I don't control the light cycles with outdoor grows. It is outdoor flowering season now. All outdoor plants will start turning this month. Plants also grow a bit differently outdoors compared to indoors. They are more stretched when under the sun. (This has a lot to do with the arc of the sun through the sky. The apex is growing from east to west as it follows the sun during the day.) This same girl indoors will have tighter nodes and only be 25-35cm tall. EDIT: Pre-flowering also has little to do with the light cycle. Once a plant is sexually mature, it will pre-flower.

Quick update. 1 week later. @ 5 weeks, this plant is 45cm tall, and is just starting to pre-flower now. Looking male to me, but it really is to early to tell, especially with this cross. Batch 2 has 10 survivors, a week old.

The more ladybugs the better! You will find though that if you keep "loosing" ladybugs there simply isn't any food for them, I.e. no bugs you want to get rid of so great. They will leave to find food.

I think the better idea would be to keep them outdoors and take individual beetles indoors. 10-20 beetles would work well in an average indoor environment size. The beetles live for quite a while, and do return back to the celery plant while they have babies there. I have noticed that they nurse them by carrying aphids to the larvae, so taking the whole plant and moving it around from outdoor to indoor, I reckon you risk serious indoor contamination. I'm just not sure what effect your other pesticides will have on the beetles. I use no pesticides in an outdoor environment, and very little indoors, limiting it to neem oil only really.

Something else that few consider is keeping that PC running all day and night. It draws as much power as a 250w setup.

Definitely a good idea, especially for larger pots. Organic mixes can get heavy! What a cool idea to recycle the bin of the vacuum

A wheeled pot?

There really isn't an "easiest" method, or medium to growing. Everybody has to find what works for them. Coco/perlite (soiless) is pretty straight forward, but you are going to need a ph and ec pen for fertilizing. Same applies to hydro. Organic promix might be your best start if you don't want the added expense. Although even these need amendment of sorts. You will still need some lekker organic nutrients to feed. Full on living organics is even simpler. All you do is mix your soil, and then wait. 2 months minimum, but the longer you leave it to age the "sweeter" the soil becomes. This can also be a relatively expensive route, but there is little that beats a bud grown in a good living soil. For a quick solution, have a look what the various online stores have available. Jamiesgardenshop.co.za is a place to visit. He has an organic living soil named Orgasoilux. Hope this helps.

I germinate my seeds by soaking them for 24 hours in plain tap water that has stood for 24h or so. I only soak the seeds for 24hrs. Anymore and you actually risk drowning the embryo. From there they get planted straight into their medium at a depth of at least 10mm. After 2-4 days those that have germinated will surface.

Love the venting. This should become our "I can vent shit here" thread.

Hectic. I couldn't imagine myself not getting stuck into that scissor hash, and never mind a month into curing... :-hilarious

If your friend harvested at full amber, that is already an indication of a Sativa. Many of the landrace sativa's have that overpowering citrus phenotype. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

I would prepare for a long flower. That looks terribly Sativa to me.

Yes, this is a Sensi Jack. And she really is amazing. Sadly, this specific grow I had to close done, but Jack is something I always have not too far away.

those large bark particles are only messing with your medium pH, and they are a nice home to start harboring root pests. I would remove them.

Thanks 420. This year I am running with Comfrey tea/concentrates on my grows. A year ago I decided to plant some comfrey in an area of my garden, and they are now at a point where I harvest fresh leaves as necessary. I will post up more detail on this wonderful fertilizer in a new thread. These were planted a year ago, and below is what I planted this year.

Any pics?

I have sampled bud from this cross over the last 2 years working with the line. The buds are rock hard and dense, smothered in crystals. The overall terpene profile I've been selecting for is blueberry dominant and is apparent with all females. This is a very relaxing strain, and great to end off a hard day's work with. Harvesting a bit later brings overwhelming relaxation, and will plant you to a couch, but not knock you out. A Bud from the last grow.

She'll be 4 weeks from seed in soil tomorrow. Still no confirmation it's a female although she looks and smells female. Very few of the males with this cross smell so terribly of blueberry. This grow will finish outdoors.

Mad Scientist ( Male ) is from Breeders Choice. Sannie is the breeder, and it's lineage is White Widow x Herijuana. Jackberry F4 ( Female ) also one of Sannies creations, and is a cross of Blueberry Indica F1 x Sannies Jack

What a mission it has been to get myself going this year. But never the less, here is the start of this log. So, i popped some beans New Years day, and lost 9 to birds. I have this Robin that keeps coming back to breed in my garden every year, and their chicks are worse than an adult chicken I tell you. I have dropped another 12 seeds, and they are starting to break the surface now. Here is the sole survivor of round 1. Will post pics of the seedlings in a day or 2.

Seriously though...If you follow the money, and by that I mean have a look at the USD in it's entirety. It is collapsing, and it is the East that is choking it. Everywhere where the US currently have military looks to me like a Military General is positioning battalions in such a way that resembles WW2 tactics. ( Just looking at geographical spread. ) The US are really not the world super power any more. China holds the economy, with India close behind. As far as believing all the conspiracies...Where there is smoke there has to be a fire. Obviously a lot has been completely ripped out of perspective to create media sensation, but I'm sure that in all those conspiracies there is some form of truth being put out there.

Those, and I personally think NASA never went to the moon!

Ahh.... Flat Earth vs. Round Earth. There is no real proof in my mind that either one is more plausible than the other.
