Week 8 / Week 4 of Flower
9/22 thru 9/28
9/28 - This week has finished up great. No issues whatsoever and Ain’t she purty to look at? I haven’t posted my watering schedule but if anyone needs it, I’ll be happy to share it. I’ll make sure to post it and keep it updated on my next diary. It was just too many backlogged days to fill.
9/25- I am all caught up on this Journal and this week is starting out nice. The tent is starting to smell now and although it’s not super strong it is very pleasing. I am hoping to pinpoint more of a description of it later this week. I have to have my wife take a wiff as she has a much better nose for these things. The buds are developing nicely. Ill start tapering off the Grow Big nutes and concentrate more on just Tiger Bloom and Big bloom as they grow over the next few weeks.
I decided to measure the height and as of 9/24 its 30 inches.
The area I use for my tents tend to follow the humidity levels outside (at least until it gets to 65%) and will drop doing the day. Over the next month the humidity levels in my area should be dropping to between 40 - 50 during the day which should help with the resin production. I was previously using a big humidifier doing flower but I honestly found it didn’t make all that much difference and it just raised my electric bill.
Happy Growing!
Wow buddy!! super nice buds
What an amazing grow so far - good job and well done 🤝
Happy Growing & cant wait for your upcoming weeks 🌱
Cheers, Bud Boutique 👩🌾
Thanks Bud Boutique!
This has been a great grow for me as I think I have finally figured out most of the basics. My next challenge will be growing photos for a more consistent bud.
I’ll come take a look at what you have going. If your doing any photos I’ll be watching lol
Happy Growing!
Thanks! I see you’re growing a Banana Purple Punch Auto from Fastbuds. I got a few free seeds from them I’ll be trying out so I’ll have to keep an eye on your grow.
Happy Growing!
Thanks Bugsby!! It was a Great Harvest! I got about 750 grams wet weight so hoping for around 5 oz dry lol I know I won’t end up with that, probably more like 4 1/4 after cure and stems. I’ll be posting soon.
I have to give credit where it’s due and that would be my lovely wife! Lol she saw me trying to dry on lines hanging across my tent and was “umm I could fix that problem for you” and that’s what she got me. They each have 24 different clips and they fold up after use. I just love ‘‘em lol
I used to put my paper towels on the heat mat but I stopped going that. That heat can introduce pathogens and I’ve since found out that although there are more than one germination method, temperature doesn’t make much difference. What you’re trying to do is soften the shell and heat certainly helps that but the juice ain’t worth the squeeze. I started sanding the seems very lightly and that allows moisture inside which will hasten germination. I started using CulturedBiologix Dr. Root, which is just an instant tea, that I mix in water. You can ph it if you wish but it’s not a deal breaker because you’re not trying to uptake any nutes for two weeks anyway. Mephisto is notoriously finicky early on so all you want is root accelerators if anything for two weeks with an auto. IMO. So after I scuff the seeds I soak them overnight in a shot glass. If they sink sooner then just pour the water you soaked them in onto the paper towel and with sterile tweezers I place them point down on the paper towel and fold like everyone does. Then I place the baggie vertically with the points aiming down. They should start to work down in about two days. Then I put them straight into a 3gal container. Anything bigger is unnecessary IMO. I’ve seen Del from NightOwl (the best auto gear IMO) pull 30 grams out of a 3gal fabric container.
Good luck!
Yea I like to keep it pretty simple. Just PH’d water and a napkin in a baggy/Tupperware outside in the shade for 2 days. I don’t use many supplements until about week 2 and then only foxfarm trio & Calmag.
I always found the KISS method works best for me haha Keep it simple stupid.
I’ll check your grow out as well. Curious to see the same strain but with different breeders.
Happy Growing!
Happy Growing!
I couldn’t believe it myself when I weighed it! I think I just got lucky with a bigger than average plant. That being said I am extremely happy with this strain too. Going to grow it again for sure.
I leave a 62% Boveda (1oz) pack in and still burp my jars doing the cure. They are more for a backup if I forget to burp them.
I’ll be checking your grow for your dry harvest pics!
