Week 13 D91 She got her last high dose of feed last night that will do her for the week. Not overall with how she has turned out. Buds are not compact and dense, this is down to my knowledge at the time of growing and thinking just cause she looked healthy I was doing everything right, I was but just not in a way that took full advantage of. I didn't know about increasing P-K and I started her on bloom to early I should have waited till I seen stigma and hit her hard with P-K and micro nutes to get nice dense buds, also I kept the temp fairly regular with her she would have liked a nice drop in temp by 10c but at the moment I haven't the gear to bring the temp into the 29-30 range so I can lower it into the 19-20c range. My next grows I will for sure Have it dialed in and know what I'm doing for sure.
Also would have been nice to have this new smart fan so I could control the temp better and understand the RH in my tent. At the moment it's in the 55-60% in the tent and 48-50% in the room. I'm going to install the normal 4inch intake fan at the bottom of the tent and have it suck out 80% of the 100% air been blown in from the top, by doing this I'll create air circulation aswel as hopefully making the RH in the room be the same in the tent.
Will start feeding her water this week with maybe a bit of cal to help break down this wks feed and then throw her into a flush. I have sensi cal mag extra or I might just use a small dose of big bud organic which has cal in it, I'll see.
19/3/22 As you can see I have the RH as best as I can get in my grow room, I've installed the smart fan and inserted the sensor giving me 57%RH/75f in the tent with the light off, it's rather hot today, much hotter than normal, it's normally 21c in my room it's 24.5 today. RH is at 50% in room, hopefully by installing my old intake fan in the lowest part of my tent and suck out 80% While 100% gets blown in on top will bring the tents RH to the same as the room, that's the hope anyways. But 57%RH is still okay, not optimal but not too bad neither
20/3/22 Decided to keep her organic, I'm not going to add sensi cal mag, and big bud organic has too many other nutes in it. Will continue on with just water for a few weeks.
21/3/22 So, I tried out my new method. Of having my smart intake fan suck in 50RH and a bottom intake fan at the end sucking out older air at a lesser speed had it running for 8hrs, no change in humidity whatsoever just dropped the temp by 1.5c. I think the fact I have a 70x70 with so many plants has set the RH and thankfully it's not what it was which was touching on 80rh at some days. A bigger tent and I'll really be able to dial in my grows now I have all the tools to control RH/TEMP from S/H. For now 57%RH when it's low and 62% when the lights are on for a few hours. Stays around 57-60% atm for around 85% of the time. Temp is constant and doesn't change without my control within a range of 4-6c change difference, this number I have no problem in changing and I'll be making my tent a lot cooler after this wk ends. I'll be keeping her at 18c with lights off and 28 with lights on. As for this plant, she is still very larfy looking, dunno if it was the supersoil as I'm not sure it's meant for that, as both plants have turned out a little larfy, but the bud, man the quality is top notch, the smell is unreal and so sticky it should be called CBD GLUE.
23/3/22 Decided to do a hard flush on this plant also, I needed to see where she is at in nutes in soil. This supersoil shit lasts too long. I'm thinking would scraping the topsoil/humus off help, ppm reading from run-off from 1l got 300ml back and was fairly high 1560, PH was 5.9 as always in the soil. Am going to let her dry out for 2-3 days then feed water 5-700ml whatever she can hold without giving back run-off and in a weeks time I'll do another hard flush and see where we are at.
Thanks for reading, drop a like so I know u dropped by so I can do the same.

Those photos in the dark, They are starting to cake up fairly nicely. I think as long as you do the dry / cure right even if they are not the densest buds you should still have some great smoke. Having managed large grows & been around big bags I prefer smalls myself. One of our buyers that pre-ordered most of the crop from the big facility I managed, Literally would break down a pound bag and somehow steam out the moisture from all the stems & weigh the stem before and after and bitch at us if there was any major weight accounted for by this. At the highest level, people are incredibly neurotic almost to a fault. up to 100lbs was 1750 per pound so I guess they have good cause to be. I always found regardless in bulk purchases the stem loss from large quads was not worth it. I prefer bags of smalls that literally have 0 stem weight to them you get much more in the end you would be surprised. In this market high volume sales trump high per cost sales, You can do better offering ounces of premium smalls at 50-60 a bag. People pay a premium for big buds when really all they are, Are smalls connected to a stem that you can't smoke. If the weed is good its generally good all the way through & when you hand trim high-end product you trim it TIGHT there can be no gap in the buds or you break it down. Generally, only the tops are held as big structure buds or tops off your side branches which all get packaged up into quad packs.
@gottagrowsometime, I did not make it on purpose! It was a bag seed we got from a bag of nuken buds. the plant through out 3 seeds though I will gladly gift you them as nobody else has shown interest in it yet and I still have 1 more original seed that came from the bud like its twin that I germinated. DM me friend! It finished incredibly fast around 7 weeks tops and did not resemble nuken at all in aroma or flavor.
@LegacyMarketFarm, ah well if you are buying a 100lb then yeah I'd say your at least getting 1-3lb of stem right? Great you have some1 who can take all that. Oh btw I seen this was your own seed you made for part of the grow. I seen it on a comment you wrote. What is the seed like can you DM me what it is, I'd be interested in making a small order in a few wks. Know it's nothing compared to what you sell and might be more of a burden. But I'd love to try or even hear about it.
These do not look bad AT ALL man good work. Once they begin to finish their vertical growth completely remember to start opening up your temp gaps between lights on and off to beyond 10 degrees less lights off and a little more each week until harvest. Keep it up man I know you can do this one!
@gottagrowsometime, Our pleasure π we are always happy to hear this!!! We'll definitely enjoy watching you grow!! Looking forward to watching your progress! πͺ
@Fast_Buds, Thanks for dropping by fast_buds. I love your plants. Not once have I had issues with 'em they grow and germinate to perfection. My go 2 breeder from now on. Strawnana is my next grow. Thanks for taking we time.
@Fast_Buds, Hey, I'm really impressed by your seeds. The genetics are solid, and are very resistant to toxs and so on. Pleasure to grow. Have 3 dif FB strains, 1 of them GZA the new strain. Can't wait to get the whole 3 dif strains up and running. Thanks for dropping by and excellect CService.
