Rough in the shop today had to take out the plants and move them outside for a bit...tent coming soon and I can work out the details over summer. But wife is having a fit over how much I need to spend to get the heat issue resolved. This will give me a chance to wire up the used helios8 I got and make my breakers safe 😆. Went ahead and hooked up the vented hood outside and ran 25 feet of ducting 10 foot draw from the window and 15 foot exauhst almost straight up. Still going to have to move the babies outside during heatwaves. Got 85 outside and temp shot up to 100 in the shop with light on. Wife was home to move them and realized wtf I was talking about. Going to cool off a bit the next couple days and I'll see what happens. But moving them is my only option till the tent arrives. Happy growing!!

Oh me oh my can't wait till that tent comes got temps rising into the 90s from forecast. Can't keep it cool enough in the shop for that now...going to put it off till I get situated. So in the cooled house they'll go probably Saturday evening. Still thinking alot about what I can do in a different scenario. I'm over this wierd weather too cold at night too hot in the day wtf.
Anyways going good so far for the most part... I had an accident with one of the gg#4s. I tied the plant to itself like I have before but the node spacing was so tight that she topped herself under the pressure of growing after 2 days 😥. Didn't really seem to phase her but took her down to the 2nd node of growth tips. Good thing I didn't try lollypopping....bummer. She seems to be focusing on those top growth tips now but I'm not going to do much lst anymore. It always turns into hst when they're small. I like photos and training big plants this auto stuff has me smh. Seeing as they have a time line instead of a veg time... I'm such a klutz and won't be trying to do anything special now from here on out. Just going to let em do their thing. Thought I'd get lucky and try to clone it lol...it's doing okay atm but who knows I might get a bowl or 2 😉.
Funny thing the Skywalker was supposed to be the longer of the flowering times but looks to already have pistils. The gg#4 was supposed to be the fastest but no pistils. Just waiting on the tent to keep a stable environment for them while I work on making the environment stable in the shop. Have a great day all and happy growing!!!

Guess my fim was actually a topping 😆. Growth tips are shooting up every where on the Skywalkers. Gg#4s are fattening up and starting some verticle growth but concerned that they aren't autos. You can clearly see pistils and preflowers on the Skywalkers but none on the gg#4s. The gg was supposed to be the fastest flowering time???
Enjoying the sunshine for now till the tent gets set up. But I'm worried the gg#4s are photos... I can't accommodate the light schedule for them and don't know what I will do if they don't start showing signs of flowering. The nodes are so tight it's hard to train them. Skywalkers are easier to train with more node spacing and many growth tips to choose from for lst. Gave them a good amount of water for the first time but they're drinking a lot from enduring this hot weather. The tent will change stuff up a bit and hoping I can run my Helios 8 on a double pole 15 amp breaker... I need an electricians advice.
DANGERDAN will I be okay to run the helios8 just plugged in to that circut? There's other breakers I could probably tap into but would have to do some wiring that isn't in my field of expertise. I don't have the materials to hard wire it so was hoping I would be okay running the 240v draw from the helios8 on the double pole 15amp breaker without problems. Planning on running 1600 watts so I won't really be maxing out the draw..that's not counting fans and exhaust though. I have an ac running on a different circut that is also a double pole 15 amp breaker and had fans and a 1000watt light running at the same time without tripping but I don't want to start a fire or pop breakers with the helios8. Was just going to get a plug to wire into my used helios8, the guy ran it to a basic 120 outlet with a 240v breaker and was wondering if a 120 plug would be okay as well?
Pics of the little girls 😃. Happy growing!!!

Seriously thinking of manifolding this gg#4 if it's not an auto....still no pistils 😠neither seem to be autos. Might be stuck growing these outside and just bring them in when the weather changes up maybe run another ballast in my shop when the weather favors 😉.
Skywalkers are starting to stretch and lots of pistils...sunshine has done wonders just keep getting random bug attacks. But I now have a Daddylongleg 🕷 in one pot and another spider that was hiding under some foliage when I did some minor lst 😎. I'll let them move on when the food supply is gone 😆.
Got them in the new tent now and hoping I can run both of my lights...thinking of getting a generator. We'll see what happens. Might just have to finish em up outside and figure something out for August. I hope this tent works...pics 23days from seed.

Well we have pistils on the gg#4 now. They must have heard me talking about taking cuttings and vegging them for another 4 weeks 😆. Hopefully we'll be seeing some budlets soon but for now I'm happy they have pistils. Enjoying the sun today bipolar weather had them in the shop for a couple days...they like the sun more then my 1000watt hps 😉. A little bug damage here and there but no infestations...they've been nibbling and moving on not too much else I can do about it.
Skywalkers are stacking up nicely 😃.

Looking great Chefbjy! These are autos, correct? Thinking of growing autos this Fall/winter.
What is your light schedule for them? TIA

GreenState they are autos....I'm running my lights at night they go outside during the day and go in at 530 to get a little dark time...not completely dark until 7 and I turn the lights on around 930-10pm. Maybe 3 hours of complete darkness 😉.

Haha this has been fairly easy with water only. One recovered from a major mistake and topped itself under pressure. She grew three major branches so thick and full with plenty of side branches and budsites coming off her.
I have to thank Weed Pharma again for the recipe. I've branched off myself and decided to create my own soil for dhgc. More amended roots organics for photos and I'm going to add some natural amendments to these just to make sure they have the p and k they need 😉. I gave Campesino my recipe hope he can keep up with all this stuff going on.
I'll help anyway I can Campesino...just let me know how. 😃 😉.
