Same here. Love my sativa but a solid couchlock indica is great for bedtime.I love a good sativa, but I need a heavy Indica to knock me out at night, a common complaint among old folks it seems.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. The OUTDOOR temps are in the 20s or below often times in New York winters.Welcome to the farm.... there is a wealth of knowledge here! Having a background in gardening definitely helps when starting to grow. You said it can get down to 20 in your greenhouse? I assume you have a way to warm it up in winter, besides the sun?
My watering schedule is unconventional, as they are growing in fairly small 11 inch pots. I water them every day, but not excessively. The few times I have skipped a day, the whole plant droops and looks pretty sad, So I stick with my daily minimal watering schedule, and so far so good.Same here. Love my sativa but a solid couchlock indica is great for bedtime.
Your girls are looking good except the indica seems to have an issue. How much and how often do you water?
Those pots might need additional drainage.
Since you are in flower, defoliate the bottom 1/3 of the plant to push nutrients into the flowers.
We do a straight organic grow indoors, but we have to amend.

Like you, my wife and I can grow anything outside, but indoors is a different animal.
Some reading material for you;
Basic Watering
Marijuana Watering, how media, pot size/shape and environment affect it
Ok lots of posts on how to water plants. So I thought I would put together a thread on how different factors contribute to different results that ppl see. This will be a long read based on my personal knowledge, opinions, research and others work to consolidate information for our members. I'm...www.thcfarmer.com
Watering SOIL
New Simplified Way to Water Marijuana Plants
The other day I had an idea and after testing, it works great. To know if you need to water, get yourself a soil meter. Poke or drill 4 holes in your pot 1/4 way up from the bottom spaced around the pot. Insert the meter probe into the hole and test for moisture. If its dry, then water SLOWLY...www.thcfarmer.com
Oh, I do have electricity and of course grow lights. But I have no dehumidifier and can’t add one because I only have 20 A running out to the greenhouse, and it is pretty maxed out with 1500 W heater, 500 W for lights, and about 100 watch for fans, etc.I am amazed you've kept them alive, Bobo.
Also a NY grower (180 miles north of u) I use my sub basement........I maintain a proper VPD in spite of these wicked cold days and nights......But I do have electricity............it wouldn't cost ya an arm and a leg to purchase a grow tent and a grow light. I'm sure you already have humidifiers, fans and a dehumidifier. You control the environment yourself.
Please help.Welcome to the Farm, plenty of old boys on the Farm, you'll blend in. Just start a grow diary and you made, that way if your stuck, folk will have a place to go to help you out.
So I just hit the reply button on your post. That’s what brings your post in as a quote.Thank you so much for your response. I am going to try to follow your instructions and find the forums/grow diaries and relate my story to date there.
Not sure how I tag you with @but I will give it a try. It is amazing how technically ignorant I am for a relatively intelligent person.
@BoboGrower0813 I believe @Fuzzy_Buzzy meant set up a grow inside (after you finish the one in your greenhouse). Having a greenhouse of my own in Michigan, it's a struggle when the temperatures swing around like a carnival ride and rH becomes difficult to control. If you have room to set up your grow inside, it should become an easier process to manage not just in December but all year around.I am amazed you've kept them alive, Bobo.

Oh, I’ve been poking buttons all right, but still seem to be going around in circles most of the time. I will get the hang of it virtually. Thanks for your help though. I appreciate itSo I just hit the reply button on your post. That’s what brings your post in as a quote.
the @BoboGrower0813 i put in my last post is a call out to you. You will get a notice when someone does that, or quotes you or comments on a thread you are posting in. In the upper right of the screen you should see your user name. All those buttons up there, the heart, check them out. You won’t break anything.
You’re right. The temperature swings in a greenhouse in the winter can be ridiculous. Last February it went from 40° to 107° in the greenhouse in about an hour. Sun pops out from overcast skies, or from behind a stand of trees, and that sun unleashes a lot of energy.@BoboGrower0813 I believe @Fuzzy_Buzzy meant set up a grow inside (after you finish the one in your greenhouse).

Edit: I heat my greenhouse with a ventless propane gas heater. It runs off of a thermostat. No electricity needed. I'm not sure it's an option in your area of NY.
The temperature swings have been a big challenge, but so far I’ve managed to deal with them, and my plants seem to have adjusted to the rigors of inconsistency. they are hearty girls. They have no choice. Obviously, I won’t get the optimum yields that other folks get, but this is my first stab at it, and it’s a learning experience. Plus I’m having fun.@BoboGrower0813 It's all good friend, welcome to the farm.
My green house is 10 x 20. I use it for my summer run. Even with the greenhouse, I don't try to go beyond the middle of October. The temperature swings and the cloud cover leads to condensation and that leads to trouble.
