Skywalker and Glue Autos

May 2, 2023 Day 96 Skywalker dried, trimmed and jarred. 60.5 grams. Not too bad. Could be better. Will be better next time. Wedding Glue is in the final week of her life. She got her first flush with Flawless Finish. Let's hope it brings out some nice colors. The focus this week will be defoliation, 48 hour dark tent and overall end of life stuff. Clean up and ready myself to start another grow. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 54.7% VPD: 1.25 kPa May 3, 2023 Skywalker OG Day 1 Curing Wedding Glue Second day of flushing and she already needed it again. Very interesting. Anyway, I started with a half gallon this morning and I'll check this afternoon to see if she needs the other half. Looking great though! Lots of trichomes lost of sticky and lots of bud. I was looking her over as well and noticed that these buds are seriously airy. I'm starting to think it's because of the overwhelming foliage. The same thing happened with the last super leafy plant I had. I'm guessing I should have defoliated way more than I did. I think I need to do a massive defoliation sometime this week before harvest. Maybe in 2 days. Other than that, coloring is still fantastic. She does have some tip burn, but that showed up during the flowering transition and stopped. Grow System Environment: Temp: 71.8° RH: 55.6% VPD: 1.16 kPa May the 4th Be With You Skywalker OG Day 2 Curing Wedding Glue She looks amazing with the exception of the bud formation. On the outside she looks like a huge yield, but the girth is ALL leaf. There's going to be a ton of larf. Too bad I don't have a press. Someday. Leaves are looking great, pistils are almost there and a couple trichomes just started turning amber. She will most likely need another watering tomorrow. I will be asking the question of what do I do with such a leafy plant? Major defoliation right before 48 hours of dark? Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 56% VPD: 1.18 kPa May 5, 2023 Skywalker OG Day 3 Curing Wedding Glue Looks great! I'm going to leave her alone for the rest of the week. She's starting to get some amber trichomes, but there are still too many clear ones for my liking. No leaf fade yet, but I'm expecting that any day now. Water retention is kind of weird. She won't stay above 45% moisture level. I don't know what that means. Maybe it's the amount of water the soil can hold. Good to know? Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 55% VPD: 1.33 kPa May 6, 2023 Skywalker OG Day 4 Curing Wedding Glue She looks great! Amber trichomes are starting to develop. I'm not sure if the Flawless finish is working as I'm in soil. But we shall see. The leaves are starting to get a nice purple tint to them. She finished bulking up so it's just a matter of those trichomes ripening. She got another full gallon up top today as well. With the flawless finish. I believe this will be the last watering she gets. She has just a few days left and I want her a bit dry in the dark tent. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.9° RH: 54.6% VPD: 1.28 kPa May 7, 2023 Skywalker OG Day 5 Curing Wedding Glue I feel like a complete moron. So I figured out the words I needed to express. She is overcrowded with foliage. So as the ultimate fool I am, I never tried to pull the branches out a bit to open the lower canopy. Well, today I was pulling the branches back and noticed they still have a little bit of give. So I decided to tie all the branches down just enough to expose the lower canopy. I should have done this weeks ago. Anyway, I might give her a couple more days in the light to see if I can at least salvage some of the lower popcorn and larf. She's fine with her water. About 39% moisture and kinda hanging out there. I'm not seen any fade though. Weird. She also doesn't have enough amber trichomes yet. There's also a few more clear trichomes for my liking. So maybe 5 days instead of 3? Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 54.4% VPD: 1.31 kPa May 8, 2023 Skywalker OG Day 6 Curing Wedding Glue She's almost there. Just another few days. Colas are beautiful. She has around 70% orange pistils and more trichomes are turning cloudy with a few more turning amber. She's around 30% soil moisture. I may have to add another feeding of flawless finish today, just to make sure I get the extra couple of days of maturing. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75° RH: 57.4% VPD: 1.25 kPa
