Diy light dep

[Growtogrow]

Good luck with that. I would just forget photos. As @Mañ'O'Green says, getting rid of light leaks would be a serious challenge. The design of the edge seal would be part of the problem, the mechanics to achieve it reliably without tangles or jams another, and both of them would be bloody difficult. You would be hugely better off using your money, time, and patience designing your grow for autos.

Best of luck if you go for it, should make for some diy fun.

I know I could use a tarp or something it's just the issue of being there everyday at specific time.

Just thinking with photos I can get a higher yield with plant counts and all. Like I can get a plant ten times as big I hear you tho it's possible to get multiple grows with autos and maybe get same yield. I just saw other people use tarps but I don't want to worry about that for 2months.

I expect that you are right that you could grow more bud with photos if you could achieve light deprivation, but in my humble, not enough more to justify the extra hassle with a manual setup, or especially the expense, frustration, and screwed up grows likely before getting an automated system sorted. DIYing a system that works reliably would be an expensive and challenging project. Keep in mind here that you are talking about sealing the space against full power sunshine. That is a tougher to accomplish compared to an indoor tent that would never see that intensity of outside light, and even the indoor tent can be a challenge with light leaks.

If you don't want to do manual light dep, I would forget doing it at all. In your boots, automated top watering of autos is where my interest would be. For safety reasons with power interuptions, I would go with moderate sized pots, peat based medium, and top watered hydroponic nutes. Moderate to large pots with peat will give you more of a buffer if fertigation is delayed for a day or so by a power failure.

Good luck with it, have fun, and let us enjoy the show!

I only grow indoors. That said my Yield over time with Autos vs. Photos is nearly equal. I can get almost 2 more auto crops in a year over the photos that makes the yields nearly equal.

Holy smokes is a lot of naysayers on this thread.

B O O M !!!


You know what? if you don't grow outside how the hell would you know anything about growing outside and what you can really get from outside.???

Alright you ain't got a clue as far as I'm concerned..
If you ain't done it, you shouldn't be talkin about it...
I don't think either one of you know about what your talkin about..

As I said earlier if you had read it??

"It's very easy"
And there's no way in hell you can grow as much as I grow outside. No way in hell... and there's no Auto that outperforms a photo plant. They don't make them yet. if they did I would be growing them. They don't and I know they don't and so do you. Why do you tell mistruths. You sound like the mainstream media.

"I'll stand by that 100%"

There's zero chance of you growing as much as I grow with the same photo strain inside... As what I can grow outside with that strain.
Your yields are about 60% of what I can do outside ... And at that I grow AAA flower. That said, I trim away all minor Bud sites and little stems that don't produce anything and only keep the large flowering buds. Also I do it with a ( KISS ) method.

Kiss meaning Keep It Simple Stupid.
Meaning low cost, low effort, and 100% organically.
As well the cost of me doing this like I do is going to be 90% less than what it cost you to do it inside... guaranteed
You can't dispute that...it's impossible. And you can take that to the bank all day long.

No disrespect intended.
But if you don't know. Don't speak on it.
I'm always open for debate but this is a closed and it's not even debatable.
It's completely laughable.
The sun is Like Aaa super brite. Duh
It's impossible that artificial light can produce more than the Sun.
You would have to be ludicrous to think so.
Again the cost of running a light 10 to 14 weeks in a basement or grow tent anywhere else inside... the cost of heating air conditioning the fans running, if you do deep water if you do aeroponics soil or soiless, the cost of electric pump all the damn chemicals you got to use...WTF Come on man.. You have to be ludicrous to think that you can do better than what I can do outside.

Just a little bit of incentive so you can see what you're going to play against. Hahaha and this is not me even trying. It's Kiss. Just imagine if I put some freaking work to it...hahaha. Come on boys let's play.

Any Challengers??? For a little outside photo versus inside photo Campo?
Summers coming bro's , let's grow.

What you got???

I'll take you all on if you want. Just a friendly competition to prove Im right and y'all wrong...

Don't be scairred ... LOL hahaha.

Bring it if you got it?

If not go home.

