Shop grow

Chefbjy I looked closeup at the ladybug and the trichomes: you ought to send some pics to Nebula for the newsletter; it's a stunning pic, and I'd love to see one with lots of ladybugs.

They were all over the place yesterday. I must have counted 25 before I gathered a few. Saving a few from a spider and put them in my shop. Think I got 10 of em. Hopefully they stay away from the spiders 😉.

You and your plants are givin out them really good vibes and attracting allies.

Got some friends 😃.

Californiakid I always water with warm water around 70-75f. Defiantly need to get some mats and cables to grow out in the shop. And thank you, I enjoy growing so much and have put in a lot of work to make multiple spaces. But it will all be worth it in the long run 😉. ✌

Chef I must say I am envious of your multiple rooms. Those buds pics are purdy !

When you water, do you check the water temp? When its cold here I keep my water jugs in the house to stay warm. My wife even lets me brew my tea in the house. That and the seedling heat mats kept my soil in the zone.

What DAAS says.

Thanks D.A.A.S.69. They'll be fine with the temps but my soil is suffering 😉. Lol I'm okay with the plants...is that wierd? To care more about your soil then your plants? Haha they're getting some yellow leaves now that doesn't worry me, but I'm more concerned with the health of my soil. I want to reuse and re amend it adding some fresh soil I have been trying to cook up. But I'm going to use it for my cover crop this year and add mulch and worms. ✌

[D.A.A.S.69]

Chefbjy, They look nice to me, that cool weather does magic stuff to your plants, colors look great, and even taste better, imo.
MJ, can handle stress, when they know they ain't got long to live,
I remember plenty of times ,MJ, an Honeysuckle were the last resemblance of green in the woods, this is after several frosts too, that cold weather was just what the Dr. ordered, best smoke ever, too, if they get mature.

Waiting on my paycheck for heat mats and cables. Things showed down a little due to colder soil temps. I keep expecting more swelling but hard for a plant to metabolize in this cold. Aerated the soil with a stake and dropped some kelplex, langbeinite, and epson salt in the holes.

Going to pick up some straw or alphalpha to go on top. I might pick up a couple 20gallon pots with some straw on the bottom, place the plants in and add more straw. Another lesson learned, next time I'll be prepared for an early winter 😉.

i guess they're working on the lower stuff first before they decide to start bulking up. But mother nature got the best of me here, no sun for months, rain, and cold days. At night it's even worse low 40s and barely maintaining high 50s in the shop making my soil work harder. I should have taken these steps sooner but we'll get these buds to harvest.

They smell great and don't think they're gg#4 plants just from the aroma. There's a titch of a grape, fuel, and pine scent that lingers on the photoperiod side. And a smell of bubblegum, fruit, and skunk coming from the auto side. Needless to say the smell around here is pleasing and intense 😊. HappyGrowing all here's a couple pics from the photoperiod room.

Thank you. She's been needing water quite often in that 3 gallon. But now I know what to expect so definitely will be cramming a bunch of em together in 1 gallons this coming spring. ✌

Last year I got some heating pads and a separate thermostat with a temp probe when it went under set temp on they went

[D.A.A.S.69]

Yeah, she is beautiful, I love that fade, I've even had the main stalk turn pale yellow, several times, You can flush if you want to, but you want be able to tell the difference. If you do,
I believe you could have grown that jewell, in a one gallon pot,
I've grown several short-fast autos in 1gallon pots before, a Bubblelicious auto, and several short Mephistos ,and they did fine, plus the SourCrack from Mephisto im growing now, she is also going to be small,
I sure love these small autos though, its some killer smoke too.
That's a pretty plant.

[alltatup]

Yes, I am going to grow some in the Spring. I have some GG and Jack H autos that are definitely going in the germination tray...
