12/18/21- Trying to complete Grow diary backwards from week 3 of Veg. Germination fairly typical 4 of 4 popped and appear to be off to a decent start
DIY BUILD
- I wish I could go into all the technical calculations and detailed planning........ but there was none. Really, I was fortunate, I had most of the materials around the house for the whole room build but I did purchase most of my plumbing. Tip #1 Be realistic about the cost. If you don't have stuff, it might get expensive. Take a gander at the pics and if you have any questions contact me direct or ask me here. I really did try to keep it simple with the idea that I might want to add two units. If you have the space, I do, you should consider having the reservoir on the outside of your tent/room. Mine also needs to be re-oriented in my room for better access to entire unit. Now when I used these containers+uniseal+2" PVC it really pushes the amount of air-gap between the net pot and the Nutrient solution as well as the (side intake) pump that I am using. NOTE: I think I will bite the bullet and used square containers next. I used Uniseals as my bulkheads, I don't know how, but they work perfect for me. Just in case, FLEX SHEILD paste is great is you have a small leak. The solid, mandolin type, were just too expensive. Tip #2 be as careful as possible when cutting holes, nice round holes with smooth edges. Caution... don't smooth edges too much, you will make the hole too big. I think that's about it. Now some materials:
I started Vegetation with 15 gal. This covered media and did not leave a gap. 12 gal will leave a gap between the pot and it will also cover the distribution pipe in each container. (Close shave)
-5 gal containers from Dollar General - I considered how ridged the top and sides were. (Hold pot/drill hole) and how much liquid it would hold. Did not consider gaps, elevations of pumps, and other details but I got lucky, and it worked. At least so far. Also, they already have perfect holes in the handles for the air lines.
-2" PVC. I used sweeps for all 90 deg turns.
-Garden hose for distribution from pump and sized up to 2" Also, sort of a 1/2 design to use inline pump and waterfall return to reservoir.
-Little Giant pump (25 yrs old) 170 gal per hr. Most said it was too small but again, seems to work... at least for now. I have purchased vivosun pump as backup and to use in reservoir changes.
-1 coat of flat black, final coat of chrome on all the containers. Oh, reservoir is and old garbage can I had.
-Piece of a horse stall mat as reservoir top.
-Left over reflective tape to cover green hose and light leaks. I kind of just put those pellets around pot to cover some of my light leaks.
-Tip #3 Wonderful tip, I wish I remember to give credit. But the black folder clips for LST to pots work great. If you hook to just the top you can even remove to inspect roots. They are also slide able.
As simple as it sounds that is basically it. I discovered, as I have with my grow, that there is no real right or wrong way. Whatever works for you. No mystery designs. I think that as long as it circulates water, keeps out light, and does not leak you are good to go! Again, I will try and answer any questions you might have (about this system).
Oh, I almost forgot. I used one of the ActiveAqua pumps. 8 outlet manifolds. Obviously, it left me with 3 extras if you count reservoir. So, I just dropped extra air stones in other containers. Tip #4 make sure your reservoir stone is not in front of your pump it effects flow. Buy coke can size stones, nothing with suction cups (in my opinion), these are heavy as heck and sit wherever you place them.
Tip #5 Have fun... take your time!
Tip #6 While I consider myself a fair outdoor gardener and a fair handy person however, all of this indoor stuff is new to me. So please consider the source. I am learning every day. I have and will make plenty of mistakes. You will also. But maybe you can learn from mine and have some fun.
So... I started my grow off on shaky ground... made every mistake you could make for someone that "knew everything" about growing. I was using a yoyo method for everything. Result garden suffered. Wrong Ph, Nut. levels, light levels, light percentages... you name it. Currently entering week three of veg. The garden recovered nicely. I fimmed one plant at 9", others in 2 more days. I have taken some of the huge fan leaves, cleaned ever so gently around bottoms of all 4. Branches are rocketing out on all 4 plants. Multiple bud sites developing. Beginning to see some lemon-yellow color to new growth tips on some plants. My diag. is light burn or Mag. def. reason: plants had been in same solution and nitrogen had decreased. I plan on scrogging at around 18" (plant only height) that will leave me 57" to work with having the light at 20" from ceiling. Should be plenty of room. My light is at 80%. and now 36"
Not a bunch going on in the garden. Just watching her grow. I did do my first nutrient change; I am not sure why I am apprehensive about this change but I am. Bumped up my nutrients to 850 ppm just base 3 and cal mag. Raised the lights. Still have them at 80%. FIMed 2 and I think I am going to leave back right plant to its own devices for a while seeing as she has been the shortest thickest and shortest internode locations. She has been real bushy. Other plants appear healthy to me. I have removed some very large fan leaves to expose some lower sites. I plan on scrogging (above my reservoir :( poor design) so I want to let the branches grow longer. I have not decided whether I will use LST clips, super cropping or just bend under a tight net. Probably just going to bend... this being my first time. For this week, I just plan on staying out of their way. Still curious about the lemon-yellow tips on the one plant.
