Correction- Overdried before the first weigh in. After a month with the humidity packs the final weight was 12oz! Very good for a 2x4 tent!

2 years ago

9oz after drying and letting the cure stabilize. Pretty happy with the yield all things considered. Just a little below my target for a 2x4 tent, but still my best grow to date. Looking forward to seeing what the fully cured smoke is like and already planning the fall grow!

2 years ago

48oz wet! So much easier to trim a limited number of big colas. Mainline training only from now on. Hoping to see a bit over 1/2lb once it’s all said and done.

2 years ago

Chop day! Trichs are getting cloudy, maybe an amber one here and there, so down they come! Trimmed buds coming soon!

2 years ago

Exactly 9 weeks since the switch was flipped. I’m no flushing gang, so ripening feed it is until the trichs cloud up or the yellowing threatens the buds! Somewhat shockingly, they’re still putting on weight!

2 years ago

Just waiting for these girls to cloud up. Some have just started to turn. Right on schedule for the chop next weekend!

2 years ago

Ripening phase started today! Just over a week left but I’m not seeing much clouding in the trichs yet. Interested to see how they react to the ripening feed. Keeping things exactly as on the ccfc feed schedule and hoping that’s as close to right between what these two very different plants need as possible.

2 years ago

Getting down with the thiccness! I caved and started diluting the mix a bit. The curling on the left plant was just getting too bad to ignore, even though the right plant seemed to be responding better to the full strength mix. I also don’t think it can hurt to wall down by 100 EC or so per day as to not shock them when I go from 1300 to 900 for the ripening mix in a couple days. I’m already happy with the volume and density of the flowers, the growth and ripening I get over the next two weeks is just icing on the cake.

2 years ago

At 7 weeks of flower now. Since I’m not sure I have two of the same strain anymore, I’m going to start watching the trichs very closely in case one is ready before the nominal 9 weeks

2 years ago

Getting pretty frosty!

2 years ago

Last week at full strength bloom feed. Finish line in sight!

2 years ago

Don’t think I’ll be needing another lens to look at the trichs anymore! Was thinking about getting one, but the 13 pro’s macro mode is a champ.

2 years ago

3 weeks to go! Smaller plant is somehow still losing color while the bigger plant remains very green in the same feed. The buds still look good, but I’ll be expecting to chop it as soon as it’s ready.

2 years ago

Added another cycle to put them at 4/day fertigation. The smaller plant was seeming kind of dry and I have not increased the frequency yet. Hopefully this will smooth out the slight but persistent burn I’m seeing.

2 years ago

Started the late bloom feed today. Probably should have cut back on the nitrogen when I had the option earlier this week. I imagine that’s what’s mostly contributing to the burnt tips. Buds are putting on some density, especially the smaller plant!

2 years ago

Buds getting thicc! Last day of mid bloom on the ccfc schedule.

2 years ago

Got the EC up to the prescribed 1200 in preparation for the move the the late bloom mix at 1300.

2 years ago

Day 33 of flowering. 3 weeks to go! Starting to see some darker hairs on the bigger plant.

2 years ago

Looking good today! I watched the irrigation happening and noticed that some some the solution didn’t have time to soak in before running down the side of the pot. Not a big deal, but my run off numbers are right where they should be, so having some not flushing the soil could be leading to dry spots. Changed the pump to split each event into two shorter pump cycles. Still had some overspill so I changed it to three cycles. Sides of the pot were dry this morning, but I’d still like to watch it run before calling it fixed

2 years ago

I grabbed an shook one of the main stems and it’s freaking HEAVY! Bud production seems to be going along just fine. I still tried to get the EC to 1200 but only hit 1100 despite holding back with the amount of starting water. May try to boost that later this week if they lose any more greenness.

2 years ago

I would say we’re officially into the bulking period with about a month left to go. Looking forward to seeing how much weight and color they put on in that time. They’re already starting to show some purple from the cooler night temps!

2 years ago

Looking a little lighter green now. I’ll go to full strength for the last week of the mid flower mix when I refill the res tomorrow. Currently using about 9-10gal per week

2 years ago

Really starting to see some dense stuff growing between the hairs now.

2 years ago

Bulking season

2 years ago

The stretch seems to be coming to an end. The buds are starting to put on some bulk now at halfway through flowering. Looking forward to the next month!

2 years ago

Over-diluted the feed a little bit, but I think that’s going to be for the best since there was indeed a bit of tip burn showing up. I upped the amount they’re getting to improve runoff as well. This should take care of any salt buildup that could have happened if things got too dry.

2 years ago

Buds, they are a growing.

2 years ago

Really starting to see the resin forming. The smell is getting good too. Roots are continuing to thrive outside the pot

2 years ago

Put in the larger exhaust fan and put another small one on the canopy. 74 degrees and 50% humidity with the lights on now. Did another hopefully final round of defoliation. Can already tell that the little leaves on the buds are going to make the convoy very dense on their own, so I think taking off some fan leaves now will help keep the buds from getting too humid as they fill out.

