420's Hydro Soil-less Indiana Bubblegum x Darkstar Kush Grow Journal, 2021

Oh! Now I understand the advantage of individual bar lights versus a mounted bar light. A picture tells a thousand words. Great pic.

Yea pretty neat... @Emilya helped me pick them out... I was debating to get two FC6500 and she made the suggestion about having the flexibility to lower each individually... no more propping up plants on buckets

Loving it so far

Does this mean we are off for naked gardening day?

Almost 4 weeks from harvest... contemplating whether to begin flushing or not. I'm going to leave one unflushed because everyone on this site seems to believe I'm crazy for even trying so I want a comparison.

Based on my first grow and looking at your pics you have plenty of time. How do you come by your four more week estimate, seed specs? Just curious how you know. I'd keep feeding them whatever nutes you're using for at least two more weeks. You don't need to flush for four weeks. Ten days is plenty in my humble opinion.

Just judging by the look of the bud at this point as whether or not to flush. I've done 2 week flushes before that did not seem to alleviate the "taste" factor in the smoke so was thinking I should probably just do a 4 week... I'm still deciding

As to how I know when harvest will be... these are clones and I'm just going from past experience with this plant.

Here's a shot of that little Indiana and my Grav

 

[Diatomacious]

Perhaps if I was growing in DWC ten days would be enough... dunno I've always just grown in soil in buckets.

 

[Diatomacious]

Maybe just a few waterings in between... I know that's what MochaBud is doing (he sayeth water, water, fertilize ) and he's got some gorgeous buds.

 

[Diatomacious]

Not too shabby for around the half way point...

 

[Diatomacious]

Some of the hairs are still living

 

[Diatomacious]

No sign of red hairs yet on the younger buds

 

[Diatomacious]

Gaining more of a hash smell these last couple days. No pics of that

Budshot from the little Indiana. About 4 weeks from flip.

I love this pic... Bubblegum really doing her thing... this one came out almost unscathed somehow.

Is that one of God's little angels staring back at me from within my bud?

 

[Diatomacious]

If I grind that up... does that count as angel dust?

Woo hoo... 1K views... silence falls across the land

All right all you non-posting freeloaders (1K views I know you're out there ). Let's hear it... first thoughts.

Freeloader here lol. Thoughts on the red pistils: How often do you touch and squeeze the tops? I remember from our last grow there was this one top in the most inconvenient spot and got brushed by my arm daily. It's pistils turned red long before the rest who didn't get the same mistreatment. Thankfully that bud fattened up just as much as the others right on schedule. Could be something to think about. I still think they look great and will likely swell in the coming weeks.
