Growing now inside now and outside in 2024 here in the NorthEast

[dequilo]

Good Day all so it is a bit cold today here in Upstate New York to be working outside

so I am working inside until spring in an 8 foot by 16 foot grow room

just running a single double ended 1000 watt MH to keep six ladies in veg to

use as stock plants to cut clones

they are in a 4 by 8 foot space and I have a 4 foot by 4 foot table being lit by

320 watts of LEDs

under which I will run cloners and start seedlings

Right now I have some clones in the water and some seedlings going and seeds started

just to dial it all in for ventilation, light coverage, etc

I have had plants in the room since October but have just started working on getting them

back in shape to be used as mothers

I did just picked up 8 clones from a vendor on Strainly to get some new blood into the mix

I am somewhat of a seed Whore and was not going to buy anymore but someone had

a 50% off sale so I bought 13 seed packs of 5 seeds each shipped to the door for

100 US$ so how could I not at that price and all feminized to boot

so I will grow the six the state lets me grow and put out 30 or 50 because I like to grow

my camera batteries are dead so when they are charged I will put up photo

and bore you all to tears

all the best and be safe

and how other folk do their work

be safe and stay free

Today is 12/21/2021 the beginning of my 2022 outside season

Good Day All as they say time to get this show on the road

I always end with way more plants than space so this year I will try to have

that not happen

it is all because I lack adult supervision

Sunday 12/19/2021 to get the ball rolling I planted some beans

8 Sebring’s Ancestral Skunk

4 northern skunk and 4 southern skunk

5 Blueberry Haze and 5 Highland Oaxacan Gold or H.O.G.

4 Lemon Haze x Joe FixIt

8 Mystery Beans that showed up in my PO Box might be Freak Show

8 mixed beans off my rolling tray

8 Chocolate Thia x Chocolate Thia

8 (Hickok Haze x C99) x Holy Goddess

8 Blueberry IBL x Chocolate Thia

8 Chocolate Rain

and so it starts another year of growing madness

being a seed whore I went out and bought 13 packs of feminized beans for 100$

from Truefire Genetics to try some of their stuff as it was inexpensive

also they are having a 50% off sale at https://www.thefiredepot.com/

I picked up some clones from a vendor on Strainly to try some new things

got 8 different clones went with

1. The New 1) Ridge Cake 1) Vanilla Frosting 1) Wedding Cake 1) GMO

2. Alien OG 1) Blue Cookies and 2) Venom OG

for 9 total

also have 6 or 7 different Feminized Autos to try outside, so staying with the six plants

is not going to happen

I will weed it down to a couple of this and couple of that to keep it so my wife

does not have a heart attack and die

I do not need a Murder Charge

all the best and grow well

Set to watch. I am also growing a Vanilla Frosting. Mine is Humboldt seed co. Interested in seeing it grown outdoors . Happy growing.

[dequilo]

Hello at this time I do not know much about the cross so I will have

to check their description

was a price point thing for me the clones are heavily root, bug free and shipped to

the door for 25$ ea.

vanilla frosting is Humboldt Frost x Humboldt Gelato BX3 so it should be interesting

growing it under the sun

thanks for stopping by

im an outdoor grower, can’t wait to see what you do curious though, you’re in the north east, mind if i ask what state? im midwest, upper Michigan to be more precise. i only ask cus the conditions like frost, wind, and temp can vary, and im a curious sort lol.

[nacho151]

I’m following along. I’m like @kuntrybudz very curious. Will you be growing in a greenhouse this early in the season?

