PicoDeGallo Week 7.
This has been using an old Phototron. It has no drainage and was set up to use sphagnum moss, not dirt. I am using Scott’s potting soil.
Thanks for any advice or comments.

PicoDeGallo Seems to be going well. I’m using the Spider Farmer 3 in 1 sensor to help with the water. It takes more than I would have thought.
One of the plants has shot up about 4” over the last week and everything is bushy.
I took a few leaves out to help with the light.

PicoDeGallo Didn’t get any taller but the long stem is starting to fill in. The other plants buds are filling in nicely and starting to get that sparkle and a little bit of color starting to show.
Looking at other grows, it looks like it might be another 2-3 weeks before harvest.
Any advice is appreciated.

PicoDeGallo FasrBuds says “Fiercely fast. Extremely resinous top-shelf flowers in just 63 days!”
It’s been 67 days and they’re not quite ready.
One is farther along than the other.
Most of the dairies on this seed seem to be more like 10-11 weeks.
This week both plants increased the density of their buds. You can see the difference when you look at the photos from week to week.
I’m going to take a few of the tops today and let them start to dry. I’m so impatient.
Big thumbs up to Spider Farmer on the 3 in 1 sensors. There’s no way I would have given this plant as much water as it needed without this setup.
And also their cell phone microscope.
Update: I took about 5 of the fullest buds from the more mature plant.
26 grams green weight.

PicoDeGallo Week 11. The second plant is getting fuller and the first to be finished is starting to loose its white, turning amber.
I cut 26 grams of bud last week, but I think I’ll leave them both for another week maybe two.
Not much smell.
I added microscopic photos of the 2 plants. What do you guys see when you zoom in? Cloudy or clear?
Update, I harvested the #1 plant, and trimmed the buds. 44 grams wet weight. The 26 grams I cut last week makes about 70 grams wet for my 1st harvestable plant.
Plant #2 can take its time.
I harvested the first plant a week ago and have it drying now. I didn’t get the wet weight.
The second plant, I extended to let it go as long as possible. It looked like it was really close, until yesterday.
The Phototron doesn’t have any drainage, so I tilt it to help the moisture distribution.
Yesterday I had it tipped too much and it fell over, coating all of the buds in potting soil.
I thought that the best thing to do was rinse them off, so I dipped the branches in and bucket of water to get the dirt out. Then put them in front of a fan to dry. They look pretty good but we’ll see.
I’ll add photos when I get a dry weight.

PicoDeGallo I had an accident with the Phototron and had to harvest the second plant. I had to rinse a lot of dirt out of the buds so I didn’t get a wet weight, but I hope to update later with the dry weight and photos.
@Fast_Buds, your Gorilla Z auto has begun to flower at week 3, however I believe the broad mites won. I’ve never had this prom before as I am strictly hydroponic.
@Schafe1001, I thought they looked like they were flowering too, but I’ve seen other photos of this species doing the same.
Do you say I have mites?
This is really my first grow and I appreciate any advice.
Also I have a new setup for a new grow that I hope to start later today.
@Fast_Buds, it seems auto’s are more susceptible to broad mites. I believe we both used the Miracle Gro, I mixed with half coco coir, and Ai 🤖 tells me the Scotts probably had it as coco is almost sterile
