Guys, my lady will be camping from now on but the extra light isnt her favorite, shes droopy after 8hrs in the tent. Will cheesecloth or this mesh i hung up work as sufficent shading?
She looks like she's just waking upGuys, my lady will be camping from now on but the extra light isnt her favorite, shes droopy after 8hrs in the tent. Will cheesecloth or this mesh i hung up work as sufficent shading?
I heard 1 other person say this and let it just slip my mind. Each day though, at the end of light cycle shes droopy. So i assume thats it bc shes singing to the light when they first go on. Didnt even know it was a thing.She looks like she's just waking up
Facts. I have probably 20-40 different species of flowers and plants growing any given summer. Some of them can take being watered in full sun, some will shrivel and die at the water on thier leaves heating up in full sun. My husband thought he was helping and watered my hibiscus, all the leaves, on a 80 degree sunny day and killed it. All the leaves were cooked, turned white, and it died. So anyone saying it's not possible, isn't a Gardner, cause that's like the golden rule... don't water your shit in the afternoon sun. Morning is best because it can be absorbed and evaporate before the harsh rays come. Watering at night is also not recommended because wet leaves do encourage fungi to grow. I bypass both these issues with drip hoses. But yeah, would I ever spray some crazy alcohol solution or neem in full sun or full grow lights? No. A light misting on seedlings in a dome under fluorescent? Sure. To each thier own I guess. Translated to an artificial environment, I'd say a few hours before lights on would be what I would do if I had to spray. And maybe reduce light intensity till you're sure it's dry. Enough time to be absorbed, which is the point. If it evaporates almost immediately, how many pests survive? Dunno... seems like common sense to me.Quote from there.

And many other studies have been conducted it not a theory its a fact. To add although extremely unlikely like multitudes more than the lottety I would guess. They found a water drop could start a forest fire under extremely rare circumstances.
I'm not trying to be an ass. I am just reinforcing my statement and your objection to it as false.
I have no reason to make something like that up.
Same picture as before max. Not new, still doing the same shit though everyday before lights off. Shes tired lol. I defoliated per Aquas advice and after a step by step walk through of what to remove, she looked great so then I used some LST and the plant sprouted like 20 more tops no bullshitting you. The LST is working like crazy, idk if the new feeding helped but I gave her another tea with kelp molasses worm castings compost and just added new ingredient some Black Kow composted cow manure, well she grew lol, the LST'd branches grew in a U-shape in about 8hrs. I had to retie within like 12 to 14 hrs bc the old spot wasnt holding the tops horizontal as they already grew towards the light. Personally i think half the "issues" werent really that horrible and Im just learning so didnt recognize she would adapt. Shout out to my growbros who help with all my rambling issues. You guys are the MVG's. Ill update some pics when lights pop back on.Looks the same issue as before bro..
Yea ive refrained from all foliar spraying with lights on, Ive done it once since the issue arose and i made sure it was like 5 mins before lights off and only on the underside of leaves. Im being cautious so I upped the air flow a bit to ensure no moldy issues. Fingers crossed.Facts. I have probably 20-40 different species of flowers and plants growing any given summer.

Over mothering (or fathering lol) them can definitely do more harm than good... I'm sure we've all seen that be the case on this site more than once.Weed mostly grows
Over thinking can make things worse.
Here's a picture of a sickly looking specimen that was chosen to be one of the 4 that i put into flower. (Kinda a trial) I didnt do a thing to help her and just let her fend for herself. View attachment 1184479
She was the 2nd best producer of the 4 in flower.

Yeah I'd agree that's probably the most optimal time.Facts. I have probably 20-40 different species of flowers and plants growing any given summer.

Havent sprayed but 1 time since we talked and it was only undersides. Aqua this b**ch is blowing up lolYeah I'd agree that's probably the most optimal time.
The other part to it is we want the plants to absorb a foliar feed so I can see a foliar fed first thing in the morning before intense light. But that would be to the undersides or the leaves only.
The reason I say the night for IPM Would be a longer dwell time on the plants which in my mind would be more effective.
And also using oils imo we should be reducing the light intensity when using.
Indoors though we have the high intensity right from the get go and control over humidity
Good shit bro. 1 foliar to get en the nutes... good idea , follow with a tea? Have to shoot me some pics broHavent sprayed but 1 time since we talked and it was only undersides. Aqua this b**ch is blowing up lol
Yessir. I followed up with a slightly new tea. Same kelp blackstrap and worm castings but i added some black kow composted manure and a small amount of bakers yeast. Holy shit the foamy goodness was brewing. Next batch ill take a pic. The LAB worked awesomely and my next foliar in a 2 or 3 days will be 3ml sea water to a gallon and spray just lightly not the whole gallon and I plan to spray an hr or so before lights on as the plant begins to wake up.Good shit bro. 1 foliar to get en the nutes... good idea , follow with a tea? Have to shoot me some pics bro
You gotta watch how you wright your tile question. My dyslexia gets me reading something completely off target. Every time I see that post I see you asking us to do something to your wife in weird spots. Letters get re-arranged in my head when reading quickly and I have to scroll back to re-read read again.....Just tell your wife I'm sorry about those wicked thoughts..Just some updated pics. If you see these new pics pls lmk what ya think. 7 days ago there was less than half of those tops. If you include the newest 1inch small tops forming theres about 45 to 50 tops.
