Foxtailing has gotten worse on the buds. I'm switching them all over to plain water and am going to lower my lights from 80% to 60% power and change the light schedule to 10/14 by adjusting it 30 minutes a day. I'm hoping this will encourage ripening a bit faster so that all of the new foxtail...

I took some new closeups. I couldn't find my tripod adapter so had to freehand it. Each photo is of a different bud from the plant. I don't have any photos of the clones right now. They are a mix of readiness but I may wait on the clones until the last plant I pull out. The plants all started...

I didn't get any time to do much over the holiday weekend and am getting back into the tent today. Unfortunately it looks like all of the plants are foxtailing. It is most likely just caused by the heat stress since my temps have been high. Today, I raised the lights up 2 more inches to try to...

Good to know.

Today a bunch of the blue cheese leaves started showing heat stress. The basement is 70f with 74% RH. The tent itself was hovering around 85F. As a result, I raised my dehumidifier to 55 so the VPD is more in range of where it should be. I am going to lower my fan a bit more so it blows more...

I'm working on planning out my next grow. I'll most likely just grow a single seed from each of the 3 varieties I already grew plus the ILGM Gold Leaf seeds I haven't tried yet. I like the idea of growing 2 varieties but I have no idea what to expect for effect and potency nor how much my...

Monday marked the "last two weeks" of flower for the blue cheese based on the breeder estimate. However, I understand that those estimates can be total bunk. Temps have been mostly stable as has my tent humidity. I am still getting some heat stress on some of the leaves, but at this point I...

I got a cheap IR thermometer and measured my leaf temp. Grow tent has been between 81 and 83. (This may go up once we get into higher temps outside) Dehumidifier has been set to 50% Leaf temp is 75. That puts me at around 5 degrees below room temp for the leaf temp which gives me a lot more...

We had a cool spell over the weekend so I bumped by dehumidifier down to 45% RH. The temps were staying around 76 to 78, but the basement temp dropped down to around 60 so that affected everything I'm sure. I got my bluetooth hygrometers on Monday so set them up in the tent and basement and...

Here's a photo I took of the leaf trouble I was seeing. This was from 2 days ago. After doing a bunch of reading, I think it is heat related. The affected leaves are both above and below the canopy so I don't think it is too much light. This morning I turned the dehumidifier back to 55 and...

Had a big humidity spike in the basement. 67F and 80%RH. Depending on the weather, I may just try hanging it in a closet with a fan and see how it does. But July will most likely be a good deal warmer. My other thought is that I could get some Calcium Chloride (damp rid) and putting that in...

The power flashed off last night which reset the timer on the smart fold grow light. I had originally gotten the smart fold thinking the built in digital timer would be a boon, but it turns out it is a very basic timer that is just a countdown based on when you turn the knob. If you set it to...

I replaced all of my water heater drip pans with a single cheap tarp. While I was occasionally getting run off from the big plans, it wasn't enough vs the run off from the clones that are in there. The water was leaking onto my plywood floor so would eventually rot. I also removed a bunch more...

Everything turned suddenly very bushy so I made some time to remove more leaves today. I tried to expose as many bud sites as possible while keeping a good bit of leaves to keep the plant healthy. They are also starting to smell strongly while I was removing leaves. I ordered a carbon filter...

Today is day 24 since switching. The new nutrient ratio seems to be working. I will plan to give them that with every watering and except once a week use just PH adjusted water. I removed some of the old yellowed leaves and cleared out some more that grew over bud sites. I'll have to do...

2022-06-04 marked one of the clones and started treating the bottom half of the plant with colloidal silver. I know it is a bit later into flower, but my hope is to produce some pollen for try with my next grow. If it produces, I'll plan to strip them out and freeze the pollen. Today the...

Today marks 18 days since flipping the lights to 12/12. The plants are still stretching and I am hopefully not going to be training them anymore. I spent time looking over each plant and cleaning up unhealthy looking leaves, exposing bud sites, and helping with air flow. I also removed all of...

My dehumidifier pump threw and error this morning so hadn't pumped out any of the reservoir last night. Humidity was way high. I'll be removing more leaves tomorrow to clear out the Blue Dream's canopy a bit. The other ones look mostly okay, but I'll check them all tomorrow. I am going to...

That catches us up to today. 16 days since switching to 12/12. I pulled everything out of the tent and spent time cleaning up leaves and moving some of the LST wires. I did a tiny bit of supercropping. I also rearranged the layout and taped over the led indicator on the dehumidifier. Just...

2022-05-29 All of the plants are looking pretty healthy. I spent some time going through all of the plants and touching up their training and removing leaves. The clones were getting some yellow leaves. I adjusted the nutrition up slightly for them. I also went through and removed all of the...
