Flowering Purple Push Pops (grew 2023 outside) and Black Cherry Gelato (love to smoke it, first time growing)
Clones- from my clone guy- 4 Purple Push Pops and 2 Black Cherry Gelato
1000w LED, 4G Autopots,, coco/perlite 65/35, GH 3-part+ flourolicious, calimagic, SI, chelated iron, and humic acid , RO water, AC pro Controller and T8, 5x5 GG Tent with extension
Garage grow SoCal
This week I kept up the tucking and defoliating with the objective of stretching out the scrog and having at least one bud site per grid.
I also upgraded to an oscillating fan which I hung to free up grow space.
We’re running just under 1000ppm with no issues. I bumped my VPD up to account for leaf temp.
The autopots are working. They just increased their (self feeding) appetite - up from .3 gallon a day to .8 gallons a day.
This weeks accomplishments:
Dehumidifier venting tuning
Filled each scrog grid with at least one cola
Stabilize temp, humidity and VPD.
Stretched trellis with pvc frame
Better oscillating fans for top and bottom airflow
This week to-do
By Monday evening, I have to install two more autopots - I’m still hand feeding the gelatos.
I’m going on vaca, so we’ll see how this turns out.
Long term issues
Cooling and VPD targets during heat waves
Preventing pest and mold issues
My fiancé is getting jealous of all the attention to my grow!
I hope you all are having as much fun as I am.
Best of luck gromies.
@Krisis, aww TY. IDK if we even can finish it in a hot garage…. still have July and 2 weeks in August to ripen. 🤷🏼♂️
Today was 82 in the tent at “night”.
I’ll take this grow as a learning experience.
Congratulations on the harvest. These look fucken amazzzing. Awesome job you guys did here. Impressive. Would love to grow some of these. Great video as well. 💚
@Krisis, thanks so much for the nice words. I’ve throughly enjoyed and appreciated your willingness to engage, share and help me along the way.
I couldn’t be happier with the yield and the quality. I had a wild target of 1.5 lbs, but
I cleared over 2.5 pounds of solid nugz in the 5x5. Zero larf.
I’m kinda stunned……
@Krisis, thank you so much Krisis!!! I’m so happy with my results….. are you ready…….
2.5 pounds of solid NUGZ in the 5x5.
11.5 oz on the two gelatos (All weighed and jarred).
A conservative estimate is 24 oz for the four purple push pops. It’s still curing. But the PPP may go higher -
It’s super dense, and they were much more buds than the gelato. So I wouldn’t be surprised with 30oz on the 4ppp.
You were super inspiring to me with your first grow!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍
Looking great! Those autopots are awesome. The other outdoor grow you have on here was killer. Cool you wash hash, I'm gonna get into that a little bit more moving forward. I'm going to be flipping a tent to flower shortly, you've got me excited to see mine stretch and bloom!
@theVotanaGarden, when you’re growing a couple of pounds outside, it’s easier to throw a few pounds of the mid and lower grade in the freezer and just hash it. That way I don’t have to trim lower grade bud and I get some super Stoney high quality hash. Some of it was as good as my rosin. I ended up with over 3oz of bubble hash….. wheeew….
