@MomnPoppaSeed, Appreciate the kind words. Iโm really hoping I can stretch these to at least week 9. So far, trichs are all still cloudy, but they are maturing at a crazy rapid rate IMO.
@DocofRock, well to get the contrast I rather intensify the blacks by -25 in the lighting section, then the temperature is set at -25 and the tint -6 to get the slight violet tint off. Then you can sharpen the image by +10 if you wish, then also you can intensify the Texture by +4 or +6.
Harvest completed, 15 oz of fat, quality flower. 1-2 oz of lower branch larf made into dry ice hash, plus a further 1.75 oz of high-quality dry trim (being made into Gold Dragon tincture). Overall, very happy with the rich terpene profiles and resinous, trichome-coated buds from this living soil grow. Iโm 1.5 days into germinating my next crop, all from Useful Seeds (including Grape OG x Chocolate Diesel testers). New journal coming soon.
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, Thanks dude. Yeah, it can be a headache over there. I mostly just isolate myself to the Useful thread โ good people over there. God spare you if you venture over to the LED subforums though. Hahah
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, Appreciate it my dude. I definitely try to keep them happy. As a newer grower itโs great to get good feedback. Iโm new here at growdiaries, but been slumming it over at Rollitup (mostly in the Useful Seeds thread) for a while. Thanks for the kind words. Cheers!
@EastCoastGreen,
Living soil + mulch + composts and top dressing, TONS of airflow, and 4x QB 288 V2 Rspec boards driven by two Meanwell 2100 cc drivers. Also use a far red supplement just before and after lights out. Other than that, a hand full of high quality amendments and supplements from build a soil.
