Thanks @Darkheart420 you got me. So I like the warm humidifier idea. I think @DollarBill mentioned heating pad, I’m thinking I sit my girls on them(?). Can’t believe I’m worried about my plants :joy::grimacing::thinking:

Definitely smiling, gonna try the heating pad under my girl. Her pot is sitting on a riser, so roots won’t get to hot. More worried about my GDP photo is begging. Also suggested to use warm humidifier, but worried about mold. But does address drop in humidity??

So much to decide

@Adcrag warm air humidifiers are great. I use one in place of a heater during lights out to keep everything from frosting and drying out. Days here during the winter are dry but nights can get to 80-90% humidity.

Planning on harvesting WW on Tuesday, shell be 10 wks. Then I’ll flip light 12/12 for GDP photo. Do I change light intensity. Hey I planned on starting another 2 autos is 12/12 ok to do this??

Thanks

@Adcrag I always go 100% for flower myself so when you flip 12/12 I would turn the dimmer up. Keep it at the right distance so that the canopy is getting between 700 and 900 ppfd.

Starting autos under 12/12 is fine. They’ll grow under most lighting conditions. They just won’t yield as much as they would with the 18/6 or 20/4.

She still has lots of white pistils. She is still growing and stacking buds.
Are you sure you want to harvest?
I don’t stick to the breeders harvest recommendations. They are just a general guide.
I harvest by maturity of the plant. You want mature pistils and trichomes.
If you harvest now you will get some really racy product.
You want those pistils to recess and turn rust colored. The trichs would ideally be milky with some amber. You will need some magnification to check them. There are a few microscope apps that work or you can purchase a USB microscope or jeweler’s loupe.
I don’t like too much amber in my product but this is dependant on your own desires. Are you a deep ,heavy ,couchlock lover?

My autos went over 100 days before they were done.
I just don’t want you to put all of this work into your plant and harvest way too early. She can give you so much more.

After I pull the photo out of tent, can i change light cycle then??
I aerated & did some pruning. Gave GDP a lil extra nutes & cal-mag. I also plan to mist with cal-mag again after lights out.

Someone said I should run lights through night to keep temps up, how do I change without giving too much or too little light??
WW

@Adcrag to adjust the time as long as you keep it 12 hours of light or under in a 24 hour period you’ll be good.

I’d just do 8 on 16 off and then turn the lights back on to the schedule you want

@Adcrag you can scrog a gdp but they usually run short so you can’t flower anything else with it that will grow more than about 3 feet tall. You can start the autos if you want since they usually don’t get bigger than 3 feet either and put them through the trellis too as they go and when you finish the gdp you can just go to a 20/4 schedule to finish flowering the autos.

Sounds like a plan. I want to start 2 auto, not sure what yet.

Adcrag, that is kind backwards I think. If you have insomnia,you want couchlock. That is the sleepy,can’t get up off the couch side of harvesting. Let them stay longer

@Mrb53004 too much couch lock kinda affects me later - I get a headache.

Body heavy high & brain buzz is where I’m going. Gonna let her go few more weeks.

Thanks