Grow big or go homeYour

@Growtogrow any strain recommendations would I just have to fence and tarp? Vanilla kush seemed to do the best the denser indica buds had mold budrot etc

Hello.
Yeah the Afghans strains seem to get the pm pretty easy. It takes a lot of work to keep them mold free. Throughout your grow outside.
I've had a lot of good luck though with some strains that I like for growing outside. The blueberry from seedsman

is a nice strain to grow outside.
I've had little to no problem with it.
Fire OG Kush has been a pretty good one. I've grown that the last three years in a row and I've not had any bud rot problems with it but I have come across the powdery mildew now and then.

I'm not too afraid of the powdery mildew anymore. Because I've been dealing with it since I've been growing outside in this location. Because there isn't a yard around me that doesn't have powdery mildew in it... Ugh!!! I just can't get away from it at all.
So I use a product called Lost Coast plant therapy totally organic using Botanical oils and it really works well with against mold Bud rot powdery mildew and just about any bug you can imagine. In my area it works great.

And I've sprayed it on pretty thick. As I had said earlier I do with a lot of powdery mildew in this area. I don't see any burn from it whatsoever. It works great love stuff.
I have not had to deal with slugs too much or snails. And in that instance I would put copper bands around my plant stalk to slow them down.
There's other strains that are pretty well to do outside as well. Like Chem Berry D from Dark Horse genetics

I ran gorilla zkittlez last year and it was a very nice plant. I liked it very much and it seemed to do pretty well with a powdery mildew and Bud rot very dense Buds and very greasy.

Another one that I ran that I liked last year was called Black sugar I don't know if you can get that anymore or not right off the top of my head? I think it's from Dinafem. I could see there's other strains too. I have to get in my book to look up.
I like World of seeds Afghan Kush is good leaning towards the Indica side more. But it seems to tend to gravitate towards the powdery mildew. But the bud rot it seems to be able to fight off pretty good and if you if you like a sativa Hawaii Maui Wowie was a great one. A lot of people love that plant. Oh Dragon Blood and Purple wookie from Bohdi seeds.

Not sure if I spelled that right. Sorry it's something like that though. But those seeds almost everything that guy creates works really well outside. And you can look at his list at the seed banks and there's a lot there lot of nice plants in his stable.

Are you talking about bodhi? Whos strains all work outside?

Well I don't know if all of them work well outside or not.? I've only used like 2 or 3 of them. And all of them worked really well outside. Also they have had really great yields as well and great flavor the high was always very good on everything that I've ever used from them. I have a grow friend that lives over by Flat Rock near Detroit and he swears by Bodhi seeds. He sent me some Purple wookie seeds. Can't wait to grow them outside. He as had great luck with them.

@Growtogrow Sure just pull out your big colas I think you miss understood me. I make no comparison to any outdoor plants. It is a whole different environment and no comparisons would be valid. I am talking strictly from my personal grows all indoor. Over a given time like a year or 14 months my grow space will produce about the same amount of bud regardless to whether or not it is autos or photos.

I get what your saying I just have plant counts if I could do more autos instead of 6 bigger photos. I just would have to plant more than 6 but I agree you can get same yield photo or auto if plant counts aren't a thing

Feeew...!
I really thought you had lost it @ManOGreen and @Olderfart
Sorry if I sounded a little full of myself. I was thinking y'all down playing my light dep skills and my proven growing tacticiansunorthodox as thay maybe.

I didn't even pull out the big gun bud yet


So big guns
Seedsman Somango summer 2016

99% Organic ( mostly kiss method maybe a little work in this one ) outside light depth grow.

----------And the Neville haze---------

-------To all you would be growers------

The offer still stands for a 2022 summer outside grow off comp.
One on one or one vs all. It don't matter. The cup is bragging rights an homage to your grow tactics.
Im growing in 3 location this year with plant counts in the 40s. I mite be spred a little thin this year. It mite give y'all a fighting chance.


----------Anybody want to play? -----------

I promise you won't get hurt to much.

What do any of you say

AFN Who of you got skill's ???
Are you up for the grow off 2022 of the post covid scare demich and hopefully before WW3.
