Wow! Do you have enough room in there?

I do not.

Hey G I have a question about the pollen timing for introduction onto my SFVs

Have i missed the window to get that pollen on them? I flipped April 15th-19th (couldnt pin down the exact date). The sfv’s seem to run a little longer overall if that helps.

Thanks brother!

I've found that pollinated branches always stay alive long enough to mature seeds, doesn't matter week one or week eight. You can't harvest the rest of the plant at the ripeness you want and leave anything with seeds.

Excellent! Thank you for that info! Yeah I’m going to go toss some on two specific plants! One super pine smell and the other has a berry scent already.

Thanks G!

I know cheese pretty well, we had it here on the streets 15 years ago, but never grew one myself, wondering how they smell?

They stink. Almost more like a rotten garlic smell it's hard to place. It's funky and loud.

Some interesting observations on the UVB today:

The side of the plant closest to the fixture has lost its shiny, over fed N look while the other half remains the same.

Younger leaves, in pockets of low air movement, burn faster than those closer to the light with better circulation.

Visibly, I can't tell much of a difference in trichome density, but the buds under the UV definitely have more of a "greasy" feel to them, while the ones away from the light feel more "dry"

I wasn't expecting any burn tbh so I raised the light another 6", moved the fan and kept the exposure length the same.

Furthest away from the UVB

Directly under

Crispy fried

Probably a good idea to also mention that I bumped them from 1000 to 1200 umols a few days ago after the initial dimmer fix.

I'm getting like 700 on buds furthest away

Now we're cooking with gas!

Hey brogrow noticed something last few days. The widows are pumping up and house has been smelling fine. With a recent weather situation being cool and stable I have been able to keep the temp under 75 instead of 78-79.
The smell is still there but only in the tent and a bit next to the carbon filter. Looks like the studies on terp boil off are correct just a few degrees makes a difference.

Amazed at how you do that grow with all the rule violations of " proper" guardrails and specifications. Should not work or blow up or something but you have adapted your system to what you have to work with.
**** 4 stars would read again.

I don't break rules, I just push the envelope sometimes. I've been doing this long enough that I know what I can get away with. Most growers baby their plants and fuss too much. Cannabis responds to stress with the things we want most from it, more trichs, more terps, bigger yields etc ..

And as for the terp "boil off" thing, my numbers are good. Here's the trace from the last month. Extremes? Yes. Same as they would experience in the great outdoors. Have I sacrificed some quality to get a grow over the line on occasion? Also yes.

You also won't usually see me whack my plants with 1200 umols without CO2, but if you've been following, this run was underpowered until now, and I'm trying to make up some numbers in the yield department.

I also have noticed this trend, mostly in my own tent.
I fuss and worry.
I am very restricted on the new sprouts cause it takes an hour to get back to 79 degrees after opening the tent.
And they are doing fine.
Cept the stick with an eyeball. That's messed up.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it and if it works, leave it alone. Jim you're grows are very nice now read the previous sentence again. @Grownsince95 is a master of the first sentence, keep doing what works and pushing until you find that spot where it don't then fix that only.

So the closest monster has the benefit of all the CO2 in the bedroom with us and 3 cats and sits from 700-1000 most of the time. That plant has grown into the light with 2000 umols at the top and 900 on the lowest buds.

This plant has an average DLI of 80-100 broken up into two 40+ events on a 9/3 cycle. A few crispy leaves here and there but beautiful, healthy pistils and really loud terps.

Dr Bugby wasn't kidding when he said cannabis was like it was from another planet when it comes to DLI, no other plant comes close if you give it the right conditions.

Yes sir! As long as on the other variables are being pushed with the dli. Looking incredible in there!

I got impulsive and removed the net. I want to be able to rotate the plants and have better access yadda yadda yadda...

It had served it's purpose anyway.

Have you seen @gmonster714 s floating cage/net thingy? I really like that you can take the plant out of the tent with it on and it keeps everything in place. Now, I haven't personally used it yet, but it looks cool.

Yes I have and they are really cool!

Got some autos to try out courtesy of @SeedSupreme

Black cherry punch and Hawaiian snow
These will be the next closest runs.

The closet creature has just finished 28 days of flower. She stacked up really nice but I want to give her a little relief from the light now. The only thing I can do to lower DLI is add hours of darkness, so I did just that!!! She's on an 8/4 on/off schedule now.

That looks... just wrong.
They look like they're jocking for position under the light. LOL
