Reflectix works well as a barrier to cold too bass. I think its your root temps slowing them down. Below 55 in the root zone and your growth will slow waaaay down. Wrap your containers in the reflectix and make sure they are lifted off the cold floor. . I doubt its light leaks or weak bulbs.

I got a package of interlocking square foam type from Sam's Club-multi colored one side, black on the other.. You can use plywood or anything to raise the plants from the floor.

I was forced to get a new bulb and got a Hortilux. The tent seems
much brighter than the Global Greenhouse Lighting bulb had been.

I did burn two of the GGL bulbs out in my first year too.

Thanx for all the help guys !
Much appreciated

COF, did you notice any difference after adding the insulation to the floor?

 

[curious old fart]

Absolutely. They resumed a normal growth pattern.
This only occurs during winter, so when they weren't developing as I knew they should, I started looking for changes and root temperature was the main factor.

I would tend to agree with chaka, I would never put them in a bigger pot, then your medium is massive compared to a root system that is proportionately bigger that the plant material up above. I have cut down and potted to a smaller pot, and I have also just left in the same container and just not watered a lot. The latter worked best for me......

What I like to do on a reveg is to not reveg. But if I had to id cut the plant down to a smaller size if it isn't already. Then transplant it into fresh soil. During the transplant though cut off roots equivalent to how much of the plant was harvested. So if you harvested 90% of the plant chop off 90% of the roots and give them fresh soil. It's the only way to do it IMO. What's above ground should be relative in size to what's below.

Mighty fine tent and ballast you got there, a revolt 600 dimmable hps eh? lol and lighthouse, hmm I've got 2 of those.

Seeds are always a good thing I think. They usually turn out fem

Oh and a lil trick for revegging, transplant into a lil bigger container and feed high N, nothing else and set it off to the corner of your tent, they don't need much light.

Oh and hello 6 just got home from the inlaws for the holidays. Got some cool shit and my wife got spoiled, so will the boys in the morning.

Merry Christmas to all in the 6, stay high tonight, for giggles is going to ride his sleigh tonight

Ideally we would want to put a thermomenter a few feet into the ground on the side of a himalayan mountain or perhaps in the Highlands of Malaysia or Thailand....be interesting to see waht temps the soil gets to down there.

Hope everyone is recovering from overfeeding.

I plan to eat a ton for the next week!

Good man Mo. We had an amazing dinner last night. Got a bio free range chicken at just over 2 kilo so quite a big bird for a chook. We had pork belly roased in honey, stuffing pie (basically stuffing wrapped in streaky bacon and oven baked). And parsnips, roasters, cauliflower cheese, and of course gravy! Fair bit left still

Here's what I was smoking yesterday. This is the 70 micron pressed (it's a mix of different trim).

This is the 37, still needs some work. Not tried it yet, doesn't smell as creamy as the 70 though

And here's my fave Yin, all dressed up as Santa courtesty of his Gran....lol.

Having a great day eh!!!!

Peace and happy hashiness to all

Late Merry Christmas 6er's. I had a blast in nyc. The gf bombed on the room though, normally she gets nice rooms where ever we go. This room barely could fit a double bed. The cabin on the cruise I took was bigger. The halls were purple with neon green doors with a black light. I felt like I was in A night club.

I'm waiting on the ex to call so I know when I get my kids today for our christmas.peace

 

[jimmer6577]

I forgot to add the girls are looking nice. I'll be chopping some plants when my girls go home.

You guys talking about the root zone temps have me a little confused but thats not hard. I understand cold to be an issue for the roots but 55-60 seems pretty high to me. For the last 1 1/2 months of growing my outside plants the high temp might have reached 60 5-7 days.(mid sept-end of oct.) The night time temps were about 30-40 and I got over 4z's per plant lb's on 3 plants. With this being said I realize optimum temps. etc... With this being said concrete is always colder than normal things so I can understand the insulating of the concrete. On a hot day it feels like a piece of ice if its out of the sun

Working on a song in memory of my mom.

The basic groove is the same through the song, but all the parts progress with no repeated part sounding quite the same.
There are only three layers: Drums, Bass, and Keyboards (using mostly a Synth String sound), but composed so that not only do their individual parts evolve, but they are written in recursive layers so that they never mesh up the same way at any time in the song.

Still have some work on it, but it's moving along.

Every hotel room I've stayed in on Manhattan was the size of a closet. Really expensive rooms too. We stayed at the New Yorker once and the nice thing was you only had to take two steps to have a pee when getting out of bed lol. The worst was a place in Phili. Cost $200 a night and was seriously TINY. Barely room for bags. Plumbing was shotty. Was interesting to say the least.

Hope you had a good time.

Jimmer,

its been my experience outdoor plants deal with harsh conditions alot better. Indoor cold has a more negative effect. Indoor plants ar spoiled rotten... Lol.

 

[curious old fart]

Until the ground freezes, soil temp is usually higher than air temp. The sun warms the soils and it retains heat.

and vice versa in summertime heat.

Was researching LED lighting, and stumbled upon this video.
Just a warning about cheapo LED lighting from CHINA

[supchaka]

Dude we use the OTHER cheap lighting from China, COME ON NOW!

Just thought it worth a mention since it only uses 2 pin and a simple error makes the whole bulb from middle to to top potentially live

I flowered this Gods Gift I got from clone a 2nd time.
1st time it was indoor, but put her outside since she was so tall.
No taste or smell really, and I dumped it.

Flowered her again outdoor as well.
I assumed same, and jared it for 2 mos.
Tried it yesterday, and OMG!!
Taste isnt strong nor is smell, but man is it some super fire!!

I have plenty of beans from her, and might find a keeper from them.
