Second grow - trying hydro in coco.

[spase]

I've pushed to the last nute mix. I'll be harvesting probably next weekend, unless she insists to be pulled earlier.

I did also add a set of uv side lights. I'm hoping it helps even out the under buds. It's got a manifold, so there's a good "lollipop", but it's got a lot of leaves.

Here's today's pictures.

The cure on my Indica grow is finally paying off. I'm into the last ounce now and the grassyness is finally gone. There's a definite limoninesmell to it now. The taste is still very light. I really noticed because the early buds I pulled off the Skywalker no longer smell better.
I'm looking forward to the Skywalker harvest. The buds are getting huge. All the main colas are strong, but I'm holding up some of their branches with some bungee cords. They are looking rather nice!

Pulled another branch of the Skywalker. It's about 15 or so inches long. Looks like a solid half.

It's getting close. She's got 80 percent cloudy. No real amber on the buds yet, but some on the leaves. The buds are looking crazy.
I've got a bud cut off a week ago that's pretty stony. I'm hopeful this is going to be a great smoke.

Here's a pic.

I like this picture.

First issue in a while. I found a leaf that looked bad when I rotated the plant. I cut it off. It looked like there was the start of mold. I checked the bud it was coming out of and there was some browning on the sugar leaves and it looked a little extra gooey. Not in a good way. So I took that little bud off. I trimmed off the weird looking bits and tossed the little bit left in the drying tent. It's just the tip of a side branch, so not a huge loss.

On the bright side - the bud I pulled off is super tight and dense. I think I've grown some dank buds!
My plants don't have a really strong smell, and have all tasted rather mild. Any suggestions on getting the super skunky tasting buds?

Usually depends on genetics. Do a good job with drying them properly, then after a good long cure you'll have the best buds!

I think my drying tent is ready. I've got a bunch of jars. The last harvest dried too fast as my humidifier broke and it took about 2 months to cure. Hopefuly I'll have a better dry this time and the cure will be shorter. Not that I'll stop curing before I smoke it...


I'm harvesting today. I'm not seeing much amber. Maybe just a little. The buds are monsters. Fairly big. Tight and dense. The aroma is getting a little stronger. I'm shooting for highest potency over a little extra volume. I'm still hoping it's 10 ounces or better. I'll be happy with 8.

Here's the last day picture.

Well she's all hung up to dry. I'm not sure how much it'll be, but my tent is pretty full! With as dense as it is it should weigh out nicely.

Nice grow!!

Nice grow!!

Thank you!

The drying with this ac infinity 69pro is so inconsistent. My temp and humidity swing by 60%/degrees. How do we get these things to keep a tight environment?

I use a small oil heater with ac infinity cloud force t3 humidifier and exhaust fan to control my dry room conditions. The t3 humidifier is a very good piece of equipment.

 

[TerpBeans]

I dont have a controller to grow or dry. Usually darkness, oscillating fan pointed to floor, turn the exhaust down to low level. That keeps it steady

I've got the thermoforge ac on it that is supposed to cool, heat and dehumidify plus the t3 humidifier. I'm not seeing how to set it up for all that at once.