01/29- Change nutrients, FIMed 2 plants, removed several large fan leaves and cleaned up around the bottom of the plants.
01/30- I just can't stand prosperity. I knew there was a reason I was nervous about the Nutrient change. Me, I'm a dumb ass. So, with change I bumped up nutes to 850. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb. Too much. Began noticing leaf claw in one plant. I sure the others will see it also. However, I completely changed the Nutrients again. PPM @ 760 which still may be too high. They should be used to it, ha ha. Also, checked Ph and it was high 6.7. Yesterday, I thought I had it dialed into 5.8. It was 6.7 this a.m. when I checked. (Maybe not mixing or like I said just dumb) So much for that! I am optimistic, the girls are established fairly well and should push and grow out of it. At least I hope so.
02/02- Levels in check. All is well. Graden is really loving it. Considering scrog. pH 5.8 ppm 750 water temp 70* added 2ml per gallon Hydroguard
02/04- LST and light Def. to open, shape and develop tops on all plants.
My garden seems healthy despite me. Guys I'm confused as to what I should do. Plans are to ScrOG at 18" (which I have never done) with a screen that is 3' x 4'. This screen would cover the entire container area plus about 4" over around the edges. Should ScrOG or just let grow?
That's going to be your own personal call.
SCROG will if done correctly create a even canopy with lots of mini colas and they should all ripen and finish at the same time.
If the screen is to big for the grow space just pin the extra bits to its self and tie it up nice and tight.
I'd start to top the plant a bit to get more sites to spread across the screen.
Best Of Luck
Girls gone wild! Well at least their happy. I am having fun in my garden. Fingers crossed it continues! After getting correct pH and ppm after Nutrient change the plants seem to be thriving. I began some low stress training by simply pulling the bottom branches down a bit, to open up plant, and in the direction I wanted. Added Hydroguard. Plants are drinking about .75 gal a day. I am topping nutrients off. I ran 1st batch for close to 3 weeks. I think I will change every one to two weeks.
So... I don't know if my comments should be past week or edit and comment as I go. (Just set diary up). I like the edit comment and post as I go. Any right or wrong way. I want to convey proper grow times.
If you have dropped by my diary, either by choice or accident, please be patient with me. I am learning. Not only with the indoor grow but with terminologies and this diary interface. I appreciate any unsolicited tips, hints or opinions even if critical. Just be patient and guide me.
THANKS! to those who helped me with my SCROG question. As you see I still have not committed. 👍
😀
2/6/22 THIS WEEKS PLANS- Decide if I want to SCROG or continue to develop canopy manually. I have built a cool trellis. Anyway, continue to defoliate as necessary. FIM to develop new tops. Hell... I may even SuperCrop (for the first time, YIKES) some meristems if I decide to SCROG. Install permanent hose for reservoir refill. Add additional fan. Raise lights.
Looking ahead: should I start or use preventative pest control? As I approach flower are their additives that I would like to consider? Or just turn them loose on what their eating.
I had a request to post some info on my DIY RWDC system. I will do so in the Germination module.
02/08-Day 52 Midweek- Nothing out of the ordinary. Growing at a nice rate. I am just going to let them grow until the weekend then some decisions.
02/08- It appears plants are starting to preflower.
02/08- Thanks to all for help with my yellow tip question. Jury is still out. Everything I know, I'm learning as I grow!
Lemon Yellow Tips. Genetics, right? I have 4 in RDWC others don't show. Doesn't seem to be a problem. Never browns or curls. She seems happy and has done it since early childhood. I am just curious, as to what is, for future grows? Also, it may turn into a problem later?
02/12-Day 54- Start week
-Plants continued to grow well and prosper last week. Try to keep my hands off as much as possible. Starting today with some defoliation and some LST. Also, with a nutrient change. Raised the ppm
slightly.
-I am most likely going to SuperCrop 2 plants to 18" or the height of the smallest 2 plants and SCROG. They have developed some nice sites because of LST so I still may just let them finish out naturally.
