I do. Temp is usually 22°C - 28°C during light and 15°C - 20°C during dark (70-80f & 60-70f)
Thanks shed. I seem to be generally pretty dialled in
Question: for how many weeks are you adding the bloom booster? Weeks 3-5 or ?I grow mostly autos in tent - an observation:
I feed them what I think they will need in the next two weeks, so end of veg/early flower is max out on the nutes
Adding flower booster in week three of bloom [instead of week 5-6] makes for earlier budding which in turn gives them more time to nug up and finish nicely [imo]
Just Roy's wibbly-wobbly world of raking jelly up a slide
For 7 days or so, that's allQuestion: for how many weeks are you adding the bloom booster? Weeks 3-5 or ?
TIA
Cool thanks. I believe that’s kind of what I did with the Big Bud. I’ll have to look back and see.
Sounds like a well-considered plan.
Better than any Polaroids I ever took! There are some good quality clip on loupes out there, and I used to do this before I bought my scope off Amazon:
Thanks Shed. That's exactly what I plan on purchasing when funds allow. I've seen people post pics of their trichomes using only their iPhone and I'm blown away. No clue how they do it and I've watched quite a few tutorials for using the iPhone 14 camera. Thanks again!Great idea to keep feeding with that much time left.

Great macro shots for under $10: smart phone not included
Don't make life complicated with mount-on and high power loupes, or one for looking and one for pics! Here is how I do it with a $10 8x loupe and a 5 year old Samsung S4...www.420magazine.com
Now I use something similar to this:

CharlieWaffles…GSC is my favorite strain to smoke, have grown twice. Pulling up a chair to check out your mystery GSC pheno hunt. CheersHi Everyone
This title is us to a tee, my wife and I, haha. She’s extremely lovely and I am definitely the grumpy old man! This will be my second attempt at a journal, the first one crashed and burned. Hopefully a little better success will be had with this one. Please chime in anytime with your thoughts, tips or just in general.
The Grow Room Genetics have graciously gifted us with some free Photo-period tester beans in 4 varieties; East Coast Girl Scout Cookies A, B & C and a strain called Platinum Nancy. These are all fresh untested seeds so we have no idea how they are going to grow. I haven’t even been told what crosses/breeds have been combined to make them. Journal could be a total flop or something amazing. In this grow we will be germinating each of the 3 versions of the GSC. We will also be growing a 4th plant, an Auto-flower Bruce Banner from a different seed bank (can’t remember for the life of me where I got them from). My plan at this point is to grow out the Bruce Banner auto-flower, approx. 12 weeks, with my light schedule being 18/6 and once the Bruce Banner is chopped I will flip the lights to 12/12 to flower the Photo-period plants. I have never tried this before and other than possibly running out of room in the tent I can’t really see the issue. I hope our 420 Family will chime in with their thoughts on this. If the BB-Auto isn’t doing well throughout the grow being in with the photo plants, I do have a 2x4 tent that I can set up and move the auto flower into to get it away from the photo’s if need be. Hopefully this doesn’t become the case. I will be employing Low Stress Training on everything, hopefully this will help keep everything under control size wise and it all fits.

Here we go, September 1, 2023. I did not soak the seeds prior to dropping them into Jiffy Tomato Greenhouse 50mm peat pellets. Two days later, 2 had popped and 2 days after that the other 2 had shown themselves. So far so good. The first 2, GSC-C & Bruce Banner auto, have been moved into their 5 & 3 gallon pots respectively. The other two GSC - A & B will most likely be going into their pots on Friday when I get back home from work. I have a funky schedule in health care so I’m not home every day, hence the reason for my right hand, the Lovely Lady : ) I will not add any nutrients to the ProMix for approx. 3 weeks. I usually wait until I see 4-5 sets of leaves. Just plain water PH’d to 6.0-6.3. Lights are hanging approx. 24” above the pots at 25% intensity for the first week or so then they will be adjusted or lowered accordingly. I use pieces or plywood or whatever is handy under my pots and saucers to keep them from directly touching the cold tent/concrete floor. Temp for now is 20 - 24 degrees celsius, Relative Humidity around 60%.
I know I've missed details. I will be updating regularly, maybe not as often as some, but as much as my schedule will allow. Lots of pics to follow as we go. Again, please feel free to chime in anytime. Thanks for looking.
P.S. Not many pics to start off, they are coming. I will post many more on Friday showing better detail and our setup. They are there in the pots lol, just tiny. I have had great success with planting them in their final pots previously at this stage. Thanks for your patience.
Welcome, to the finish. I cannot wait to harvest this girl. Especially considering that I lost 2 of her sisters to hermie’ing, she’s looking amazing. Thanks for looking in.
Day 124 (yesterday)
If it's not coming down in the coming days I'd go back to feeding as usual!
A sound plan. I really hope when I get back home Friday she’s ready but if not, time for more feed. Thanks shed.
Sounds like somebody's due for a staggered harvest.
Actually I did snip off 2 buds and hang them up yesterday! Even my wife commented on how dense and hard they were, the budsLow RH is great for the end of flower to try to keep the mold away!
