Hello This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of veg.
I see when taking pictures, that the plants are dry enough to give another watering, with some food too.
The plants have recovered enough and have started lifting the main tips.
Some of the longer growing tips/tops will be clipped to make 2 ends on each tip/top. Slows the upwards growth with the more tips/tops you have.
I wanted to show the 2 fans I have in these tents. I've tied the tower fan to the roof. It really circulates the air around the tent. And the smaller fan that brings in fresh air.
Showed some pics of the 2 plants I have left in the greenhouse. It's been an cool early fall and the buds haven't got very big. I can always make kief out of them.
I was over at my Buddy's on Sun. His plants aren't doing well this year either. He said 3 of the clones I gave him went to flower in the spring.
They turned back to veg but took longer to go into flowering at the end of summer. I had told him about flooding them with light for 5 minutes a night to keep them in veg.
But he thinks his light wasn't bright enough to keep them in veg in the spring.
You can see on his deck he made a shelter to put them in to keep the rain off them. He'll harvest when he see's a bit of bud rot happening.
He also didn't break up the soil from last year, in the spring. He just made a hole big enough to put the clone in and top fed. So the soil is packed, when the roots need air.
Oh Well. Live and Learn.
OK. Keep Growing Straight.

@Chuckwaggon420, There are web sites for used stuff in your city. Mine is called usedvictoria.ca
The person I got it off had been sponsored and had 2 grows with it. I got a good price on a almost new light.
When I got it, it hadn't been released to the public yet. I can dim it down to 20% for seedlings.

@Chuckwaggon420, Hi Buddy.
I start with filtered water. If the filter can take out things like lead and mercury then it will take out some fungus spores.
I think the biggest problem for the seeds is the Pythium Root Rot fungus. The spores are everywhere and chlorine doesn't kill them, so filter them out.
I add the HP for extra oxygen to help and it cleans the water too. It also helps to break down the membrane so the seeds will slip right out of their shells.
I add a pinch of cinnamon because it's anti-fungal to start with and it has the same properties as cloning gel.
If the seeds are older I will add some cloning gel to the water for a little extra umph for the seeds.
I've had pretty good sucuess with older seeds with this method.
Best wishes.
Chuck.