-I believe I will try and flower in about 10 days. Especially if I SuperCrop. They have started to pre-flower (I think?)
-First diary, I started late. It may be week 7 of veg. Find out how long (optimally) I can keep them in veg state?
-Preventive pest control? No signs yet and healthy plants.
*Nice DIY I am happy with. But I will no doubt use square, heavier mil. pails next grow. Peace out till next comment! Any advice or hints are always welcome!
02/12-Day 56
-Some Defoliation. Didn't want to but they had to go.
02/17-Day 59 MID-WEEK
-Check Super Cropping off my list of things to do for the first time. Hope to see some benefit beyond leveling out the canopy. Might as well put the SGROG netting over the top now although the branches
are like hickory limbs. I think they may be able to support the flowers. Hoping to develop a canopy at 18"- 24" with or without netting. Bottom sets of limbs need to get on it. 😳
START WEEK-Day 61-02/19/22
+ After catching my breath from HST the plants and my heart have recovered nicely.
+ I have decided not to SCROG this time. It would appear that this would be the perfect time for this method. However, being my first indoor and first cannabis grow, I would like to see how individual branches and canopy develop. Where bud sites appear? What small branches should be taken? Also, one plant has not been FIMmed, or topped. I would like to see how the meristem kola develops.
+ I will continue light LST and defoliation just to open up and let tops and bud sites develop.
+ LST and HST have been very successful in developing numerous tops (I guess they are numerous).
+ I bumped the nutrients up to 950. pH 5.9
> I am planning on starting flower stage in about 7-14 days. Should I FIM or top the top canopy branches to allow the bottom part of the canopy to catch up before I switch to flower?
MIDWEEK-Day 65-02/23/22
+ I'm not sure what the hell I'm doing or for that matter gonna do, but the girls are growing like crazy. I wish bottom sites would catch up. I was probably overly optimistic early on.
+ pH fairly steady at 5.8, ppm has been around 950, water temp 70
+ Installed a gravity feed top off reservoir. These girls are very thirsty and because of my design flaw, I have to top off frequently. This addition is outside room and make things easier.
+ Just letting them grow with light defoliation until I get ready to flower and then plan on a fairly good time a couple days before I flower.
+ I am going to install a "trellis net" not really to SCROG just support. I will however attempt to keep the canopy close to 18" until I flower, hopefully in about 10 days.
? What height to start lights at beginning of flower? What power/percentage?
? If my plants double in size, I will have 25" of distance from my lights. Is that enough to prevent light stress during this stage?
? Find out exactly what to do with Nutrient mix before/during?
START WK-Day 68-02/26/22
+ I think the girls have finally taken over! It is hard to keep up with growth.
+Added SCRoG/Trellis. Maybe get a little experience with both techniques. My branches on these plants are super strong. Don't think they needed the support or the SCRoG. It can't hurt, can it?
+ppm 950-1000
+RH and temp increasing in room. I think some due to microclimate caused by plants rapid growth but more to due to weather and unusually warm outside temps.
+Lights still at 80%
+Going to continue to defoliate (lightly). I would like to somehow allow lower branches to catch up. Lots of tops and bud sites.
+Most likely going to change to flower in the next week or so. (I think?)
+I believe these girls are about ready to run!
>Check on what percentage I should run the lights at and at what height to start flowering?
>Didn't want to, but I will be purchasing a carbon filter. Wife complaining. I have this room vented into a chimney that exits 2 stories up. Thought you would never smell outside. WRONG😷
MID-WEEK-Day 72-03/02/22
+Knock on wood, not much to do. The girls are healthy and showing it. One plant has not and does not like Nutrients. Very delicate but beginning to show out.,
+All levels are the same as start week
+Humidity 58%, Temp 75*
>I think I'm very close to flower
>Complete nutrient change right before light cycle change
>Are terpene and bloom boosters needed when I flower?
I am new to all indoor. Will these lower sites make it to the netting? Do most who use this technique just Veg until netting is even, switch to flower, defoliate to netting then let them stretch? Or do you LST the top portion until the lowermost branches reach the netting? 😳
This is up to you.
If it was my grow I would lollipop the lower branches and growth then weave the new stuff into the SCROG net then flip to flower.
It will stretch a bit from there depending on the stain and they all should have the same amount of energy on an even canopy from the grow light assuming its got a nice even PPFD output.
ideally you want 95% of the net fill with something.
