California, since I don't know who is where.....
Be safe!
Be safe!
Thanks a lot. This is exactly what I'll do. Can I ask what length those are, and I'll go to Walmart tomorrow.Here, I just set up the light area since we too are in for a cloudy week or so. This is what I did late last summer. Primarily using sun, supplementing with lights. The are WAL-MART lights we got just for veggie seedlings and barley starts. Nothing pretty or extravagant.View attachment 2644247
When sunny or even partly sunny they go out or on the other side of the porch.
Hope it helps.View attachment 2644249View attachment 2644250View attachment 2644253
I think 24” Led grow light full spectrum on outside. Middle one is blue and red selectable.Thanks a lot. This is exactly what I'll do. Can I ask what length those are, and I'll go to Walmart tomorrow.
Mine is different. Very slow. Yours probably great! Never went that route. Bet if added to mine would improve mine!Summer mix

Growing Durban, read so many great things and a special person said it would be the very best for me and my environment. I’m super happy with her. She’s the toughest plant I have. I did read someone thought the smoke was harsh. I’m vaping so should be ok. I’d grow her again anytime! It’s early though.I'd prefer to grow in ground with a regular photoperiod like I did last year with Durban Poison. I was somewhat satisfied with how it turned out, but my Ohio weather sucked all summer, and it was not a fun experience when fall showed up. I was thinking a better option for me would be autos or the fast version. According to available info, I should be able to complete a grow of Big Bud Fast Version between Jun 1st and Oct 1st, roughly. Which for me would be great. If my autos fail, that's my only hope this year.
Thanks for that autos tip. I tried two already in solo cups. They sprouted, but growth quickly stunted (don't know why) and when I eventually tried to put in 5 gal pot, they fell apart completely. So I'm trying again with them from start to finish in the 5 gal pot. Then the sun vanished and that's what brought me here this morning, looking for a miracle :D

Looks good! No dolomite lime to stabilize the pH? I know you know what you’re doing!Summer mix

Seen such recipes and that looks good. I’d like to play with small amounts adding to mine in small loads. Test and then grow something.Looks good! No lime to stabilize the pH? I know you know what you’re doing!
Yeah, it’s fun to play with! When you’re dealing with large quantities of soil, you have to make your own! Can’t just replace the soil every year! At least I can’t! I don’t know about diesel! He grows a lot!Seen such recipes and that looks good. I’d like to play with small amounts adding to mine in small loads. Test and then grow something.
Living soil,Looks good! No dolomite lime to stabilize the pH? I know you know what you’re doing!glad I’m not the only one starting this late!
Right on! It’s the first week of June here in Norcal also! I’ve been burned going earlier! Twice! Lol! Don’t touch that hot stove anymore!Living soil,
Worm castings buffer PH.
Stables and regulates at a neutral level.

Looks like you’re still in the hemp business! Or have you moved on? Soil test are pretty much mandatory! At least you get a baseline to work from!
Mine is a year at least in the making now with two large, one small piles and a tumbler. My recipe on a group. Checking if here. Upload if not. Not for everyone. Year or more (but really just continues on forever) hard work and patience.Yeah, it’s fun to play with! When you’re dealing with large quantities of soil, you have to make your own!
