🌿 Green Crack F1 Hybrid Auto

DurpDankley Not a lot to say at this point. She's coming along. The weak tea maybe could have been even weaker 😕, but I they'll get over it. They were all due for a drink so they got a decent flush to help wash out whatever I did.

DurpDankley Just water this week

DurpDankley 1Tbsp Dr. Earth 4-6-3 top-dressed, massaged in, and watered down with 1 quart of pH 5.8 de-chlorinated, carbon filtered water. I added a cheap Vick's warm air humidifier in front of my oscillating fan, halfway through the week. Temp/RH much better now... not perfect but as winter approaches, the basement temperature will drop by about 10 degrees (typically) which should improve the VPD in the Basement Grow Zone (BGZ). I've brought BGZ VPD down from 1.7-ish to 1.1 or so. The four sensors are: 1: BGZ @ eye level 2: BGZ @ canopy 3: BGZ @ knee level IN: Main Floor Living Space @ waist level VPD Calculator and Reference: https://www.omnicalculator.com/biology/vapor-pressure-deficit

DurpDankley Coming along nicely. A bit of a slow start due to my own newb-liness. My overall plan this grow cycle is to let grow naturally with limited manhandling, so I can get a decent baseline which can inform my future grows for this cultivar. There is no point in mucking about with unknowns until you know em, ya know?! With the new humidifier comes better data collection! Created a pivot table in my Google spreadsheet to better organize and present the data I'm collecting. Santa bringing new humidifier and lights before Thanksgiving.

DurpDankley GCF1Ha-001 is doing well considering the low light conditions. I give her a little bending and pinching to keep her in line and behaving.

DurpDankley The new grow lights won't arrive in time to do this lady much good. It will be interesting to compare under-powered vs properly lit grows. Update: New lights are here!! 4ea SZHLUX PT-1800 online, and I've got 4 more waiting for another circuit to be run. The older weaker lights will be used for cloning and seedlings around the grow space.

DurpDankley After playing with the new lights, I've set them to 14" above the canopy which provides: PPFD: 700-ish Lighting: 20/4 DLI: 40 or so... maybe a bit over.

DurpDankley starting to get plump

DurpDankley Time for some defoliation and pruning, methinks. Updated data pic with latest dashboard layout. It's not perfect, but I think it is better. No real growth over the past week, buds are thickening and ripening. No real growth over the past week, buds are thickening and ripening. High likelihood of harvest near end of week 10 or mid-late week 11. Took and posted some decent tric-pix and cleaned up redundant photos. To my ancient eyes the trichomes are mostly clear leaning toward cloudy with a scattering of amber.

DurpDankley mmm... I am amazed at the thick and dense buds. Def gonna be on my re-run list! Almost completely opaque, very little clear as far as I can see. Not much amber yet. Maybe by Monday she'll be ready to chop.

DurpDankley She started to get amber real fast toward the end. My largest harvest to date. All the buds are on the drying rack waiting for their time in the cure bags.
