Edit: I came home from work after making my weekly log entry yesterday and I could smell my grow from my driveway... so I asked for help. THANK YOU OOZLEFINCH FOR THE HELP.. THIS IS WHY WE ASK FOR HELP...
I left a question on here stating that my new canister wasn't working and asked for generic advise. He left an answer that pointed out the fact that my exhaust fan might be set waaaay to high... and it was! It turns out there's a limit to the amount of air that filter fan 'scrub', and my exhaust fan goes way over that limit even on 6 or 7.. I turned it down to 3 and the smell got better immediately. โฎ๏ธ
Still on auto pilot at this point... I'm really close to harvest.. and I'm not even on day 60 ๐ฒ. I created videos this weeks, they capture the plants in ways that a still picture just won't.
My entire house stinks.. my neighbors are looking at my funny, and my wife thinks a family of skunks is hiding in our walls... I've never had this problem.. I even got a brand new carbon air scrubber and its not helping ๐คฃ
Process/ Environment changes since last week:
- To help preserve the terpenes I've been trying to lower my temperature, which is hard without an AC unit I'm not plugging in an ac just to grow some plants. I'm at 24- 26 degrees C (75 - 82 F).
- I've been lowering my humidity accordingly to keep VPD in a good range
- I lowered my lights closer to my plants, turning them up would just add to the heat.
- I'm defoliating as much large fan leaves off as possible
- My watering pH is at around 6.7 to 6.8.. I will not be flushing these plants
- I rotate my plants every day to make sure I'm getting light to hit every node it can
This week I'm pulling out the digital scope and doing the first trichome checks for these babies. The cheese auto is going to get the chop by the end of next week.. I hope you like the video I added of it.. it's the easiest plant I've ever grown and she's going to be FIRE.
The blackberry auto is giving off a gas/berry smell and is very sticky to the touch. A beautiful triploid... my first and I hope to get many more.
The Forbidden Runtz smells just like a zkittles does, it's bang on. Very dense very sticky buds. I almost tossed her during the seedling stage too due to her mutation. I'm glad I reconsidered โฎ๏ธ
Thank you Fastbuds
it looks like you use the standard china usb microscope with your (win) computer. If you have one or know someone with a 3d printer, print this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2525155 ๐ with a stable stand the trichone shots will be much better! ๐
really beautiful purpled bud! ๐
@KAPT_SAVE_Da_HOE, awesome you'll have a great time and good luck.
If I were to give any advise it would be.... follow a VPD chart and make sure your temps and humidity are in check.. everything else will be easy if you can manage that.
Nice looking buds coming on and diaryโs you are running. Iโve got a triploid gorilla skittlez going at the moment that is getting huge . Good luck with the rest of your grow , hopefully you bounce back from the covids
@Wrongholn519, same here , Iโve never had a triploid before and I was concerned it was going to be a pain but she just wants to be a big girl . Thanks man
@Rangaku, thanks much appreciated. It's my first triploid, kinda cool to watch grow.. wish she was a bit bigger though. I just checked out yours.. looks hefty and healthy๐
@SeedsNStems, I hope it grows well. I've never had a 'tri' seedling like this and I'm concerned it's not growing fast enough ๐ฎโ๐จ๐. It's a great looking plant I recommend it to anyone that wants colour in their garden
Really nice photos, thank you for sharing this diary :)
We hope that growing our genetics was a nice experience for you and that you enjoy the harvest!
