Grow #2 started with clones I rooted and revegged in June about a week into flowering from plants I harvested July 29 and Aug 4. I needed to sort my gnats , which are sorted. The smudge on the yellow card is where I leaned in and got it stuck to my forehead and had to pry it off my face with a dirty paw. There needs to be a warning on those things.
All 3 are the same because I don't think they are what they came out of, and it's really good stuff and I didn't get any seeds, even though it was in a tent with one that I now know is a herm. Went to 1- gallon pots from 4" to make it easier to treat if my gnats should turn nasty. Thanks to crucialbunny for the suggestion, I mixed diatomaceous earth in the soil before I added it to the pots, and sprinkled a little on top. No new gnats in either tent. I have peroxide and BTI as back-up plans. Small victories these days.
We're expecting our warmest temps of the year on Sunday (90F a few blocks from Canada and the ocean), so it will be a good time to see how stable the garage really is temp wise. The lights are budget LEDs and I'll move the plants nearer to them once this heat is past. I'm running the lights during the day (18/6) for veg to get the temp up and fooling around with the ventilation to maintain the humidity at something less than the Amazon Rain forest and more than a popcorn fart. Summer continues to be bizarre in the weather department up north.
Transplanted the ones I plan to keep for cuttings, too. Have more that need homes, gotta make room to start a few new seeds. Before that happens, I need to make a flowchart so I know when to start the seeds so they will be ready when this batch comes off - in about 2.5-3 months? I don't want to have too much going at the same time; I've seen some of y'all's enthusiasm and I get palpitations just seeing that many going at once - especially when each one might need something different. Baby steps. These 3 will go into 5-gallon containers in about 3 weeks, unless they turn radioactive and need it sooner. Training starts when the heat has passed and they've become used to their new digs.
Happy Friday
