Magicbear's June 2020 Indoor Soil Grow

[HunterHunt]

Yea I completely understand that. I like 2 soil plants in a SCROG under a 600 watt HPS. I usually have my net fairly high especially in 5 - 7 gallon pots and it usually is easy to water. If you are going to do more plants it may be more difficult. Here is what my scrogs usually look like to give you an idea of what you can accomplish with a SCROG and being able to easy water:

Yep looks great but how big of tent/room is that? Also looks like you have trimmed up the bottom a lot.

This here is a 4 X 2-3ft room. I still use the same setup in a 4 X 4 tent as well. Yea the bottom leaves usually naturally fall off like this due to lack of light. I dont do much trimming other than skimpy growth under the net.

Keep in mind if you have a 4 X 4 tent you dont have to fill the whole tent up. Your yield will be relatively the same whether you run 5 plants or 2 plants with the 600 watt. I always found it to hard to get to the back row of plants when filling the tent in a 4 x 4 anyway. Ive stuck to the 2 plants side by side for the longest time now, or just a single plant. Either way its looking good and you can try different methods on next grows to find the method you like best.

@HunterNitro Well did a whole lot of research on SCROG and I pretty sure I will try it.
I have 3 Jack Herer seeds I got free from Seedmans and also 3 Bruce Banger. I have to
which I will use for this experiment. The Jack has been recommended as a great candidate but
not sure about the Banger. Ok it is settled I do like Jack did a small harvest of auto plants
last December! Can't wait to enjoy everything that's going to happen with Fem strain.

That is it for now. Out of town company coming tomorrow plus plants need feed. By the
way I have been keeping up with your Journal and the White Widow I just Harvested last
May one plant was way lighter green color than the others and the best buds smoke of the
bunch. So good luck with Grow and keep on keepin' on. Thx for your advise. 3 plants in a
scrog triangle for me.

Oh my keeping company occupied and plants happy filled my days! Last evening with
some needed help after a just watering I defoiled all the plants of the huge fan leaves
and dying leaves way lower on all branches. Boy it sure does look different. We hooked
up some yoyo's on one plant with the tallest branch/cola 53". I have more yoyo's if needed.

Now is the time to really fatten up those buds. Also I will be adding some BlackStrap
Mollasses to my nutrient schedule. Might just sweeten up those supposedly sweet Gelato
Buds. I will put up some pics of the newly trimmed plants.

Looks good

I really need to make a post to bring everyone up to date. All the plants are doing great.

No sex problems YES all the girls are Virgin!! Holly shit I am HIGH. Anyway used
all 12 of my first order of YOYOs so got 12 more and used 2 of those so far.

The plants will be 7 weeks in flower tomorrow; that is GL#1 the rest are 5 and 10 days
behind. That means 2 maybe 3 weeks before first Harvest. The buds are so so so
sticky on GL#1 that when I attached the YOYO my fingers were glued to the plant.

I did take a bunch of Pics to keep you all Happy. I am feeding/watering every 3 days with
1 gal for each plant. Nutrients are all Fox Farm as is the soil. ENJOY!! OH
Have a cookie (infused with cannabutter Snicker Doodle)

 

[oldsmokey]

Looks good cookies yes please.

Did a test on GL#1 and GL#2 to check on the trichome levels. I just snipped
off a small sugar left at the top of the tallest cola on each plant. GL#1 was
mostly cloudy and GL#2 was cloudy with 1 or 2 starting to show some amber tones.

I will try to get some pics but never took pics of trichomes before; trial and error!

 

[Magicbear]

My efforts and getting pics of trichomes failed! I have several devices I have
purchased over time that work very well at viewing trichomes. I took some
sample cuts off the tallest cola from GL#1 and GL#2 and the results that I
observed were cloudy with a little amber! BOOM!! Time for a Harvest.

I invited two people to the Party to help me out. One person has trimmed with
me before and she does a great job (my student). The other person has been
helping with this grow and he now gets to learn wet trim.

Last Monday I took a small lower branch and put it up to dry! After 4 days the
stim snapped right of the main! The buds on that branch found their way into
my bong throughout the day! We did managed to trim 10 big Colas;
some from each plant! Now I have two shorted plants that can mature for about
5 more days before we Harvest again. Then in 10 days we can move our
attention to GL#3 and GL#$ which were planted 10 days beyond GL#1.

I have a lot of pics including colas drying in my garage which over time I
found out it was naturally very good for a huge dry room. This AM it was a temp
of 67* and humidity of 45%. We all know 60--70 for temp and 40--50 for humidity.
Hope fully the pictures will tell a fun story of my fun day doing a fun thing.

Thanks HunterNitro The biggest Cola weight wet was 3.5 oz Bunches of buds.

 

[HunterHunt]

Wow you are killing it! Looks like some good stuff. I need a taste test!

 

[Magicbear]

Tastes like ice cream desert and the high is great

 

[oldsmokey]
