? do you gotta keep your car plugged in to a heater or just keep it running?

i'm struggling to fathom that temperature.

 

[OLDCRO]

Cars have electric block heaters, no tires dont go flat maybe if you have bad rims. Stay indoors or dress properly for the weather its the wind that gets to you

i assume all of your skin must be completely covered if you would need to go outside? do eyelashes freeze at that temp?

please tell me you own a sauna..

 

[OLDCRO]

Had a sauna at my last home. Yes exposed skin may cause frost bite. I have had my eye lashes freeze together a few times over the years. The one thing you dont want to do is sweat
