Oh my dumb ass put the plant outside to harden off yesterday. . .and forgot about it out in the 90° heat 0% Rh and the 20 mph wind. . . She lost most of her fan leaves and a few others from dry out. . .but she’s still alive

Here she is. . .yesterday she didn’t have a single thing wrong. . .almost a month and she still had green coyteldons . . .not anymore :cry:


She was outside for 3 hours. . .my environment is unforgiving. . . Been foliar spraying with straight water to try to save the leaves she’s got

looks healthy otherwise, losing the cotyledons is really nothing to be concerned about, its more a challenge to try and keep them the entire grow.

@ReikoX - what are some of the genotype differences between the crystal candy and the la muse. . .I’m trying to find out which genetics I have.


She’s starting to bud so she is giving off a slight skunk smell

But a leaf rub gives off no real terepeniod aroma, just green plant smell

@meesh. . .here’s my update on my auto. . .all hydro by eye. . . She’s starting to yellow on her bottom leaves but I’m not worried😁


Can’t keep the damn cats away from the plant long enough to get a good pic, she’s at 12 inches now

That is a US men’s size 12 fyi. . . She’s actually a little smaller than my garden shoes because she up higher than my foot but she’s definitely bushy

And here is my bud porn. . .I tried using my super secret hoodini’s bud booster (pure cane sugar) with the mega crop and now that shit stinks lol then I tried flushing her with my unknown ph/ppm well water and it caused her a little problems but she’s still coming on strong

P.s the lime green pipe cleaner you see wrapped around the one branch is to remind me which branch I pollinated, and I’ll use different color pipe cleaners if I’m using more than one male pollen. . .lime green is razzleberry (and my favorite color hahaha)

And this is the house that my pal Mrs."high"der the spider built and is laying her eggs in it. she started out as a little spider eating nats on the plant, to now she is about the size of a .17 caliber bb and she munches on full size flies. . .it’s been a pretty cool experience watch both the spider and the plant grow together and work together. The plant has a protector from the insects and in return the plant provides shelter, a perfect hunting area and a great view

I have lots of spiders in my outdoor grow, while I’m generally not a fan of any insects (or arachnids) on my plants I’m just letting em have a free lunch on all the mites, aphids and leafhoppers on my leaves. But the webbing is starting to get out of hand I might have to blow some houses down soon.

Ya I’ve been keeping her contained on a certain area on the plant (I knock down all her webs except the one I want her to have. . .she was trying to nest right next to my main cola and I moved her from there real quick. . . Mostly it’s the spider than puts up with me lol

Nice! She’s budding too… a few more of mine are starting too. I let those creepy spiders live on my plants too, although I knock down their webs often, they just spin a new one, I prefer ladybugs though. They don’t creep me out as much. lol

Well one down 49 more to go hahah but i had to hook it up to my buck boost and try her out. . .for a cheap ass little led strips I’ve still got 6 dots flashing as I blink writing this lol


And for the big question. . . How much electicity am I pulling? Well my buck boost can tell me that

To determine the wattage, use a simple multiplication formula. The ampere (or amps) is the amount of electricity used. Voltage measures the force or pressure of the electricity. The number of watts is equal to amps multiplied by volts.
So .125 a x 3.95 v =0.49375 watts per led strip
.49w x 50 led strips = 24.6875 total wattage at 3.95 volts hahahahahah anyone ever ran a 25 watt grow?

Got her dialed into the perfect voltage

25w is a bit low, but I bet you could pull off a single 1’x1’ plant under it.
