First grow—good morning!

[amekins]

Very nice work Amy? I think I saw someone say Amy? Anyways, stellar work. The tent above ⬆ was my first tent. Only good for 1 plant. Looks like that’s all you’ll be growing indoor? So that tent would be perfect for your corner. Keep up the great work. Happy grows and happy harvest.

Yes, it’s Amy. Thank you for your input! These are actually both on my amazon grow wish list. I’m working on it. Though the corner tent may be harder to access because of where I’d need to tuck it. I do have another grow started with two plants that I will be keeping (no current means to manage flowering). So I’ve been looking at these...and then talking with the guy at our local hydro store about a deal.

I believe the same light you posted would work here as well.

I know this is an older post but for next time, if you put your plants in 24 hours of dark and then take them back out they will usually show sex a few days later.

Do I not risk making them hermaphrodites doing that?

Not if it's a plant worth keeping. As long as you don't interrupt the 12 hour dark cycle when they are in full flower it shouldn't herm.

Hey Amy :) Looks like all is more than well madam! I doubt I have more experience as I didn't put a seed down until '95 (lol). But I'm with both Grown and Shocked (oh im fng KILLING it today). But I'd go for some more time too even if it's in a window or by a door in the too cold days and outside when it's ok. You can get a bit more bulk and quality out of her I think.

What is too cold for her to be outside?

I’m still running three outside in ne mass, mid 30s last night. Only a hard frost kills them but the cloudy days slow things down considerably. I would leave her out til theres a frost.

In VT we leave ours out until frost. It will go at least few weeks with daytime temps barely breaking 50. My dads outdoor grows in NY were always going until at least Halloween

I’ve brought her in at night when we’ve had frost (she’s in a 3-gallon fabric container) which is easy enough. I’m just not sure how cold is too cold during the day.

Thank you!

Our next week looks like shit.

If your looking for a tent try hydro crunch from home depo, very good quality, much less mony than name brand tents was surprisingly happy with mine, just saying.

Thank you! I’ll take a look.

I just bought that mars 2.3x2.3 for my mom, Amy. It came with the mars ts1000 light which is definitely worth the upgrade from the 600 from what I’ve read.

Thank you so much for this feedback. It’s exactly the kind of info I’m looking for. Your mom is probably my age . The guy at the hydro store said he has that tent at his dad’s and they currently have 4 plants in there. I only need 2. :-)

So basically this. How are the temps in the room?

My mom is still young! She’s 60 and it’s perfect for her. I’ve got her set up with 4 plants but they are from reg seeds so she will end up culling some for sure.

She’s got the vent exchanging air every 15 minutes. Temp stays around 70. She still needs to get a humidifier in there though.

I will say that the tent is well made and so is the light but there is no way (at least I think not) that it could do 2+ grams per watt like they say in Mars’ marketing media.

Psssst... Amy... the temps for next week during the day are good. Anything approaching a frost is bad. :)

Excellent! When did your mom start growing? I’m 52, btw. I have the above in my cart. When I can get to feeling good enough to cull some of the stuff I don’t need around here and make proper room, it will be bought I suspect. How does it vent every 15 mins? I did get a humidifier as it is crazy dry in here.

Well she spent the night inside and got kicked outside for the day when the cats were fed at 6. It’s too raw for me out there. I think a hot shower, heating pad, movie/nap are coming up.

I’ve become rather diligent about checking for regularity in the buds after my last plant had a bud worm in a really nice cola. This morning, I noticed this discoloration. I poked gently around it with a pin as a probe to see if any of the leaves were loose, and nothing. Everything is solid. Is this something I should be considered about or just keep an eye on? The rest of the plant looks great.
