Some cheapass amateur bullshit

i use a 40ml conical measure from the chemist for cold and flue medicine i get a few so i can have A in one and B in another one and check they even levels, b4 mixing in
Yeah I had like 5 syringes at one point one for each bottle, but I lost a few taking them back and forth from my other sites, broke one or two forgetting I put them somewhere like a pocket or back of light panels, was real anal about leveling my nutes exactly and keeping my water between 6.2-6.5. After running it a few months you get a pretty good feel for levels and know what "close enough" is. My bottles are getting kinda low and I want to look for a good 2 part line so I'm not to worried about a few drops getting crossed over.
From what I understand you can get away with this kinda shit in soil. Once I get my environment dialed in (mostly just less heat spike in winter) I'm going to go to straight soft medium ( coco or perlite) which is far more sensitive to inconsistencies, and I'll tighten my game back up. Once I get my $ back up I'll get a ebb and flow set up.
I understand why I was taught to do things the way I was, consistency control risk management but, I'm becoming of the philosophy that non water medium reduces productivity inside and organic soil makes life easy outside.
Why am I filling pots with soilds that restrict root growth, and feeding them out the bottle?
If my soil can't feed my plant with rain water it can get the fuck out my way

Forgot to add my Phup last night. Only one of the girls looks upset about but she was a Lil funny already.
Had to bring a baby home from my germination spot so I'm gonna cut the mad one down to comply with my plant count and give the others a good flush tonight just to be safe

Took them off nutes when I cut the first one down. Now they just get sugar water. Starting to get some branch sag. I'll harvest when nug weight brakes a branch, or if I'm forced to bring my Cali dream home

Plant 1 was 69 grams dried and trimmed.
Plant 2 should be noticeably more and better with the extra ripening and 3 is noticeable larger and denser to the feel then 2 is

Took a taste test. Musky and pungent taste. Fairly potent not overwhelming. Nice mild indica buzz relaxing 2 hits was nice and relaxing both body and mind but not debilitating. Can't wait to try plant 3 after a proper cure

Congrats on a nice harvest!
Thank you but I would call it average.
After I trimm and weigh the last of it I will be hitting about 1g/w (OK not great) and about 300g/M²(kinda weak)

If we account for the open space I had could of had 1 more 5 gal pot or 2 3gals call it another 100gs. My light was 16 inches above the top cola, probably could have lowered it several inches and dimmed it down to 200w and got the same results that would put me at 1.74g/w and 420g/M² those numbers sound pretty on point to me.

Final run came to 86 grams bring the total for the grow to 260
260÷240watts =1.06g/w
260÷0.81= 321g/M².
Again I had plenty of extra floor/canopy space and a 16 inch space between light and the top cola.
I do not think topping the smaller 2 plants helped at all or I simply cut it to late
If I was to do this grow over I would run the whole 5 pack in 4 gal pots and spiral train with no cuts and try to push to day 95.

Over all I give this grow a 4/5
Smoke is good but not overly potent. A nice relaxing indica it doesn't put my dick in the dirt but dose slow my roll nicely
Buds are a little lose but nice size and structure.
Plants were on the easier side to care for and tolerate of inconsistencies.
Aroma is a little lacking the musky cheese smell is there but also a bit of that beaster hay smell.
Like the low condensed bush shape of the plants, though the yield was less then ideal(not horrible)

Love the cheapo light fits a 3x3 to a T and lights it well at 50%

I have been consistently satisfied with captian red beards seeds in terms of price point ease of care and finished product. I would recommend, especially to new growers. Have not been my biggest yielders and I had a poor germination rate with his blue dream.

Vivosun tent is quality but the 2in1 function is useless the false walls need to be made with zippers not velcro if any 2in1 is gonna work well. I'll take my yuxian over it. The yuxian is made with better material and has side bars, much sturdier and at a lower price point.

This grow was the most fun I had in the journaling aspect thanks again to all who followed along and contributed
