This means he knows more than most but not an expert/professional ! Lmao

As embarrassing as it is these are the 3 BFT left in flower... hahaha I have never staked, twined, scrogged or done such a half ass job on a grow. Shits everywhere and one pot actually had fallen over when they were almost dry because they are leaning so much.

Well without further ado here is the mess.

Somehow they powered through not to bad... just the piss poor upkeep of the grow that looks bad so yeah thats a positive lol.

Took some pics with the lights out to show the difference in bud size. See the back right HBCM. Small buds but look very good. The other 2 HBCM ar the 2 middle plants.

The BFT seem to be a much higher yielder. But im in love with that 1 pheno with the tiny buds. Looks, smells great and has nice trich production. Unfortunately its a small yielder.

How come the small one in the right is a pheno and not the middle? Is the smell and trichomes production not as good? Im just reading up on phenotypes now

I'm not well versed on this. The one your asking about has smaller trich covered buds smell of all 3 seem the same. The color expression and trich production are what make it my favorite but have not smoked it yet.

Haha thanks brother.

HBCM after about 28 hrs darkness. The purple has gone so dark its almost black.

Ok 2 BFT in the dark for 48 before chop and 1 still going... started drying in my basement temps 65 and humidity 59% lol pretty dam good but my god does this house reek. May be a benefit the wife is not back until next week as I think she would kill me. Once the last BFT is finished I can stuff em all in there to finish drying.

Decided to try this out and see how she goes. More for curiosity than necessity but thinking I can kinda pluck buds as they are ready and overall give me some numbers to keep track of when trying different things. Yeah I know sounds like an excuse for a new toy... your not wrong lol.

Throw that piece of junk in the trash....... LOL

Lol been there done that?

I'm honestly not to worried if its not calibrated for cannabis more so that it gives consistent readings just so I have some usable reference. To try a few different things.

Hey Aqua, I finally bought a middle of the road lux meter- somewhere I know you posted a chart you use for seedlings on up , I can’t find it? Lol if ya have it handy would ya post it again ? I know there’s others out there but I don’t know what to believe sometimes , lol

How much did you spend??? I've seen them in the mid $200's for the cheap one's all the way up to over $500........... I'm looking for one but to me, it's not that important enough to spend $500 for.

From memory, I believe it was like 8-15k for seedlings, up to 40k for veg (work up), up to 60k in flower. Think those are non co2 numbers.

I wonder how close I am. Find out when he sees this lol.

For non elevated co2 (400ish ppm)

Clones 5k

Seedlings/rooted clones 10k

Veg 15-45k start at 15k and increase by 3-5k every few days to a week based on plant response. You will find they usually kinda grow into the increased intensity. Some strains can go faster or slightly higher by end of veg

Flower 45-65k again start at 45k and work up every few days. And again some strains may handle slightly more as these are pretty safe numbers. With my co2 at 1200ppm I can hit 75-80k on some strains I have grown.

Just a guide but should get you pretty close.

Did any of you guys ever try those mini round or square Hygrometer's ? its like 20 bucks for 5 of them. Are they any good ?

Yup i use em. I have like 15. The round ones you can use a hole saw and seal em in containers. Next time I do one ill take pics. Pretty close to accurate.... test them against my inkbird. These are the exact ones.
