Day 50 of 12 12

Things are getting frosty
Another week or so before harvest.

I've been flushing with water for the last few weeks and either today or tomorrow will be the almighty chop. The buds look extremely sticky and frosty, hopefully looking to double last yield.


One thing I'm not that great at is drying and curing the buds... I hung the whole plants last time for 5 days until the outside felt somewhat crispy and then placed them into jars. I realized they were too wet still the next day so I the nugs into paper bags for a couple days until they felt dry enough for the jars.

I cured the buds at 63 percent humidity for 3 weeks and had them drying for about 8 or 9 days at 50-55 rh humidity. After it was all said and done it smelled like hay. Not really sure where I screwed that up but hopefully someone could chime in

Did the almighty chop about 4 days ago.


All in all I'm not that happy with this grow, I was expecting this strain to do a lot better under the new lights. It's still much more frosty and denser than last run with cfls, but this will be my last time growing it.


I also managed to screw another drying job up. I learned that even with a fan pointing away from the buds in the tent the air will bounce off and towards the plant making it dry too quickly.

So now I got about 9 ounces of hay weed. Oh well I have a couple more strains in the works, let's hope round 2 goes better than this.

Bummer! Do not get discouraged though. Try different strains / breeders. I have green crack I like but all ways yields a plant full of smaller buds and i cant get it above 1.3 grams a watt. I have another green crack from a different breeder that does about 1.7 grams a watt. However the smoke on the other is better!

Yeah I'm excited for round 2 I have gods northern lights and copperhead haze for the next subjects. Stay tuned everyone

looks like a small yielder but how does it smoke? Never know with bagseeds.

 

[chib]

Got 6 ounces. A lot less than I expected so I'm done with the strain. It is really nice though, I'm almost certain it's Rockstar kush. Looks bang on to it and the yield usually socks haha.

Also saved the drying process by turning the fans off, the bud is actually starting to smell really dank and kushy. Got them all Jared a couple days ago

 

[CannaFish]

Right on. It looks like good smoke. I have the same light, using it for the first time. Hoping for 1g/w with it.

I'm going to be shooting for the same for the next run, just trying to figure out if I can fit a new tent in my space... I want a 4x2 but I have exactly 4 feet of space, I'm not sure if itl fit after assembly in my area.

 

[CannaFish]

i got a 4x4 that is pretty short. I think its like 60". Its probably too big for the 250 alone but works for me.

You should start a journal

I realize I can't even fit a 4x2 in my space so the only option is to increase the height. I'm currently at 65 inches, think I'm going to modify it to 75 for the extra space.

I will be rebuilding very soon, I have some Copperhead Haze currently in veg which I will be testing out this run.

Might just leave the tent as is for a bit considering how big this new batch gets. But here is 4 copperhead haze and a clone of the same Rockstar kush I grew. I was planning on flowering only 4 so I will choose the best ones of these 5.

I think I'm at about 2 weeks since I planted them, the biggest and the smallest one both sprouted 2 days before the other two. Kind of funny to see how some seeds kick ass and some struggle.

Been a while since I've updated around here. So I've been making the transition to organics. Plants are experiencing some overwatering issues or something else, cant put my finger on it... waiting untill they are 100% healthy before flowering. They are about 2 months old give or take, honestly haven't been able to get these looking good yet. I had re used soil from last grow and they seemed to hate it, up potted from the smaller pots about 2 weeks ago but the growth looks shitty.


I also picked up some 0 18 0 bat guano off Amazon for the flowering phase. Hopefully this is enough nutrients to get by.

Also does anyone else think they look overwatered? I checked ph and it was sitting at 7.0, havent fed anything since up potting.

2 just up potted (18 days ago)

A few days ago (they look somewhat better now)

Should also clarify, I'm giving the rockstar or whatever the hell it is ONE more shot. I think I might have botched the last grow a bit. I do like the taste/flavor if It despite screwing the drying up, I cured it for 2 months starting at 52% humidity and it climbed to 62% after it was finished. The other 3 are copperhead haze which I don't even know anything about, seems similar to the rockstar if you look at the 2 bigger plants.

 

[chib]

So I had 3 of the 4 plants show sex during a 24:0 lighting schedule so i decided to start the flowering cycle.

I over watered the shit out of these plants. They were looking super sad untill recently. I applied 10 mls of bat guano on the top soil of each pot at the start of 12/12. They seem to really have enjoyed it.

Today is day 2 since the 12/12 flip
