GG-OG Autoflower

I was familiar with cannabis, having being introduced to the grow when I was around 7 years old. My dad (god rest his soul) had me help him when I was young, I remember the hidden grow room in the pump house for the indoor grow, the outdoor grows in a blackberry brier, haha even next to my Mom's tomato's in the garden! So I knew they liked a routine, and a green thumb. The seed company I just researched them, they were local to me and had very positive reviews. I know genetics are very important and they seemed to have a good grasp on the product. The grow initially started as a cheap outdoor grow, wanted to do it all natural at first. I knew in the end regardless for drying I had to have a tent with a carbon filter, I have two teen age daughters that in this moment of time I don't want the questions. So with that being said, as I started to build the tent in preparation I just decided to keep buying researched and thought out pieces for my build. I stayed humble with a 3x3x6 vivosun tent. I have two 6" vivosun fans with ducting for a passive intake if need be. I ran this tent in a passive intake which ultimatley worked best for me. I have two 6" vivosun fans for circulation in the tent. Used the exhale bag (worked perfect!!) for CO2. The light no question was going to be HLG. These guys rock, well engineered product and I was happy to get the rspec for the grow. The light is perfect for a 3x3! I ran this turned down just a skeech to 450 watts. At full tilt the light was just too much and she would get max DLI in 16 hours instead of 18 (she was on a 18/6 light schedule). Controlling the environment was a must for the tent, and this is the biggest hassle of all. I fought the intake and quickly learned that passive is the best for me. I used "pulse" to monitor the inside, cool device and data is easily an app on your phone, I highly recommend them. Inkbird worked the exhaust fan/temp and allowed me to monitior the RH% in the garage. I also used them to operate the humidifier and dehumidifier. All in all it was fun, and a lot longer than expected... She grew great, surprised me with the bud density and thank goodness I caught the budrot early. I think the smoke turned out great. The bud has a very distinct pine, citrus dank smell in a jar. Make this an air freshener! I tried some after 4 days of curing and man.......I was blown away. My fiance and I smoke about an 1/8th between us weekly. We are very accustomed to top shelf bud, and we are lucky to have a grower/dispenser very close to us. They are strictly medical and not available to the public. Needless to say I am comparing my grow to them and I am on par if not slightly better then their super lemon haze. The separating difference to where they have an edge is the bud density imop. Mine is a little more airy and theirs is more dense, and I like that. But hey,.....my first time I thought for sure I was going to screw up on the grow, the drying, even the cure. I would admit I overthink a lot and that probably made things worse, but in the end this smoke came out great. Two good tokes off a bong, nice chocolate, diesel, piney flavor........exactly what I wanted, and now I have 7 ounces and two more growing at week 6 as of right now. Thanks to all of those that chimed in during the diary I really appreciate it. This is a great site and a must for keeping track. Peace
