But I do have one plant under a 600 watt single ended HPS
it is I believe a Channel+ x blueberry (very sativa)
very high tech setup as always
now it is about 10 days into flower should be done
mid to end of July
all the best

Ok here is an update
I have a single plant that I do not know what it is
I believe it is a Channel+ by a sativa blueberry
who knows it a weed plant and a female, so life is gold
this was on Monday Night which is 14 days since the flip
the first week I did 10/14 for the light now it is 12/12 under a single end
600 watt HPS hung vertical naked
starting to look like bud
will more likely need to go ten weeks but channel+ is very fast with big
buds, so we will see
a couple of more
so we will see, when I start back up inside this fall might start doing one plant a light
with 4 lights in an 8 foot by 8 foot
all the best and be safe

EDIT: I did see a bit of webbing from my dear friends the spider mites
sprayed them with some kind of oil and nothing more yet
but after the room is empty and clean, I will go nuclear on them
peace and be safe

the bugs host is the plant. Once you have scrubbed the room up, just make sure to engage the protocols to ensure nothing re-infests. This includes making a primitive clean room then making sure you never bring anything in from outside that isn’t clean, including yourself. For tips on primitive clean room making, I recommend a quick viewing of what Clair Cameron Patterson was doing in his early days trying to keep lead from contaminating his experiments. He would vacuum people off before they went in, initially :). It can be that primitive for sure. Also make sure all clones coming in from outside are cleaned as well. If you want to know, the protocol zero is just an easier extension of what you can do in the lab to clean plants of pests by making a tiny clean cutting, something a regular person can do instead of needing a lab to culture things.

@JoeCrowe thanks for your advice and input
indeed the easiest way of staying bug free is not to get them in the first place
I do indeed get the idea as I back in 1984 worked for Jones and Scully meristeming orchids
in their lab
an update Monday will be three weeks since the flip
enjoy the day

and Update and some Blah Blah Blah
so here are clones I cut the other day as if I need more plants
they will take a bit longer to root as I gave the mothers 20-20-20 a couple days before
21 days since the flip
I am not sure how long this plant will go as I know nothing about it
starting to look like bud
all the best and be safe

SO yesterday 07/02/2020
I was nice and stoned at lights on time for my one indoor plants
never have used a timer on flower rooms only veg
no timer makes it so i have to look at the plants twice a day
and low and behold
The plant is full seeds and I do not mean like a few
I mean like a ton, oh well have more seeds need seeds to OverGrow the world eh?
but here is my question for you all, the plants is about 5 weeks into 10/14 lighting
can I move it outside to finish? put it in a place that get dark at 5 PM ?
your thought as I would like to finish my room
all the best

you can actually see the seeds in the photos you posted on 6/29. If the photo period is right you could move them outside, depending on the conditions out there, they might get a little stressed. Like you could shade them at first if the light outside is too much. Just make sure once they are outside you never bring them back in

you indeed can, I saw one that was popping out and like OH my!
I found I have a 4 by 8 tent setup duh!
so I will use that so I can finish repairing my room and put in an AC unit
I just hung 3000 watts of single ended MH/HPS lights
and have space to do 32 to 36 plants
but will need AC
thank you for your input always welcomed
peace and be safe
