I was considering to start at least reclaiming the coco that floats to the top when in a bucket of water while tossing out the goop at the bottom, and mixing it in the next run. If I repeated that process every run, eventually I would be mostly using only the top grade.

I have a Spectrum King SK400+ that I pulled 19 oz of Jack Herer in a 57"x57". I did however have it on a light mover and CO2. I currently use it in a 47"x47" setup. The SK hangs pretty low, so you will lose a bit of headspace in the tent, especially on a light mover. This has been a problem...

I know the smell you’re talking about, but this batch didn’t seem to have it. It may be that I bought them in the winter time so they weren’t cooking in a shipping container for the last few months. Here’s my update; I jarred the nugs today. The system seemed to work at keeping the...

So far so good. I put this unit into service last night and the internal RH never exceeded 66%.

Always leav’em wantin’ more!

Here we go... I’m putting a whole harvest on the line with this concept. The ambient air RH is roughly 30% this time of year, and my previous harvest did not get a great cure because it got too dry too fast. I’m trying to slow things down a bit with this setup. This rig is a three chamber...

Final weight.... 375 grams of very close trimmed bud. Unfortunately I didn’t hit my 1/1 GPW goal. I could have done a looser trim and upped the final weight or included more stem, but I think I would still fall short. Prepping for my next grow now, stay tuned.

I find the Inkbird hygrometers for $13 on Amazon are very close. To cut costs, I also use the cheapest button hygrometers which can be found for $2-3. The trick is to put them in a jar alone with a Integra pack for a while and use a marker to make a line on the face of the hygrometer...

Not much of an update today, but I have been flushing for 3 days and harvested about 80% in my first pass. I’ll post a final weight after I get everything in the final cure phase.

Week 9 Day 1 Most of my grows end like a scene in a movie where the car engine is on fire, all the glass is shattered, tires flat, finally powersliding onto the edge of the cliff, where I must carefully extricate myself and leap to safety before the car plunges into the abyss. This grow is no...

This cut has a nice strong mango smell with a faint diesel smell, and fainter still skunk. The plan is 8 full weeks and 3-5 day flush. As long as I have 70-80% opaque tricomes, I think we are good. The buds really blew up this past week so I'm not going to rush to harvest as long as its...

Week 8 Day 1: Buds are continuing to explode and upper foliage is continuing to dry up, but not such a rate that would cause concern. I continue to pinch off foliage that has browned up to allow light to fresh foliage underneath. I’ve had to support some of the buds that were falling over and...

Week 7 Day 1 I actually lost a day midweek because I left my light dialed down. Otherwise, the buds are plumping up nicely despite losing some foliage. I’m seeing some signs of excess N, possibly from adding cal/mag midweek.... so I think I won’t be doing that again. The schedule calls for...

Week 6 Day 1 The nutrient Schedule switches from Top Booster to Shooting powder this week. The buds are hairy and filling out nicely. I think I’ve got this deficiency situation in hand. The plants seem to like more cal/mag than the nutrient line provides. I have read this is common under...

Week 5 Day 1 The nutrient schedule adds in Top Booster this week. I’m still keeping an eye on the cal/mag situation. The newer leaves coming out of the buds seem to be doing well, with maybe an occasional drawstring. The ppms this reservoir change were a little higher than I was comfortable...
