Rastadreds return.

The SOG clone that were under the leds are done drying [today makes the 7th day] Time to trim and cure!

Well all trimmed and ready for the cure! Any guess on weight? Btw my last harvest....which i failed to conclued came out to be 0.45 lbs or 7.7oz! I cant wait to see the big tents yeild!






Can anyone guess how much?

No i am yet to try those actually. I just rely on my experience to know when to start the cure. Been doing pretty good. Those went in the jar and since yesterday humidity is at a constant 65% so not to bad. But i would love to give those a try one day. Any experoence with them yourself?

They are great as long as you slow hang dry them first. The 62% packs basically guarentee a perfect cure WITHOUT burping the jars.

I can not stress enough though, people who use them to speed dry bud will ruin their crop.

spped drying is always a bad idea...i go for 7days minimum at about 70degrees and 55-65 percent humidty

Well things are coming along nicely...looke like these babies have passed the stretched now as we are in week 3. I am still currently under the 400watt metal halide and will be switching to my 600hps as inwill have enough canopy then for 600watts. Rule of thumb a 600watt light can only support 600watts of plant. What is 600 watts of plant? Well for that ammount of light you need a 4x4 canopy about 1.5-2ft deep. Your veg should always be half your flower. Therefore making your final stahe being that of like the 6th gear in a car. 'You cannot sit in 3rd gear and expect to slam it on 6th and be the fastest'. Therefore the forst 2-3 weeks i allow them to stretch under the 400watt mh. Then in the 3rd-4th week i lower my light around a foot...alowinf it to be 3-4 ft away increasing my lumens. [This is my said '5th gear] once i start to notice the stretch period end and the flowers start to pack on. I then switch to my 600watt [6th gear] and push the light back to 4-5feet away.

Its all about the canopy [ and node count going into flower] relevent to the wattage of light used!! And keeping them green!


The sour deisel clones, two triple cheese seedlings, and the ayahuasca seedling are coming along just fine!


Everyones happy and reaching and flowering and couldn't be going better!


As you can see the canopy has filled in just fine!


Nice deep and thick canopy!



Notice how thr canopy is as even as possible...this will ensure that apl the tops will fatten up nice.

Also notice how far away my light is...number 1 problem with growers is to much light! As well as overwatering...too many nutes. Just to name a few.


Some tops!



A flower...if all goes well it will fill in to be a fat bud!



Notice the size of my canopy. How full and deep it is. Making sure to be enough plant material to sustain my final flowering light. Also see how close the trellis is to the pot? The idea is to keep it low...top early, and supercrop, lst, top often! No time was wasted on this veg. Making sure to fill my tent in optimal time. Nedt time i may go with 3 more plants to fill the space in less time.



Well its bed time for me!
Blessins!

Some sour desiel bud shots.

Today marks week 4 of flower. I have survived the stretch and the canopy has remained full and even and healthy! Today marks the first day of my 600watt hps flowering bulb and the first feedings of pk boosters and switching to flowering nutes. Heres some shots of the ladies!

Well i grabbed myself a new bad ass hood today! Got my temps way more regulated now with this cool hood! She was pricey but worth it!...just need to grab more 6inch ducting and im good to go with carbon filter!

I just fed...they tend to droop first few hrs after feeding

Well things have been going great as we are around week 6 into flower. I ran into a bit of nutrient burn when trying to fix what i thought was a deficiency but in fact was a lockout. Things seem to be back on track as the smell of my garden is much less and her deep green has started to come back.

Heres some canopy and bud shots!











So my triple cheese and Ayahuasca Purple from Barneys Farms are coming along nicely in the veg tent.

Triple cheese



Ayahuasca Purple. Love how purple she is in the main stem! [Still havent figured out if tje red/purple in thr fan leaves are deficient or genetic]
