You have your little plants on at least 18/6 or 24/0 lights, dont you?

They should be! They are on a timer. I will double check.

Unless they are autos, plants shouldnt flower (even males as far as I know) unless on less than 16 hours light, 18+ better but...

I tried to tell y'all...weird things happen with me.

Holy cow ! This is funny , and yes , your'e not kidding , weird things happen to you !

Not only are they looking male to me , but now you say they are seeded..... you girls are too much !

Can you ask who ever gave you a hermi clone , why they did that without telling you !

Also , i have to change my mini trophy to a new category , and now , mayybe your prize will be a package of bacon.....

 

[dire wolf]

Ugh. Now I feel guilty for some reason.

When they were given to me, they were just seedlings, so I didn't realize they were males either. However, now they have been hanging out in my realm of oddities, so...

Did you check your timer to make sure they are getting at least 18 hours of light per day?

 

[KLight03]

Did you check your timer to make sure they are getting at least 18 hours of light per day?

So, you see, here's the thing...

No.

The timer was set on 12. I had asked for it to be changed.

I will gain mobility back and I will run this whole thing by myself without having to ask for help.

That is all.

Also...if any of you out there have a significant other and you are sick...go to the fucking doctor. It's not just about you.

Thank you. Peace be with you.

As an FYI, the frustration is directed at my helpful husband. Apologies if it seemed misdirected.

He also happened to mention he had turned off the air conditioner yesterday and I was left wondering why I was sweating my ass off all night. This is one of those things you DON'T do when your wife is in menopause, especially when the thermoregulator is broken anyway.

 

[DreamsOfDiesel]

Lol, this is why I do it all myself. I allow him to look at them under supervision but when I'm not home that door is locked. Things get jacked when someone else has their fingers in the mix, at least for me. I tend to do things little different than most though so I have to watch my tents with extreme vigilance right now until I get everything worked out

Until you get everything worked out? What's up?

As an FYI, I don't venture much out of my little corner here. Not because I'm being a jerk, but because things tend to get sideways emotionally and most of it is because I get lost. I don't like getting lost (think in a room full of hallways here). This confusion business I have going on is jerking my ego around, but I'm also learning to be kind to myself for not being perfect all the time (upbringing).

Lol, just basics, all new environment, lights, & genetics. Poor plants at start so been battling gnats (will probably always have those with promix in humid as hell st louis area lol) & thrips from day 1, now a little pm reared its ugly head few days ago. Have way too many plants in too small areas. Working out ventilation for low power & tiny area. 1 day my temps were 96f & humidity 99%, hahaha lucky they didnt all die that day. Plus I stress them purposely to see who can take what. Just really got too much new stuff on my plate at once but I can handle it, maybe not perfectly lol.

Have way too many plants in too small areas. Working out ventilation for low power & tiny area. 1 day my temps were 96f & humidity 99%, hahaha lucky they didnt all die that day.

I actually do know what I'm doing mostly, it just doesnt appear that way right now lol

Hey dreams , try spinosad for pests ...

 

[KLight03]

I'm totally with you on that!!! I'm doing the same. Reiki practice, some sort of alternative kitchen thing with the medicinal vinegars, etc, and this along with my medicinal herbalism class.

Everything I do, I start to see what falls off because it all sounds good, you know? Then I start learning which is important and which isn't. Normally I end up with two directions and I'm good with that. This time, it's all the things and nothing is falling by the wayside. I even had an old business that just tried to rear it's head and I ALMOST picked it up again, but my husband was like, "No, you have to choose something, it will be too overwhelming." He's right, especially with the cog dysfunction.

Well, I have some in paper bags and some hanging.

 

[DreamsOfDiesel]

Been alternating weekly spinosad soap & 3 in 1 organic spray, plus peroxide in soil & spray of alcohol/water occasionally. Thought thrips were gone & slacked off, my mistake, back to aggressive treatments in veg

Hey k , i know you like to do things your way , but leaving alll the fan leaves on and not trimming will create a more lengthly dry time that migjt be undesirable ,
I would suggest taking the fan leaves off at least , you dont want to end up with mold ...
Just my suggestion , others might disagree .....

Agreed. I'm clipping them after three days. It takes about three days or so, depending on how big the bracts are for the medicine to retract to the core. The core being the buds. I'm checking every day for signs of mold and I've got an big hepa air purifier in the middle of the apt to help.
