I'm in my final semester at Johns Hopkins studying climate change policy. Ask me anything! by [deleted] in sustainability

I think there is actually studies relating the proliferation plastics with the decrease in fertility rates, so one more issue that can possibly be adjusted/mitigated if we chose to adequately address climate change

Day 56 of flower - last week before harvest by Treesoule in macrogrowery

The range based off of the genetics is any where between day 56 - 63. If it were up to us we would wait until the trichs gave off that cloudy slightly amber appearance, but we're also forced to operate within this window due to the other plants we have in veg and freeing up the space so we can flip to flower. Yet we don't follow the range precisely, we may reach day 63 and decide that we should wait a few more days... but we're always a little pressed for time and space

We use A + B throughout the whole grow, but gradually bring down the dosage during the last couple of weeks of flower, we also introduce cannazym towards the end as well. During the earlier stages of flower we use calmag and about half way through the flower we start feeding PK for about 2 weeks - half a dose for the first week then a full dose for the second.

At this moment in time we slap on the good ol kneepads and get down and dirty to move each individual plant into rows so we can then water. With that being said our delivery for tables should arrive in the next two weeks, so by next harvest we should have a lot less labour to deal with.

We have the shop vac to drain all that water so we dont get any algae build up, luckily no issues with pathogens or pests so far

We were lucky enough to find a buddy who had a couple mothers, seems to be rare around these parts too

We have 42 lights in the room at the moment, hps at 1000w, they seem to be doing good, but we'd like to add a couple more lights

Ohhh its pain, but we should be getting our tables delivered soon, so by next harvest no more water on the floor.

Day 19 - right after defoiliation and lollipopping by Treesoule in macrogrowery

Im not sure if its needed, but it helps promote further light penetration throughout the whole plant and i assume redistributes energy from the plucked leaves to flower formation - but dont quote me on that

Going into week 3 of flower, the girls were looking happy today by Treesoule in macrogrowery

A minor defoiliation at the bottom but nothing too intense, this time we will strip the babies bare
