02 Purple Gelato and Mango Smile Autos

At week 9, had to switch nutrients. Ran out of Green Planet and I had a lot of General Hydroponics Trio left, so I switched to that. I missed about 3 weeks of journaling here. Nothing exciting. Just kept nutes in the autopot reservoir. Purple Gelato, what a nightmare. At day 102, she had these giant colas but they were even buds - they were like stringy clumps of weird pistols. No smell. Barely any trichomes, nothing sticky. I decided to chop and dry her but she just dried into straight up hay that crumbled at the touch. Tossed her out in the yard. What a waste. Never again will I grow a Blimburn seed. I'm even a bit scarred by freebies in general. That was an awful experience. The beast plant was kicking off so much humidity even with my room-size dehumidifier INSIDE the tent and my exhaust fan cranked at 100%, in an AC-cooled room, I couldn't keep the humidity below 60% so for fear of mold or mildew and losing the whole grow, I chopped Mango a little early at day 77. (Breeder says 75-85 days but most people that have grown her say 85-95). She was starting to show amber trichomes just barely. I'd have liked to go another week at least, and in retrospect I wish I just pulled the beast out of the tent and trashed her and let Mango finish properly. Oh well. Live and learn.
