Week 3 Day 1: whew! I feel like we catching our stride! Last week was a battle with the numbers. The AC infinity Vegetative recipe had my devices all over the place (like my lights refused to come on and go off on schedule as they had been).
Thennnn once I got the schedule together the humidity starting rising like a MFer! I think the rain last week contributed to it and of course it’s summer so that doesn’t help. I broke and got a dehumidifier on Facebook marketplace and now the humidity is under control, but the temps are up to 85 during the day sometimes! I opened two vents, so I’m hoping this balances it all out. Will start LST, and feeding later this week.. early next week!
Week 3 Day 5: Well, well, well.. things are looking manageable and for that I am grateful. Humidity is still higher than desired.. humidifier is working.. but it’s not pumping the water out into my drain hole. I’m on vacation for the weekend, and washed clothes before I left and it jumped up again. So I’m hoping it continues to drop, because we did notice some powdery mildew. We think it’s due to the large number of plants in this 3x3 tent.. but we cut that off and spread them out and moved the fans and are hoping for the best. Plants have been topped and are ready to get started with low stress training and will be moved up to 5 gallon pots. That’s all folks, signing off.. almost one month in!
Big ole buds
PS - Big shout out to Good Hope Hydroponics for supporting me all throughout my grow! I wouldn’t have nearly as much confidence in the information I’ve got so far without them. Thanks as well for the Microbial Mass Pro!! We will figure out how we want to incorporate this into our grow for some testing soon!!
Any advice on getting good quality trichome photos?
I have a cheap small USB Microscope, but I don't want to break off a bud to get a good still imagine. Please help lol
I'm using a Carson MicroBrite Pro microscope, about . Photos are a bit fidgety with the phone clip but doable. Check my profile pic. If you want to see more let me know.
@BudBoutique,Thanks growmie! It was a learning experience for sure. Hopefully I can find a spot in my yard with more light for next growing season. I think that would increase my yield and the quality for sure.
After trimming the nugs were kind of light, and I think we honestly could've done a better job with maintaining our dry room conditions. The smoke wasn't grassy at all though, and there were clear flavors present, but I think we lost some quality due to the buds drying out too quickly.
So YOU personally top your Autoflowers? Cuz I accidentally just topped mine, I git it mixed up with another plant ended up topping thr Autoflower instead, and I'm super worried I've ruined her! Everyone I've spoken to warns against it. Strain