Good Luck!
START WEEK-Day 76-03/06/22
+Last week saw some pretty fast growth things are actually coming together like I had planned. Now, good plan? Who knows? But my "last plan" was to SCRoG 2 plants and Trellis 2 plants. I wanted to see one plant "go all the way" with just light LST and the other was FIMmed once LST.
+2nd SuperCrop on the 2 large plants.
+Backing off Grow Nutrient slightly and will begin to increase Bloom Nutrient. I have said it before, but "I am just about ready to flower". I think?
+ppp @ 1000. Really higher than I want. They drink so much I will utilize the "Dilution is the Solution". Well not exactly like that. Anyway, I just want to lower as I go into flower. I don't even know why?
+Water Temp 73*. I am not thrilled about that. Hopefully Hydroguard will hedge my bet.
+Not Thrilled about the roots growing into Reservoir (design flaw) but not happy about attempting to trim either. I have a weak pump now. I guess Icould use my stronger one if it turns into a problem.
+Humidity creeping up at night by about 6 degrees on average. Early and hot Spring. No rain though.
+I will be attempting to lollipop (oh it's gonna hurt), allow several days for recovery and then change to a 12 on 12 off light schedule.
MID-WEEK Day-81-03/06/22
+Not a full lollipop should be complete to my liking today
+Light defoliation
+ ppm 950-100
+pH 5.8, H2O Temp-73
+Canopy on front two plants developed quickly and nicely. Back left plant has gotten huge although overshadowed by front. It has been FIMmed. Back right plant squatty but natural state.
+Cleanup today. Reservoir change and go 12/12 tomorrow. Lets see what happens? I hope they will remain healthy.
+Oh, removed roots from pump intake. Those things are overtaking everything!
START WEEK-Day 85-03/15/22
+I think that I have held these girls back long enough. Finally get to "flip" (talk about overused) to flower. I will journal later. Oh, o, I am going to roll with 36 dark before flower. Bro science? I have no idea. We will see. 👽
+Although not necessary wife made me get a filter. She can't stand the smell. Smeeeelllllll 😋😷💪it does and it is oh so wonderful. All ACInfinity stuff is the bomb. I guess I got lucky with my first purchase and I have never looked back. Quality stuff.
MID-WEEK-Day 88-03/18/22
+ Really no change at all in appearance, heads turning and growing up. No real "stretch" yet. It's all new to me, but I think the grow in going well. Reservoir change and raise ppm on Sunday. 36 hr. darkness done and nothing to compare it to. 😕
START WEEK
+I Guess this is what is called " the stretch"? Full Nutrient change. Increase ppm to 1000. Also...I couldn't resist. I added Terpinator to the diet. Again, I have nothing to compare to, so I won't know if it really works.
MID WEEK
+Just trying to stay out of the way. I want to touch. They do appear to be thriving. Leaving a bunch of tops, above the SCRoG, behind. They are getting covered up. Which prompts a ? How much do I defoliate above netting?
+ppm 1000
+intentionally keeping temps a little lower. 73 day, 67 night
+No real idea what to do in flower? Time for a Google search.
? If this grow is going good it is strictly by accident. Trust me.
? I think it's time to start germ for next run. I would like some variety, some color, Red Gorilla Girl I'm in love with. Who knows?
? Do I need to be adding other nutrients?
? I do have pink/purple stems. Confused. I am giving nutes as directed (I think) Pot, Phos gotta check
Hey buddy. I agree with you, u need to do some defol. It's not a optimal window to do defol in but you'll get away with it. Blindly no no. What you wanna do, is grab a node and do it node by node. Each bud site on the node will have around 3/4 sugar leafs/fan leafs. What you wanna do is go round it and take 1/3 -1/2 stick to more to the 1/3 of fan leafs. Focus mainly around the top and leave allall fan leafs sugar leafs that are at the end and aren't blocking any light. If it's not blocking any light then there is no reason for you to take it. Main reason to defol is to get light to reach the lowest ends of your canopy so there is no need nor call to defol leafs that aren't blocking out light or if you can get away with leaf tucking do so. If u want a more detailed or help in any way feel free to DM me. Good luck.
START WEEK 03/29/22
+Started with some Medium Defoliation this week. Sort of spooky. The girls don't enjoy being jacked around. However, they seemed to have recovered nicely. I'm relieved.
+Saw some real stretch the past week, beginning to form buds, pretty amazing and fun to watch the girls grow!