[dequilo]

Hello My Friend I am in Upstate New York at the southern edge of the Adirondacks

on top of the Mohawk river valley at 1200 feet

it is always windy at my place except for about 4 times a year

we would always get a frost by mid September but this year it was the end of October

I got my stuff out this year (2021) the first of May, I work from clones outside

I grow mostly in the ground but do some pots, the soil I grow in outside is

about 30 years of Horse manure in my gardens

Inside I grow mostly in 7 gallon pots with Pro Mix/ Soilless

I use Jack’s Classic 20-20-20 for veg and 10-30-20 for flower at half strength

you can always give them more if need be

I have used 4 foot shoplights T-12s for seedlings and cuts for years but last

year I went to LEDs

for lights I use 1000 watt select a watt digital ballast with double ended lights

the room can run up to 5500 watts

@nacho151 I wish i had a greenhouse this state is not that cool yet, so I am

working in a 8 foot by 16 foot grow room which is a building in a building

of sort

it will get tight as always and I will get out as early as I can, also I hope to add

another 8 foot by 16 foot to the room for 16 foot by 16 foot

thanks for stopping I am looking for some photo on this computer as I am

at work I do not know what is on here

all the best and enjoy the day

this is my first grow box, it 4 foot by 8 foot and is 8 foot tall it has

three 400 watt High Bay warehouse lights in it

Today is 12/23/2021

As I am bored too tears and planting more beans at this time without an

addition is not in the cards

I will move stuff around in the room and clean it one more time really

well over the Holidays

I need to make 6 smaller bubble cloners as mine are too big (too much water)

it is ever hot or cold

and I want to build a couple of LED light to put over 2 foot by 4 foot shelves

for clones and seedlings

I need to round up a few more parts but I have

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/bridgelux/BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-B3/7907663

21 BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-B3 two foot strips

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mean-well-usa-inc/HLG-185H-24AB/10659923

2 HLG-185H-24AB drivers

so I think I will build a couple of lights to use, take pictures and them up

I need some wire and aluminum, I have see what the maintenance people

here have

all the best and be safe

So today is 12/29/2021 and time to start this Grow log for real

As most folks in life today I had a thought about why I have soo many

seedlings going soo far from spring

I lack Adult Supervisor as I told my dear wife it is all her fault

blame others and play the victim

So I have a bunch of unknown seedling that will hit the bin

they did not die in vain they served a purpose

I have not worked in this grow since this time last year and only moved

6 plants back inside October 1, 2021 to use for cloning

Black N Blue (Blackberry Diesel x Blue Tahoe) New420Guy

Bubba-gum Kush (Bubba Kush pre 98 x Bubble Gum) New420Guy

smells like the gum in Topps baseball cards

Bruce Banner 3 seeds from New420Guy

Ganj-Nam Style (Mekong High x Critical Mass) Dr Krippling a single Female seed

Moroccan Hash Plant (landrace) Alpha Seed Bank

so they came inside and just sat under a light for a couple weeks with the

light on 24 hours a day as they were in heavy flower

after that they went from a 3 gallon pot to a 7 gallon pot, I cut off 2/3 of

the top growth and gave the a shot of Jack’s Classic 20-20-20

they brought in some White Flies and the room at Mites

so I killed the bugs and burnt some Sulfur just to be safe as I do not need

any Powder Mildew

also it was a great time to do it

Almost time to cut some clones for real, I started a bunch of unknown/mixed seeds

to dial the room in for heat, ventilation, light coverage and layout

so much easier to do with an empty room, but I always seen to do it when the

room is over filled

I am using a new soil-less mix this season went to the wholesaler and Pro-Mix HP

went up about 8 dollars a 3.8 cu ft bales

so I am trying a mix that is from what i can tell so far about the same called

Lambert AP but is almost 10 dollars a bale cheaper

I moved my lights around to cover 2/3 of the room with 1600 watts of

Metal Halide light using 4 - 1000 watt Digital ballast running at 400 watts each

so I can crank them up to 4400 watts if need be

I have seedling and will do clones on a 2 foot by 4 foot baker rack with 4 shelves

I will use 2 with 160 watts of LED shoplight replacement fixtures, I have been

using 4 foot twin bulb T-12s for years, but bought some LEDs last spring

time to put them to work

Here is a list of the first round of beans planted and what popped

4 - Lemon Haze x Joe Fixit Demonic Genetics

4 - Highland Oxacan Gold Socal Seed Vault

4 - Blueberry x Original Haze Socal Seed Vault

8 - 2021 Mix off my rolling tray the male is a Holy Goddess

(Santa Shiva x Holy Princess) Santero

8 - Chocolate Rain (Dna Chocolope and Cocoa Kush) Eskobar

8 - (Hickok Haze x C99) x Holy Goddess by me

8 Blueberry (IBL) x Chocolate OG F2 by me

8 Chocolate OG x Chocolate OG F3 by me

Chocolate OG is

Grand Chocolate (Triple Ott Organics) x Kirkwood OG F2 (Kirkwood cut x Face off OG BX1) F2

