Had a great week, started to lollipop all of my plants, cut nitrogen all the way back and am sticking to Big Buds nutrients. The smell is already amazing, very skunky.
4 girls in the tent in flower so too many terps to describe who’s are who’s at the moment; super sticky bus hope to see some more colors come out in the next weeks 🤟
Apologies that this took me so long to update!
This harvest was probably my second favorite, after my Choc Mint OG. Even tho the yeild was low due to only having 1 plant after a season on downs.
Been wanting to try out this auto ghost og from original sensible seeds for a while and finally got the opportunity to get one wet.
I originally started this setup to compete in the solo cup challenge, but I needed something that will be minimal maintainence and doesn't require hand watering. So this is what I ended up with. I will not be entering since I know it will bring controversy, but I am going to follow the rules and treat this grow as if I am competing.
I didn't want to use regular solo cups because last time I had a lot of algae growing in the root zone when I harvested. I opted to use a black light proof cup. These cups were 27 oz originally so I filled them with 16 oz of water, marked the level, then cut them down to 16 oz. I set the drain pipes about an inch from the bottom so they have a little reserve if I have pump or power issues. I know people will see the drains as a way for roots to grow out of the cup but in reality I have to keep the entire pipe free of roots or it will clog and overflow. So I am actually losing a little volume due to this.
I filled the bottom inch or so of the cups with river gravel to stop the perlite from washing into the reservoir.
I am running a 5 gallon reservoir with a small air pump and the plants will be getting irritated 24 hours a day from an aquarium power head pump. I set the system up to be totally self contained and easily portable. It was all built from things I had laying around other than 97¢ for the cups. I will be keeping the feed simple as always feeding maxigro and maxibloom with a couple flower boosters.
A nice strain that is very worth while growing, can take some punishment and still give a good return. The buds are top shelf stuff 👌 will definitely be growing again.
Hello 👋🏼
Busy weeks, so I’ll post simple stuff and pictures. Most important is to control temps, because that’s hard. Watering is a bit under control, I’ll wait enough time in between to get the soil dry dry, she doesn’t drink daily 1.5l but sometimes she drink more or less. The buds are growing good, I think because of the temp changes the weed gets the purple ish leafs. I don’t mind the buds look green.
Typical Green Crack harvest, lot of leaves but easy otherwise
Lack of tent space really hurt her yield, guessing 25% less due to it
Dry weight for Plenty 322 grams nice easy final trim rock hard nugs
Two clones follow
The clones nearly identical both weigh in at 710 grams wet in dry yield later
Clones yielded 287 grams dry
First week under the Lumatek 600 Pro set to 50% and aporox 40cm away from canopy.
Day 7 applied some pruning and supercropped the few taller girls to even out the canopy.
I will add a CO2 bag next week as i increase the power to avoid potential light stress.
I think I trained too hard too late in harvest. One of the Wedding Cake plants went hermie and pollenated everything. I'm disappointed but I'll be more gentle at the end of flower next grow. The buds were still good in a vape but I had to be careful of the seeds. I made hash from most of it.
10/31 Trimmed some leaves that had been scorched from water laying on them under the HPS. They were bone dry so I watered about 100ozs each which is about double what I have been giving them. I'll start feeding next watering.
11/3 Watered and fed with Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom at a quarter strength.
11/4 Received a pH meter and checked my well water. I'm at 7.5 so I ordered pH down.
