We hit 109 today. No lube necessary!

Still 104 at 8:15pm. Fn brutal on the AC bill.
This is why I'm shut down until fall

I’ve been battling them off and on since last summer, I bought an ever bearing strawberry plant and was growing it in a pantry in the kitchen. That’s how they got into my house. I used a homemade mixture of h202 , isopropyl alcohol and lemon juice. Captain Jack’s, Mammoth thyme oil extract, and most recently Grow safe bio pesticides. The lil shits disappear for a while and reappear mid flower.

I had some red ones show up on my first grow, they multiplied like crazy even after the harvest. I think they came from my lemon tree that later died and they showed up late in flower. The next one I just did one auto and they showed up again early in flower. I know this is a big no no but I killed them with neem oil. Harvest tasted good and certainly taste or smell like neem. The same spider mites that were on the lemon tree were on a rosemary. If I recall correctly both plants are supposedly said to keep spider mites away from other plants and themselves. I bleached the crap out of grow room and everything before the next harvest. Neemed the surviving rosemary. Haven’t seen them since. I bleach after every grow. The soil from the plants went to the trash not the compost.

It’s gets hot and humid on the East Coast Mid Atlantic ,,, not like that ! 100 f , 1 hr after sunset is crazy

Good afternoon Farm

111 in the shade today

I burnt both my hands
fumbling with my gate
lock, which was in the
shade..

I just ordered some
graphite lock lube.

This won't happen again

It was 117.

His tumbler is boogered up. He’s burning himself on hot metal like the old school seatbelts.

Same here 104 was 115 about 2 hours ago. I really don’t notice much of change in my summer electric bill when growing. I keep the house cold too. Granted I am using dirt and not hydro like you. This year my temperature is several degrees cooler in my grow room and another room next the recirculating filter for the ac after opening the vents more and I have less energy use then last year.

You have higher humidity so you get swamp balls immediately and it’s harder to breathe. We get swamp balls but it takes longer. Here’s the best way I can describe it. If you fly in for your first time phoenix sky harbor and you exit into Arizona summer weather it’s like a hot blow dryer hitting you. Then we get the monsoon storm which will temporarily increase humidity and you can feel it. It’s gross, but night swamp ass vinegar balls gross.

I got a stupid question @FloridaMike , well not stupid but I just don’t know the answer. Do homes in AZ typically have basements ? And do basements in the desert stay naturally cool, like they do here in the northeast?

 

[Putthataway]

I am not Florida Mike but I am in Arizona. Hardly any basements, the mines they go down in temp as you get lower. That’s how miners were able to get down and the canary. That’s probably not going to happen if you can build a basement foundation.

I don't know. @Putthataway might know. There is a lot of solid rock out here, everywhere. I don't think it would be very conducive for basements. If you were able to dig or blast a basement out here, it would naturally be a bit cooler. Natural average underground temp is appx 72f in the SW (down to 100'.

• 72°F is a good approximation for natural ground temp in warmer climates (especially in the South and Southwest U.S.).
• It’s why root cellars, basements, and geothermal HVAC systems work so well — nature provides a steady temp once you’re a few feet down.

• Below ~6–10 feet, temperatures become stable year-round, unaffected by weather or season.
• Go deeper (100+ feet), and it begins rising about 1°F per 70 feet — this is the geothermal gradient.

They're so cute at that age

Speaking of which, my DIL just texted me a vid of my 45 day old granddaughter smiling and cooing. Literally just looked at that and then saw your comment.

On the Page Thirty Six Thirty Six​

(to the cadence of “In the Year 2525”)
On the page... thirty six, thirty six...
I wonder how... we all jive and mix...
Through the scroll... and the smoke, and the signs...
Words unfold... like a trail through time...

You say a thing... and I feel it too...
A thought takes shape... in a cloud of blue...
Some just lurk... and some go deep...
Some plant seeds... while others reap...
If the vibe... still holds and sticks...

We'll be high... come thirty eight-oh-six...
'Cause the Train... don’t stop, don’t slow...
It rolls through minds... wherever they go...

We don't ask... for much from fate...
Just truth and weed... and a clean ol' slate...
And when the trolls... come knockin' through...
We just laugh... and spark a few...

And we gather... at the Train Wreck thread...
Where the living speak... and the lost ain’t dead...
A sacred loop... of words and flame...
Where no one here... stays quite the same...

We don’t need... no temple bricks...
We got truth... on page three-six-three-six...
In every spark... and every strain...
We find ourselves... then fade again...

Remember when she was starting out and there was a question of whether or not you were watering too often? I wonder if this was a byproduct of overwatering an autoflower? Seems weird, I’ve never seen anything like that personally, definitely interested in what caused it though.

Yeah it's possible when it got stunted that it created a bottleneck bulb like that.

WOW, TALK ABOUT A WINTER WONDERLAND

 

[SunshineSupergirl]

With that space efficiency... HOLY BALLS.

I hope to make use of the space better next month.

Planning on starting again in August.

My room is in a basement and the temp NEVER changes from 65. Winter, summer, whatever, I got 65.

I get 64-67 or so year round in the basement. In practical terms I can use about 550 watts for light inside tent and maintain 75 degrees. And more lights and I need some more cooling.
I have a unused upstairs room I am thinking of running the register run to the basement room as it is right above the grow room.
Or a small AC in room ducted out.

Can't get much better than that.
