We had smoky haze like that Monday, and today it snowed and my outdoor girls are in the garage until Thursday. I was out grilling yesterday and the sun looked just like the pic.
The dispensary you went to sounds different then the one I go to. It has jars of bud and some of the other stuff, but flower is their main focus. They had a really good New Year special, $107 Oz after taxes.
I love it, I'm in the group of the easier the better too. I've got some outdoor girls that I spend about 5 mins a day watering and such. Not having to deal with anything else especially lights and heat makes it even easier.
I'm glad that we have accepted refugees from other states into CO so families don't get arrested for providing life saving medicine. I'm glad that other states are coming around, but it will still be a battle until it's de-scheduled by the federal gov.
I think the slow finishing may be due to the higher temps based on how my own flowers react to warmer temps. This may make them even better and or bigger too. You're growing monster flowers, I am thinking of getting a smaller watt of the same brand LED for my cab, they look like they work great...
I always wash my outdoor plants, they always get lots of bird crap and junk blown on them. Depends if the indoor had bugs or foliar spray if I wash. Most of my indoor grows have been clean, I haven't washed in awhile.
