Where've you been hiding dude? ... I thought you'd fallen off the planet!
Hey bud...been around...just trying to buckle down and get some work done, before I go icefishing next month...that and stuff on the site keeping me tied down! Still around!
THAT some funny shit!
@Druid .. if you saw her jogging outfit, I'm not sure who of the two of us had the most explaining to do ..!!
I've re-adjusted my timers now .. I've gone for the 7-30 to 8 o'clock slot, just before the fuckers go to work and just after Oprah's got home from her jog, hopefully.
Edit: Goddit! Best form of defence is attack. I'll meet her at the gate tomorrow dressed in black leather thong and choker, nipple clamps, whip, full make-up and stilettos .. invite her into my bdsm-shed for some perverted action ... if she says 'yes' I'm fucked..!!
I do it backwards! Autos in the greenhouse, photos indoors! 
Thanks @Druid dude ... have some 'rep' for that
Auto seeds? .. I've got a fridge-full..! Got some DP Brooklyn's, Daiquiri's and Colorado's just waiting, and some GHS King's Kush and Big Bang. Can't wait.
I'll be doing both autos and photos outdoors this summer, same as last year ... I'm just testing the growroom out with these photo seeds, and they're not exactly from quality stock either, more like an 'accidental' breeding program from last year! I'm expecting them to hermie anyway .. that'll be another test of my patience! I'll start a bunch of autos off under lights around early May-time then put them into the greenhouse, so they'll be done end of July-ish. I'll also do some photos and do some major tailoring .. my Super Skunk last year grew out of control and filled the greenhouse, turning me into a nervous wreck!
@Wile e Peyote ..
Thanks Mr Peyote, I even got my old clipboard out for this ..!
Just wanted to get a measure of things ... wasn't 100% sure what I was giving them, so I decided to find out for myself.
I think I might have curious neighbours now tho' ..
I thought, at 6 o'clock in the morning, I'd be safe to get to the shed unseen.
Pitch black, no-one around .. that's my 'lights-on' time in the shed, so I wanted to get some overnight temp and RH readings, being the enthusiastic anally-retentive insomniac I am.
So I was very surprised, on exiting the garden gate at 6:15 am to find my neighbour had decided to painfully execute her New Year's Resolution in full jogging attire .. finding me dressed in pyjamas, dressing gown, wellies, bobble hat, head-torch and overcoat carrying 4 empty tonic bottles and a programmable timer. Explain that one..!
when you want to be fly on the wall...
Update time.
It's been over a week since I discovered my 'timer' failure and they've been back on 12/12.
Look's like we're on-track again now tho' ..

On Monday, I tied them down and supercropped them .. or attempted to! The stems are really snappy, I've had a couple come off clean in my hand (shit) and I've had to fix a few more .. think I'll just have to leave them alone now ..

This is how they looked today ..

Meanwhile, back in the vegging chamber, all the 'mainliners' got spread and tied down ready for phase 3 ..

I guess-timate another 6 weeks, I've lost about 10 days with the timer disaster, so that's how long I've got to keep these vegging for. My plan is to grow them out now for about a week, then give them another topping, phase 3 .. go up to 8 x growth-nodes. A week's recovery, another week's growth and then the final topping, phase 4 .. 16 x growth-nodes. Another week's recovery, a week's growth and that takes me to 5 weeks.
To help slow them down a bit, I'm trying to keep the temps down at around 20C and when they get to the last few weeks, I'll drop the lights to 18/6, then 16/8, 14/10 .. then they'll get re-potted, given 36 hours of darkness to properly trigger the flowering phase and then nuked under the LEDs.
Happy Bud
Awesome job man youve got skillz for sure!

I don't icefish nippising...little too busy for my tastes. Fish walleye locally in the "big lake", but I normally leave our local somewhat scarce walleye alone and save them for the extreme north trip in march(wawa).
