Germinated in jiffy pellet then directly into final pot.
This will be a test of the best techniques learned... looking to maximize yield, potentcy/terpenes and cycle time, while keeping required maintenance to minimum.
TOPPING - All will be topped on Day 21
BLUMATS - Using Blumat watering tech
SCROG - Using screens to spread branches
MICROBES - Mykos, Recharge, Mammoth P
DAY 1
Humidity dome on.
DAY 7
All doing well. Have been feeding the microbes and Mykos and wetting the medium. Mykos will accelerate growth below the surface.
7.3
DAY 11
MC 3g/gal
Silica Blast
Sweet Candy
CalMag
Recharge
Drenched with 32oz ph'd water then fed with additional 32oz to runoff to set moisture for Blumats. Installed Blumats in medium but turned off until tomorrow.
DAY 12
Filled res with 3g/gal mc.
Drip clean
Ph to 6.7
Set all Blumats to a hanging drop...minus. This should be the beginning of a very beautiful thing as all are looking good already.
COBs
Blumats
Coco
SCROG
DAY 14
Very nice vegetative growth. Blumats are very effective.
Begin week 5
DAY 29
She's taken well to the screen and is filling it nicely. She's healthy and vigorous.
DAY 35
She has completely filled the screen and continues to do well. The entire tent is very healthy and growing fast. A testament to the power of Blumats.
BEGIN WEEK 6
DAY 36
She filled the screen early and has been growing very strong and healthy. A 2x2 area dense with flowers.
(DAY 42)
END OF WEEK 6
Changed the resevoir on Saturday or Sunday and did not open valve. Plants dried out and are wilted with dead leaves all over.
Gave all a 30oz feed of microbes (recharge + mammoth p) and another 30oz from the resevoir.
BEGIN WEEK 7
DAY 43
Just when things were going too f*ing well, I cleaned the resevoir and left the main valve off for 2+days. After discovering the entire tent severely wilted and attempting 24 hrs of re-hydration, trimmed all dead/damaged material...which was a substantial amount. Re-filled and reset Blumats.
The timing of the issue couldnt have been worse...being when they were raging so hard. Slammed the grow into reverse for the time being.
Hand watered 30oz Recharge/Mammoth P feed. Re started Blumats. Hoping good care until the end helps the recovery.
FUCK!
Begin week 8
She has completely filled the screen and is now going like mad. She's a bit out of control as the scrog is hard to maintain in the rear of the tent with large plants in front. It's really looking good for those chunky cola canopy shots.
Begin week 10
She's remained mostly healthy and is building colas nicely.
DAY 68
I allowed the resevoir to go empty again and she is completely dry and dead. Removing her from the tent to make room for the 2 healthier plants to finish.
The power of Blumats is that they put things on cruise control and it's easy to become complacent and things go bad fast. These buds are dried out and have no real form. This will mostly go to hash pile for dry sift as she was VERY frosty.
Because of busy schedule, summer seems to get out of my control. Will take summers off (indoors) moving forward.
100% user error. Will try this strain again to give a true assessment.
DAY 77
This single pot scrog died prematurely from dehydration and was left in the pot for most of a week. She was dry and most buds were airy. Some buds were very dense and sticky. 108g trimmed into the curing jar to finish drying.
After some time in the HerbsNow drier. She finished @ 72g. That is a huge disappointment, but given the circumstances, not bad. All the loose buds that were separated out were pressed into rosin.
I totally neglected this grow and she died from dehydration. She was overly dry and now has no smell. She was growing very well before i botched things.
The yield was low on this one due to grower error. There was a lot of sticky wide open bud plant matetial that died and dried that way. All under-developed buds went to the rosin pile which yielded 5g of gooey (not taffy-like) 180° rosin.
