While the Autos are drying in the grow tent, here’s what’s going on with the Photos outside.

The 4Kingdoms is really tall now – much taller than the CBD Critical Mass. Close to double the size!

Are the Photos starting to flower?

Opened the grow tent to fill the humidifier. Very much a hay smell. Nowhere as intense as last year, but still pretty strong. Turned off a couple of the fans. Tent is at low-mid 70s F and 65% RH.

Checked the Autos that are drying in the grow tent. Stems don’t make any kind of crack when bent. Will check again tomorrow. Tent still in mid 70s F and 65% RH.

Stems on the Short Nepali Auto starting to crack. Will start trimming them tomorrow. The BlueBerry Glue Auto is still not ready.

8/3/24
Still extremely hot. Severe thunderstorms rolled thru. At least the Photos got rained on. Horrific migraine prevented me from starting to trim the Autos. Guess it will start tomorrow!

Spent 4 hours trimming the Short Nepali Auto. Had to stop once both my trimmers were so sticky that a normal alcohol wipe down wasn’t enough. Soaked them in a cup of alcohol and will deal w. trimming the Blue Berry Glue Auto tomorrow.

Still not sure I really know what I’m doing w. trimming, but it worked out fine last year, so guessing it will be fine this year too. Big difference this year is that I got a trim tray and a magnifying glass / swing light so I can see the buds properly. Looks like a lot of kief, now I just have to figure out what to do with it!!

Filled four mason jars w. the Short Nepali Auto.

Spent 4.5 hours trimming the Blue Berry Glue Auto. May have waited too long to start trimming and then curing the BBG. The buds seem a bit dry.

The grow tent is now empty. Need to scrub it down, dismantle it, and then move it down to the basement.

Filled 5 mason jars w. the Blue Berry Glue Auto.

Burped the cure jars 2x today for about 30 minutes each time. The difference in smell from the buds this year and last year is amazing! These smell great already while the ones from last year smelled hellish for quite a while.

Kind of shocked at how tall the 4 Kingdoms photo has gotten! I’ve got tomato cages around both photos, but the 4 Kingdoms is way taller than the cage already. What do you suggest to help keep it supported?

Rained on the Photos. Realized that I need to feed them some GeoFlora Bloom (instead of Veg) this week.

POURED w. rain. Photos might be getting too much rain?


8/9/24
Burped the cure jars 2x today for about 30 minutes each time. Humidity is in the low 50% range, so added humidity packs to each jar.

Fed the Photos some GeoFlora Bloom.


Also, THANK YOU for any suggestions / advice! Still a total newbie (2nd grow season) and really appreciate the help!!

Watered the Photos. Really need to buy some stakes to help support them. The storms have given the 4 Kingdom a bit of a lean.

Burped the cure jars 2x today for about 30 minutes each time.

Today is Day 11 of curing. At what point should I reduce the number of times / day that I burp the jars? And at what point should I reduce the amount of time actually burped? I’ve read so many different ideas on this that I figured I should reach out here for info.

The RH in the cure jars was still a bit low, so bought a few more Boveda 62% humidity packs. Hopefully, this will bring them from the 50s to somewhere between 58-62%.

Fed the two Photos some GeoFlora Bloom & watered them.


OK, beyond a rookie mistake. Just realized that I fed them GeoFlora VEG instead of Bloom! How big an issue is this and how long should I wait til I give them the correct GeoFlora BLOOM nutes??

Going forward: Rule #1 – Don’t do Anything when in the clutches of a migraine.

Did you ever get an answer for this?

Dude, migraines SUCK! My wife gets the debilitating kind and I get the “ocular” kind with zero headache. Just cant see shit when it happens.

THANK YOU for checking out my grow journal and commenting! Really appreciate it!

Was suggested that I just switch to GeoFlora Bloom on the next feeding and continue on from there.

As for migraines, you're totally right - they SUCK! Unfortunately, I get chronic migraines. Seems like they hit every day. I've tried probably every medication they have for them. Seems like the ONLY thing that works is cannabis...

Huge lean to the 4Kingdoms. The tomato cage is not strong enough. Tied off the cage to a nearby branch and straightened out the 4Kingdoms. Wow, this thing is TALL!!.
