Oh Yeah. I cut a couple of popcorn stems off of the SSH2 in week 7. Dried for 4 or 5 days and curing in a jar for a couple of days now. Yes it is ripe.

well !did it put u out?
Not at all. Got a nice heady energetic high that lasts about 30 or so minutes. I was surprised at the smoothness and non grassy taste. Burns clean white with no indication of poor taste, even as a greenie. As you can tell by my jabbering prose, it also appears to make you rather yappy and it's great for the thinking game. Unfortunately it messes with your sense of sentence structure so you may tend to elaborate sentences into a wierd, non conforming run on sentence longer than many airports and train tracks globally.

I am a big fan of the weird and crazy buzzes that come from smoking it right off the plant with a short drying window!

That feel you have usually means it is early. Often as it reaches harvest time a quick dried and cured hit will actually knock you out!

Hey folks. This is my first indoor grow using organic soil and I'm having an issue with one plant in particular. The one thing that I neglected to do was adding the Liquid Karma. When I noticed the plant start to go downhill I did add some epsom and Dolomite lime as a top dressing. About 1 Tbsp to 3G pots. I also raised the lights to 18" from 13" just in case.

Auto flowers are Kings Bread (Sativa dominant) and Super Silver Haze (x2). Kings Bread is having a tough time of it. 2 are starting week 4 of flower.



I'd appreciate it if someone could help me straighten this out. Let me know if any more details are needed.

It's recommended NOT to use Epsom salt and Dolomite together..

I know, sounds lame. I almost did the same and read online not to do it.. so just went with the dolomite lime. Did you mention what soil you were using here?
Dolomite lime is pH adjuster and epsom salt is fertilizer. Dolomite is not water soluble and epsom salt is. You mix dolomite in your “soil” to ballance and buffer pH of the peat. You mix epsom in your water to provide mag and sulphur. Using too much either one of those will lead to potassium and all kind of lockouts. Two different things IMo so you can mix lime to your soil if you building your own and than water with epsom as needed. You are not suppose to mix epsom into your mix in form of salt…

I can vouch for the pH corrective measures using Dolomite Lime.. saved me more than once. I now add it into the soil like you said. And it has calcium and magnesium in it as well. If you have a big enough pot, you could possibly go without CalMag supplementation just using the Dolomite Limestone. Possibly. Crab Meal anyone?

@Week4@inCharge It's all good. I corrected the problem with a bit of work. This was my first try at making my own soil mix so there were adjustments to be made. I'm currently curing the Kings Bread, 4 days into drying the first Super Silver, and the 2nd SSH is still going.

Thanks for the input.

Last one standing.

SSH#2 hanging above the SSH#1 (6 jars) and below last seasons Blue Mystic and the Kings Bread this grow. The 3 jars of KB are ~2.7Oz. There's no way I can use all this. I'll be giving it away hand over fist. haha

Awesomely. But you should try to keep the harvested buds out of the light. Light degrades thc and terpenes.

Good point. It's an under stair closet. Lights are always off except for burping and getting bud from the jars. I keep the stash that I access for smoking in the furnace room in a closed shelf unit by the freezer. Those would be the size of the 2 smaller jars you see on the top right of the pic.

Forgot to mention. This will be the first time I've hung the entire plant up. Right now I'm 4 days in and expecting around 10. The other two were jarred in 7 days. It'll be a good tester.

I'm tempted to use those circular hangers infinity sells. Seems to be taboo from a few growers out there swearing that hanging the plant is the only way to go. Then I see the few that use em with success. I hung the last grow. Hey congrats on the Harvest. Nice haul.
