'Quick Sherbert' by Exoticseed

Hello all and welcome to another late installment on Ms. Quick Sherbet. I believe these pictures were taken on Day 15/16(?) of Bloom. Here's the Deets on this massive beast of a plant: The Good: -I'll probably be repeating this a thousand times more, but Jeez a friggin-Loo man, what a massive plant😐. She is thriving and there's no stopping her. With the stretch in full force, she's gaining about 1.5-2" a day in height. Changes had to be made to accommodate this girl and will go over in "Notes of the Week". All is well and happy to have the space to make these changes. -She is budding up faaaast and I can see the 7-8 week breeder projection now. It could definitely be a possibility with the way she's moving and ripening already. Seeing these huge stacks build up gives me a good feeling about harvest time👍. She will provide, for sure. Just need to watch my own actions and QS will continue to be right as rain. The "Meh": -Had to do a lot of work that I really didn't expect to have to do. Lots of acclimation changes, rotations and messing around. First few days during these changes were uncomfortable and I know I was stressing them out. -I over-watered and under-watered again... Eating fast due to low RH and I've been caught with my pants down a couple times now. No harm, no foul, but I'd like to avoid these stresses and keep them on vigorous cruise control. Notes of the Week: -It was near the end of this week that the FloraMax8 came in from FuturVert and I was able to make some moves and changes to accommodate QS's ridiculous growth rate. She is now on her own under a single SF-2000 in her own tent, dead center. Pretty much tapped out the buffer space with the lamp so the dimmable SF is being used at 65% and 45K Lux at 16-20" above canopy. -MS, Glookies and Gelato have all been moved over to FuturVert tent now and am currently running 65% at 45-50K Lux (I know lux isn't a hard/good read, it's just all I got and I use it as a benchmark). I feel I've dialed in the light but not the environment in the new unit, just yet. -Not too happy with my Inkbird automation right now. Devices were calibrated but fell out of whack. Two devices side by side will have a literal 3-4 degree Celsius difference and that's just not cool... These are now being used as benchmarks too and I've kinda gone back to manual acclimation to cover my ass. I see that I need something more accurate so I can actually walk away and be comfortable with the device(s) readings. That's just not the case right now. Looking at TrolMaster as a new means of control and automation. -When I get busy in other areas of my life, even if it pertains directly to cannabis, I tend to lose sight of my own projects and make mistakes. This has been happening again and I'm taking a step back for a bit to focus on what's important. I want/need my medicine and would like to pay a little attention to my end of things before over-stepping again. I'm an obsessive fella and can fall down rabbit holes very quickly. When my focus drops it takes time to get it back and it would be best to stop doing this, lol! I'm good, girls are good, current schedules are good, just see the writing on the wall and know where I'm heading if I don't buck up. -Have a little project for an EggHunters challenge w/ a Skunk #1. It's, ahhhh, not going too well😂. She looks great today, but I stunted the crap out of her and she's maybe 6 days old looking. Have three weeks of Veg before I have to flip for the contest rules and I really don't know what to expect. Just for funsies👍 *FuturVert FM8 Update (Power-Point)*: -Stupid powerful lamp man. Going from 240W SF's to a massive 660W FSG is a game changer and I have to be careful with this. Running at 24 inch buffer at 65% and this is achieving the 45K+ Lux rating in and by itself. -This lamp is one of the first test models with WiFi Dimming using ZigBee Ports and controls App. This may be a feature and integral in future, but for now it's not within the system and part of my job is to run some tests to ensure there aren't any issues. So, Day 11 (Jan 29th at time of typing) of running this girl and I've had zero issues....well, a couple, but it was my input errors and lack of reading instructions! 😂 -With WiFi Control I may set the lamp instensity, on/off times, fade in's and outs (Sunset/Sunrise), Alarms, special schedules and even frigging monitor power draw and savings by plugging in your kWh rates... I had no idea it had this much going on with it and I thought this was all just for dimming. Nope, it does a lot of fun things😄. I can even make it dance and should take a video of it running it's calibration test, lol. It's fun to stare at and play with. -So, Zero issues, plants are praying, no fade or light damage and it doesn't put out much heat at all. I don't have an IR gun but can see that this 660 puts out about as much BTU's as a single 240W SF. No fans or anything, just well engineered heat sinks to pull any heat up and away from the board. More then impressed. -Will post actually listed specs next update if you'd all like to see them. This is getting long, however, and I'll stop here. Thanks all for stopping by and checking out the monster😀. She's near the end of her 4th week right now and is frigging massive...Trust. Next update I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about and why she's so intimidating to me/why I had to make essential changes just for her. I hope you all have a good week till then and enjoy your holidays! Happy belated Christmas and I wish you a good New years eve, coming up. Much love and see you all on the flip side. Peace✊👋
