2nd Desert Indoor-Outdoor Grow

[Smot_poker]

Hello mama!!!! let me bounce an idea off you. I saw on another forum a setup that was in a glass patio of a house and could be used with sunlight year round for both cycles. what it did, was it had the flowering ladies just feed off the sunlight, and it had the plants that were vegging separated from the budding plants by a black drop cloth. in your case, that cloth wouldn't be necessary, but what was behind the cloth were some small solar powered led lights. it was just one led per plant, nothing like JAMM's panels, but they provided sufficient light for a set period of time to keep the plants in veg. It took less money and less electricity than using a big fluorescent set up, and it worked just as well. if your area doesn't get insanely cold outside like i know it can in the desert, you might do good to look into this as it would wipe out the need to continually move your plants back and forth from outside to inside.

and 960 for an ounce of shwag????? jeeeez i could get a qp of dank for 850 where i live.

Great idea, Smot! I'll look into that....

Maybe it's a good think I had to pay $960 oz for schwag---it motivated me to join MP and learn to grow my own!!!

I've had a bit of a PH and nute problem--PH was too high, nute lock-out, so I adjusted it and new growth looks good. Old fan leaves on some look horrid.

Those that seemed to want more nutes than I gave them are the Hawaiians and the Wizards. One of the WWF2's also.

Some plants are more sensitive to the nute factor.

Seems odd to say, but I am glad you paid so much too, as now you are here...as you say.

Just droppin' in to check out my fave desert grower......tcbud waves....

Looking nice mm :aok:


Why did you pull the fan leaves off?
they still look like they have a lot of good stuff for the plant to use. I do not pull any damaged, nute burned, or any fan leaves unless they are dead and all dried upped. The plants may not look as good but the plant can still use all that good stuff left in those leaves. I need to go vape I am not making sense

 

[mojavemama]

PC, you're making EXCELLENT sense, I beg to differ! So you think I should just leave 'em on there, huh? Okay, works for me. I figured they were dying, so they would be just taking energy from the healthier tops. But it would not be the first time my reasoning was faulty. So, I appreciate the advice and I'll leave those big bad yellow suckers on there from now on. THANK YOU!!!

hi there mojavemama,

just dropping in to say hello and pull up a seat to watch this grow progress. Looks like you picked some really nice strains to work with. Green Mojo your way mama

 

[mojavemama]

Thank you all for your help and good Green Mojo!!!

10-30-09: Culled 7 plants today--5 males, 2 lanky possibly fems that wouldn't have given much bud anyway. Only one Purple Frost left, and two of the Widows were male (Noooooo!!!!!!). One Widow is still questionable. But one is sweet, compact and looking promising. I'm down to 13 plants, not counting the Candy, Cookie and Monster Can grows.

13 plants are much more manageable. Picture is of the sweet little Widow.

Here BuddsKeeper:48: shes got a nice WW huh?

 

[mojavemama]

thanx bk and 4u on the widow---i have some really sweet looking plants right now, all bushy and healthy. Not at all stretched. But wow, those purple frostings are so big, i had to transplant the last 2 into 3 gallon containers today. i wonder if they are mainly outdoor plants? All 4 of them were like ginormously tall. jack and the beanstalk!

4u, ok, you're kicking my butt in the candy grow, but only because my best girl has taken her time growing. she's filling in and looking very gorgeous. unfortunately, i consider her 'cheating' because it's such a big container. that's why i started the other two tiny ones. i really want the experience of trying to keep the micros alive and green. it's a challenge.

sooooo, if you weren't kicking my butt in the candy grow (and heck, every other grow) then you wouldn't be my Master Po! (or are you too young to remember kung fu?)

my inbox is now as much cleaner than my fridge, 4u!

 

[lordhighlama]

any particular reason u rapped those pots in the white tape?

 

[mojavemama]

Hi Lord, of the fabulous bud porn!

YES, the reason I wrap all my pots with white tape is because I live in the Las Vegas area--in the heart of the Mojave Desert. DRY and HOT with intense sunlight. Black attracts heat too much, so we have to wrap pots with something light.

Also, anything growing in the summer in pots has to be DOUBLE POTTED with wet spagnum moss or newspaper in between the pots. It's a real challenge to keep anything alive in 120 degree heat with the sun so intense.

The dance I had to do last year with my spring grow was exhausting. I had to take the plants out in the morning, then by 10 am, put the shade cloth on them or move them into the shade. And I had them all in garden carts, with gravel on the bottom and water in the gravel, to help with some humidity.

Then, I'd have to go out and spray them with water several times in the afternoon. It was a major learning curve, not only because it was my first time growing, but because I can't yet afford decent lights so MUST make the sunlight work for me. Color me DETERMINED!

Yes, white duct tape is my friend.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

[the chef]

Hehehehe, way to go mama! 4u is now gettin whooped by two! I gotta get me some purp.

 

[lordhighlama]

interesting mama, sounds like a definite challenge, but as with everything a little thinking and creativity gets you along ways.
