lower branch broke on one of the plants the other day. It's not as mature or resinous as the canopy, but it will be a nice eary test to see what the abundance of MHC light did for taste.

Two treatments of Azamax and sm90 and they were gone. I was skeptical of the guys grow conditions, and I caught them before I even brought them in so it wasn't that big of a deal.

I cant wait to harvest this tent! No, not because I'm excited about this crop. The plants in veg going into the experimental tent have been on the Nector For The Gods line and are beautiful and massive for only vegging for 3 weeks. In three weeks they went from 7-10" clones to over 3' plants. I think the lack of salts is really letting the microbial life thrive.

Day 54

I just started getting some amber trichomes yesterday(day 53), so I'm thinking I will be chopping down Tuesday or Wednesday(Day 57 or 58). Everything is starting to discolor, since the last two feedings have been just seagreen or drip clean, and the feeding before that was just 1/2 strength base+Full strength overdrive.

I usually dry for at least 10 days if I can help. I use dry nets in a few small tents that are equipped with 6" inline fans each(1 for intake and 1 for exhaust), and each are equipped with a small phresh filter. I then will cure them for 2-3 weeks. The first week I use mason jars, and after burping is not necessary I put them in air sealed chicken bags.

I will not be posting or discussing yield. I will yield my state allowed dry usable weight and that's it....

I'll post final pre-chop pic's tomorrow night and then probably post a few trim pics Thursday. The end of this journal will be a final dry pic with the lab results in 4 weeks.

Damn them nugs look real good
Thanks buddy. I am happy with this crop. The excess blue light really helped with trich production, and they even have a sweeter smell compared to straight HPS or the last- 2 hps 1 mhc run.

Sad that this will be my last run with this strain but my 818 pheno is just better overall, not as frosty but more potent and bigger yielding.

Well I started cutting down Monday night, and am now 20-25hrs into trimming and 75% done. Hopefully the last few branches will be finished tomorrow.

Man those are some lovely looking buds bro!!!! You did an awesome job you know your stuff well. I'd hate to see buds like that leave too but if you got something you love better then by all means run that.

Gotta question for ya. When you first chop and dry do you wait and trim for a few days? I'm just tryna learn some better drying tips. I've always done very well with drying and curing but you can never know enough knowledge. Also after you trim the buds do you let them dry a lil but more or are they going into the jars? Awesome grow bro and can't wait to see your prized pheno!!!

Thanks buddy!

I trim as soon as I cut down, I just find it easier. I gave the whole drying then trim a try and didn't notice a difference.

I am starting an 818 Journal tomorrow. I have a feeling people are going to think im crazy for liking the 818 more, but it's one of those plants where looks are deceiving. It's a real lanky viney bitch, but it smells l so sour you will cry like your cutting onions, when you trim it.
