Hello everyone, from our place in Tucson, Arizona! I am a new indoor grower and appreciate all of the knowledge shared by everyone on this forum. I have successfully grown outdoors in Arizona. This year, with the change in law, there are a few of us old people who are collaborating info, seeds/clones/methods in our “OGGC - Old Guys Growing Consortium” and generally having fun.
Zkittles - 2019
Until Covid, we had a small exclusive outdoor/nature oriented B&B. We are rethinking our approach and plan on having a VERY CANNABIS FRIENDLY establishment in the fall. The website for that is under development, the current site is https://wowarizona.org We have done habitat restoration for the twenty-five years we have lived here, so we are not new to cultivation/growing/difficulties/ pertaining to Arizona conditions.
ME - I have rare form of glaucoma and I have used cannabis for major pain almost my whole life. I have studied and researched the plant since I was a child. I have a whole program that I teach to “old people” about cannabis. the site for that is https://411on420.net
Growing
OUTDOORS - I have grown outdoors for a couple of years and have a couple of neighbors joining me this year. I am creating an irrigation system for my grow house this week, with thoughts of having plants in it by mid/late March.
Seedlings were started, along with a bunch of clones. Seedlings have been now distributed to my neighbors. These will start to get acclimated to outdoor sun in eight days. Most will have received a first fimming by then.
INDOORS - This is my first year indoor growing. I am using LED lights for both 3tent (HLG100 4K color temp with four T5 Nanoreflector) and rspec’s for 5tent ( HLG 600 rspec & 300 rspec). In one week, the 5tent will go to flower, and clones will go in 3tent. It looked like this yesterday-
A video camera has been added to the 5tent so a time lapse can be created. The camera has variable height/location ability, so it will be easy to move to different vantage points. This is the angle at which it currently sits -
I have a password protected link for a live-feed of the camera that I have shared with my OGGC and some others, for those who want to sit and “watch the grass grow…”. Both tents have temp/humidity monitors and the 5tent also has a CO2 monitor.
We are more than happy to share whatever information we have learned on-line or come visit. We share treats, too!
