Second grow - trying hydro in coco.

[spase]

I'm going to have to work on disconnecting my rooms. I put a bit of the larf into my drying tent, which vents through my flowering room. Now the flowering room is having issues with humidity(I'vebeen just leaving the ac unit on the drying tent and until I needed additional humidity to control the dry it was fine). I can leave the door to the room cracked during the light hours, but at night it still skyrocketed.

I could just vent the drying into the lung room, but I'd need a second ac unit. Maybe in a few months, but that's a bit of cash at the moment.

Here's a pic today. I'll get some trichs later. These are stacking nicely. Now I want to see them get a bit more girth.

Here's today's trichs. I don't think I'm seeing any amber yet. Maybe a tiny little bit.

My microscope isn't working any more. I guess it'll be my phone magnifier for now...

Here's a few phone pics. It's tough to be steady!

A couple from today, still no amber Ican see:

I've been having issues with humidity, so I've been leaving the door to the room open a crack. This morning, my wife turned on the light for 5 or 10 minutes in the outer room. This is 2 hours before lights on. How problematic is that?

The damage is done if there is any. I’ve always been ok as long as it isn’t everyday. Get a dehumidifier. It’s a must for me. Light leaks are an easy way to ruin the whole harvest.

Running perlite helps with a few things. I run a volcanic rock as well. If you do any inoculating, it gives a place for the spores and nutrients to develop, helps with drainage, and what would it hurt? It's cheap to use.

I've got about 30 percent pearlite. I've got a dehumidifier in the room as well. I might need a bigger one.

Plants flower with 14h light no problem

I tape my loupe to my phone, works good.

Anyway still looking good

Smoked some larf I removed a week ago. Taste could use some work, but it stoned me ok.

I'm starting to see amber, so I'm moving to the final nutrient mix. I should be harvesting some time in the next weekish.

I see a lot of clear, some cloudy and a little amber.
I'm expecting to harvest in the next 3 to 8 days. I might take one and leave the other a few days. They're pretty close to identical. One had an extra week on the other in veg.
Their mother is sharing a pot with a very yellow bunch of mushrooms.

I'm not sure the amber is really there. These did harvest at week 6 and then again 10 days later on my last grow. That was also my first grow. It was in soil, and my watering was probably not prefect. This is hydro and the watering is perfectly regular. I'm guessing I stressed it out a bit and it matured quickly.
Anyways. These are still looking good. I'm putting a little nitrogen back in. I think they might need a little longer than originally planned.

There is still quite a bit of clear. Mostly milky. Not quite there yet in my opinion. I would go until you physically see more amber/ milk. Nice job though.

That's what I'm doing, but I'm basing timings off my last grow and it seems to be going longer.

Here's today's Pic:

Here's today's trichs. It's getting closer.

The next few grows will be these plants;
The big one is the Skywalker, as is the clone. The seedling is a Hella Jelly.
