Indoor Tropical Outdoor: White Widow Max, AK47, Cheese, Great White Shark, Northern Lights

[Exotic Flower]

I've been having all sorts of crazy memories of late about some of my old gardens.
Thought I'd share:

I used to have my clone room / seedling room built out of the shell of a top-loader washing machine.
The old washing machine broke down, and we were too broke to fix it up.
So I ripped the internal parts out of it, the chassis and motor and stuff, but kept the outside metal casing / cover and top / lid.
It was a nice size, about 60cmX60cm (2'x2') square, and about 120cm (4') high.
The top loading hole was the perfect size to drop a (fairly old) 150W HID flood lamp that I had lying around.
After starting clones or seedlings in a little plastic humid cloning box,
I'd put them into cut down plastic milk cartons, about 10cm x 10cm x 10cm (4" x 4" x 4"),
with holes cut in the bottom, some potting mix and vermiculite, and drop them inside, max of 16 in total (4 by 4).
The height of the washer meant that they couldn't get too close to the light, and without ventilation, it got fairly warm in there.
But, I used to regularly get up to 10cm (4") a day growth, record of about 12cm (5") out of some of my clones / seedlings in that washer room.

Fun times back in the day!!!!!!

Cuties before bedtime!

The A-AK47 and A-White Widow Max are now slowly moving out of seedling stage to regular vegetative stage.
Will give them a first light nutrient drink in a day or two.

I put out my plants to receive light also during the day I find that the sunlight is the best light for both photos and autos,during the night I bring them in ,in my recreational grow but I do let my autos get a few hours of darkness,I live in Oregon so my season is short so indoor and green house is my only option coming up .

Thanks for your support and passing by!



During the day I have these little babies out on the porch. Have to move them a couple of times a day to get the light.
They get sunlight when it's clear, or nice full hazy light when it's cloudy. Also a bit of a breeze, just the right amount.
Due to latitude, only about 13-14 sunlight hrs a day right now, so at dusk I bring them inside, and hang a little flouro over them.
It's very small, so won't provide much photosynthesis energy, but will keep them ticking along, until about 11pm.
Then I put them out on the porch (it's covered) overnight, so they can catch the first rays of the sun around 5 to 5:30 or so.

Everything seems to be going nicely right now. They aren't as well developed as many grows that a straight under lights 24, or 18/6 or whatever.
But I'm not in a position to do a indoor grow right here. Going organic with sunshine, with a little help.

I did the same process as you but with cheap(er) LED lights at night so 24/0, for the first 26 days...worked excellent!

I grow completely organic and can get 13ft indica dominate plants organic is the only way to go for the loud medical no flush grey ashes why put stuff that ain't native or natural in their but then again different ways to grow not downing anyone else's style seen beautiful Chem plants,and without a doubt I learned from my folks organic growing and that same old school style I will pass on to my kids when they become old enough (completely grown up)if they decide farming medicine is right for them

You'll have to ask Dina Browner for that question!
