1st run with Evo 8. Seemed to work well. Found that I had to run less watts to achieve my desired PPFD than my other lights. 475 watts at 30” away gave me 900-1000.
Third run in this tent and already getting breakdown of the rubbery material around the zippers and developing light leaks. Pin holes a plenty. It’s not a bad tent but they are the most expensive and for that I give 3 stars.
I pulled 3 of the 5 at day 67. These were the smaller phenos. Great smell of mint on these with a hint of funky sweet almost spoiled fruit. These have now been through the 8 day dry/cure cycle of the Cannatrol Cool Cure. Now I have placed in a large Grove Bag to finish curing. Total dried and trimmed weight of these 3 plants was 167.8 grams or 6 ounces.
The other 2 plants were chopped at day 76. These were larger plants that had a more jelly almost grape smell with a more subdued mint underneath. They are now in the Cannatrol and will be done in a few days. I will update the total weight for all 5 plants next week. I’m expecting an additional 7 ounces (guess) between these last 2.
I drove all these plants HARD with light/ temp and added CO2 for veg and about 3/4 of the flower time.
These buds are all fucking SUPER DENSE. The 3 smaller plants had better frost on them. The 2 larger plants were not as frosty but still adequate in my book.
UPDATE:
I now have the dry weight of the last two plants as well as a smoke report.
These last two were bigger than the first three I harvested and weighed in at 141.8 grams. This gave me a total weight of grade A and B nugs of 309.6 grams. This equals just over 11 ounces of some really nice nugs. Not a super great yield for 5 plants but for autoflowers, I’ll take it.
The nutrient lockout did hinder the potency a bit compared to last years outdoor run. The terps were on point and it gives you a nice heady high followed by a very relaxing come down BUT last years outdoor run did hit a bit harder. Still a very decent smoke. This run definitely had the minty taste but had a more distinct jelly or candy exhale that lingers in the mouth.
That’s it for this run. Thanks to anyone who took the time to read through the diary.
@HR_Puffinnugs, i prefer photos but sometimes nice to grow autos. And i had period when i was forced to keep light 24h for temps so only option was autoflowers.
