too ,much light?

my CFLs are 1 x 375w equivalent (55real) and the other smaller - 250 equivalent i think for 4 plants....
perhaps the garden time is holding them up..

[Saturn]

i'll put them on 12 12 for a while see if it speeds things up....

Okay..when I said a month..did not realize they were possible autos..

Sounds like your still not sure...can you just leave them outside and let the Sun take care of it...if they are autos the 12/12 will slow them down...

[Saturn]

Hi Green - no problem with your advice or estimate, no criticism at all you've been extremely helpful - thankyou.

the only prob with sitting them outside is the nighttime temps - still sometimes 10 to 12 degress c - is that too cold for them?

i think they have to be auto as they grew pistills with no changes in the light schedule

2 are defo autos (as we bought them)

[Saturn]

sun is up for about 12 hours here now so same difference, just the worry about the temperature

[Green75]

Put bamboo sticks in pot around edge wrap with plastic at night...or bring in...Sun light is better than four cfls for sure..

Good luck with whatever you decide...best wishes to the patient in need!!

Green - thank you so much - for the advice, information and well wishes.

Very best wishes to you too.

A thousand blessings upon you!

HI GWE,

well - i think we're getting there, it's been a bit of a slog but the leading 2 girls are definitely getting closer and the other 2 are showing good signs. This has been a good learning curve, also learned about not counting your chickens - the girls have been slower than expected - i guess due to nutrition and light mainly.

I may also have been underwatering a bit - which is a shame as the guides are pretty clear on how to water but i notcied after a real dowsing there was a real big improvement next day. Lso the sun has been out a lot more so like i said - we're getting there.

The RSO for our patient is at rock bottom and i estimate we'll need a couple more weeks before the harvest, then I'll be looking at speed drying for at least some of the herb and get that oil made.
More pics to follow internet permitting....


Any /all comments very welcome. Thanks for your support GWE!
Feel the love

should mention as well the RSO kicks arse, there was a bit spilled one time and .. well - OMG....

[Green75]

They look good and I am happy for you!!!
long time coming!! Almost there!!

[Saturn]

theyre not as awesome as lots that i see on here, but theyve done their best in imperfect conditions. fingers crossed they do the job on this cancer.

Looong time without any action. I wanted to say thank you so much to all who offered help and advice last year - especially Green and Nartak.

Sadly my Mum in law lost her battle last May.

One day I'll be back to try growing again with the proper set up, in the mean time, a million thank yous to you all and thanks for being such a great community!

Peace!