+I do realize my plants are different sizes because of experimentation. Not a good idea in practice but great learning. 2 plants have been ScrOG, topped, fimmed, supercrop, you name it. 1 plant just fimmed and 1 plant untouched. The results speak for themselves. 2 plants really wind up being trellised and natural. I hope I can make some decent and consistent buds to make "sort of" final comparison.
+bumped ppm to 1200
+beginning to smell VERY strong.
+I will do some leaf picking (not enough to consider defoliation) this week just to expose a few more sites. These plants have been extremely bushy and a challenge for a Newbie like me.
+Basically, I am just letting the plants do their thing.

THANKS FOR THE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTION LOTS OF HELP. BASICALLY, THE SAME CONCEPT. PROBABLY DIDN'T DO ENOUGH DEFOLIATION BUT IT GETS A BIT SCAREY (WHEN EVERYTHING DROOPS) AND I DO SORT OF SUBSCRIBE TO "LESS IS MORE" . May be incorrect but at least on this 1st grow it will probable be my practice.
THINKING OUT LOUD
?Should I? Can I? supplement red spectrum light? I have the ability just don't know if it is necessary. Also, might just be curious to see how my newly purchased light flowers. It's claims to be full spectrum?
?Do I need any additional boosters or additives? They appear to veg very well but I would like to make sure they get what they need to flower.
?Should I be popping seed for my next grow? Gotta get me a nice dedicated Veg light. Or maybe try autos?
START WEEK Day 88 04/03/22
+I think maybe the video is the best way to show my garden. Exposure is all crazy in tent.
+I have sort of been on cruise control. Just watching the girls grow. Actually beginning to see some trichomes appear as a silver haze ( hence Platinum OG) on some of the leaves. EXCITING!😬
+As they grow, the differences and techniques on each plant show up. One plant was slow from the start and is just beginning to flower. Partly because it has become eclipsed.
+I have been "leaf picking" thru last week and will continue this week. I can't seem to keep up with the vegetation. I am beginning to get the hang of it.
+I will do a complete Reservoir change this week.
+ppm at or just above 1000
+pH 5.9
+I think the one plant has almost stopped stretching
+light is 100% and 24" from main canopy. Some kolas are as close as 16". Although by my design, I can see the importance of having all plants similar size and even canopy.
THINKING OUT LOUD
?Do I remove the largest fan leaves?
?How large should the buds be now? They are about Quarter size.
?How far down and what grow should I remove?
?Thinking, down the road, about flush and nutrient schedule? Darkness before harvest?
ORDER MORE SEEDS
ANY COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS ALWAYS WELCOME
START WEEK 04/11/02
+It may be warming up outside but it's getting frosty in the grow room.
+Don't really know what else to do. Just water and watch
+ppm 1200 (should I start to reduce)?
+pH 5.9
+temp has cooled off just a degree or so. Humidity has lowered to a nice level. Actually, saw it as low as it has been since I started at 46% back in low 60's now.
THINKING OUT LOUD
? Lower ppm
? I have really struggled with defoliation on these plants. I probably need to take some more (lower buds) leaves and open up just a tiny bit. Hell, I just don't know.
? Leaf stripping?
+Order and start new seeds... What a conundrum. So many choices. Color/Fruity beans... stay focused.
Wow, if I were a nutrient company this is the time when I would hit the consumer with additives. Wait a minute! I think the genie is already out of the bottle. Jesus Christ at all the different crap. Oddly enough, I still wonder if I should be giving my girls anything extra.
I am very interested to watch the bud formation and the "sugar leaf" development. Everything is so precise and orderly. Will the bud nodes meet to form one larger conglomeration of bud? I don't know... we shall just have to stay tuned.
AS ALWAYS, I WELCOME ANY COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS, GOOD OR BAD. I AM HERE TO LEARN AND HAVE FUN. SO FAR SO GOOD!
This is very exciting! 😃
START WEEK 4/17/22
Not doing anything real crazy. Over time I seem to have removed most of the bigger fans. I am beginning to get an idea of how I want to defoliate what I want the canopy to look like. Having said that... these girls have been very hard to keep under control. I have definitely had some great OJT on my first grow and I still have a lot left to learn. All the plants are "icing up" real nicely, combined with the silver reflective walls everything looks and feels real CoooooooooooooL.🙏😱🙏
+I think the garden is doing well and overall is very healthy
+ppm 1200
+pH 5.9
+temp and humidity are all over the place according to the passing cold fronts. The other day temp was 79 F and Humidity was 74% Today it is 54 F and 58 %
*Ordering seeds today
*Looking at one of the close ups, I think my plant looks like the description of Platinum OG that I have read about and viewed... I must be doing something right. Hey, the Neon Carrot colors are super pretty.
