I mix 1 teaspoon in 1 gal

This is the upper limit per their recommendations (in veg for older plants) totally do you and your plants, just wanted to throw that out there as this stuff seems to make things happen quicker than say, gaia green amended in. Im no green leaf expert either so grain of salt this all the way to the “filing cabinet” if you want! : )

Hey that was me with the layers about a week ago . In the 20's an breezy my bones can't take the freezer temps like I use to. I suppose if I'd been raised in it an knew no difference then maybe?
I mix 1 teaspoon in 1 gal . I've not used a gallon on these yet so the rest goes on my houseplants.

Being raised in it is no protection, especially since the last 5 years have been relatively mild compared to this year. The snow and cold remind us of the way it 'used to be', but we're older now and can't take it like when we were young. We laugh about the weekend we moved from our apartment to our new house in January 1983 and the weatherman said the temp broke records and was coldest days of the century. LOL

Thanks Bear, I intend to be very conservative in my feeding so I don't over do it this time.

For sure! : ) definitely keep an eye on things

I'm so envious of your warm weather. Had to put 3 layers on just to walk out to the mailbox. Geesch.
Your plants are so healthy and green, how much Megacrop do you use? I'm going to be very careful with feed this time.

Come on. It's a dry cold. Ya can't even get wet. It freezes before it can make it thru your clothes.

Yes it is! In fact the driveway snow just evaporated a couple of days ago, after the sun finally showed itself. LOL
(and after I had shoveled 3 days in a row.)

I just finally got my snowblower dug outta the garage, today. Hadn't used in years. Started 3rd pull.

Looked like a snowman , when I got done. Beard mustache all frozen.

At least it wasn't like the blizzard of 78. Damn wipper snappers of today, know nothing about cold n snow.

Morning Farmers
This is wk 5 update for Blue Dream and RS-11. In the tent pic the BD is on the R. It's 2x as tall and wide compared to the RS-11. I started LST last friday and they are both topped now. I did'nt bend over the main stalk cause both got to stiff on me and i did'nt want to snap it so i'm just pining down the branches hoping to direct them in the spread.
I've not watered since Monday and i lift the pots which are still abit heavy. My tent temps stay around 78f higher if i shut the tent door but i don't. Room temps stay about 68-70f humidity goes from 60% down to 35% after about a hr. of light on. I have trimed off more larger fans so i could see what's happening and blocking the bud sites. I will not trim anymore leaf for a couple wks i'd like to flip to flower at 7wks and get on with it LOL. I'll update in another 7days until then tootle loo and may your doobies not run!!

That one sucked. I lost lots of hours because of it and I needed the cash. I joined the Navy that August never been back.

Your plants look so good. 35% humidity is pretty low for the plants, isn't it? I've been trying to keep mine at 50% and the windows keep sweating. I know that's not good, but if I can drop the humidity, "that would be greeaaat.". LOL

 

[Galgrows]

Thanks @cpurola yes that's a issue i've always had in winter grows here. House stays warm but dry indoors. This morning before i fed them it read 55% RH and 75f. It gets higher RH when lights are out. Yesterday morning when i was clipping leaves i had alittle bit of condinsation where the leaf were touching eachother. And i switched the pots this morning to see if it happens again on a different plant in that spot? It's no big deal just gives me something to ponder?

Maybe another fan would clear that up? I have 3 of the AC Infinity inside the tent plus an oscillating stand outside the open door of my tent.

Good foggy morning from Oregon wk. 6 of veg for these 2. Staked down side branches and removed somemore large leaves blocking bud sites. Man if i had been further along in the season with these i'd be taking clones for outdoor. That first plant pic of the blue dream is just teasing me to take some clones. I can't it's to long till this tent will be empty and i've got no large space to keep clones going for 3-4months till my outdoor begins. It kills me she's gonna be a beast when i flip to flower. I've got her as low as i she can go without snapping something. I just keep adjusting the shepherds hooks i made from fabric pins.

The 2nd pic is the RS-11xOkie huge size difference. She's well behaved easy plant just alot smaller strain. They were fed yesterday 60oz each with some runoff on the RS11 but none on blue dream she drank it all. Kinda tells me she was very thirsty. I do pour slowly and wet down the whole medium. I think this is the 3rd feeding they've gotten. Anyhoo that's about it for update comments and questions welcome. bye for now

You've put so much love into these plants, do you know if they're girls yet?

Update wk 7 of veg and they have been flipped to flower today. I wanted to wait another week for the RS-ll x Okie to get larger but the Blue Dream is taking up alot of space so they are in flower mode today.
I don't start counting days in flower till i start seeing baby budlets the tiniest of beginning flower. And i don't go by breeder flowering times it's just a rough estimate to me i do check trichs and the degregation of the plant. That will be a good 2 months away.
So i made a decision not to use Megacrop for flower but to go with something else i've used many times and i had it in my cubboard. So that's it. It's just starting to snow here on the valley floor no surprise winter is very late coming. I don't like it LOL it should'nt be here for long, generally it's just pounding rain for weeks on in but temps dropped. I need to run a few errands yuck.........for reasons in my following post. I hope folks are staying well and those of you that are sick please stay safe and drink lots of steamy teas, keep warm and stay home if possible.

OK farm family here goes the story 110% fact on how this dog came into my home.

3 nights ago around midnight or so i'm not sure of the time i just was shouting at my 2 dogs to quite down do to insesive barking. I have a doggy dog from my kitchen to my garage and leads to my back yard.
So again about 3:30a.m. My dog Sonny is going bark crazy in my kitchen i freakin gave up and got up to check what the heck was going on. I flip on the garage light walk out in the darkness outside don't see anything but as i head back into the garage there in the corner is this black animal curled up under one of my lawn chairs.
Scared the shit out of me i really didn' t know what it was cause it is black as can be then it lifted it's head. Holy cannoli a friggin standard poodle just as timid as can be laying there. It had broke a fence board and was able to squeeze thru. I just was shocked.
It was sooo matted could barely see. Must of been outside for a long time roaming the hills. Full on berry vines tangled in her fur, LOADED with ticks. Oh shit was all i could say. Never ever seen this dog in my neighborhood or on walks ever.
Texted my daughter she came down to help me, brought a large bag of food and a harness she no longer could use on her dog. I tried for 2 days to find a groomer who'd shave her and treat her for parisites and got lucky on Sunday who would do her. Now mind you all these groomers do not groom without proof of vaccines. Well this compassionate young lady did a huge favor for this dog. She spent over 4hrs working on her. Shaved, bathed 2x, clipped nails, cleaned ears and more. Wonderful gal and come to find out she owned 2 standard poodles and use to show them. She said it's one of the worst cases of neglect she's ever dealt with, a record number of ticks she removed.
And this beautiful beast was sooo decent and patient even though it hurt her getting all the junk out of her feet and ears she knew we were helping her. My daughter stayed around and helped with keeping her focused towards treats while the lady worked on her.

She is such a sweet calm dog, has not made a peep in my house. My dogs accept her and now even my kitty is walking around the house and no one bothers eachother. I cried and cried how this beautiful dog was thrown out like trash. Groomer thought at least 6 months of neglect. Says whom ever had her did not understand this breed and the breeder was a piece of shit for clipping her tail so short. But she's sooo sweet and loving. She hugs me. At this point i need to get her vetted, she has no chip i already got her checked for that. I've made posting about her. I'm at this point "fostering" only because of my 2 dogs and 1 cat. I'm not kidding this is a dream dog, about 3-5yrs old.
Thanks for reading all the story and advise or questions welcome.
