This is really the day when I am cutting the plants down. I don't want to fill out the harvest section until I have all the info needed to do it. I find the way it is set up on here to be kind of silly...
Today is day 95 since these girls popped and stuck their heads out of the soil. I'm blown away with the size of these plants considering their age.
I'm going to contribute the majority of this success to the CO2 gas I use. I filled out my tank 4 times for a total of 100 dollars .. the 4th tank I bought is still full and I'll be able to use it on my next grow.
These buds and colas are extremely dense and packed with resin. They are giving off a really deep and complex smell. Kind of like a fruity earth mixed with skunk.
I plan on drying at temperatures between 62 and 68 deg. fahrenheit with humidity about 55%. Once the smaller branches snap completely and the buds don't come off 'stringy' then I will move on to the next step of curing. For this I use Grove bags and boveda humidity packs (62% RH).
I'm expecting at least 8 oz off of each plant and I do intend to press some with my resin press
@Greendude, meh. I would still be smoking and growing even if it was still illegal 😂 JT could have been the greatest prime minister ever... Instead he puts off a vibe like he licks windows and eats crayons. Didn't know Legault opposed home grow
@Wrongholn519, Ya in reality, I don't really have nothing against Trudeau. Even, I gotta to thank him for legalizing... I'm more disappointed by Legault not allowing us to grow... but ehh, here I am growing anyway.
@Greendude, I picked black gold I think because grow diaries didn't have Quebec Black as an option and I wanted to find a registered strain with QCS to put the diary under.. black gold was the closest one
Interesting tip, thanks. I only experienced fungus gnats once years ago, and it was not fun. What soil has this problem if I may ask? Also why do you continue to use it? I'm a relatively beginner indoor grower, so I'm genuinely curious. Thanks :)
@@resimax, I use Promix organic and Promix HP... The organic stuff often can contain fungus gnats eggs.. it's very common in bagged 'soil'..Promix is just readily available and affordable. The diatomaceous earth eliminates the fungus gnats from being able to actually develop so it doesn't even bother me anymore.

Beautiful work my fellow Canadian. How big is your tank & how long does it last ? I had the same idea coming from the commercial side of things I had to figure out a better way than c02 bags but tried them for the sake of my tutorial series. Was going to advance to tanks for the next installment.
@LegacyMarketFarm, thanks man much appreciated. If you have IG you should add me and Ill do the same, I'm here to network and meet people who love to grow just as much as I do. After I bought my meter I started playing around with the store bought products to try and make them work. I had a TNB bottle and an exhale bag at the same time.. I even mounted a fan at the opening of the exhale bag to try and help spread the CO2 and that didn't work. I then tried making my own CO2 generators with sugar and yeast.. I had 4 of them in a series tighter and they didn't work either 🤣 I've been talking about my experiences ever since. Im not the kind of person to go around talking shit about companies / products but this one is a bust & I spent a lot of money on those TNB refills before I bought a meter. I even borrowed a friend's meter to confirm mine was accurate and I got the same results.
@Wrongholn519, That is great. I am from the commercial legacy scene using Infra red burners. Going to tents & doing these tutorial series I wanted to start off with the product most people use, Then use my own idea on how to improve utilizing tanks. It is good to see other people already thought of it first because it seemed like a no brainer. Thank you again my friend! & I will throw you a shout-out in my video that covers this at the end of this crop & talking about the c02 bag result & what we will be doing in the next series to improve (tanks)
@LegacyMarketFarm, hey sorry for the late reply here. So I have a lot of experience with testing CO2 products purchased specifically for growing and I can confidently say that The ONLY way to go is the gas.....
With that being said, to get an 800 PPM residual during veg I'll use about 0.75lb/day of CO2......
For flower I can get a1500 ppm residual using about 1.25 lb/day....
My 20 lb tank costs 25$ to refill (call around, some places will try and charge double that). And lasts anywhere from 2 weeks to a month.
It's cheaper than TNB products and 1000x more effective. I couldn't get a residual over 800 PPM with a TNB bottle after day 2 when I had my fans running 🗑️.. they test their product in sealed environments with no circulation in order to get the numbers they do. It should be addressed but everyone thinks TNB actually works.. me included until I brought home a CO2 meter. Exhale bags are even worse unfortunately.
Hope this helps. I've got tons of photos and stuff on Instagram related to CO2 @ waterboy_519
