Re: Icemud Goes LED: Featuring Top LED Grow: Cherry Pie - GSC - OGiesel - SFV OG - UV
Doode!! I was in the exact same boat....I was on the last "table scraps" of my previous grow and had virtually no meds left, I mean I had to resort to buying from a dispensary/delivery and paying there high prices for nugs to get me by for a few weeks. I hate paying dispensary prices and its part of the reason I started growing, because I can grow for about 2-3$ a gram, dispensaries charge 15-20$ gram, huge savings for me. This grow turned out ok for me, but I made a few mistakes which cost me yield, as well as quality. I somehow was overwatering still, even cutting back from last time, and when I pulled the rootballs the other day, there was hardly any roots. So I confirmed that this grow actually would have turned out much better if I would have not overwatered. On my current journal I am switching over to watering more often, but in far less volume. I was feeding each 5 gallon pot about 8-10 cups of water each, maybe even 12 cups per 5 gallon pot, and this was about 1x per week. I think I need to bring it down to about 3-4 cups of water every 4 days, which I think will give the soil more time to stay drier, hosting more oxygen, as well as it will constantly give the girls a fresh drink every few days, without waterlogging the soil.
I also screwed myself by harvesting some of the buds during our dry spell, which dried them way to quickly (about 3 days totally dry) which didn't let the chloraphyl release, and they buds didn't tighten up as much as they should have with a slow burping. So the buds have slightly a more greeny taste to them than they should, but still taste and smell great, they just could have been better. (not all of them but a few of the plants). The GSC turned out amazing in every way and I definitely nailed this one great, but still need to work on a better watering schedule...
Oh well, perfection comes with learning from errors
Yeah, should have plenty of meds until my next harvest, which will be in about 2 months and then there will be a slight gap in my harvests due to my breeding project going on and juggling strains around in tents But... I do have another exciting V-Scrog comming up very shortly here, with a few added surprises.
