Smacker’s irrational dream

Defoliation day tomorrow for these ladies. They haven’t stretched as much as I anticipated. I’ve got a couple that are just bud sites but that’s the price you pay from seed.

Sweet

I’ve had a shit show the last couple of days. I’ve lost 140 clones that were meant for room one in 3 weeks. So we just got done planting 175 seeds. I may be forced to transfer them into flower room 1 and veg them for a week before we flip them. Both flower rooms are looking great so that’s a plus. Now off to bed for 4 hours before I have to get up for the day job. Lol.

Oh here’s flower room 2.

Looks great! I imagine all the neighbors wanted to trick or treat at your place lol.

I would have put their asses to work. Lol. I’m in a rural area so there’s zero chance of trick or treaters.

Rosetta is getting close. I’m hoping we can harvest Friday or so. My c99’s are filling out but not nearly as much as I anticipated.

We chopped room 1 yesterday. It was quite the learning experience completing our first run. It didn’t turn out as well as I had planned. I believe we exceeded our bio mass number but only achieved many half of the amount of B+ buds I had envisioned. Just a few of the lessons learned.
1. Don’t buy cheap pumps
2. Sometimes less plants equate to more sellable product
3. Defoliate more of the lowers
4. Starting a room from seed is a crap shoot
5. K.I.s.s. Don’t overthink everything stay as simple as possible
6. Way overbuild your electrical system
7. Always have two options for replacing the plants in your harvested room.
8. More fans!
Overall I think we did ok for our first run. It’s not acceptable to me to repeat it as is. If I were going to give it a grade I would say we were a C-. Room 2 is 5 weeks into flower and already a vast improvement over room 1. Now that we have a better understanding of our limitations and abilities I believe we will begin to move towards the quality I want to achieve.

Congratulations to you both for getting through the first flower run with saleable product. Sounds like you took good notes on what worked and what didn't so I'm sure the quality will come up as you go. Hope that the next run kills it for you.

Sorry I haven’t posted anything lately. We ended up at 43lbs of flower and 17.6 lbs of trim from our Rosetta Stone room. I doubt I’ll ever run her again. She took forever and is very airy. We harvested or Cinderella 99 room today. I definitely plan to run a room of the keeper clones we took. I have another run from seed of her in room 1 now. We’ll most likely flip her next Friday. We had a great quality product from Cinderella but I expected a lot more stretching so we flipped her a week and a half to early. Our wet weight for room 2 was 81,650 grams so she won’t be setting any records this trip but the next run of her will be significantly better. Overall I absolutely love what we’re doing and I can’t wait to get better at this.

Sounds like a good start and I don't envy you at trim time. I'm guessing there's not a lot of professional trimming crews down there yet.
If I can get my back to work with me I'm going to be growing some Sour Bubble from BOG Seeds and some Purest Indica seeds from Authentic Genetics. Here's one of the Purest Indica babies I hope is a girl.
Cindy 99 is one I have wanted to grow for awhile just for the terps. I bet your flower room smells amazing. Best of luck with the new crop.
