Pheno #4 is finally finished so I've made the decision to harvest. I'm pretty bummed out with this grow, and the results aren't the best. Out of the three plants, I managed to get around 130-ish grams of good usable buds. The rest of it was just larf unfortunately. My previous run with the AvTk went much better, and I'm stuck here scratching my head on what could have gone wrong. I have some theories.
First, it was cold. Definitely a few degrees cooler in this tent than my others. This tent is also (almost) touching the cold concrete floor. Maybe the root zone was just colder in this tent due to this and it stunted the plants?
Second, it was really bright. This is the first time I'm growing with this FCE 4800. The plants ended up being super short and slow to grow. I did take care to hang my light up higher than usual this grow, but maybe it was not enough. I didn't notice any overt signs of light stress, but I can't completely rule it out either.
Most of the plant was not of good quality. Fortunately the tops are all pretty good. Phenos 2 and 4 came out pretty good, with pheno 2 having surprisingly dense and nice buds. Pheno 1 really blows. Not only is she larfy, but it looks like she finished up super early. It smells nice though, so maybe she is worth smoking.
Welp, can't have winners all the time. My last AvTK was fuckin' incredible at least. Happy to put this one behind me and start something else. My HubbaBubbaHaze x Livers is doing really well and will be chopped shortly, and I will most likely be starting Mephisto's Chemdoggin soon.
