Just dropping a lights-on update.

I had to tie up the 5 tallest plants in the back right corner because they were flopping over onto the others, so that's why there's a weird-looking gap between the plants there.

Here are some top-down shots of the almost fully packed tent. The buds are looking good, the leaves... not so much. From a distance it looks way worse than it actually is.

I picked the most burnt-looking bud I could find to show you guys. Honestly, it's not that bad...

That's it for today. Thanks, everyone! Cheers!

Gonna give you guys a little update. I harvested that last batch from the previous posts, and the losses were pretty much zero. It got toasted, bounced back, and flowered really well. lol

I made enough oil to last me a few months, but I’m already running low and haven’t started flowering again yet. I ended up falling a bit behind because money was tight and I couldn’t restock some of my grow supplies (soil, pots, nutes, etc.), so things got delayed a little.

But I’ve got 16 big plants and 4 smaller ones in veg right now, all in 8L pots. The plan is to flip them before the end of this month if possible. Veg takes more hours of light, even at lower power, so it adds up on the electricity bill...

I’m using a mostly inert soil mix with a bit of Carolina 035H mixed in, and feeding with mineral nutrients from GD Scientific (my go-to nute line), supplemented with potassium silicate and leonardite.

My goal now is to run fewer plants per cycle, around 20 or so, but in much bigger pots, somewhere between 20 and 30L. Eventually, I wanna try 40–50L pots and set up a no-till system so I won’t have to replace the soil anymore, just keep it going.

I’ve already run more than 50 plants in a single flowering cycle, but honestly, 20 plants in bigger pots fill up the space just as well, and they’re way easier to take care of...

In the moms and clones bathroom: lots of mother plants. I’ve got some CBD strain selections and other hybrids in the works. I’m gonna test different combinations to find what works best for the oil profile I need, without having to keep so many different strains around. I’d like to narrow it down to just 3 or 4 that cover all my needs.

That’s it for today, folks!
