Things are starting to take off now! I've transplanted into a mix of 3 and 5 gallon pots, just wanted to see how much difference there would be when it's all said and done. Plants are now in their grow room under a Mars Hydro SP3000. I'm shooting for a PPFD of around 800-900. I'm watering a pint a day and still not seeing any runoff to speak of. I'm planning to start increasing that amount and getting shifted over to watering every other day. The purchase of the week this week was an IR Thermometer. I spent a few days before transplanting trying to get the grow room temperature and rH dialed in and in the process I fell into the rathole of trying to figure out what is really meant by room temperature vs canopy temperature directly under the lights vs leaf surface temperature. By nature, I'm inclined to overthink everything and clearly growing cannabis is not going to be an exception to that! Maybe smoking some cannabis will take the edge off my tendency to obsess :) With all that said, being able to shoot leaf surface temperatures with an IR thermometer is pretty cool and allows for being able to calculate Vapor Pressure Deficit which will provide some insight into how efficiently the plants can undergo transpiration.

I’d say that prohibition for decades created a steady supply/demand that set black market prices as they are. Yes it should have easily gone down in price since legalization has taken hold in the last decade but there are so many factors involved. Black markets still hold a huge sway on prices, someone in a legal state can just scoot their “legal” product across state lines to illegal markets. I don’t think we’ll see a significant price decrease commercially (or otherwise) any time soon.

@ButchMcQueen, no problem! It is so rewarding to do it yourself, as with many things in life. But you can’t deny the price savings in growing your own cannabis vs buying. PS- I do believe that in time legality and market forces will bring prices down but I’d wager it won’t be for several years

@Ezzjaybruh, Those are some points that I hadn't thought about, but they make perfect sense to me. Legal or not, demand is what demand is, and supply is what supply is... and the price responds accordingly. That price being what it is, I'm amazed more people don't grow their own. As I'm learning, there is some work involved, but I'm finding it both satisfying and rewarding. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Hey Butch, good luck with the ILGM White Widows as your first grow! I'm reaching the end of my first grow too. Feel free to look at my diary for comparison and educational purposes. I like to be rather thorough in my diary unlike some others. I am using different materials and techniques than you so far. I look forward to learning from your experience as well. 👍

@JabzXtreme, Just wandered my way through your journal and I must say I'm pretty impressed! Seems to me that you were pretty ambitious going in and that its really paying off for you. Looking forward to seeing how your harvest results turn out. Best of luck!

Looks like early stages of flowering. I believe that switching your light schedule to 12/12 will give flowering “a boost”.