2 years ago

Buds are coming in nicely. Noticing the canopy being a bit dense and humid so I added a fan above it. I like think they’re also established enough to take a bit of defoliation here soon to improve airflow.

2 years ago

Switched to the mid flower feed at cut it back to the recommended EC value at 1200. Might take it up higher for the second week of this mix, but don’t want to go too crazy with the higher P blend right away.

2 years ago

Growing explosively now! The buds look significantly bigger every day. Losing some of the evenness to the canopy, especially on the big plant, but I think I can live with it. The stems I stunted earlier were always going to lead to this. Picking up a new EC meter was a smart move, I had actually been giving them 1370EC feed all week! They are scheduled to go to 1300 tomorrow for the late bloom feed and only show maybe some slightly burnt tips while growing well, so I’m currently not too worried about the situation. The new meter is an Apera Instruments from the same line as my ph meter. I highly recommend getting at least this caliber of meters with calibration samples if you’re going to be doing something even semi hydro like this.

2 years ago

Almost two weeks into flower now and really starting to look the part. My EC meter has been reading suspiciously low so I have a new higher quality one coming tomorrow to compare with. Even if I am over on the EC a bit they still are looking healthy

2 years ago

Have pulled off a few more fan leaves but plan on leaving them alone once they’re fully into flower. Still looking nice and green with no signs of burn yet. Will start with a stronger feed in the morning.

2 years ago

They’re very much in their stretch phase now. Brought up EC to 1050 and will aim to get up to 1150 before the end of the first week of flower. PH 5.8

2 years ago

Both of my girls are showing pistils after just two days! Made way too much of the transitional feed, but that’s a good problem to have. Switching to week one flowering feed for the 9 week schedule tomorrow

2 years ago

Flipping the switch today. These plants have thick stems and a possibly over healthy root system. Here’s to hoping this all translates to weighty buds. Starting off with 6gal of the transitional feed. 1200EC 5.8PH

2 years ago

Taller plant is now about 16”. Going to give the other one a few days to catch up before the flip. Still on late veg feed 1200EC 5.8 PH

2 years ago

Focusing on getting the canopy to cover all of the available space before going to flower. Once they’ve put on a few more inches and hit about 16” off the dirt it’ll be time. Accidentally lopped off a growth tip on the bigger plant, but luckily hadn’t trimmed the one just below. Will be paying attention to yields on that branch, will let me know if I should just take the whole thing off at this point or leave it like I have this time if I make this mistake again.

2 years ago

Training coming along well. Took out some of the lower leaves as the top canopy spreads out

2 years ago

Defoliated and trained a bit today in prep for the flip tomorrow

2 years ago

Overdid the LST on the younger plant. Looking like that one will be 6 main branches. These things happen and it’s probably for the best, considering how big it already is compared to the tent.

2 years ago

Topped for the last time. Will veg long enough to get the new growth spread out and then flip

2 years ago

Spreading out nicely with the LST. About to start spreading the now more established main branches. Topped off the res that had slowly gotten up to 1200 EC. New combined of EC 1227 PH 5.8

2 years ago

Booming growth!

2 years ago

Continuing to LST while waiting to do the final topping

2 years ago

Reacting well to the LST. Just doing a little bit everyday. I can already tell keeping the two even will be a chore. Looks like they’re two distinct phenos when you consider how much bushier the younger one already is and how much better it takes the nutes. Fortunately they’re still pretty close to the same height despite the age difference. Keeping the PH at 5.8 seems to be keeping the burn from progressing. Will aim to keep the EC the same when I top of the res next. Added a couple photos of the auto watering system

Transplanted and moved to taller tent. Fed with remaining 1000EC solution at 5.8 PH

2 years ago

Burn seems to have stopped. Leaves looking less droopy and picking up more color. This strain seems to prefer a lower PH. Continuing at 5.8. Will pot up soon and up feed strength

2 years ago

Curling and some burn still not getting much better. Dropped humidity to 60-65% and PH to 5.8

2 years ago

New growth looks good but still getting some burn on the older fan leaves even after adjust temp/humidity. Dropped EC to 991 PH 6.0

2 years ago

Topped both today. EC 6.0

They seem to have done well with the transplant and move to the tent. Temp and humidity remaining favorable with the new humidifier. Switched to early veg mix today. EC 1100 PH 6.1

2 years ago

Transplanted into 1/2 gal pots and moved into the tent with the big light. Left the light high and adjusted the dimmer to achieve 23K PAR, just a touch more than the fluorescent light. Applied the rest of the seedling blend at 1040 EC 6.4 PH

Both seedlings are coming along. The older one has small roots coming through, but will still be kept in this container for at least a week. Hopefully the younger one will be ready to size up at the same time. Too humid @ 90% trying to vent the dome more to bring that down. EC 705 PH 6.3 EC 751 PH 6.4
