Stems just started to snap right at day 14 of drying despite a few minor fluctuations from 60/60 into the high 60's F and high 50% high 60%.
Adding both plants ended up with about 4.5 oz of trimmed top colas,2 oz of untrimmed popcorn buds/larf, and another 2 oz of trimmed popcorn buds. And didn't weigh it but around 2 grams of kief.
Very strong head rush from a smaller than normal bong pack that mellowed out to a nice body high. Burns to light gray white ash. Very smooth, and not harsh at all like stuff Ive been smoking recently. Relaxing effects. Seems pretty well balanced for being an indica leaning hybrid.Its not like it put me right to sleep although the initial head rush made me need to recover for a second. I think I should have let them go maybe 1 week longer. The buds were not as dense as i would have hoped but they they made up with it in frost. After jaring up the buds the plant farthest away from humidifier and next to door dried out a little too much is reading low 50's. Added a leaf of my Durban I have growing to the 4 jars of Galaxy #2 that dried a little to much.As well as a humidity pack I had from the dispensary. I have this one out to smoke first. Luckily the keeper #1 jars are all sitting between 59-62% and have a feeling I will not need to burp them much. All the smells that went away after the 4th day of drying came right back when trimming, and the number 1 jar colas smell amazing. Got a few flashbacks from when I worked in Humboldt/Trinity just from smelling the trim and stems. Used to be the only thing I had to star My wood-stove with all the wet wood. I can tell the buds ate going to need a little curing for full effects/flavor. As far as smell goes very pungent, funky fuel with some skunk and some sweetness almost fruity. Not minty at all from what the description says, at least these pheno types. I think somthing may have freaked up #2 plant as some of the lower buds were just like the number #1 plant but the top colas knuckled out and got flat on top with all the hairs. Wondering if the fact that it self topped itself made for a weaker plant even though it yielded slightly more than number #1

Nutrients
Very well balanced mix of nutrients. Clean inputs and power bloom didn't reek like some organic fertilizer
Glacial Rock Dust
Granulated Power Bloom
Always had good luck using their organic products. Mixed pallets of their soil in the past amazing smell on the ocean forrest. Wish it were an little cheaper or else I would add some to my mix. A soil I loved just to smell
Very high quality. Especially love the neem seed meal! Think Im going to go for an alternative to the bad guano after I finish this stuff up, as there are many other substitutes and ones that may even be better
Used this stuff in my regular garden for years for pepper and other starters and always does good
Wish I would have steered away from this one with all the other high quality inputs in my soil. Will stick to fish bone meal. I don't think it did any harm per say but theirs better products out there
If I had to do just one nutrient input it would be Boogie brew. A little goes a long way and you can see a difference in plants health within hours. My plants quadrupled their size in two weeks before stretch after first application.
Good price and stuff seems very clean and sourced properly
Lights
Only used it up until flowering but is a very good light. Maybe gets a little hotter than i would want during a summer from but for winter it may actually be perfect
Very impressed by this light. I was never able to run it at full power only about 75%. Covers my 3x3 perfectly. Is a little bight in the very center like 2000 par at 12"
Tents
The tent is quality is very good. No big light leaks or a anything like that like with my ipower tent i got for drying. The zipper does like to get stuck sometimes, but i think thats mainly from rushing. The overall design of these grow tents across all brands leaves things to be desired. Like cross members to attach scrog screen. Instead of having to buy a separate kit with cross bars for $40 that only holds a few pounds. They need to start adding at least one layer of horizontal cross members to tie a scrog net and to help agains the tent sucking in on itself so much as swell
Overall this was good strain to grow and I would try it again on maybe an outdoor grow to see how big it gets. The bud structure could have been a little better and it wanted to bush out alot so maybe not the best for scrog. Seems like its a bit of a heavy feeder too and I may have went a little light on nutrients. It wasn't as dense as i thought is was going to be but that was most likely from my environment.
Smoke review
After two months of curing and smoking most of the nicest buds I feel like I can speak for the grow better. Jars are holding perfect humidity levels staying right at 60 percent the entire time. The buds smoked their best about 1 month into cure and are still smoking great. The first pheno is a mix of sweet/fruity (apply caramel)at first but then kind of a almost skunky b/o diesel punch an overall tasty bud with no particular terpine that stands out. Kind of unique. It's just very funky and resinous and produced lots of kief, Classic Hash like smoke. I'm glad a saved a mom because I will be running this again. For an indica it is not incredible sedative unless your tired to begin with. Pretty uplifting high, and not bad for creativity. The second pheno seems like it needed a little more time. Overall it was slightly less frosty and had lots more pistils. I smoked a jar of it first while the better stuff cured and it was enjoyable. More earthy organic taste and less potent than the other plants top colas but very dense nice buds that smoked very smooth. Surprisingly un-harsh and no green taste. Did not make me cough or burn my throat.
Infused my trim (2oz) into a jar of some coconut oil and it was not bad. My brother said it got him so stoned he was still stoned the next day.I told him to take a a small spoonful, who knows how much he ate. I put it in my coffee in the morning and in my soup when i was sick. I have a high metabolism. I can eat a lot more edibles than most people and it doesn't affect me as much for some reason, compared to other people.
Also Bought a rosin press and smashed some into some pretty high quality oil. I didn't get the best yield but i think that has to do with me being a novice rosin extractor. When i trimmed the buds with my handy trimming trays that have 150 screen built into the trays I collected a few grams of kief. I wound expect in the right hands this strain would be great for making rosin.

