sorry for the late update the farm dog went missing a couple of days b4 my weekly visit to the pot patch. I spent the entire week looking for her. We did eventually find her exactly 1 week after she went missing. plants are doing well. 3rd week into bloom did a bit of house keeping on the interior of the plant. no big defoliations though I dont believe in that on outdoor plants. not a hint of PM and very very strong branches now thanks to all the foliar sprays with Silica.
I grew some Ya Hemi from Grandiflora. I only popped ONE seed from the pack...I grew mine outdoors and it was decent . I think it could have been better if grown indoors.
Great job sir, now if mother nature will take care of them you will be looking at some serious time in trim jail come fall.... good luck with them π€π€π²
Awesome. Iβm near Edmonton (53N) where you pretty much have to force flower any photoperiods. One plant this year got too big for me to cover (Bubble OG manifold) but I noticed in Ed Rosenthalβs Growerβs Handbook a paragraph about using a far red light at dusk. Sometimes called phyto-deprivation, the 730 nm light for a few seconds at dusk essentially causes the plant to shift to dark mode two hours faster than normal. So an actual 9 hours of dark is worth 11 hours which means the plant starts flowering sooner and under stronger light. Nice trick, and has been described as making it a 26 h day during flowering. My light arrived just in time, and Iβve doing it for about 4 nights now and it does seem to help. If I can get my biggest plant flowering a month earlier then the light βpays for itselfβ.
@XperencdGmanXG, donβt know how to paste link on phone in Growdiaries but is from a company in Seattle.

4 foot long 730 nm LED supplemental light.
Other companies make similar lights but were out of stock. A flashlight type would likely be better (AgroLight I think it was) but this 4 foot bar is in stock, lightweight, and durable enough. Iβm liking it. π
@Northern_Ent,sweet nice to know a technique works. Gas lantern works as well I use it in veg all the time saves me 11 hours of hydro a day. with better than 18/6 results. What light did you end up buying? Got a link?
Very nice fellow gangsta man hehe π thatβs what my G stands for . I like you plant size - come check out my outdoor garden too bro, canβt wait to see the next weeks of your grow ! Glad you found your pooch too
