Man hopefully it's like last summer im up in northeast And i don't think it hardly got over 80!
@Scroglodyte I like your mini hoop row covers. I jusr recently built an 8x8x6ft tall pvc hoop greeenhouse! Im waiting for the ground to dry up a bit before I till but it's going next to the garden...
hell ya! I live in eastern US and am loving this winter! I started my tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli and peppers a couple weeks ago ready to get a jump. Im just hopin it's not like last spring... rain rain rain rain
Man beavers are mean as fuck watch out! Here's how i would look at it.
I do alot of hiking, if Im hiking and I see a clearing where a beaver has cut down trees Im naturally gonna wonder over there to check out the work and dam! but that's just me...
Top one Fim another and leave one and see what happens. I have done all and personally prefer to just LST. Note that I believe I've read that floral hormones are disrupted when a plant is topped or fim'd resulting in atleast a month before it's back to the levels it was at before. Now I have...
So anyone have an issue like this? All my posts, started threads, journal entrys, likes recieved and reputations all dissappeared either today or yesterday from the last 2months. I have nothing since mid january.... anyone ever have this?
you know at first I was going to comment in contradiction to your findings.... But before I blatedly said something stupid I re-looked up what I thought I knew. which Im glad I did.
I grew up gardening and was always under the impression plants need a dark period or they don't grow as well...
This seems to be the trend with my autos usually 80ish days... That's why I just went back to photos a few extra weeks and I'll have a bush. But I do love autos in the summer time to throw out in the garden in between the tomatos and cucumbers :)
I just had two NL autos finish. One was short and bushy and the other tall and spread out oh it also turned purple the other didn't... But they look good.
but wouldn't your plant be getting more sunlight on big fan leaves as opposed to small sugar leaves, I don't think they add up to the surface space as fan leaves.
Regardless the point is you get more energy with the more leaves you have.
It might be a flower I don't...
everyone keeps them at different heights all depends on your grow, the only way to truely find out is just adjust and watch the temps. I keep my 400w 6in above the canapy sometimes less, but I also have extremely low temps where most the time I have a heater on. The hand test is the best...
side note: if you need ventilation through the plant it can help to clip 1 or two. But in nature fruit normally grows under the leaves so they are protected from direct sunlight and scorching the fruit. I notice this every year in my veggie garden with my squash, pumpkins, peas, tomatoes etc...
NO WAY DUDE! ok a few here and there that are unhealthy or ginormous are ok to take off. But you realize the plant uses photosynthesis to create the energy it needs to build nice strong buds. That energy is being drawn from your solar panels (leaves) to power your factory (nugs). Your nugs don't...
