Guava x Gelato 41 Autos

Final verdict: Got about 20% weight after drying and trimming. Considering the learning curve, stunted growth, issues with pH, lighting and nutrient deficiencies, and I had to harvest early due to space constraints, I'm pleased that I got that much. The buds themselves are a bit fluffy, so that's an area of improvement. Although the effect is a heady one, the high and smell are quite strong. - Improvements for next grow: fewer plants in the tent: perhaps 2 instead of 6 to lower the humidity and general stank. Also introduce aloe, mycobacteria, kelp to phase out pricey supplements (bio heaven, algmic, etc). Finally, I'd like to have a bit better pH control. Water is was high at 7.5 and I think getting that a smidge lower would be beneficial. - Long term goals: grow a copule of big photos in larger 8 gallon fabric pots with homemade bio nutrients and compost based substrate. ******* 11.06.24 // Day 84: First harvest of P1 and P2 produced a total of 475g wet with stalks, stems, sugar leaves and a few fan leaves. First harvest took longer than I thought at 3 total hours for two plants and had a very potent smell that travelled quite a bit. I left most of the sugar leaves on but trimmed about 25% of them and all the fan leaves. Drying in a cardboard box placed at the side of the vent in, in grow tent. Drying seems to be holding at 17 - 21C and 50% - 60% RH most of first week. Plan is to dry for 7-10 days then trim and cure for as long as it takes. 😬 17.06.24 // Day 91: Dried for a week. Stems don't quite snap yet. Sampling has revealed good effects, heady high from just a couple tokes. Will continue to dry. 19.06.24 // Day 93: Buds are definitely dry. Might be able to jar them a day earlier. After an hour, RH inside the jar with headspace was 58%. I suspect it will climb a bit. Put one 8g packet of 62% boveda knockoff in with each jar. 21.06.24 // Jars sit at 62% RH at 21C.
