Seeking Weezard and other equator growers.

Well 'Wonder, you better start growing some poppies right away, you are going to need to make some opium for the water cure. Thai sticks are not just good weed but requires a great dry and opium water cure.

That's what the Thai's used/use to produce that great taste and smooth smoke (unless you take way too big of hit's off the bong).

Well, won't go that route, no matter how much I wish it to be perfect. I do remember being able to choose if it was opium cured or was not....I never went for the opium cured, was afraid of getting addicted and I was just a kid then. Didn't know squat.

Wow, a couple minutes a day. Impossible on today's timers. Best I can get here is 15 minute increment timers that will handle the lighting load.

Anyone got advice on a timer that will handle 15 amps and be that adjustable?

Weez, well what the heck, you got the idea going.

I did?!
Rutro!
I think my mind is going, Dave.
I can feel it.

I'm, I'm,....
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do.
I'm half crazy...

OR, do you think 15 min increments once a week will cut the mustard or grow the bud?

Seriously, I'm loathe to offer advice that is not based on my personal knowledge.
I'm only "wise" if you ask the right questions.

Nevah grew landrace Thai, myself and I've only lived Hawaii fo' 6 or 7 years.
I'm a relative newbie and must defer to experience.
Trust me, you are in good hands here with O.H.:thumbsup:

Aloha,

Weezard

Disclaimer... I have never grown a plant indoors start to finish.

Anytime I see indoor growing, I say nothing, because I know nothing. There are many far more experienced growers here.

The only reason I answered was I saw the question sit for awhile. And I am familiar with those strains. All grown outdoors.

My answer to your question was based on daylight times here, and how each day in late September we get about 2 minutes less light each day. Give or take.

All that said, if your timer gives you 15 minute intervals, start with 12/12 and take 15 minutes off every week....better yet every 8 days.

Will it work?...honestly...the hell if I know.

If I had to bet, I think it would.

AH....I do appreciate your candid and honest approach. I am not well versed in outdoor or hydo and usually keep my fingers shut in those areas or advise someone who does know, we have a pretty well balanced bunch of growers here, with many different specialties.....SO no worries...Okay?

I still have the issue of getting from 18/6 to 13/11, which is the light schedule for the lat and long of the native area on June 21......One big jump or ease things with the 15 minute changes weekly? My gut feeling is do the slow change from the very beginning......what do you folks think?

Still have to make the grow area, I have a mess of stuff that needs to be stored elsewhere and re-arranging to get done, and with my physical defects it takes a while to do that kind of stuff. I can do a temp with that heavy black/white plastic, but I really am in no rush.
