Outdoor Growtogrow.. Michigan Unlimited multi strain organic grow

[Growtogrow]

Looking real good bud with this crazy weather. Never would have thought too much about flooding in michigan till the last few years. Looks like things are good ur way though.

Thanks Jean
Yeah the floods are wild.. Mm mm few years ago that damn on the west side over there North of Newaygo someplace Harding Dam or something like that maybe it blew out too.

hey Smokey it's good to see you stop by man. Thanks for all the compliments and roses
Yup this year's better than last year that's for sure. Things are looking up though I'm getting it figured out slowly but surely... maybe next year I'll have it figured out...maybe the virus will go away and my money will fall right

Hey GTG, Great to hear you had some rain on your ladies. I was wondering if i could use brown sugar and i see you use it with worm castings as a tea for the ladies. Next year the weather will be better Eitherway good idea with heater. Talking about bad weather lol today was one of the coldest May days in the South East Queensland(14c-57F), lol nothing on Michigan though, it was cloudy all day so i ran the girls under the T5s all day, and about 30mins,, move them from the laundry (sleeping nest) to the T5 light area. Lets hope the virus goes away, true its not good on the economy also, if the virus went away your money would fall right lol, the virus is bascially like mould on the bud Little stoned as its Saturday night. I wish Cannabis would be the cure for this virus, as the Australia Government mgith have no choice but legalize

Well 57 is not exactly warm.
But that's what the temperature was last night here.
it's 63 right now at almost 9:30 in the morning it's pretty good for this neck of the woods.
Yeah I always thought Australia was more of a progressive country and thinking that I thought you guys already had legal medical marijuana there?? And we're just working on getting recreational.
But your temps at 57 aren't bad. You just got to lengthen out your day to make sure you got enough light so the plants veg long enough for you to get to the flowering stage.
It took me awhile to figure out what times of day I was going to grow and how. I know I still don't really have it all figured out but yet. But I got a pretty good handle on it these days. There's a lot to know about growing AAA bud. But I'm getting closer and closer all the time to figuring it out somewhat LOL

Almost forgot to post the pics of the silver haze with the light over it and the measurement.

I took the measurement early this morning as I gave the girls some more tea at 6am. the worm castings that I put in the tea bag have made for some pretty powerful tea and has lasted for quite a while. There's still enough for 1/2 half a sprayer full. It's still bubbling now. The microbes look really good on the air stones.
I didn't add anything more to it this is just the bottom of the tea bag still boiling off.

So it looks like she's got another
1 1/2" to 2" inches taller.
I can tell you this..this morning when all the other plants were still thinking about standing up and getting to attention...
she underneath that light was already there she was just loving that light being on so...
I think she's doing good. The light can't be wrong really, she's getting about as much light as I can give her in a 17 and a half hour. Without breaking the bank.

What a difference today was, nice and sunny the ladies loved it till a surprise shower in the afternoon, but i got the 3 budded autos in as soon as i heard drops, the other ladies probably liked a bit of rain, then to bed, soon to wake in 30mins It was even cold in the tropics , Rochhampton 12.2 c (record) 54F. There is medical marijuana, and its very expensive i think to get, and you need a doctor script i would expect, I thought Australia would fall in lines with the US and Canada as you said it is, supposed to be a progressive country. I try to keep them going at 4hrs zzzz 20hrs light, till they get large enough to let to bloom. Photos are pretty new to me, but I think they are better than autos in there you get get more bud I think you are close Bro to AAA bud. The girls are looking great and your lights are T5s like mine, but 4 x lights :smoking:

@smokeyfromau Did you see the DIY light I made back on page #158 ?
Ive pulled all the t5 in favor of this new light and the 315 CMH wings that I'm going to install on the shadow side or the west side of my grow cage as the grow cage in that area starts getting shaded pretty good around 5 and then from there on out for the rest of the day.
So what I want to do is going to run two more CMH lights on that end that will come on sometime around 6 or 7 and stay on until full night comes or whenever the end of my 12 hours will be when I decide how I'm going to actually for surely run it with all the Sun and shadows that maybe inherent during that time so they can get Optimum light to the plants that aren't receiving as much light as the far east side of the cage dose.
The 315 cmh lights uses a 102watts less than my 8 bulb t5's.
Also CMH light is approximately at its best 89 to 92 % of what the sun produces and after 9 months or 5000 hour's it's still running around 85% of what the sun produces . So for artificial light that's really Kick-Ass . and the start-up cost of the CMH lights right now you can get a ballast an adapter socket and a light bulb for a 135.00 bucks on eBay . and the adapter will allow you to run the CMH light in the HPS / MH Hood or reflector cuz the adapter screws right in and the cmh light bulb attaches to the adapter . To me it was a win-win situation when I discovered I was able to do that a couple of years ago and I started gearing up and tooling towards that with my grow light system now inside and outside.

Hey GTG, I sure did see the DIY light i went back and checked. The CMH lights have gone up a bit in price now. It could be that the reflector and that is included. Its more effecient than the T5s That sounds like more power than the T5 can give in terms of light. Its good to have strong lights and less than say LEDSs in cost. So for the shaded area more CMH lights, they cover bloom and vege? or white light that does both. Shade is anoying, i have to move plants on the east side usually to chase the sun, the west side is good all morning but then shaded and east side gets the afternoon sun. The greenhouse site, not the best sun, but summer its hits there esp the afternoon so it would be strong sun.

I just order 2 of this one.

The only thing you got to have for this is the old HPS Hood or a wing to screw the adapter into and away you go

Thanks GTG mate, it just needs hood. My T5 only 6500k for just vege and not bloom so i hope for the sun to be out more with a normal dry winter but who knows it could be wet

You could use this bulb from Veg to bloom to harvest... you don't have to change it if you don't want to. It's got good color for the whole way.
You get more bang for your buck with that light system than any other light system right now available for the price range it is in.
You'll see such more vigorous growth with the cmh over the T5 light that you will only have to veg for 3 to 4 weeks to get a nice-sized plant. And if your using a 8 bulb t5 you'll save money on power.
