On the smoke report front, the Critical Jack is stony as hell, but has no real flavor. It doesn't taste bad, it's just really neutral. It smells fantastic though, which is strange.
The Pineapple Express, however, has lived up to its rep. The smell is awesome, it has a great high, and tastes absolutely fabulous.
I'll keep the PE going indefinitely. When I restart in January, I'm going to go with mostly regular seeds, and I'll look to cross the 19.5% CJ with a couple of different males and see what happens.
I spent today moving the last of the 2-gallon plants into 7-gallon pots. I now have 10 plants in veg, and 9 in flower. I've continued checking for thrips in the veg room every couple of days with the microscope, and it really does seem to be clean.
Because I didn't want to spray the flower room, even with an organic, I've been keeping the thrips down in there with spinosad soil drenches. About half of the room harvests within the next two weeks. Once that has been done, I can isolate the last 3 potentially-thrippy flowering plants under one of the 1K lights, and start bringing in pots from the veg room under the other one. To get the timing right for Xmas, I'll flip the last veg plant no later than mid-October.
Sorry it has been so long on pics, I will take the macro lens off and shoot some garden shots with a regular lens...
