They definitely stretched some I just have to remember this is a experiment for us this year we are not seeing huge results but enough to keep this grow going we didn't get any snow out of the last storm just lots of rain

Last time they came around I couldn't afford them. Shit I remember going to a kiss concert in late 70's and tickets were like 15 bucks at the Forum. Im so old now I don't even know how to find out who's playing anymore. Used to listen to KLOS or KMET and that's how you knew who was coming to play. There isn't anymore rock stations anymore.

@TWS:If you are still down here in SoCal try 100.3. Most of the cool DJs like Uncle Jo Benson on there now since KLOS went Disney. Jim Ladd is on Sirius radio too

Greenhouse update.
Since we are not running heaters in the greenhouse, the cold nights are stifling the flower growth. The plants are all alive but flowers are very slow in forming. I'm afraid we were too late in planting this season. These flowers should be finishing now, not just starting. I'm not sure what will come out of these, however we have a full set waiting in the wings for a march planting, & they will do much better. If we had been able to plant these in Oct, they would be ready to harvest now....

Those things are pissed off . The few years I have run all season I have found that November thru February tend to be the toughfest months. If you end up having an indian summer things go better. Not this year I yanked my hoop house plants and are bringing more up for march.
Winter solstice is this week then we start on the uphill swing.

Always testing....

You may still get soem yield but likely not enough to make the work it takes worth it. It's colder up in norcal too... Hopefully i will be following along w my own outdoor cycles this year! March 1 planting would.be great!

If I was you guys and didn't need the greenhouse right away I would hang some cfl lights in their and put them on a timer to put them back in a veg state. In early march I'd flip them and put them in flower or maybe middle to late Feb at the earliest. They will withstand some cold. I've had it down really cold where the leaves were frozen but didn't hurt the plants. It's been down in the early teens and didn't have a problem. I had one variety that kicked the bucket at 17 though. Frost will do more damage than anything so I had fans blowing.
I have done this and gotten some yield in my greenhouse. No where near a normal harvest but it's gonna be light years ahead of what it is now.
A couple years back I put some out in March and got some bud which I harvested but left the bottom of the plant and it ended up going back to veg naturally and I got 2.5lbs off her In the fall.
Just something to think about.