*Oddly enough the smell is beginning to change... at least on the lemon tipped plant, from gas to fruity. Go figure.
? Out of Terpinator, might throw some Bud Candy at them. However, I may be getting close.
AS ALWAYS ANY COMMMENTS, GOOD OR BAD, OR ADVICE, ONLY GOOD :) ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.
START WEEEK Day 98 4/24/22
+With the exception of the cranky girl, the room is exploding with incredible sights and smells.
+Lowered ppm just a bit to 800. I guess? that I will decrease to nothing and get prepared for harvest
+Kolas are exploding with neon carrot pistols. Very Beautiful
+Smell is average, and increasing
+light is 12" away from tallest kola and up to 24 for the very shortest. I have 4" of lift left. Should I raise?
+It's summer in the South. Temp and Humidity vary greatly, daily. Days in 80's Nights upper 60's. Humidity anywhere from 58% to
+Each plant has developed at it's on rate so this week I will continue selective defoliation.
+Almost forgot. I am going to try some Epsom salt in an attempt to get the cranky girl to feel a little better.
THINKING OUT LOUD
?Cranky girl has been weird from day one. Maybe genetics might be me. I was rough on the girls to start with. She however, was always super green, slow to grow, squatty, huge fan leaves and now (according to growmies) now possibly has a magnesium deficiency. I am critical of myself but I am actually starting to lean toward genetics. Just a note. This was the only plant that I did 0 training to. Just defoliation (light). Nice that I had 3 others to give me backup.
?Need to take a look at some trimming tools on Amazon. Bare Essentials (right :))
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED WITH MY MOST RECENT GROW QUESTION. AS ALWAYS ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS, GOOD OR BAD ARE ALWAYS WELCOME😁
SO... GOING TO TRY 4 DIFFERENT STRAINS ON THIS NEXT RUN. BLACKBERRY MOONROCKS, BLUE COOKIES, BANANNA SHERBERT AND A RE-RUN OF A PLATINUM OG. MIGHT ALSO DO IN SOIL. WHO KNOWS? I will be germinating in just a couple of days.
Hi everyone. I am rdwc w/4 plants near end of flower. This plant has always been unhealthy. However this is a new twist. As I said rdwc, other girl are groovy, so it is what it is but my question is; what is it? Genetics?
a rare plant is pickier than others... not all formulas are as well-balanced as others... sometimes you simply cannot feed them all the same way, but i've done 7 strain runs before with no problems and rarely have to adjust much beyond how environment impacts rate of uptake in roots. I figure 90% or more of the plants i've grown were fine with my standard mix, so a well balanced feed can work on most plants. (120-some plants? still a small sample)
if it looked retarded fro get-go (ignoring early blemishes on first few nodes), figure it's something wrong with how it metabolizes things... those plants typically never get right. One of my NL was wrinkly and never quite right, but it was fucked up from sprout.. easy to say genetics there. plant diabetes or something, lol...
late in flower you also have senescence... so, on top of what has been going wrong, it goes down hill more easily at this stage... less of a push needed, so to speak. Really see the quality of your feed late in bloom. if it falls apart quickly/easily. that's the mix.
so many relativistic factors at play.. track what info you can, if you want to eliminate least likely possibilities.. otherwise, it's just stabbing in the dark unless lucky to run into a homerun.
I'm going crazy. These babies are delicious looking. I'm ready, been buying fucked up weed for 40 yrs. What was i thinking? I think I've lost the battle with the girls. But in a damn good way. Guys?::: I'm just letting them grow. I have no idea?
These girls have finished. Each one very different. One actually smells just like bubble gum. Other 3 like pine sol. Fox tailing on all (except the gorgeous one with mega orange), Including clones in soil, in natural light, in other building. As much as I would like to take the blame... maybe just genetics? My plans are to flush completely for 2 days along with 48 hrs darkness and these ladies will be chopped. Now back to YouTube for some harvesting tips. Oh, very exciting.... beginning to see some purple in all plants not much but some.
Chopped and hanging. I am cutting some and separating and then hanging one bush whole. I am sort of experimenting, so I get the best out of my drying area. Smells wonderful. Let the work begin.
