Thx. I rearranged the flower tent today and threw the auto in there to finish. She is taking forever and I wanted to lower my veg lights for all my new babies. Pics coming later tonight,... or tomorrow if I get too drunk.

Wonder Woman: Root ball
She was transplanted from #1 smart pot on Feb 19th. I think I am going to try drilling some bigger 1" holes on the bottom for drainage and put a double layer of mesh on the bottom also, instead of just a bunch of 3/8" holes like I have now.

I am eager to see the root ball from the Wembley that has been in the #3 smart pot. I am sure they are more effective than my air-pails but they are a pain to spin/move around under my lights or when picking them up to move them to the rain station. I may have to deal with that inconvenience though as I really like how quickly they dry out between rain/feed and how well they prune the roots.

Sugar Black Rose: 14 Days 12/12
These #5 smart pots dry much slower than the #3. It looks like I wont be able to MIR/Feed in 2 separate waterings each week so I am going to employ another variation of the MIR technique. She got 3ga of RO water followed by 1ga of Nutes/Ferts + 9Tbsp of Oregonism in the last 1.25ga. She also got pruned today.


Before pruning

Nute Soup

Pruned

The 3 super-cropped branches are healing up nicely.

Veg box with Auto removed.

Lights out for the flower tent, after their new roomie got moved into the back. I pulled out one floor fan and moved the remaining fans to the front corners near the 400mh so I could fit more of the plants in back under the 600hps while the Wembley and Auto finish flowering.

Wembley: 51 Days 12/12
I am going to try a different harvest method with her. She has now had 2 MIR/Flushes but I added a bit of Sweet Raw to the last gallon of yesterdays flush. She will get at least one more MIR before she is harvested, and I will include more Sweet Raw. When she is ready to harvest/drown I am going to cut half the plant before she gets drown. Then I will drown the remaining half of the plant for 2 days under the lights and 3 days in the darkness.

Il Diavolo [Auto]: 65 Days from germ, 3 days since transitioned to the flower tent.
She has had a lot of nutes because she dried/drank so fast. She had her first of hopefully 2 or 3 flushes before I will chop her. Undecided if I will drown her.

Afghan Kush Special: 5 Days 12/12; 1st pruning in flower.

Kannabia Special: 44 Days 12/12

Flower Box

Burmese Kush: 5 days veg

S.A.G.E.: 2 days veg and already taller than the older BK.

NLxSK: 41 Days veg

Veg Box

The Anestesia and Motavation had some issues with the lower leaves, so they got pruned earlier than normal. It may stunt them a little but they still have lots of veg time to recover before they will be moved to flower.

How much is hash worth per gram, if you took 6 stitches during preparation?

I used 14g and a pint of 91% iso. I soaked for 60 seconds and shook for 60 more seconds, then filtered thru 2x coffee filters. I didnt do a 2nd or 3rd wash this time or use any more iso. It evaporated much faster this time but only just now got around to scraping it 4 days later because of the razor blade incident. I added a bit of baking soda at the end this time to keep it from clumping too much.

Smokin a bowl now, and, well....

She is getting really pale/yellow leaves now after 2 flushes and the buds are fox-tailing even more. I wanted to pull her out for pics today but I am trying to take it easy until my stitches are out.

I am going to go down, hopefully before lights on, in ~36 - 40 hours for the pre-harvest ritual as she hits 56 days of 12/12. I will move her out of the tent and take some pics, then cut the cola's off half the plant and hang them. I was going to trim them before hanging but my finger is still in the splint until early next week. Once I cut half the plant she will go back in the tent and get drown for 2 days, then moved to the dark box with the cut branches, for at least 3 days of dark/drowning before I cut her down completely.

The Auto is FINALLY starting to recede the pistils and will hopefully finish very soon also. The buds are really long and slender with some interesting fox-tailing. I will try to get some pics tonight at lights out of her and the Wembley.

Flower tent in the morning.

Il Diavolo [Auto]: 68 days from germ, 6 days 12/12 tent

Wembley: 54 Days 12/12

Afghan Kush Special: 8 days 12/12
These #5 smart pots dry a lot slower than the #3's. So instead of MIR/wait/Nutes for 2 waterings per week I am going to be using a different technique. She got 2.5ga of RO water followed by 1.5ga of nutes/ferts.

Veg

Burmese Kush (front) 8 days veg; SAGE (back) 5 days veg

Anestesia (left) 28 days veg; Motavation (right) 24 days veg

NLxSK: 44 days veg

SCOB Training #1

SCOB Training #2 a couple hours later

Flower: Lights Out

Wembley: 54 Days 12/12

Il Diavolo [Auto]: 68 days from germ, 6 days 12/12 tent

Kannabia Special: 47 Days 12/12.
The buds are tiny but resin coated unlike anything I grew before. I think she may be a bit root-bound because of my poor transplanting techniques of the past, but not sure. It should make for some dank hash if nothing else.

White Widow: 28 Days 12/12.

LSD: 37 Days 12/12.

Sugar Black Rose: 19 Days 12/12.

Afghan Kush Special: 8 days 12/12

Glad that you are doing a Journal, you have a lot going on. Lovely plants. I lied, I said that I would observe only, but I couldn't help myself.

Thx, as I said before, feel free to post however you want.

I am germing a new seed today. I think it will be another AKS as I have 2 left. I want to run a test on 2 of the same seeds where 1 gets my normal organic nute schedule and the other one gets Sweet Raw, Gravity, SnowStorm, and PurpleMaxx (in dark orange on the attached schedule).
