HBCM smoke is fantastic at this point. Really enjoying it and while not the most potent it has a nice deep kick to it thats last a long time. The 3 plants totaled out at just under 350grams. Pretty small yielder.

The BFT is still drying but looks like it will be almost double the yield or slightly more

Sorry about the life problems bud.

Just wanted to comment that maybe they would yield more with some training and canopy leveling. I usually run something a few times before knowing the best way to do it.

Seed growing is fun and offers variety but only one shot at potential. Thats why i dont cut up new seed plants. Just bend them if they get too tall and manage branching. Best results i can get without knowing if they like topping.

Yeah i can absolutely say some of it was the grower... lol probably more than I have considered. The BFT kinda shocked me on the yields though. They really blew up at the end.

All of them looked pretty blown up. And 3+ oz from a new plant in a group is no small thing.

Just smaller than I'm used to even for new plants. But I also did not train and scrog like you said and thinking about that its probably the largest reason.

I think the BFT structures were more well suited for the lack of training also.

Definitely some things to reflect on but I'm definitely happy with the quality of the HBCM.

Good to hear man. I've got a couple on the go and one is small but the other is the same size as everything else in the room and seems to be piling on the buds.

Recently tried coco grow in hempi pots. They are called auto pots from uk. You line bottom of pot w 2” of perlite or clay balls and fill it with coco (choice medium) and it bottom feeds from gravity fed res. I took 3 clones of Skywalker at same time,(from my plant) and EVERYTHING was the same from go for all three plants. Feed, media, lighting, Co2, ventilations. I mean everything.
One plant is absolutely best I’ve ever grown. Huge flower for 4 weeks in lush green, beautiful plant the other two are lime green showing phos def(at least to me that’s what it looks like) flowers are half the size. I just don’t understand it. Wondering if you’d weigh in and offer an opinion. I’ll link a video of situation.

That’s day 26 of 12/12. And the bugs in the tent are lady bugs and lace wings. I let them go in tent at beginning of flower as a preventative measure since I’ve learned my lesson with misting plants in flower and mold!
But I appreciate your time and any input you can offer. I was wondering if you have a deeper knowledge of deficiency caused by other toxicity’s. Like this being locked out bc that’s to high type thing?

I literally have the same thing, ive got 3 widows in auto pots, (well one tray and aQuavalve and the 3 pots in it with mylar screened over the tray to keep the nutes out of the light etc) 2 are looking perfect , but one has slightly burned edges on some leaves, with a few spots, and is slowly turning lime green , has to be lock out , Although im not up on it enough to work out EXACTLY what is wrong, ive lifted mine out placed a seperate tray under the pot, but flushed it through with plain ph'd water probs about 40L(3 times my pot size) then once it stopped giving run off placed her back in the tent on the tray and let her dry out a touch, then ive watered again, . this time ill start her on a half feed and just watch, once shes eating fine ill put her back on the auto pot. The only difference is mine are only a couple of weeks into flower, so ive a bit more time to play with than you. Hope you get it sorted, ill be watching for tips myself

Never used hemp pots. Maybe something with the system?

Maybe something with the location of the plants? Notice the fan blowing hard on the 2 with issues this can change plant stress and transpiration rates.

Could be a bunch of this combined. Even though they are in the same tent.

my intake is bang next yo the one with issues. I'll be swiftly pointing that elsewhere, just in case

Tommy626 · Sep 19, 2020

Thanks for the info

Fudge · Sep 19, 2020

Her root zone and pot was surprisingly cold compared to the other 2 so I've pointed my intake along the side of the tray, that should help, actually makes sense as it is colder now, I've found condensation on my intake ducting. I've never had trouble like that before though.

Aquaman We've moved to my thread mate, sorry for the hijacking. I'll post again once she's better tho just for anyone else with same issues looking for an answer, it's a very multi layered thread already thanks

Ok 8 days drying for the BFT. Stems not snapping but going to slow the dry down now but final trim and putting into buckets like the HBCM which was about the same. Both 8 days then into buckets to slow the dry a bit more.

@sshz moisture meter is consistent but not accurate reads lower than i belive they are.

Down to burping the HBCM once a day now and has been 16 days. I'm think about 10-14 more days to get them where I want. They are stinky as hell at this point and much more of a pine with fruit undertones. Absolutely reeks when I open the bucket.

I burp when RH hits 64-65% and move all the buds to a different bucket and seal just to keep things moving. Now its a solid 63% I just give the bucket a couple slow turns on the side and burp once a day. Once they sit 60-62 for a few days straight I will vacuum seal them.

Here is a pic of the HBCM and the buckets I use. These are hack compared to my others but they are veing used elsewhere right now.

I’m a little late to the party so I don’t know what all the abbreviations means but that bucket full looks top notch. Great work bro
Are you using the “auto burp” buckets?

Nope just home depot 3 gal buckets with hygrometers sealed into them. I burp them manually. Can make 5 for like $40 CAD

I made a few out of those buckets, a couple check valves, and a air pump and timer. Close them up plug them in and don’t have to bother them for 40-60 days. (Besides changing the timer for purge times) saw it on YouTube it works fantastic for someone who is as forgetful as myself. Don’t much care for those Cvaults. Rather use plain buckets or jars before those. Never got a good profile using steel

I can send you the link if your interested in making one or two. Basically you can get everything you need from aquarium store

Sure I have all that stuff kicking around.
