ILGM Jack Herer Auto

Eagle680 Topped her, chopped her, mainline started. This will be my first mainline, but experimented with previous grow to get experience.

Eagle680 Topped above 3rd node, starting to train for manifold gently. I'm following the step-by-step instructions at cocoforcannabis.com/how-to-manifold-cannabis-plants/. This is the best set of precise instructions I've found and feel comfortable with. Let's see if we can get TWO ounces :-)

Eagle680 Having fun building my first manifold. Eight colas now growing and developing in circular pattern, looking great with even canopy.

Eagle680 Coming along nicely.

Eagle680 Starting to stretch up. The trichomes are plentiful and many are cloudy.

Eagle680 These Jack Herer buds are a thing of beauty, fat and juicy. I wasn't giving her nutes for a few weeks, and she developed some copper leaving, but we're back on-track now with about 1/2 tsp/gal of Miracle Gro liquid. Just waiting for my other plant to harvest, so that this one can have all of the light to itself.

Eagle680 Colas starting to stretch up, they're each about 4-5 inches tall now. They are the fattest and densest buds I've ever seen. I messed-up the light timer for about a week, and stressed them out causing a lot of fox tailing. I think this will have minimum effect on the yield and quality, but really looks like crap. Learned lesson about making sure light is consistent. Also thinking on next grow I might just do 18/6 instead of 20/4, probably doesn't matter much, as long as it's consistent through flowering to harvest I think.

Eagle680 Still fox tailing a lot. I see now why it's important to dial-in the lighting schedules, distances,, and intensities. Otherwise everything is looking good...

Eagle680 Had a bud rot attack between two of my colas that were growing close together. Too-much moisture in the tent. Got a damp-rid bag, will keep humidity under 50%. Cut out the rot, hopefully no more on other colas. Learned valuable lesson about keeping the tent humidity stable.

Eagle680 Back on track, looking good.
