I had a dream last night that I opened the 4x4 and those 3 plants were a shriveled up mess. It was really nice seeing them so happy. They went from 80°/50% RH and 180 watts of QB to 77°/40%RH and 600w hps. Sometimes the RH gets under 20% when the humidifier runs dry. Winter is rough in this basement. Even hanging clothes to dry down there doesn't raise it. I guess it's a great way to test their resistance to a low humidity environment. I'll keep notes.

Every grow is a learning experience, even when you're my age? You learn to adapt to every curve ball you're thrown. Makes this life interesting.

Exactly. I love being at the point to where I can experiment and just have fun growing. And I love testing for y'all folks. The only problem I have now is I need more room to grow. I think we all have that problem at some point. I always figure it out though. I found a 2x4 tent that is 84 inches tall so that's getting bought on the first and going right next to our bed. That'll give us room for 3-4 more for flower and a bunch for when we need it for veg. Might even use it to keep a couple mommas. It's getting interesting for sure and it's going to get even more so very soon.

There's never enough room to do what you want. How about using the whole basement and a tent(s) to flower? How much more would it cost to heat the whole thing? Cooler temps 60' 70's aren't a death sentence. I got mine through 30's and 40's outside. A bit slower growth but may be worth it.

Does it really, though? Not to argue, but just a first stone of the day reaction - I hate curve balls. I like predictable and reliable. I'm scanning to see if there's any areas of life where I would prefer a Kershaw uncle Charlie over a Buehler dead red heater, but can't think of any. [ weed, Waffle House, weather, companions, humans ....]

Name one that isn't from time to time. Predictable and reliable isn't reality?

But if my eggs are undercooked I can predictably send them back and reliably get a re-cook. That's a good enough reality for me.

But seriously, regarding growing weed, my routine has had very few changes in a decade. Same hydro, same nutes for the most part. The only part of a grow that has variables at this point is the finished bud because of using different varieties. I'd think most growers would strive to have a consistent regimen that works and avoids those problematic curveballs.

Of course but how many of us do or even can? I can't control a lot of variables outside so I adapt. Rain for a week? Cold for a month, all unexpected? Adapt, make the best of it and move forward.

Took a few pics of cantaloupe kush and purple biscauto. Im pretty darn happy with how these are turning out. I love this 600w hps! I tried to upload a small video. It was only 16 seconds long and only 95 megabytes in size but it failed for being too big. The last video I uploaded was longer and bigger(giggity) and uploaded just fine. Anyways.... here's the pics

Cantaloupe kush has about 3 days left. We need this too because we have absolutely no meds left. This is the first time we've been totally dry in a very long time. Shit happens but it really sucks when this happens.

Damn, I put this in the wrong journal again. @Brokehoe This belongs in our autoflower journal. The breeder is Mosca and the nose is straight rocket fuel. Northern lights and west coast OG auto were used for this cross. Just smelling it a little while ago made me sneeze. This is the loudest the terps on this strain have been yet for me. That terpinator works. I have one bean of this left and will definitely be getting more. It's a solid auto that will not disappoint. The 2nd one we grew gave us 99 grams in 84 days.

Edit: I wish I could be more descriptive with the smell of our plants. 3 bouts of rona have left me with a useless sniffer lol. I can smell, it's just dulled to the point that it's very hard to discern a lot of aromas. I hope it comes back one day.

Damn damn damn. We just cannot catch a break. Im so tired of this damn virus. My son woke up with a fever, nonstop coughing etc. I woke up with my chest hurting like hell. We can get tested but by the time we get the results it'll be February. This time is gonna be the worst though. Completely broke, no meds of any kind, the wife is gonna have to take off work again. Sorry for the rant. This just sucks and y'all are my only friends.

If it's covid it'll be our 4th round with it. I've only left the house a dozen times since March 18th 2020. Trying to hide from this shit does not help. Staying away from people does not help. After round 4 is over it's time to start living life again.
