Indoor First Grow 2x4 Tent 600 W HPS

[Guerrilla]

Love your updates man! I'm trying to figure out when I need to pop my photos for my next run and let it hang out under my light wih my autos since the light timing is the same! Good luck with the supercropping. I hope them branches get nice and strong!
I had a friend that use to make a string of paper crips and hang on his branches and add a little weight every week and he said his branches would support massive colas! Maybe try that if the bent over branches don't get stronger!
Later bro

Thanks! Brilliant idea on adding weights! My main problem is the fan in my veg tent is super weak. It's enough to help circulate air but not enough to barely move the leaves lol.

I understand the idea but google translate is not capable of making sense of " string of paper crips", could you please explain what exactly you mean by that?

The plants look happy and healthy:Cushty:
Responding to your comment a few pages back about temperatures. I have also increased my light hour to try and keep temperatures up. Temps went as low as 62 most.nights before I ha to intervene. They didn't seem hurt by it, so I wanted to just oush their boundaties for reference. Im certain it slowed down their growth rate. I fired up some more heat, and got it like that rain forest you mentioned, and they seem to be exploding now. From what I can tell low temps won't kill you, but it seems to prolonged veg by a bit. Im going to fork out the extra expensive to keep it nice and balmy for them in the winter.

Anyway, Keep up the great work man!

Thanks Skatter! Slow veg times is something I've been struggling with since day one. My basement gets pretty cool when the lights not running and I have to keep the heater vent shut so it doesn't get too hot when the lights on.

To further complicate my problem my 2x4 veg tent can get all the way up to 90 with just t12's running but drops all the way to 75 when the cool most humidifier is running. Running the humdifier can cause my humidity to top 70% and I have to fill it once a day.

And I must have jinxed myself cuz the other day I was just commenting on Brian's journal about beating the gnats and last night I saw one! Guessing its cuz of the high humidity I've been running. Looks like I might have to bust out the SNS203 again.

trying some super croping i see?

Yep! Just messing with different techniques. Have to say LST is still my favorite. Wish I wouldve took pics last night. The branches are already curved back towards the light. It's amazing to see how much faster plants respond to lower stress training like LST and super cropping vs topping/pruning but the clones gotta come from somewhere lol

 

[SkatterBrayne]

How much time would you estimate you spend LSTing? I know there are a million variables, but I am thinking about working my girls around when they show sex. I have more smaller plants and I'm wondering if it will demand too much time. I feel like I am leaving alot on the table with my uneven canopy and at this rate I will be out of smoke before my next crop is cut and cured :Holy Moly:

I have the same black pots you were using. Do you think binder clips + pipecleaners and string would work?

Also are you happy with your t12s? I am on the hunt for some tubes for the first 2 weeks so I don't have to blast all 600w. I heard even cheap t8s are great since they use less electricity, and if you keep it right on th tops it doesn't matter much. T5 fixtures are slightly more expected than anticipated

Here ya go! Just an example

Sad news today guys. Yesterday we found out that my father in law has late stage liver cancer. So far they're not planning chemo or surgery. Just "comfort" care

Were not giving up. I have researched several cases of liver cancer being treated with Phoenix tears and Simpson oil. I realize curing him may not be a possibility but if we can at least increase the quality of his life and possibly give him more time I know that would make my wife happy.

Currently I'm researching some high CBD strains. The problem is even if I order seeds today it's going to be 3 months before we'll have a harvest. I'm considering using some of our agent O to make a small batch of Simpson oil for now but I'm not sure if a high thc vs cbd ratio will be as helpful to him. I also have an Ultrasour and Blue OG that are close to harvest which we could use as well but I'm uncertain of the medicinal values of these strains either. Any advice you guys can give us is greatly appreciated!

I've never been much of a religious person. I went to vacation bible school as a kid and learned the basics but I've always been more of a scientific mind.

When I first discovered cannabis at the age of 7 it was a way to fit in with the cool older kids and to try what my parents/relatives were all doing around me. When I really got into cannabis as a young teenager it was to party and have fun.

In my early adult life I began growing it for the first time. I was obsessed with it. I smoked 3 times a day or more 7 days a week.

Then something happened. I started to believe the propaganda and started to see cannabis as a drug addiction. Every time bad things happened to me I would blame it on my weed addiction. After all everyone says it's bad for you right? I believed that it was making my life worse and I needed to quit to be a productive member of society.

Well I never did quit Over the last few years I've spent a great deal of time researching. Researching all the different religious and scientific beliefs around the world and throughout history. It has been more about discovering myself because when I really ask myself who I am or what I believe in its hard for me to answer.

What I have learned is that I am a spiritual person. I believe in the power of good and I can never get over a gut instinct that tells me things happen for a reason. That we are all destined for something and the things that happen to us are there to shape us into the person we are destined to be. No matter how
hard I try I can't justify these feelings with scientific evidence but something inside of me tells me this is true.

Let me tell you I have been shaped. I grew up watching my father suffer from lupus and nearIy die. I watched him swallow their poison and stay in their hospitals for months at a time. His medications have nearly killed him more times then we can count. As we speak his medicine is slowly killing him but it's supposed to improve his quality of life they say.

I grew up watching my mother suffer severe bi polar and drug addiction. She was in and out of rehab and prison more times than I can count. She has been fighting her bi polar for over 20 years with no improvement and only a steady decline. She is now 50 years old and my sister and I have to take over guardianship of her and put her into a nursing home where they can continue electrocuting her brain for their research until there's nothing left of her.

My sister has served 3 tours in Iraq. She came back with severe PTSD which led to alcoholism and depression. She has gotten 5 dui's and has served several years ultimately because of a mental health condition.

Now my father in law has been diagnosed with late stage cancer and is being told there is no treatment option when I know for a fact one state away from us people are using Phoenix tears to fight this cancer.

Is it a coincidence that my greatest passion in life is growing cannabis when everyone around me needs it so badly?

I am done running from who I am and who I am destined to be. I am sick of standing back watching all the people I love suffer when I have the power to help them. I am done letting the fear of prosecution stop me from doing what is right vs what is legal. It's time to go BIG!
