As this is my first grow, it's hard to gauge how susceptible or resilient the strain is to disease, mishandling, or environmental conditions. I can say, however, there were large inconsistencies throughout the grow with all of the above mentioned factors, and we still made it to harvest lol

Very minimal pinhole light leaks. Vent holes could be slightly larger to accommodate for inconsistent ducting diameters. Could use extra hanging poles and lateral supports to keep the tent from imploding when exhaust fan is running on high. Overall great tent though.

Yields are shown below. Weights taken after drying for 7 - 9 days. RH in curing jars measured between 57% and 62%. Gorilla Zkittlez 2 89.5g bud 8.6g popcorn 18g trim Gorilla Zkittlez 1 51.0g bud 6.2g popcorn 17g trim Red Dragon 53.5g bud 7.5g popcorn 27g trim Totals 194.0g bud 22.3g popcorn 62g trim This was a wonderfully rewarding experience. From learning how to grow, to the friendships made, to even the satisfaction of seeing the tiny little plants turn into beautiful flowers. Mistakes were made along the way though. Watering. Lights. Feeding. Pruning. Harvesting. There isn't a single thing I could say I nail 100%. That's motivational, granted how well everything turned out at the end. The process is approaching on a span of nearly half a year, and I've grown to appreciate that good things will take time. Will upload more photos when I get the chance. Thank you for following along if you have, or for just checking out this kid's first go at trying to grow some pot. Stay safe, have fun, and keep the peace. KK

Grow Questions

KaptainKronicXstarted grow question 5 years ago
How important is it to keep the plants in COMPLETE darkness during lights off during flowering? Thinking of running some ducting with cut-to-size furnace filter out the vent hole on the side of the tent which supplies air right now. Will that be enough?

It's pretty important. Any leaks that can get in can cause stress on your plant which in turns results in a hermied plant. And no one wants that. You need about 3-4 times the size of a passive intake as you do your extraction. (I used a thing to cover my intake that I found on Amazon. Was a bug screen carbon filter shield that you could stretch over the duct work) As long as you can hit that number it shouldn't be an Issue friend! Happy growing! 👊

Well you did a very good job. It took me almost 2 years of trial and error to get it down. Mistakes will be made but they are necessary for learning. CHEERS!!!
