Angryblackman's 1st CFL Grow

Metasynth said:

I'm with you on that one, I live in SoCal, and I don't have AC, so with temps topping 100+ here in the summer, I'm DEFINATELY shutting down the DWC for the summer, but I'm thinking soil plants will be ok...Just the water in hydro gets too hot for the roots in summer, causes root rot and shit like that. And if my little indoor soil plants are a little stunty because the temps are constantly in the 90's, then so be it! Haha, they're gonna have to deal with it, i'll just give them nice cool drinks of water more frequently...plus I have my little DIY AC unit I made out of a styrofoam cooler and a couple PC fans, so I'll put some frozen water bottles and dry ice(to keep water bottles frozen longer) in there to hopefully bring temps down...I hope you continue to grow indoors as well as outdoors, just remember I'm in the same boat as you, no AC and soaring summer temps...we'll get through it together

Angy Black Dude .. Im subbed on ,

I like this setup and its looking good.

Welcome and thank you shagster!

Annnnnnnnd it begins..

Nice, I'm probably gonna wait till April to start outside, but i'm loving it dawg! You might even inspire me to put my newborn seedlings outside after they get a little bigger...I'm waiting on some legit genetics though, and i'm not sure if I wanna grow too many unknown bagseeds outside.I still wanna run like 6 strains, but my homie told me I'm better off sticking to a couple because it'll be easier to manage the plants needs if they have similar requirements, but I told him FUCK NO, we wont go! 6+ strains or bust!!

so abm- whatcha do when it rains bro? I mean,we got rain rollin in rt.now-it doesnt floodem out? and how them clones comin along?

meta- thats the way- ahh huh- we like it!! Mulitiple strains man! Doin 12plants this yr&@least 4 strains.

abm, that looks awesome dude. i wish i had even 2 square feet of outdoor space, i'd cover it with mj plants . unfortunately i live in 2nd floor apartment with plenty of windows but no patio or balcony or shit!!! damn. whenever i can i give my plants a little time in the sun through the window. they like it, they tell me so.

The 3 in the ground are bagseed. This is my test area. I already have holes dug in my real area but still have to get soil going for them. I figured why not toss out a strong mother and see what happens. Funny thing is after being in the sun all day she is starting to pop little hairs. The next couple of weeks are going to get interesting indeed.

I have had the 3 out there for about 3 weeks now and they have weathered the storm so far. I gave them some Fish Emulsion today and they perked right up. As far as the Green Crack goes I am going to leave her in the pot just in case I need to move her. More than likely I will just let her ride out this storm and see what's up.

The clones are still rooting. Funny you should ask. I had the fan that was venting the veg area go out on me and I found that it ended up making a perfect humidity chamber for the clones. I will try and get some pics in a bit when the lights come on. I am just testing this out on a few that I recently took and still have the ones in the dome.

I was there man. I am just glad that I have the space now. Keep doing what you can when you can.

Yup, I'm trying for 18 if I can manage it, either 6 strains, 3 plants of each strain, or 9 strains, 2 plants of each strain...Or maybe just a bunch of freebies...haha, I got genetics on the way, so we'll see...

Hmm...interesting indeed...I wonder what would happen if I just threw the seedlings out now...Anyway, glad to hear you're getting shit set up for the season...I'm with you on the dirt situation...I need a shitload of dirt, so I might look into buying in bulk from a landscaping supplier...it's like 30 bucks for a cubic YARD! But I dunno, all I know is I have a bunch of 30 and 45 gallon smart pots to fill up, and soon to be 6 giant holes in the ground to fill as well

come check out my latest updates video and pics day 57 of flower hers a sample View attachment 1477571

Thanks. I still need to get a thread going for that but I am kinda waiting to have my indoor finish first.

lovin the outdoor setup man might be time for me to tear up the backyard a bit and start turning over some dirt to put some in the ground next month .. you just made me want to give an update on my outdoor plants lol

haha Sorry about that man.... Not really.. I just stopped by your thread and posted. Looks like I may be taking some tops sometime this week. The Platinum OG and the Pineapple Thai looks like they may be ready to come off soon. This Thursday will be day 56 of flower.

Here is a shot of my backyard at the moment. LOL All bagseed out for the season.

I also am taking the Redwood outdoors to finish.

I was planning on chopping my other indoors this week but they are pushing pistils again and looks like the buds are still ripening so I will be leaving them alone. Coming up on day 55 of flower so I will let them go for 2 more weeks at the most. Nothing but water and molasses from now on. Is that the finish line that I see? LOL

looks great bro im in cali and doing indoors while i wait for outdoor
i got questiong though if i plant in april how long will they veg for till they start flowering?

Thanks man.. Depends on the strain. I have heard a few people say that they have planted early and pulled 2 harvests and others just have monsters that start to flower in late June early July. I am not the one to ask though. I would swing by Dirrtyd or FDD's threads and see what those guys have to say. I watched both of their grows last year and learned a LOT from those guys posts.

Good luck man!

Yard is starting to look good...how big are those holes you dug? Hard to scale from the pic...I'm loving it, i'll definately be starting an outdoor thread in the next 3 or 4 weeks...Keep it up dawg!

Not sure about how deep they are. LOL I think that they are about 12-18 inches deep but I haven't actually measured them yet. Just got a nice break in the weather and started digging. I already have 4 in the ground and 1 the whore mother green crack out there. According to Dirrtyd I can toss the Redwood out there and she will finish outside. I will be back in a sec with some "through the loupe" pics.
