Excellent point @1BigFella, I am just looking for more specific and detailed information so that I can make the best decisions and get my setup to the desired state as quickly and cost effectively as possible.

PAR meter is a great way to go, if a tad expensive. You can get very professional grower-type results.

Day 67 Update: Flipped to flower 4 days ago, the Gold Leaf plants continue to produce more white pistils but not really in full flower yet, the White Widow plants don’t have any white pistils yet but there is new growth (leaves and even branches) emerging from where I expected pistils based on what the GL’s are doing. No balls (yet), thankfully:+1:
They all appear to be healthy and show measurable growth each day or two. Even though very subtle, it does appear as the all of the plants are starting to stretch a little bit. Lights remain at about 23" or so for the time being to keep them from stretching too much.

@merlin44, way to go. I flipped too. I had to put a lock-out tag-out sign on the door so I wouldn’t mistakenly open the door to take a gander at the girls. I have Northern Lights and Gold Leaf flipping at the same time. That should be interesting. You have GL and WW flowering at the same time. I haven’t researched it but what Nute shortage should be on the lookout for. P and K? (Phosph. and Potassium). I have Blooming Nutes from Roberts B’s site but I have yet to read the ingredients.

Lock out/tag out!! Haven’t used one of those in many years! Lol

I just lock up my freezer (where my plants flower), and I’ve trained myself to look at the clock on the wall right beside it when I pull and it doesn’t open. But a big red tag might work better! LOL

Excellent @Flyr, I thought about doing that but have a red light next to the flowering room door that flashes while the lights are off to remind me to NOT OPEN THE DOOR! The PLC that controls the entire grow operation is also controlling the flashing light.
OOPS, I changed the text to properly indicate that the light flashes when the lights are OFF

Awesome Merlin I didn’t get any cuttings from my first grow since my wife is not really supportive at the moment. Can’t wait to see how yours do

Perhaps your wife will have a change of heart and mind on the subject, we can only hope

My wife doesn’t approve, at all, but I’ve convinced her that it’s better than me spending 7k a year on it. When she heard that figure, she almost started encouraging the grow.
She knows I have no plans to stop smoking anytime soon, so she has called a truce in the battle against my growing. It helps that it’s legal, here.

That’s what prompted me…wait, so I smoke how much a week? And it’s HOW much an ounce? Oh, no, I’ll just grow it myself…

I haven’t bought any in well over 30 years, about what does it cost to buy?
This is why I decided to grow a little

Great question, I will be watching for the answer(s) as I have not purchased any dope in 35 years. Been getting free, moderately crappy dope from a relative that grows. That is why I am growing.
