Hi Ladies!
What a great group. I'm new to growing, and have my first plants in veg now. They are growing inside ghetto style under fluoros at night, and outside during the day under the sun. They look great so far, and several have already preflowered with pistils.
I live in the Mojave Desert, and it's way too hot during the summer to grow outside. Thus, my experiment with indoor-outdoor growing.
I'm an old disabled boomer, use a powerchair for legs, and marijuana helps tremendously with pain and aids in sleep. Unfortunately, pot here is now way over my disability income budget--at nearly a grand for an ounce of bagweed. I have been buying an eighth at a time, and trying to use it as sparingly and carefully as possible.
I decided to try a grow with hopes that I might be able to get a crop to harvest. Even though it's a ghetto grow, and I know I won't get the biggest buds with fluoros, it's what I CAN do now, and any little bit I do end up with is going to help immensely.
I've really enjoyed reading the threads here and getting to know everyone!
I'm a retired service dog trainer and calligrapher. This grow has become my full-time job. How fascinating to look at them under the microscope!
I'm growing organically, and have my 21 plants in gallon containers, and move them indoors and outdoors in garden carts. I plan to transplant them each into 3 gallon pots before taking them indoors to induce flowering.
Wondered if any of you gals here have ever done an indoor-outdoor grow such as this? And if so, was it successful--even remotely so?
I'll be thrilled to even get an ounce out of all of them--it will still be nearly a thousand dollar savings, and perhaps, I'm a bit afraid to even hope for more than a single ounce! Don't want to get too greedy in my thinking.
I sure welcome any responses and ideas, suggestions--this being my first grow, I'm like every other newbie out there panicked each time a leaf droops or a fan leaf turns yellow. I spend at least an hour every evening checking each plant for bugs before bringing them inside under the fluoros.
i'm like the little train chugging up the hill, "I think I can, I think I can..."
Thanks in advance for any encouragment and suggestions! This is my lifeline to sanity by pain reduction and a couple hours of precious sleep.
