@minitiger

Exactly how hot is it? If it’s anywhere over about 92 or so, odds are good that they’ll fry. I typically sprout outside, but there’s no way I’d sprout anything outside right now (it’s also like 103 where I live today, ((and every day lately)) so… haha). I’ve also noticed that September tends to be the hottest month of the year here. You would think it’d start cooling down then, but there’s always a few days where it gets up to like 115, 118 degrees in mid-September. I dunno what that’s about, but it might be something to consider. Even if you’re in the basin or somewhere like that, it’ll probably get into the mid- to high-90’s.

Also, unless you’re gonna supplement with light after the sun goes down, they’re gonna start flowering pretty much immediately. It’s that time of year, ya know?

if he’s west of downtown, the heat wave is already over haha, but yeah over 92 that’s probably where they’ll fry, and my plant that are outside have been flowering for like a month now, even if there’s tons of street lights, but yeah @HumblePie420 i don’t think they’ll flower right away, they’ll grow at least like a foot before sexing, but that’s just my guess, did you wet 'em yet?

the hardest thing with the fume’s is deciding what to re-run, i planted the #5 then 2 days later ripped it out the ground and replaced by the #3 then wanted to replant the #5 then #2 was my favorite for a day then today #4 reallly hits, so i’m regrowing #4 and #3 but i made a couple mistakes on both so they are smaller than my other plants so i’ll have room to re-run #2 and #5 after all, i’ll have room… i killed #1 and regretted it immediately and i regret it every time i smoke it too, it has the nicest roundest nugs and was leaning towards what i imagine the 91 is like, while #4 and #5 are more piney/og like, havn’t thought about the other strains like at all, killed most of 'em already and kept the 1 standout of each

@JustSumTomatoes

Guerilla Fume F2.

hell yeah! did you make those f2s? was it a open pollination or selective? either way cool stuff, remember to post about 'em when they’re flowering and then being smoked! my male is really really nice and smells like a oil rag

and since @minitiger talks about tv shows in his thread imma copy him and tell ya’ll to watch SEVERANCE it’s really fucking good and original, it’s with this fucking guy:

[JustSumTomatoes]

I didn’t make the F2’s, they were gifted to me. I believe it was an open pollination. I’ll keep y’all posted.

[supershitfuck]

@JustSumTomatoes

I didn’t make the F2’s, they were gifted to me. I believe it was an open pollination.

yeah i’m doing that at some point too, that’s something i’d love to have backed up like crazy

[minitiger]

@supershitfuck

the heat wave is already over haha

If it’s cooled down a little bit in your hood for the time being, trust me, dude: you’re getting a brief reprieve. The heat is most definitely not over with yet. And I just saw on the news that the highs in the basin are still gonna be around 88, 89 all week. Even that’s a little too hot for me to be sprouting seeds outside.

@supershitfuck

and tell ya’ll to watch SEVERANCE it’s really fucking good and original, it’s with this fucking guy:

Yeah, we keep meaning to start watching that. My girl actually watched the first three episodes, but I’ve only seen bits and pieces. We’ll probably check it out in earnest pretty soon.

I will forever be an Adam Scott fan, though, just because of his role on “Party Down.” That show’s funny as shit. If you’ve never seen it, watch it.

[HumblePie420]

@minitiger @supershitfuck You guys are right. It is swamp ass hot over here in the Northridge area. I’ve already planted them all into solo cups and have them outside under heavy sun shade screening which gives them dappled sun at most. The plan was to let them sprout in this location to utilize the warm nights and days just until they pop outta the ground. This gives me time to clean up my inside grow room and clean up the humidifier dust supershitfuck was having problems with as well. It got all over my fans, walls and in-line fan carbon filter wraps. You guys think this will be alright or am I gonna kill off all my seeds?

[minitiger]

@HumblePie420

in the Northridge area.

I’m in the same general vicinity and, like I said, I would not try to sprout seeds outside right now. At most, I’d keep the pots outside until about 11am, noon at the very latest, but after that I’d move them inside for the rest of the day, even with the shade cloth. Actually, ONLY with the shade cloth haha. I wouldn’t put them outside at all without something to diffuse direct sunlight. It’s way too intense right now for seedlings, not to mention too fucking hot and dry. I mean, regardless of the shade cloth, the ambient temps are still 96 degrees by like 1pm and 103 degrees an hour later.

I don’t know exactly how you grow, but if you’re sprouting your seeds in soil (and you’re dead set on sprouting in the sun), throw a thin layer of barley mulch/straw on top of the soil in your solo cups. Make sure it’s enough that it keeps the majority of the soil “shaded.” The sprouts will push through the mulch, don’t worry about that (seedlings are stronger than you think haha). And get a spray bottle if you don’t already have one. Set it on the finest “mist” setting or whatever and lightly spray the mulch/soil whenever you see it looking a little dry (which, in this weather, will be at least eight times a day; even when I sprout in the spring, I have to mist four or five times a day).

Supershitfuck lives in the last neighborhood I lived in before I moved out to your neighborhood. The weather in his neighborhood is completely different than where you and I live now. What works outdoors in Echo Park does NOT work in the Northridge area haha.

[HumblePie420]

Noted brother. I’ve grown indoors but trying to get my outdoor skills up to par. I’ve brought them indoors now.

[minitiger]

@HumblePie420

trying to get my outdoor skills up to par.

