I love the pyramid shape to them
. Nice crystal. Now you have a good stash! Tag me when you start your next grow please.
Wow beautiful delicate yet chunky buds
Im not sure, and shipping may jack the price up, but if it comes from a wharehouse to your door thats probably not much different than coming from a wharehouse to a garden center and then to your house.
I really like the ease of bottom watering but I found out this winter through trial and error that some top watering to push nutes down, calcium being the big one, makes for far better plants, so as always, the best way lies in the middle. At least for cloth pots and LOS.Itās more about being able to see where itās been sitting and being able to look over the bags before purchasing I guess. Some stuff I want to put my hands on before I buy and itās a bit tough to relinquish that control. I donāt even like flying because Iām not the pilot
Yep. Itās some sort of false hope on my part that at the nursery or grow store I can see where the bags have been sitting. Never mind that it may be sitting out in the sun from its point of origin lol.
I like the SWICKs and SIPs but watering to me is an intimate part of the grow. Itās where a connection is made from me to the plant. It also gives me an excuse to spend time with the plants lol.
Once the clones start running though Iāll start the SIPs. I think itāll be a great way to place a control on the watering and allow me to push the genetics.
Ok. Now. If I do come over to look. Now I don't want see this as first dang pic. Lmao. Holly crap. Lmao. Jk. Now. Just dang lmao. First pic pops up . Pour thing. Look like got hit with baseball or something.So my original answer to @Melville Hobbes post was itās one of two things, one more likely than the other.. The more likely is itās just scarring like you see here:
What it looks like to me based on the support behind it in Melās original picture is that the plant fell over or got smashed against the soil line creating the scarring.
The other option is the plants natural hook that sits below the soil line got pushed up above the soil line and the plant adapted by building up scarring in that spot.
The much more unlikely cause would be root nodules being pushed above the soil line. Microbes and myco forming a symbiosis with the plant and forming nodules to protect each others transfers. This is extremely unlikely to have occurred as the nodules usually appear in the roots themselves and/or the taproot.
Based on what the photo shows Iām leaning strongly toward a weak stemmed plant or a plant that got crushed that has formed scar tissue.
If there are no other issues presenting themselves then itās extremely likely this will just be a pretty strong point on the plant. The herm I tossed out as flower started had a scar growth like that from messing up its LST in seedling and it grew amazingly until it showed itself
They fluffy or how they feel to u . I'm looking for something to cross like that style nugs. To fluffy for meOk sorry this post took so long to make, real life stuff.
So our official weights and smoke reports are in.
Plant number one, the shorter sativa weighed in at 3 ozs. Technically 90 grams. This isnāt bad considering she hermed and by the looks of her she hermed early on. She has only a light scent and itās quite apparent she didnāt really kick in her resin production. The taste isnāt really there but the smell is okay. Sheāll get you high and the smoke is smooth but sheās definitely the lowest quality. Iāll let her cure for months before going back and hopefully sheāll have gained some extra oomph by then.
The second plant, the short indica, weighed in at 3 ozs. Technically 94 grams. This one also Hermed, but later on. She was able to grow long enough that she has a strong funky scent that is unmistakably Cannabis lol. More of an indica lean to it the high is very clear and very chill. I like it a lot. Itās a nice easy and smooth smoke with some very pungent notes. I like this harvest the best personally. Itās not aggressively high and has a great taste.
Plant number three. The tall sativa. This plant did not herm. It did get slightly pollinated but just barely, Iāve only found 2 seeds out of the entire 6 ounces it produced. Yeah, 6 ounces, 170 grams. I was shocked by this plant. I was expecting maybe 4-5 ounces based on its look but the buds were much heavier than I realized.
The buds are super sticky and dense. I went to weigh out a gram and couldnāt find a bud that weighed less than 2 grams. The smell is powerful and sweet, it gets deep into your brain. As I was putting it into the jars for curing it already seemed like it was ready. I waited a week for it and rolled a joint. Just like the other plants there was no tickle in my throat or chest, completely smooth. However, the flower is so strong that as I was inhaling my first hit I could feel the high wash over my entire body. By the second hit I was being hit in the forehead with that powerful sativa high. The quality is at least double, maybe triple of my first harvest and is getting stronger by the day. This plants flowers are the kind where I hit it once and set it down to see how itās gonna grab me. Itās a little strong for my taste but my wife loves it.
So all in all I was able to get 12 ounces from the 3 plants in 3 gallon pots. This is a good result that I am pleased with.
Now, due to the herming I made a few changes to really dial everything in. I moved anything with an LED or light outside of the tent. I have sealed off anything that would allow light in from the outside. Since everything else is squared away, I am confident this will be the last issue on my side. Going forward, any herms will be genetic, hopefully.
That concludes this grow. I will drop more pictures in of the finished product later on once I have better lighting.
I am preparing for the next grow now. I will be running at least two 15 gallons, maybe four, it will depend on supplies. I will also likely run a few 10 gallons or drop down and run more 7s. I have quality genetics for this next grow. Blue Thai from The Rev, Apple Betty and Runtz Punch from Herbies. I also have Gelato Autos which I havenāt decided what Iām going to do with yet. I am currently in the process of looking for a semi decent potting soil so I can start cooking up the next batch. I want to have the grow up and running by July 16th so I will be starting another journal relatively soon detailing the cooking and preparation process as I setup for the next grow.
Thatās all for now. Thank you to everyone that came back and to all the people who stopped by for this grow. Hopefully the next journal will be even more fun and filled with even more knowledge!

What was the difference?
I use a soldering iron
