CaliforniaKid's Dark Harvest Grow Challenge

Chefbjy
I have 2 phenos of the dgth, one is longer/more leggy. The other tighter nodes and more bushy.

The leggy one seems to be part rubber plant, just makes nice bends without creases. Likely easy to train.
The bush will force me to take cuttings, giving opportunity for clones. We'll see, it sounds good anyway...😁🤔

All have been topped. GC is really bushy, tight nodes.
DGTH have been adjusted to their new shape, removed a couple of leaves and added a few more stakes.
 
She sure is spreading out nicely. Wish I could say the same for my gc seeds whatever they are 😉.
 
Still need that ac huh? 😉. I have to take mine out already feeling fall up to a high of 67f 😆.
 
Chefbjy The ac may stay as it is a heater/dehumidifier as well. But it still gets hot during the day, and I don't have a vented hood yet. Although a vented hood with a bigger exhaust fan would pay for itself in one month of savings on the electric bill.
 
shotgun980 the previous occupants couldn't park without hitting the car into the wall. I just covered the hole with glass lol.


Got my neem/sm90 with soap and kelp sprayed while lights are out for a few more hours. Sprayed top to bottom over and under, sprayed intakes & exhaust, walls, door seal, outside of the exhaust vent (outdoors) the backyard starting at the vent working outwards. Finishing up with my yard plants.

F-U pesty bugs ! Take some of THAT .
 
I may have to do that as well lmao. I'm hoping the de bti and sticky traps will solve my problem before I spray neem on my girls. 😉
 
Chefbjy Since I started spraying this mix at the beginning of each grow, no problems what so ever. I hang a yellow sticky card but I don't have any bugs on it. And I'm casual about taking off clothes that I've been out in before entering my room. Knock on wood.
 
I use a few baby skinks and some toads. Add a few ladybugs and throw in a few praying mantis. All from my yard. Havent had an issue since
 
I got lots of spiders in my shop even found a mosquito hawk and a few lady bugs. Something I've yet to introduce into a tent grow. But I wouldn't mind a couple spiders like daddy long legsand such.
 
Sometimes breaking old way of thinking is difficult. I'm running 3 plants because that was all my old light could support. Last night I adjusted my light a bit and wow. I got rid of some shaded area. I can get 1-2 more plants in there easily! That's at least 2+ zips per.

In my defense I wasn't thinking of flipping soon in the challenge, I was thinking veg out 3 monters. Silly mistakes like these prevent efficient grows. This is how I learn.

I had a thought, and I would like to see what others opinions are...

Too late to add more plants, flip is scheduled for a few days from now, and I'm not filling the light footprint.
Money spent on electricity needs to be well spent and accounted for but more importantly I don't want to run out anymore!. I wasn't thinking ahead when planning this out, happens often.

1)So here I am wondering would a few more weeks fill the canopy and return a significantly higher yeild ?

2)Would I be in bad form to excuse myself from the challenge to be financially responsible and squeeze the most out of this grow?

3)Should I stick with the plan, flip & finish these and try to rock one more grow before full summer temps hit ?
After all this was a quick veg & flip grow. Monster crop?(doing this either way)

I need to make weight so I will have enough stock to last through summer and until the next harvest.(nearly a pound if not a little more). I'm sure I could get the quantity with this light if given enough plants or allowed to veg long enough.

I don't jump ship, I see things through when I start. But I'm getting a lil older and recognize that sometimes it's ok to admit when I make mistakes and rather than throw money out the window. Withdraw from the challenge to be financially efficient.

My wife says that this isn't a waste of money because of how much I enjoy it. But I don't want to burn money because it makes a pretty glow.

What say you?
