Tutorial #1 - The Basics With Auto's

Episode 16 - Week 10 Flower Plant Life Care - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyH3kjD9Seg August 13th 2022 - Day 92 We are in strait flush now, Starting off week 10 with colder temps & drier RH starting tomorrow. Today was another flush day of pure PH'ed water 8 gallons in total. Half way through this week we will be adding ice to the substrate & watering with colder temps as close to in the 50's as possible. The ice on the top of the substrate will help us achieve anthocyanin production and draw out more medical value & bag appeal from our cultivars if they have the ability to produce them. Regardless it will shock the ladies & help squeeze out more potential cake & swell. ** ABOVE PHOTO OF SCALE ** This is the Cheese XXL that was cut down 5 days ago & hung in my dads closet, This closet is NOT a controlled environment and is at around 78F during the day, Swings down a bit colder to around 68-70F @ night. We have went from 16.8OZ to 5.7OZ in only 5 days. This represents much too rapid of a loss & the process happening much to quickly. This is why we want to control the dry nice and slow, 60F @ 60% humidity to allow the very critical processes that take place during this time, To happen properly uninterrupted. Once the dry is messed up and rushed it is very hard to hit the craft cannabis quality staple people will expect from a proper slow dry / cure. This plant is on track to hit high 3 ounces I would predict, The loss would also be less had this dry happened properly, Slowly & controlled. But this is a great example to show in this tutorial series before the rest of the crop comes down properly & dries in a controlled environment. We still are around half way there to the branches clean-snapping & the plant being ready for a dry trim. August 14th 2022 - Day 93 Today the temp & RH are set to 67F @ 35% which is what it is now for both lights on & lights off. I am unable to get the tent any cooler with just 1 SK on. I am going to order dimmer switches from the manufacturer in the future for sure. The fade is beginning on the plants from our flush already due to swapping to FEED/WATER/FEED in preparation of the flush and the removal of GROW in the latter stage of flower. August 15th 2022 - Day 94 Nothing doing today. The fade is continuing in the leafs as the flush clears out the plants & soil of any nutrients left behind. The Northern Lights & cheese XXL are rated at I believe 10-15% THC content, The wedding cheesecake & skunk are rated at 20+ % so it should be interesting to see if we can get close to those numbers. August 16th 2022 - Day 95 Today the first CHEESE XXL was dry completely & ready for trim. After break-down & trim we got 94G of super dank, Dense flower that is now bagged up & curing for the next 2 weeks. This was a big plant, But there are bigger in the tent. This is going to be a big harvest & every step of the way will be photographed, Recorded and verified. Breeder lists max yield from this strain indoors @ 70G per plant, We almost did an ounce over that maximum, So I would say this strain responds well to the F.I.M One important fact I will be highlighting during pull down & which you can all see in the videos. These 3 gallon bags, Are only half full. So that is 3.3 ounces dry in 1.5 gallons of soil mind you & this is not the biggest plant in the tent. Again this is all about highlighting how important it is to adhere to the fundamentals & base our methodology off of the plant's own genetic programing, Knowing how & when to step in and when to stand back, & knowing how and when to begin to manipulate the environment. Plant's where given a 8 gallon flush of cold water, Over ICE covering the top of each plant's substrate. PH 5.9 TEMP : 59F August 17th 2022 - Day 96 Not much going on today. I have noticed the nose of the tent get stronger down the final stretch now. I am feeling we will get 1 or 2 more flushes in before they come down in T-7 Days. August 18th 2022 - Day 97 Holding out 1 more day until tomorrow until their last big WATER. We will be loading the bags heavy in preparation for going dark & then the pull down. We want the plants nice and full of moisture before we pull them down to help pro-long the slow dry process. Episode 16 - Week 10 Flower Plant Life Care - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyH3kjD9Seg
