    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    Couple days under the new light and theyve really responded. Ive continued to drop it a few inches each day, down to 34" - if anything they seem to be stretching for it, so Ill keep lowering. The one left in the "veg" tent, that responded poorly to the light being lowered, has perked up some. I...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    Now that everyones established and settled, time to start playin with lights. Decided to transfer now instead of switching later at flower. I have the 300w 9-band blurple light set up in the flower tent. I had them all in the veg tent under the VS1000, 100% @ 30" But only 1 was really happy...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    Id say all 5 are already just about as tall (or taller) than my usual harvest sized plants - with 4+ months to go. Something tells me its gonna be tough keeping them from breaking apart later on. I ended up bracing the one intact Strawberry Cough - too big for her britches already (4 wires to...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    A few days in the 80s and theyre back on track, mostly. One still pretty small for 7 days - but Ill give her a chance. I only have the tent space for 2, so just as well. Maybe Ill put her in "time-out" with my other spare clones - Ive got a table with some low power LEDs on 18hrs light where I...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    All 3 up...and I think mostly on track for 5 days (oldest) to 3 days (youngest) Temps dropped down again to high 40s outside, so it got a little cool in here (low 60s) So I thought they may have slowed down a bit? (Maybe just paranoid) Hoping to keep the soil on the warm side - I lowered the...

    2026 Outdoor Grows! let's see em!

    I like Arber - bioinsecticide for indoor pests. Works as a spray and a soil drench to break up the lifecycle. Never had a plant react negatively to it.

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    All 3 opened up (so i wont try any more for now) and got all 3 in soil - 1 day between each planting. The last one is still domed on the heat pad for now, but will go outside eventually. Took the domes off the 2 in the veg tent, turned the light down to 75% and dropped it to 30" Ill see how...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    Ok, everyone is out in their final positions. Most still weak and gettin blown around, but no breaks. I decided not to brace them yet, hopefully its encouraging and not abusive. All part of the process I guess, gotta toughen up. But theyve gotten used to full sun, through two 80-90° days as...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    2 days - 2 sprouts, impressive. I figured 1 was big enough to plant (didnt want it to grow into the paper towel) Ill give the other another day. If the 3rd doesnt open by the end of the week, ill probably try one more. Got her in promix with a dome on the heat pad until it can break the...

    Northern Lights - Spring 2026 Indoor

    Next Indoor run will be Northern Lights. I was excited to receive these seeds from Homegrown Cannabis for a number of reasons - First, this is one of the first strains I ever grew. Back in the mid/late 90s when it was still sketchy buying seeds online (and even sketchier to grow) we managed to...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    Almost all repotted in promix and outside now. Some suffered more than others from the delay - it was tough to keep them fed and watered in the small pots. But its nothing they cant recover from eventually. Ive never tried this before - but I put a layer of chicken manure pellets under each...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    Yes, temps look good for the next week, wind is now my biggest concern. In the past ive used some twine to brace the branches to eachother and the edge of the pot, keep everything locked in place. Im trying to ease them in, keep them sort of in a corner and protected for now. Ill brace them...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    Well, it was bound to happen...forgot to bring the big pot GC in last night. Luckily it didnt get too cold, stayed in the high 40s - and she survived. Didnt get the extra hours of "light" from being in the kitchen but, still kickin. I think the extra large pot helped - big thermal mass...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    Feels like some plants are just always close to flower, the SC was born stinky and grew pistils even at 18hrs light. But the GC has been odorless and very slow to turn to flower - stretched for like 3 weeks after I flipped the light. Maybe itll tolerate the temporarily shorter days better than...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    Havent used anything other than the window and overhead kitchen light. 14.5 hrs seems to be enough - or maybe theyre like shocked/hibernating because its drastically lower light than the veg tent and super inconsistent temp and light. The one in the big pot has spent the most time outdoors, and...

    Upstate New York 2026 Outdoor Grow

    As much as I like the strains Ive been working with over the last few years - Ive been looking forward to some new blood. So for my outdoor I went with Strawberry Cough and Green Crack, both from HomeGrownCannabisCo. And after a failed gamble on global warming and an early-ish spring (like last...

    2026 Outdoor Grows! let's see em!

    Trying out my largest ever pot this season - 10 gallon? Maybe 12 - theres some debate. Anyway, this green crack is already 4 ft tall, spending the warm days out on the porch and comin in at night. Luckily i only have to slide it a few feet to get it outiside. Any predictions on final height?

    Isolating males for pollen without pollinating females.

    Yes, if you have an outdoor male thats in veg right now - take a clone (or 2 or 3) and as soon as its settled, put it inside under 12/12 light (In a closet or a box or something) Probably take a few weeks for them to flower - and then takes 6 weeks for the seeds to form in the females, so plan...

    Isolating males for pollen without pollinating females.

    They dont have to be big to make flowers (or buds) - you could make a clone and grow it in a small makeshift grow box indoors. I dont think youd have any control over an outdoor male.

    4th Gen cross - its complicated.

    Oh yeah forgot to tell you - for a number of reasons, I gave up on the female (daughter of Slippery Dan) - mostly just poor planning on my part. I ran out of room, like really out - and had to make some choices. She was kinda sparse and had little smell to her, so couldnt afford the space right...
