I will report back more after it has dried and is able to be smoked better. I had a couple test buds a couple weeks out, and it was a pleasant smoke, with a definite cinnamon/spice flavor being prominent. Interesting to see after the whole batch dries and cures, as to if it changes much.

Reviews. Nutrient
No problems with the nutrients. I probably overdid it in flower a bit, as I just followed the feeding chart vs actually letting the plant tell me how much to give. I have nothing to compare it against, but I am happy with the results. Giving 5 stars, only because there were no problems due to them, and I don't have anything to compare saying that something else would definitely be better.
Reviews. Lamp
She was harvested on May 26, day 143, on the 87th day of flower, after a 24 hour dark cycle. I hadn't pruned as well as I would have liked under the net (it was hard for me to manage), and it left a bit of underdeveloped, light deficient flowers. Not sure what will be done with them just yet, but they will be drying with the rest. I will update weights and everything else after drying has completed. No wet weights were taken (I just personally see little use in it when there is going to be extra stem and leaf material that will be removed after drying).
Edit: 6/1/19 - 233g of dried bud that was above the nets (good bud), and 109g of larfy, light deprived, under canopy bud that will likely be used for edibles or something else. Total of 342g flower in a 3x3 tent with QB lights. It is now in jars, and possibly jarred slightly early, but I figure I can easily burp the jars daily for 20-30 minutes, or more if needed, as they continue to dry/cure. In my mind, easier to allow to dry a bit more when in a jar than to over dry before jarring. Will update smoking characteristics in another week or 2, after some cure time has elapsed.

Grow Questions
buddha61started grow question 6 years ago
If anyone actually looks at the temp/humidity monitor in my photos, you will see it goes from 40%s during lights on, to mid 50%s during lights off. Do I need to invest in a dehumidifier sooner rather than later, or will mid 50s during lights off not pose huge mold risks in flower

Thee_HoffGuyyanswered grow question 6 years ago
Hey Buddha61! Looking great👍 The humidity is not to bad at all. As long as you dont get above 55% you should be fine you have a nice trained plant so as long as it is getting enough airflow you should be fine. Airflow is important because you can get "spots" that are more humid than others if it's lets say an area of the ten the fan does not get to or something blocks the wind from the fan. and it also helps if there is any spores trying to land on the plants if will blow them away! haha But as long as it stays below 55%RH you should be fine now if you do notice it creeping up higher than that then i would definitely look into a dehumidifier. Plus there are some other benefits of a dehumidifier. You are able to mimic the natural environment outside and lower the RH as flower starts. and it helps bring out more flavor trichome/resin production with the more "dry" conditions later in flower👌. If you do invest in one what i do is start at 50-55%RH for the first 2 weeks of flower then drop it to 40-45% for the 3rd an 4th week. and after the 4th Drop it to 30-35% and have been getting fantastic results since starting to do it Hope this helps! Happy Growing😎

@DrGreenThumb95, Thanks. Looking back, there are 3 areas which I wish I had done better. I wish I had did a better job pruning/defoliating under the screen, I wish I had filled the screen out more, and now knowing that it didn't stretch much, I wish I had let it grow through the net a week or so before flipping. It was still a good result, but I feel it could have been better (don't we all).

@buddha61, meh - don’t think it’ll make a huge difference one way or the other. Even if ur still 2-3 weeks out you’re so close to the finish that I wouldn’t worry about it causing a serious problem. The loupe will tell you a lot more so good that’s it showing up soon👍

@TheBudWhisperer, Told ya it feels like a few more weeks yet :) I do have a loupe on the way from Amazon (here tomorrow), so hopefully I will be able to get semi clear trich shots. Yea, the nute burn was noticed a couple weeks ago, and I cut back on the bloom a bit. The Mag Pro doesn't have calcium, but the bloom formula has 2% calcium, apparently. Wonder if I should go back to close to full strength on the bloom and cut the Mag Pro back. Now that you mention it, it does seem that the discoloration has started since I lowered the strength of the bloom.

@SommerVirelli, Thanks. I attribute a lot of it to reading/gaining information from the internet. It doesn't hurt that as a kid my family usually had gardens (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc) and I would help grow that each year. I of course had some veg growing pains, but have got her looking much better in flower.

@buddha61, hear that - biggest knock with scrog is that the veg. Time takes what it takes to fill up the net. That said - totally worth it!👍😎

@TheBudWhisperer,Thanks. I realized after I decided that I was going to scrog that it was going to take too long for one plant to fill the entire screen, so I just tried for even and as big as I could in the time I vegged.

@JohnnyBlaz3, the inside/usable area is 27"x30". I obviously didn't fill it completely out, but it was a last second thing to do (and would have taken many more weeks), as I wasn't sure what method I was going to employ, just LST and trying to bush her or trying to scrog. In the end, I wasn't sure if I would want to go back and try a scrog again, so I went ahead and used it. When I look at the canopy shot posted D64, or even when opening the tent, there is some small joy received when seeing a relatively flat canopy level.
I am already considering mainlining/manifolding next round.

@JohnnyBlaz3, Thanks. She is really starting to come along now. Lots of beginning flower growth started, and I believe I found a leaf that actually has some trichrome development starting, which I would think 13 days of 12/12 would be a bit early to start, but I won't complain.

@buddha61, I had to part harvest my Think Big Auto at 11 weeks, 5 zips of the biggest colas. But then I got another 13 zips at 16 weeks. Surprisingly the quality of the smoke was no different, the 16 week buds were just more filled out.

@Budofpray, If I do go with a scope, it will definitely have to be next grow, as I'm not going to worry too much about it right now, as I can kinda see when looking, just won't be able to add many good trich photos to the journal. I realize a partial/staggered harvest can be done on a plant, but I am pretty sure that my tent is going to function as a drying chamber, so it will be one chop this time.

@Crwfz1, It was 27" x 30" on the inside. I had some scrap 30" wood, and that became the frame for the scrog. Thinking about doing it again, but at almost the full size of my tent, about 35" from pole to pole, though it is dubbed a 3x3 tent, so should be 36x36.
