I know where you’re coming from! Being just an outside grower, I’m starting to get antsy.

ok some photo to get this thing started
1/27/2024 my plants stayed at about this until 2/10/2024
my PPFD was way too high my temp was way too low
spectrum is OK
these numbers are not even close to good 
2/02/2024 very sad plants
went out and got a humidifier
got the humidity up and temp up and we are off to the races
starting to look better need to re-pot soon maybe this week so glad I did not start more seeds
54out of the ground and I can have 12 plants (6 in flower 6 not) so a few too many

I do like that VBR - 200 you can hook it up to a pc as it does logging
I bought it last spring best 150 bucks I have spend on grow equipment, it helped me
get my problem sorted out
It has been great working here 
I am a one person IT department so when it is good
life is great and when it goes bad life is hell
I have around 50 users and 100 devices on my network
The 2 PCMC 10 color presses are 6 and 4 years old and are network devices
all my bag making machines are on the network
20 years ago when I came here they were using soup cans and string, writing everything
on paper by hand
I go tot build the network infrastructure from the ground up
not a bad place but still work 
a couple of years and I am done
all the best and grow well

today is 2/17/2024
here are some photos from yesterday after re-potting 22 plants into 1 gallon pots
it has always amazed me how fast the weed will recover and take off when
conditions are right 
the 22 are regulars
sweet tooth #4 and GMO x Dragon’s Blood f5
wanted to give these a few more days to build roots before up potting them
the first 9 plants are Road Kill Skunk f2s regulars
8 Capstone x DJ Short blueberry regulars so glad I did not plant anymore seeds
4 Double Grape OG regulars
2 Lava Cake x Pressure feminized
3 Durban Poison feminized and 8 Devil’s Punch ( Orange Punch x Purple Punch) feminized
a little GMO
my outside season for 2024 is on, I will trim the herd to the right numbers in time
and will give lots of plants away to folks wanting to try to grow
74 days and I hope to be in the ground outside
all the best and grow well

plants look great wish I had a place to grow outdoors stuck to indoors I asked my friend if he would let me grow on his property upstate 
I guess he was worried because he new I was bad in math 
what r we allowed in NY 12 total

my math sucks if you have read this thread
6 in flower 6 in veg with two adults in the house hold
but 12 plants total in 2022 they whacked down 70 so go figure

I have used Peters forever and have liked it a lot
but it has always given me a green that has not really moved me
I was posting with a grower last spring somewhere and we have posted back and forth
since 2001 on many boards that have come and gone
he like me comes from the greenhouse trade and we were raised on WR Peters and Jack’s Classic
I was checking a grow of his out and saw the beautiful emerald green his plants were
and had to ask him what he was using
he said this is what he is using start to finish and loving it inside and out
I used it outside start to finish in 2023 but when I started flowering I did hit them with
Monopotassium phosphate MKP 0-52-34 and also as seedlings
I like to water them in with it when I put them them in ground the 0-52-34 is good for roots
whatever works for you is best my 2 cents

I have always tried to show folks what I do and why I do it
if it helps you with a problem or helps you to do better in your grows, makes all
the Blah Blah Blah worth the time to type
if not it is a good record to look back at for me so i do not make the same mistakes
too many times
be safe and grow well