Kosyjuana1started grow question 8 months ago
Is it okay for my nighttime humidity levels to be above 60 percent during flower? My tent is trying to keep it within the threshold I have it set right now which is 52%-57%. My ac 6 inch cloudline and fan are running on 10 trying to get the humidity down, and is failing

No es para preocuparse su nivel de humedad. PreocΓΊpese si la temperatura aumenta. La combinaciΓ³n temperatura y humedad alta pueden traer problemas. Si no puede bajar la humedad mantenga baja la temperatura y puede aplicar defoliacion para mayor circulaciΓ³n de aire.

What do you think is causing this burn on my leaves? It seems to be quite common. and maybe nothing to worry about if it's this minute. but I would prefer to not burn my plants at all if possible. Could it be a sign of underwatering? Light distance? i have a dimmer keepin at 1000

Las puntas amarilla puedo decir que es por ph. Si es posible mida el ph del drenaje si los valores dan entre 6.2 y 6.8 esta en lo correcto. De lo contrario riego con agua con un ph de 6. Si piensa que es falta de agua solo riegue lentamente hasta que obtenga un poco de drenaje. Creo que no es por exceso de riego sino como le mencione es por ph alcalino.

Can anyone tell me what these are and if I should be worried about them? I thought they were aphids at first but now I'm starting to have second thoughts they seem a bit too small to be aphids and the lady buds. I'm thinking they might be Neoseiulus fallacies

I counted 8 legs, I'd say its a mite of some sort, what one is the question, I do not think this is a spidermite, off coloration and its not on the plant but in the soil and that plastic nub. Might just be a basic soil mite and none problematic. The ones that infest plants and kill them tend to be on the leaves and make webs when population gets to high.
If your concerned then I agree with Steves response in using something with pyrethrine
I also agree with Ezzjaybruhs conclusion they are not aphids. Aphids they not to be that small and not that mobile, again they like the leaves and stems.
There is something called root aphids but this is not that either.
You have a few other questionable pics in the diary of egg like things on leaves. I think you should douse the medium with something to help control the population even though it won't wipe it out fully. Also pluck off some of the leaves with said eggs and place it in a jar with a lid to see what hatches out of them. you can give your plant a shower and use water to blast off off of the fuckers, but give it a good shake down and dry off to avoid moulds from growing in the buds as High Humidity is the devil in flower.
Good Luck!

@BudBoutique, Thanks, dude! I smoked a few nugs. Very smooth, and does not make me want to cough, and no bite at all. They don't taste as much as they are smelling right now but hoping that curing will help them out a little bit. I don't taste any grassyness or anything like that which is awesome, but the terps are not really shining yet. Also have been smoking the kind of lowers that were straggling around while trimming today, I haven't grinded up a main cola yet. It burned to a nice white ash. And got me really stoned, I had to lay my head down for a minute. lol π

Hey man the Yuxian is $75 for a 4x4 it comes with the high airflow side bars.
The system isn't the best for holding up weight but it's perfect for holding the sides from sucking in, which is what it's for anyways.
Ps
I had to take green training wire that we use to LST plants, I took that green wire and wrapped it around each corner pole as tight as I could. This gave the side bars something to set on so they wouldn't slide down. If that makes sense.
But for $75 its a great tent, has all the features my ac infinity does, it truly build just as good and even includes the side bars and a hanging pocket to hold notebooks and working tools in or outside the tent.
For the money you can't beat it. I bought it just to have a dry tent, but since seeing its robust construction I said fuck it and now I run both tents.. 5 plants in each! Wish me luck!

@DoughHead, Nice man. I'll have to check that out.I see what you are saying now. I'm def going to get one of those for my next tent.I could get a metal clamp that tightens on below each corner and that should be strong enough for a net I think. I just used some think nylon twine to tie my net on last time but this new scrog net i got seems to hold more taught on the edges than the AC Infinity one. I ended up having to cut off anyway
