Yktind - Aeroponic Continuous - The Legend of SWOG and SNOG

Well it is update time. I have been pretty unmotivated lately and thinking about giving up growing for a while. I guess I have been feeling the pressures of life. Whatever got through that shit and feel a bit more grounded today.

Good news is the Skywalker OG is just about done. I figure day 65-70 or so. Some buds are fully done but the overall look of the plant is that it needs some more time. Next Wednesday will be a complete 2 week flush.


Quick Recap
GH Series Nutes
Gro, Micro, Bloom, Kool Bloom, Plus, Nectar and will be adding Snow Storm on the next batch.

PPM = 328 (Tap Water)
PH = 5.7

So on the upside of things I did do a hash run that I am pretty happy with. I haven't tried any yet but it smells amazing (this is the first time I have cured Hash).

Trying to decide if I should press or not. But I'll probably just leave it.

The 73 came out like sand same texture and everything. Now that it has been curing a little it sticks a little better but crumbles very easily.

The 45 is much stickier and stays together.

Both smell exactly like the plant (Green Crack)

Looking real good, keep your head in the game once your done with the run...sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor

Looks perfect! Like light brown sugar


I made mine into a Frenchy Cannoli and then a temple ball - Mulanje Gold 73 micron:

I feel u bro. Its my first time in hydro and I'm having hell. I seen the other guys have better luck with no meters then me. I'm using Fox Farm. That's probably the reason. That and I was using well water that had a high pH of 12 since January. But this is a trial and error process I guess and I'm learnin. Thanks everyone for the help

Damn! 12! That is bad! Mine is 8 out of the garden hose.

Ay send me a ball of that..lol I never tried it..lol...
Well I got strips waitn for a meter..

Well I feel better this week. I was going through a I'm not where I want to be in life thing. But I realized I am exactly where i am supposed to be. Just gotta keep grinding away.

Anyway Update time:


PPM = 330 (Plain tap water it starts about 250 and goes up over two days)
PH = 5.71

Yesterday was the mark for 2 weeks of flushing. So I started it a little to soon because the buds aren't quite done.

Some more great news I was smoking some of my hash yesterday... (well everyday since I made it) and it burns into a nice fluffy white ash. Very smooth hit as well. Doesn't have as much taste as I thought it would but that could be because I haven't pressed it yet.


Veg Room is ready for the flip. I am waiting on a couple more clones to have bigger roots and then the SNOG (Mystery 80/20 Indica/sativa) will be ready for the veg chamber.

I will also be making some upgrades at the end of this run. I have redo the watering system. I probably make a second net as well. All of my heavy tops are laying over sideways and I have been to lazy to pick them up every single day.


Here are the pictures:




Whats funny is that I couldn't get my flower room over 950 without burning them. Meanwhile my veg is over 1250 PPM. Just have to condition them I guess. They are the exact same plants.

I was 47 when I finally got to where I wanted to be. It is a long road but it is well worth it

I know the feeling. It's despairing to wake up everyday energized to make a difference, and to be held back, or to be unable to achieve all the things you desire as fast as you'd like.
But such is life. We have to give it our best shot everyday, and keep working hard now, so that our future selves can have it easier later on =)

I read an article about how the people in the good positions have worked a long time to get there and won't relinquish the position. Now I am finally at that position and I plan to be here for 20 more years so all the 20-somethings must wait their turn. I did

I do love mentoring the young people, and every once in a while I meet a person that I want to groom as a replacement.

I love that philosophy!

I'm 23 and working hard to get to such places =)

Just watch me. =)

Just don't get bummed when it doesn't happen quickly. I was very depressed in my early 30s because I expected it all to happen quickly. We even started our own company and it still took forever. Self employment sucks when you try and get loans.

Thanks for the encouraging words guys.

This week is finally here... Harvest Week!!!!!

I am going to let them hit day 70 and then start taking them down (Wednesday). They are currently in all dark (Still not a 100% sure this has any huge benefit but it seemed like the right thing to do since I started my flush about a full week early. Any way will have the harvest pics as they come.

It's working again! I hope you post those harvest pics!

Sweet the "like" button works again.

Harvest went well. The flowers are very different looking more sativa like columbian gold features. Very stretchy. Its hard for me to describe but if you have ever seen columbian gold flowers they are not very pretty.

I have some stuff to do today but will try to get the pics up this afternoon. I should be right around 8 - 11 oz.

Took everything down at day 70. I won't bore you guys with a long winded post so here are the pictures.

There is a picture of the room. You can see where I broke a plant in half in my move last year. Healed up nicely.
