Indoor virgin, wish me luck

Hope you have some kind of light over them to stave off flowering. Or are you considering them expendable? Several are possible males and the small ones have been mistreated their whole life. I'm not expecting much. Will they start? We've got over 13 hrs...

Several are possible males and the small ones have been mistreated their whole life. I'm not expecting much. Will they start? We've got over 13 hrs of light now I think. Thanks for the heads up.

I put some out in the middle of April last year, and everyone of them flowered. Northern California. I’ve heard that even a halfway strong porch light shining on them for a few hours after dusk can prevent it. But I don’t know from experience. I guess we will see!
 
After getting Hermed last year when I was a little “casual” with light after dark, you should see my grow room now. It’s ridiculous. Not just covered windows, but weatherstrip on the hall door and a tarp over the tent. I ain’t playin!

No night vision goggles yet, though. I draw the line there! 🤣

Oh man I know I'm just going to fuck something up. I'll crank up the porch light, it's on a timer. Great advice! I didn't even think about that. Fish and molasses for the greenery today.

You have a great point. I think most of them are males in the fabric pots, 3 or 4, and the others are my first tortured few. I'll crank up the light just in case. Thanks again!

3 mostly confirmed males kicked off the island. I'm still considering collecting some pollen. They look very healthy. Now only nine in the tent. I think all the blue dreams are female.

1 super lemon haze x 91 chem dawg, 1 malawi x dogtrap x golden glue, and one I'm not sure, I can't remember the last one but I'll report it when I get home, hacked off to death and added to compost yesterday. I guess that frees up some living soil for up potting, for who ever survives the next round of GENDER IDENTITY DEATH MATCH 2023. Sorry no pictures lately. I have half the plants in the tent that I did a week ago and I just looks like a beautiful, lush, green, overcrowded nightmare. I'll post one later. Very soon I need to set up a @CannaGranny scrogg with a few of the survivors. Looks like all the blue dreams will be girls. Still waiting on six or ten more. I've lost count. Peace!

Dammit all! I think one or possibly two of my three plants are showing the first symptoms of revegging at 4.5 wks of flower. I don’t want revegging. I want flowers. My tent, which I was happy with in my first two grows, is now showing light leaks where there is stitching.

It’s not one of the big brands so I guess I’ll look for recommendations for a 4’x4’ that is higher quality. I’m tall, so I might need to go with Gorilla with the height extension. My LED bar lamp is 480 true watts, I think that’ll be fine for a 4x4. That was the original plan (eventually sizing up to 4x4, I mean).

Any others I should consider?

Please kick me if I EVER talk about doing a dark cycle during daylight hours!! Bad idea, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Back to adding another layer of tent covering…. And extending an already extended grow. 😡

I can't do lights out through the day because that's when I work on my plants and plant room..I tried it once and I fked up my grow because of neglect. I either had to get at it real early or lights went out and I'd just let them go dry.....nope not for me........you may want a tent in a tent if you try that again through the day a 5x5 around a 4x4 or?

Boo, that blows.

Tent in a tent, hmmmmm......
 
I took a pic tonight. The tent plants seem pretty girlie. I have banished all the apparent males, and dispatched 3. Hoping to switch soon. I'm thinking 1 blue dream, 2 super lemon haze, one slh x 91 chem dawg in a 4 x 4 scrogg. Is that too many? I'm trying to do all setiva for simplicity. I also need to do an outside grow but that's another stress filled nightmare, but fun.... are 3 gallon fabric pots with living soil OK for the scrogg?

Very interesting idea! But I think I’ll just follow the sun cycle. No need to mock Mother Nature.

In places where Power Companies have an off hours rates it can be huge savings to run lights on 6pm -6am or 10 am flower/veg. I like to be there at lights out and those off hours don't work for me and my power company only offers those off hour rates to big companies / corporations not home owners.
 
I do 6 p.m. to 12 noon veg and 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. flower. Rate charges in my area are calculated by multiplying watts by highest demand. Pulling 600 watts at night puts me in their cheapest rate.

Night temps are cooler so I can utilize outdoor cool air to cool the lung room if home air isn't doing it.

Yep, the temperature angle was one thing that appealed to me about running a light all night then off during the day.

I happened to find some huge 55 gallon black bags at Kroger. After testing, I find that two layered almost completely blocks light from the 3 windows (😱) in my lung room. Couple minor adjustments with tape or staples will clear that up.

I don’t think local homes are offered off hours metering for electric svc. But my bill is gentle. I just stay away from summertime grows.