Like for the duration? You wanna do a full run outdoors in the summer/fall? It gets prettyyyyyyyy fucking hot out here, but if you really wanted to do that, I’d be sure they got a real good veg on and were relatively big before August rolls around. Get them in some big-ass pots. You’ll probably have to water them at least once a day, too, if not twice, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Our first summer in the new neighborhood, I had some plants sitting outside vegging in the first or second week of September. They weren’t even seedlings; all of them were on their fifth or sixth node, probably a month old. Anyway, a heat wave rolled in and it got up to 110 degrees one day. We had a few friends over, swimming and bbq’ing and shit. At the end of the day, when it was time to move the plants inside for supplemental lighting, I looked at them and they were all fried. Done. Dead. I didn’t know that it was gonna get 110-fucking-degrees outside because I’d never lived anywhere where 110 degrees was even a possibility before haha.

So, yeah, my point is: good luck haha!

[HumblePie420]

Moved them into my clone/mom room. It’s a little tight in there but it’ll do for now until I get my grow room cleaned up.

[HumblePie420]

I’ve got 5 outside now and are doing fine. Just harvested one last night as a matter of fact. They have been out side for the past 4 months or so. I guess I’m getting the hang of my outside environment. Famous last words right? lol
Just got some Moroccan Beldia going outside started from seed. These are SUPER finicky since they are drought tolerant plants and easily dampen off.

[HumblePie420]

You can see the white powder from the humidifier in this room as well since I pump air conditioned air from the my grow room into this room via in-line fan. I then have another ac infinity in-line fan in there with a carbon filter keeping the smells down. The white powder is minerals from our Los Angeles tap water. I purchased a humidifier with a built in filter to keep that white powder from ever showing up again.

[minitiger]

@HumblePie420

They have been out side for the past 4 months or so. I guess I’m getting the hang of my outside environment. Famous last words right? lol

Nah, you’ll be fine. That’s what I was getting at, is that if you ARE gonna flower outside out here, make sure they’re big and established before you do it. Four months ago, it was like 77 degrees every day haha. I just wouldn’t start any plants outside in this weather. But maybe it’s a little cooler in Northridge haha. I’m one city over and it’s hot as fuck. Even some of my succulents have fried up, never seen that before.

[supershitfuck]

@minitiger

My girl actually watched the first three episodes, but I’ve only seen bits and pieces.

man you gotta pay attention to every little detail, they all are relevant, pay attention, it’s hard for me to do that, but it’s worth it, on my list of greatness it’s probably above true detective season 1

@minitiger

We’ll probably check it out in earnest

haha i had to google that earnest word, but yeah, you answered my previous comment

@HumblePie420

clean up the humidifier dust supershitfuck was having problems with as well. It got all over my fans, walls and in-line fan carbon filter wraps.

i even tried to attach a water filter from the tap to the humidifier, still get that fucking dust now i just don’t control the humidity at all, fuck it, stress is good.

@HumblePie420

You guys think this will be alright or am I gonna kill off all my seeds?

the guerilla fume seeds took a little longer than some others to pop, all 13 popped tho, i wouldn’t have 'em wet and cold OR hot and dry, but if i had to choose, hot and dry, i don’t know if your seeds are under a cloning light in the humidity dome, but to me that would be wet and cold, i damped off expensive seeds before, fuck that! haha

@minitiger

I looked at them and they were all fried. Done. Dead. I didn’t know that it was gonna get 110-fucking-degrees outside because I’d never lived anywhere where 110 degrees was even a possibility before haha.

alright @HumblePie420 ya’ll valley bois going to have to figure this out together, if it gets 110 i got no advice for you haha

@HumblePie420

The white powder is minerals from our Los Angeles tap water. I purchased a humidifier with a built in filter to keep that white powder from ever showing up again.

is it a hand-filled one? or can you plug it into the tap? i actually have another humidifier that doesnt spray any white shit, and you can plug it into the tap or hand fill

it’s not for my grow tho it’s for my tshirt printer, it’s sensitive to low humidity

you can start seeds in this weather, no problem

[supershitfuck]

my best personal invention, to bend stems down low and horizontal to the ground

i planted guerilla fume #5 today, had to, ill run out of room, ill cut branches, but i need it

[DesertHeartGardens]

I use skewers or old dried stems from harvests with those plant ties for early training works great

[supershitfuck]

guerilla fume male tops in water, catching pollen in the glass jars, will it be still viable in a month+ ?

or should i focus on making sure my male will drop pollen on the day it’s going to pollinate?

[syzygy]

@supershitfuck

will it be still viable in a month+ ?

There are a lot of variables that can effect viability, but one of utmost importance is making sure the pollen is dry at every stage in the process for storage. I’ve had pollen stay viable for 6+~ months in the refrigerator in centrifuge vials w/ silica beads. 2 years for vacuum sealed bags containing silica and placed in freezer.

[supershitfuck]

@syzygy

There are a lot of variables that can effect viability, but one of utmost importance is making sure the pollen is dry at every stage in the process for storage.

do you think i could just like… close the lid on the jar when the ambient air humidity is low?

i don’t have vaccum sealer or cilica beads and stuff but good to know, i know it’s easy to get lol, i’m not trying to store pollen this round just enought to get a couple hundred seeds would be great! but my females arn’t in flower yet, and my male is starting to drop like now

[syzygy]

I think some people use grains of rice or flour as a desiccant in jars but I have no experience with it. Seemed like a good opportunity to introduce mold issues, but people seem to swear by it. I know here the ambient humidity is way too high this time of year to consider trying that, but not sure about out there. May want to let it air out for a few days to be sure before you put the lid on if nothing else, and keep it as spread out as you can.

[supershitfuck]

@syzygy

grains of rice or flour as a desiccant in jars

the rice makes sense to me, i like the idea, it’s hippy like, perfect. but i don’t like flour haha

i’m going to try to short term store the pollen i get now, and i think in a month the male will still be dropping right? it looks like it will, if not i’ll reveg the male and time it/store it better next time, but for now i’m going to “do it wrong”
