Everything is down and drying. I heavily used beneficial bacteria throughout the run to boost nute uptake and deal with any root zone pathogens, so i ran an H202 solution this morning to kill off any residual bacteria before pulling my roots. Pumping out the flush solution everything was clear and clean smelling. I put a litre of 29% H202 into the 50 gallons of RO water and ran it with aeration for about 6 hours before draining.

At the drain out i found a cloudy epicenter that had a vinegary odor; root rot had been controlled but not eradicated. Next run i'll rethink using Delta blocks and just put my rapid rooters straight into hydroton filled netpots; top feeding until the roots hit the nutrient solution.

My inline MagDrive drain out pump also started making that running dry sound after the H202 solution was put in so i'm not sure if there's a clog in the UC drain-out line or i let the pump run dry during the flush change out. I'm trying to avoid getting that solution on my floor and wondering if anyone has a way of priming an inline MagDrive pump?

Here's one of the small just trimmed buds, off a mid level branch;

Nice, what do you think you'll get dry weight?

Not sure, root issues took a toll and i'm a piss poor judge of what something will dry out to.

As a personal use med grower weight has never been a big consideration for me beyond having enough to last till next harvest. Ran out of space on ceiling cord and had to flip open a drying rack.

Smells nice and fruity, even after olive oil and soap the smell lingers on skin.

The harvest is definitely underwhelming, but the smell/taste of the dry bud is very nice as is the effect; i'm prone to paranoia and there is very little. The few times i've had some i've found it beneficial for pain and my wife has been quite content to use it for her pain for the last few days. My wife and i have both had chronic pain for a while, so it takes an effective strain to make an impression (on her).

While the upper bud was nice and dense, further down it gets a bit less dense and the branches stack more like a sativa dominant plant than indica; although it ripens within an indica time frame. I've got some in outdoor bags filled with living soil, to see if they do better and if so, i'll run them again indoors. Without a doubt, my harvest related issues are due more to my mistakes than the genetics; and, without the help of the community the results would have been far worse.

I'll weigh once it's cured a month or so, but that will be tops weight as i passed along my mid-plant down branches to a buddy who helped me get the roots out without making a mess.
