Thank you both! I am blessed thats for sure. Sadly the density and yield isnt there. Maybe next time lol. Its still gonna be some incredible top shelf smoke.
I always say some is better then None man
At least next time you can do even better right ?

First chop will be tomorrow or the next few days. I picked up some buckets and hydrogen peroxide. How much of the 3% hydrogen peroxide do I add to 19 litres of water? I am just doing 3 buckets. 1 warm rinse, 1 warm hydrogen peroxode, and 1cool rinse.
I don't think it take much I'd say 1/4 ratio to that 19 litres not good at math sadly lol
Well I have some eye candy and a bit of an update.
I gave them some water last night and did a trichome check. We are almost there I think. Starting to see some ambers on a few plants.
I got a few goodies in the mail. A new grey card but I found the old one so now I have two. I also got a wired remote shutter trigger. Finally another set of ratchet hangers for my lights. Everything looks dialed in. Now that we are almost done lol.
The green crack #4 smells like grape crush or grape fanta. #3 smells of pepper and spice as well as the sweet.
Pretty sure I need to run out and grab a few buckets and hydrogen peroxide for the chop n wash.

I'm currently running GC in my lineup. Great strain to grow, very resilient and great producers for trichomes and yield.
BTW this is my first post/comment. Lurker coming out of the dark..? Lol. I've learned a lot from everyone. Special thanks to o PW. .
...Great pics Urb!...the allure of trimming wears off quick...spacing it out over a few sessions is a good idea if you have the time and the girlz are willing to cooperate...cheerz...h00k...

Sure. Are you on the app or on a tablet/laptop/web version.
On the web version you go to the main grow journal section, the journals in progress section, then start new thread. But before that there is a thread on starting new journals. Tells you how to set it up.
Journals in Progress
That is the main page. The “how to start a journal is the first sticky”
I'm using the app. I thought you had to have so many posts or something first...? Thank you in advanced

Its at the stage where I am checking trichomes daily I guess. There are a few small patches of amber trichomes on a few buds but generally mostly cloudy. So they live a while longer.
You don't need a required number of posts to start a journal...50 posts allows voting and entry into contests as well as sending/receiving PM's...cheerz...h00k...

Welcome Topps, hope you got the journal figured out. I will keep an eye out for it. PW is certainly an important member here, supporting everyone, and we are lucky to have him.
thanks hostagecs, good thing I was never about yield or I would be in a RDWC set up right now harvesting my second grow lol. Good things come to those who wait. Better things to those who wait but take action lol.
Things I am going to change for this upcoming round.
- Once the scrog is on, its staying on, I should have left it on. Watering and pruning were a pain with a net.
- I plan on making some form, of ring feeder with a funnel for ease of watering in the scrog
- Water more often. This soil has incredible drainage. Its is almost like coco although I have never seen or used coco. I think I can keep the growth more steady with better timed waterings, especially in this first month.
- Limited aerated compost teas. The soil is rich and full of nutrients right now. I dont need to add anything. Maybe at transplant from 4” to 1gallon pots they could use a bit of biogold on the roots. Then a sprouted seed tea. (Bob where can I order the right kind of malted barley?). No aerated compost teas until they are bushy in the 1 gallon geopots. Another transplant before flower into the 5g gallon and more biogold and seed tea.
- More light. Done. I have the dwarf star and the fusion pro. 400+ watts drawn this time.
- Let them get bigger. Due to height restrictions I was cautious and flipped early. With these indica leaning hybrids I can let them fill the net more.
I am throwing down the guarantee now. I guarantee that these Jordan of the Island genetics will be my best harvest yet. Prepare for a spring blizzard because frost is in the long term forecast.

Dude, they look great! And like they want to be chopped, dried n smoked! Cant be long now. Fantastic work buddy, well done, its been a joy to follow along..Its at the stage where I am checking trichomes daily I guess.

Always good when you can reflect and figure out where you want to make changes. Reflection is a massively important part of our growth as growers.
Best of luck with the chop - I don’t envy you having to spend hours trimming, but the end product is always worth it!

Your girls are looking great UA! I too was checking my TRI's daily like you. What I noticed on mine was the part of the plants I checked most frequently were the highest parts closest to my eye...the most mature-growth part of the plant. Once I started looking around at different height levels of the same plant I began to figure out that the plant appeared to be maturing at different speeds. I'm glad I'm stretching out my flush a little, just to be sure I'm done overall, and for me to get the nute out. For you being organic, I suppose your flush needs are less?
Say I read your water comment above about goals for next grow. Thats a good goal. I bought a water meter thing that I considered junk. Used it once and I could tell. Knowing when to water requires you to know your soil, to the level that you do. For me, when my plants got larger, watering evenly and slowly was a challenge. I ended up creating a drip system driven by aquarium pump in a 5 gallon bucket, and love it. Once the plants get in 5 gallon grow pots, it is a real time save, I can get 4 plants at a time slow-watered in 45 min, while I spend that time pruning leaves.

Thanks USA, Yeah I don't think I need to flush at all but I will be adding straight up water from here on out.
I am going to figure out a new way to water or just order an automatic water set up.
I know, once the plant is secured into the scrog, that it's going to be a real pain. So any way that makes it easier to water is worth looking at.
