Blewitberry Auto

Well, Dutch Passion Auto Blueberry is clearly only *mostly* idiot proof. That said, despite some very unhealthy leaves, there is a decent amount of flower. It felt more like putting down a sick pet than harvesting, though. I forgot to weigh everything before hanging it up to dry, but I pulled the big one out and weighed it at 68g wet, but fully trimmed. I'm guessing maybe 350g for the whole bunch, but it's a wild guess. Some of the buds are much less dense. Bud weight going into cure: 129g, ~4.6oz. I slightly underestimated my jar requirement, which is a good problem to have. Now if only it turns out to be more smokable than it has any right to be, like the first WW. Lessons: * Maybe don't try to use distilled water. My little WW sprout is getting filtered tap water instead. Local tap water is very hard, so I'm less likely to be short on minerals, and Scotty swears that the microbes will deal with the pH. * Next grow after the WW might be in buffered coco coir, like the Grow Dots are meant to be used. * Remember to increase light intensity sooner and to a greater degree than I did this time. I suspect I stunted the root system development, which was later exacerbated by a calcium deficiency. * The new controller firmware allows the main exhaust and the clip-on fan to operate independently, and it includes a random breeze setting on the clip-on. * After getting the humidifier and setting up a VPD-based config, I was able to maintain a much more consistent tent environment while running the fans more quietly and efficiently. 23-Oct Epilogue I don't entirely understand it, but even after just 3 weeks of cure so far, it's pretty good bud. I'm pulling my test nugs from the dregs jar. It was the last one I filled, so it got the ones I was least enthusiastic about. The nugs (at least these dregs) are pretty fluffy, and they never looked properly frosted, but they are quite sticky, more so than just about any commercial weed I've had. I smoked some this weekend, and I surprised myself when I realized I was disappointed when I finished the test nug and had to go back to my commercial Bubba Kush. I still feel some harshness in the throat, but no more so than some of the cheaper commercial batches I've smoked. The bigger surprise was how much I felt that first bong rip this weekend. I have pretty high tolerance, so it's unusual to have that "whoa!" feeling. I failed into success.
