The lights are now about 30-35 cm from the top colas and around 50-55 cm from the sprouts.

"Be careful what you water your dreams with.

Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds
that choke the life from your dream.

Water them with optimism and solutions
and you will cultivate success.

Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem
into an opportunity for success.

Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream."

^ Rogue Zero mother, still going strong.

^ Mr. Nice NL5xAfghan pregnant with Nice Rogue.
Some of the seeds are already mature.
Has been expanding a lot sideways this week.
Seems like it’s building a solid base before shooting upwards.

^ Crème de la Chem (or a cross with it) in the separate 2 L pot.

Every day, on all of them, new light green growth that is dark green at the end of the light cycle!

Some better angles of the Mr. Nice NL5xAfghan.

Gonna stop topping so we can see their most natural expression.
A giant main cola is nicer to look at. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Pretty good results for kitchenscraps…
Easy breezy.

Decreasing the light distance so drastically was a very good move.
This is all going way beyond my expectations!!!
Experimentation pays off folks!
When you’re persistent.
And take risks.

Some of Geoff Lawtons’ students won awards for best quality olive oil because they sowed a wide variety of covercrops in the olive tree grove.
They found a much higher amount of some important compound in the oil.

The others mostly tilled the soil.

Covercrops, so simple.
So many benefits…

Just got a 1lb bag of some red clover seed to try out. Gonna cover crop every pot in the house!

What will the red clover do for your indoor plants?

Fix nitrogen from the air into the soil.
Provides mulch, which slows down evaporation, and feeds the microbes and fungi.
Along with providing a distraction for insects that might otherwise munch on the cannabis.
Also further improves drainage.
It also looks nice. :smiley:

I’m gonna post pics later of “when cover cropping goes wrong”!
I had a single borage plant growing in a 3 gallons pot, but it didn’t come up until after my Fog Dog was transplanted in.
Long story short: with zero nitrogen amendments, she has gotten a heavy N toxicity from what the borage was fixing!
@Gpaw tried to warn me…

It’s best to have a variety of covercrops rather than mono cover cropping. :+1:

Variety, very important in every aspect of life.

Doesn’t matter how small or big your pot is.

Now you tell me…:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::bear:
Switching to a big raised bed, so there will be plenty of variety in there!

And don’t use only nitrogen fixers either, select half the covercrops to be non-nitrogen fixers.
Plant some covercrops you can eat too, and flowers, some nonsense to grow just for fun!

They in there, biding their time.
Just keep throwing seeds at it, something will happen eventually.

Just about every plant gives birth to a large number of seeds, same with sperm, nature doesn’t limit itself, abundance is the standard modi operandi.
How glorious!

I mean, just look at the stars… I don’t see any end to it all.

^^ Dangerous.
OGers we must protect @Rogue and make sure they and their loved ones are safe.

Freedom from nutrient buying is freedom. You ain’t Mama Moses, but you are definitely leading, and I got a ticket in the smoking car.
