Final report: I ended up losing my final grow weight tally so can't give any accurate numbers. I know it was pretty close to the first grow as long as I didn't count the trim weight. The shake/trim weight was a lot because there was so much of it due to having so much popcorn bud. Figure first...

I let them dry hanging up in my big grow tent again. Each hanger was set up to only hold a specific strain to help keep everything separated. I'm pretty sure I dried them like the last batch, dehumidifier to 55 to start and after 2 days I turned it down to 50. On 03-26-23 I decided the plants...

Here's photos of them hanging up to dry and some closeups. I didn't have a bunch of photos this time around.

I ended up getting busy and neglecting the final updates on this journal. Chop day was 03-18-2023. I removed any dry/dead looking leaves and cut each plant into sections. Think each big branch was cut and hung separately because the plants were so huge. I used yarn and plant ties to tie the...

Getting to the last week or so of this grow. The plants are looking and smelling amazing and I am hopeful that the harvest will end up being more than my first grow. This grow I have not ran into any fox tailing issues since my temp and humidity were way more consistent and low during flower...

I replaced the batteries in my hygrometers and hooked them up to my phone to pull data off. I want to increase the temp temperatures a bit so am debating about dropping my plants down and turning my light to 100% instead of 80%. I'm concerned that that could be way to much light still. I'm...

Today marks day 29 since switching to 12/12 lights. The plants seem to be doing pretty good. I have been slowly cleaning out the insides of the plants as there was a ton of stretching of small buds on the lower side of the plant. They are all a bit scraggy looking from being poorly trained...

I finally found some time to clean up more leaves. They were starting to look a bit jungly inside. These ones are really starting to smell. The bucket with my trimmings could be smelled from the other room. I may have to look at hooking up my carbon filter. The plants seem to be doing fine...

The humidity has been staying pretty consistent with the better watering practice so I have pulled out the humidifier. It will be going in with seeds for my next grow which I will be starting soon. They should be fine with a humidity dome, CFL light, and warming mat but I want the humidifier...

Over the weekend I had a bit more time to get in and clean up. I stripped the bottoms of each plant this time and also cleaned up the inside along the stems a bit better. I also redid some of my LST ties and removed a few that weren't needed. There was a bit of new growth on some of the...

Plants are still looking okay. I think they are bouncing back and seem to be handling the stress of flipping to 12/12 fine. I'm going to re lower my lights back down once they come back on and do a bit more clean up. My goal is to try to spread the plants out a bit more to fill in the spaces...

Thanks for stopping by. I've been happy with my ILGM plants so will definitely look into those two strains for future grows. I opted to buy some regular seeds this time as I want to experiment with my own crosses and/or just pollen chucking for fun.

Today marks the first day of switching to 12/12 lights. I'm running them on from 6PM to 6AM which is just before the house heat kicks on in the morning. I was tempted to just try running during the day like before because I don't have to deal with any light changes, but I'm concerned that it...

I haven't had a good chunk of time to fully switch over. The holidays have continued to be crazy busy. I have however raised the lights up as high as they can go because the tops were looking a bit wonky. The tent was also getting a bit drier from the furnace kicking on more often since...

Today all of my hard pest control has finally paid off. I found a dead rat outside my grow tent. Looks like the poison took care of it. Hurray. I have been basically letting the plants limp along while I waited to see if I could deal with the rat or not. Today I will clean out the tent and...

Final grow updates 5 months later. The bud has cured up and been quite smokable. I shared some with some friends and they all have different preferences on what they like. I have also made some huge batches of gummies and cannabutter using some of the larfy buds. I still have about 9 ounces of...

Just checked on the plants today and I think I am dealing with rats rather than mice. 2 of the traps were tripped and another branch was snipped completely off. I am going to mix up some DIY rat poison using Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) and using it downstairs in the basement. I'll also pull...

My meeting ended early so I was able to head back down and wrap them all up. I looked through and trimmed off a few dead spots and supported one floppy branch. I also had to wrap a few branches that the skin was peeling on. I decided not to start flower today after all. Instead I mixed up a...

And here are some representative photos of the grow from when I started prepping up til now. It is more random plants but it is what it is. Before vacation: Day I get back from vacation: 2 days ago:

I think the plant damage is exacerbated by my letting the plant dry out a bit inbetween watering this time. I found evidence of the stems splitting from what I assume is having an excess of water and trying to grow and hitting forcing an expansion on the hard outer shell. Lazy grow method has...
