so, i have 9 outdoor plants, including two space queen seedlings from april, that have been flowering since june 21st, and two space queen clones which have been vegetating since june 21st — which is a little too long, but i only realised that yesterday… 😐

so, i put the new nursery into full effect today: i moved the light-proof booth out of the nursery, put the two clones under flowering lights, and (at the same time) created four NEW clones, which are now in the light-proof booth, under vegetative lights.

and, since the weather-guessers were significantly WRONG yesterday (they guessed that there wouldn’t be any precipitation at all, in reality, there was a thunder-storm that lasted most of the night), i also moved four outdoor plants (which were complaining about the rain) into the nursery, so now i have two DIFFERENT crops under flowering lights. fortunately, the light-cycle for flowering is the same for everyone: 12 hours of light, and 12 hours of complete darkness.

the schedule for flowering is a little different for indoor plants compared to outdoor plants: exclusively outdoor plants take about 6 months from seedling to harvest, whereas exclusively indoor plants take 4 to 5 months… which means that there is, by necessity, going to be some wrangling and confusion while i move from outdoor growing to indoor growing. but, as i mentioned to moe, yesterday, the difference will be doing more work on the outdoor plants, for a relatively short period of time, followed by doing no work at all for half the year, whereas indoor plants take less work, but it’s stretched out throughout the year, producing more consistent crops, more regularly.

this is to help me remember what the schedule is, more than anything else. the reason why i let the two clones go as long as i did was because i wasn’t sure how long they should be under vegetative lights. hopefully i’ll do better the next time around. 😉
