Whats up all, feel free to follow my progress, check my pics, and drop advice (this is my 2nd grow).

Equipment
4x4 MarsHydro tent
Air Cube system (hydroton medium, 6 drain and fills)

SpiderFarmer G8600 LED lights

Food
Jacks321
GFF SAG
Armor SI
pH down

Progress, day 1 to 40:
Meph DG is the plant on the right side

Doing light defoliation
Front left plant got a little LST treatment
Day 40 - tallest plant is 2ft

Day 40 - 48 Update:

• Heavy defoliation done on the plants, the humidity (high 60s) is too much and I don't want to run a dehumidifier. I defoliated on my last run and got over 2lbs off 4 autos (DWC), so I'm a believer in defoliation.
• AirCubes are doing its thing, I left for work for a few days so I did a water change and filled up about 20 gals at 1100 PPM and 5.9 PH in my reservoir. From there the AirCube system took care of the watering and draining part. I love autopilot.
• Plants are flowering, starting to pack on. I have atleast 40-50 days left to continue putting on weight. Hope it goes well!
• I abuse these plants when defoliating. I don't mean to, but they are resistant and don't give a damn, they are praying right now after I plucked atleast 40% of their leaves.

Questions for the audience:
Is it too late to Scrog? I kind of want to experiment but don't want to screw things up.

Question: is two pounds from four plants a wet weight? Thanks. Never came close to that in dry weight from four indoor autos myself, but others are certainly more efficient also.

Dry weight. I want to say 25% was fluff though which I put away to use for bubble hash.

One of my autos (Acapulco gold) right now is in pre flower and its almost day 50. It's a monster compared to my other plants. It's usually the plant that I LST that gives the biggest yield.

Are those LST'd?

Right auto is lst, topped once and supercropped about 10 branches, left auto was just lst

Right plant would be 5ft if I didn't supercrop

Your plants are looking good for sure. I hope in 8 days I can pack some flower on. I just did a fresh water change and new nutes, hoping they get happy from that.

Day 49 to 75 update
In this flowering stage there's not much I'm doing. Water changes every 10 to 14 days, some defoliating and just letting the AirCubes do its thing.
My PPM stays around 1k, PH around 6.3.
The NASC Alcapulco gold plant has some huge colas, coke can sized, has a berry like smell, was expecting more of a citrus note.
The Mephisto DG is doing awesome, basically on autopilot. The trichs and smell is amazing. It's sticky too, touch a leaf and you basically got some glue on your hands.
My 2nd NASC Alcapulco gold didn't flower til like day 50 but it's huge, standing 4 feet tall and starting to pack on buds. This one will probably go 14 weeks honestly since it's behind.

I'm thinking of chopping the DG pretty soon here, maybe a few more days. Trichs seem pretty cloudy.

^nasc ag

^nasc ag, the one that didn't flower til late. This is the only plant I did LST on. It's getting close to the light, I supercropped her a bit and she shot right back up. This one will be alone in the tent once the other 2 are chopped.

Hope yall had a nice 4/20. See you after the chop!

Day 82 update:
Very close to chop, trichome check showing little amber, 80% cloudy and 20% clear. I'm thinking of chopping either on the weekend or following week after.


^that clear strand is resin, right?

Some pics from earlier this week. Using a scope from Amazon that attaches to my phone.