4 - Northern Skunk Jamescoldflame

4 - Southern Skunk Jamescoldflame

6 - Ancestral Skunk (Preservation Seeds) Sebring

that for now is a bit of an overview of what is in the works for this outside

2022 season

the 6 plant limit in this state is going to be gone over by a little

my PC here is not reading my SD card so no pictures until I get home

all the best and be safe

Dequilo

[happilyretired]

Do it. Pictures, pictures, pictures.

[dequilo]

soon as I get home still have a day job for now

[dequilo]

so I had said some place here a long the line that I would not

be planting any beans until the First or Second week of February

because it was a bad idea

But I am grow 12 or 15 Autos this year and really need to get a

better understanding of how to grow them, as I did a piss poor job

growing mine last season

I start them in 2" x 2" cell packs moved the to 16 oz solo cups after which

I moved them to 3 gallon grow bags

I got a good amount of smoke but the plants would have grown better

maybe I should have read an Auto grow report/log

so I started four beans

they are Feminized Autos from these Folks

Poisoned Kush which is OG Kush x Red Poison

I do not know anything thing about the cross and it is the first time I

have grown this Breeders Work

I did four because four 12 inch pots fit nicely on the table

I would tell you I planted them straight into the pot which would be

untrue, I tried but I just could not do it

so I did them in a wet paper towel in a ziplock bag than put them into the

soil-less

such little plants in such big pots, something that is not the way I grow

but from what I have now read more to the Autos liking

one

two

three

and four

they are out of the ground and growing and should be done I believe in 65 days

I am in a state that is saying that we can grow 3 plant for each Adult

up to six

I might be a bit over that number at this time

10 seedlings in 1 gallon pots that I started a couple weeks ago mix

seeds of my breeding over the years

they look like they may have Azad Kashmir in them

a bunch of babies, anything with tags I know what they are anything

without tags will hit the bin as space runs short

under LEDs

clones that got cold in the Post Offices truck overnight

looking better

they are coming around the post office is so hit or miss to ship

stuff, sometimes really quick other times slower than death

plants to be cloned soon (as if I need more plants) to be shared with folks this

season here in the NorthEast

so it begins @happilyretired photos for you

all the best and grow well

Dequilo

[happilyretired]

Very nice…

[dequilo]

OK all you Great Auto Gurus I have a question and would love to hear you thoughts

about something I think I might do

I am having buyer’s remorse about putting my Autos in soil-less

if i would have thought pass the moment I would have done Hempy Buckets

So here is the question if a wait a week and let them go can I move the to a different media?

I know once their growing you should just let them go and do what they do

I do not want to have the flowering at 2 weeks old

so help a Brother out

Dequilo

EDIT or I could just plant more once you are over a 100 who counts?

[dequilo]

So the 2022 season has really started today is 01/03/2022

it is time to start this Grow Log for real

here are 68 seedlings that will be used outside this season

just looking for females, I am not making beans outside this season

these are Photo Regulars

these 10 plants in 1 gallon pots are an unknown mix of some beans I

made outside last season the Male was a Holy Goddess

you will see plants without tags that means I do not know what they are

and they could get chopped and binned at any time

but for now they get grown

4 foot bakers rack with 160 watts LEDs on each shelf

18 unknown seedlings waiting on death row, 4 Poisoned Kush Autos, 14 smaller

unknown seedlings and 24 known clones

not sure what they are but they are growing well, I needed something grow

they have work well to test the setup

smaller ones

I would guess on was an Auto did not like the transplant

sad clones they were like Goldilocks ether too hot or too cold but

never just right

since I am running lights hey can stay for now

big pots of little plants

clone the Post Office tried to freeze they are coming back

some random plant shots

all the best and Happy New year
