Decided to snip a little sample nug off the big cbd cheese.

Weighed 1.27 so I think prob .3 dry.


The fiskars got unbelievably sticky just from trimming this tiny thing. The lcxcn is getting super frosty too, I’m gonna end up with a gram of iso hash just from rinsing the scissors off during harvest bongsmilie

Shockingly little smell. The big auto is definitely about done, ten weeks day after tomorrow.

Officially 7 weeks of flower in the books today.

The soil auto is dropping fans almost daily

Buds are putting on weight, two lcxcn and the big auto have branches that are bending now. I’m glad I didn’t harvest the auto, 71 days and even though the leaves are going yellow there’s barely any amber trichomes. Plus some of its buds have really swollen up the last few days.

The coir plant looks really good but it’s so slow. At this rate it’s gonna be 15 weeks to harvest. It’s super frosty and has more bud growing than the others though. It’s structure is identical to the manifold almost.

The cbd cheese I took to sample is kinda harsh from the quick dry but the high is great.

Officially 8 week since flip today. :hump:
And 11 weeks from sprout for the autos.


Kept the ac cranked for a couple days and it got down to 70 for a little bit. A few are starting to go purple now, looks pretty cool.

The tiny plant is blowing my mind, definitely see the appeal of SOG. I’d guess it’ll end up 7-10g and I could easily fit 60 in the same space.

Finally took down the triple cheese, it smells so good like creamy fruit. Surprised it lasted so long, I just quit watering it.

Popped a little nug off the small auto, gonna give it another week or two.

Somethings up with the tall lcxcn now. Leaves are curling up and half dead suddenly.

6C3F60EF-8DD0-4572-BBE4-8890BE729116.jpeg

Luckily it’s far enough along if I need to take it down.


The manifold got really swollen up out of nowhere. Plus it’s all purple now too. Gonna be so good.

Coir plant is gonna be great, so so slow though.

After the picture I pulled the ties tighter and really opened it up, should’ve done that a while ago.


My first buds are ready to cure, took 4-5 days to dry which is decent but I just got paper bags to try and double that.

Getting pretty rough looking but colorful in here

The top buds I left on the soil auto are getting a little purple going on now too. Definitely looking swollen now that they’re getting old. The whole trunk is starting to get pale too.

The coir auto is getting close also

Almost there. Into week 11 now, and I’ve noticed the pistils changing a lot in the manifold.

A few days ago I had posted a picture and people said it looked like bud rot might be starting so I cut off part of one cola. No problems and it looks and smelled amazing. So colorful now.

They’ve gotten so much frostier the last week also.

I also cut a few branches off the tall one because they were all bent over bunching together and I was worried about mold, especially since it’s not super healthy.

2F0454AE-D6D3-4836-BAE9-F18FE2835CB3.jpeg

Kind of a pain in the ass trimming, those buds were super leafy.


The autos are taking forever. The small one has 90% curled in pistils, but still has white ones and no amber trichs. Prob gonna harvest on Friday no matter what, that’ll be 14 weeks and near double what the package said.

Been a minute but tomorrow will be the end of week 12. I finished harvesting the big auto today and just now took down the tall plant.

Watered the rest so they should be nice and hydrated in the morning and I’m gonna chop them.


Already broke the cuticle scissors trimming, and probably scraped .3 of hash off them as I went.

This clone is going to be a beast. Gonna veg it along with the triple cheese clone for another week or so.

The manifold looks beat but the buds look so tasty.

Trimming sucks. I’m getting good at it now but it still takes like an hour to do a plant.

Did the manifold and the small auto today.

Auto had some monster nugs, super dense.

Ok so this is my first time doing a real grow.

I got a hold of feminized seeds one each of Cinderella99, utopia haze, and triple cheese. Then I got like 10 regular seeds that are layer cakeXchocolate nightmare.

I decided to start with 2 regular seeds and germinated them in little solo cups.

View attachment 4877375

They germinated quicker than I expected and I wasn’t prepared yet so I ran out and got soil and a cheap led. They grew super quick and were kind of stretched by the time I got light on them so I transplanted them into gallon jugs.

View attachment 4877377

At a week after germination I decided to plant another one plus the triple cheese. I wanted to make sure I got females and also wanted to try out different lst stuff.

Now the problem is I didn’t pay attention and used the wrong soil, the kind that feeds for six months. The quickest along is showing discoloration and dying tips but I was told to just let them go and they’ll do ok.

View attachment 4877384

This is today, the bottom two are 17 days and the top two 10 days. Top right is the triple cheese. Unfortunately I didn’t realize it was best to gradually increase the pot size and they just kinda sat around growing roots in the gallon jugs until recently.


At this point I had been reading about other methods and decided to try coir since I have a bunch around for mushroom stuff. I put two more regular seeds in jiffy pods and today the tap root popped out the bottoms so I put them in coir.

View attachment 4877390

I washed and buffered the coir, then flushed it til the runoff was reading about 100 ppm and stuck the jiffy pods into big cups. Hopefully I did everything right, it was way trickier than I had anticipated. Tomorrow I’m planning on mixing up my first gallon on nutrients and doing the first feeding.

I also got a viparspectra XS2000 today but probably won’t be using it until flowering as my cheap led seems to be doing fine for now.
Good luck on your first one.

Finished trimming all the ripe ones today. Down to just the nice big coir one and the tiny runt, both of which look awesome.


The one I topped is the one I did today, it was so much stickier than the others. Like the buds were dipped in syrup.

Here’s the manifold buds. Definitely all high quality dense nugs, I like how exposed to light they are with the plant trained like it was.

Thanks man it went better than I expected for sure.


I’ve been taking a branch off here and there for a minute trying different ways to dry, my first few only made it five days but I figured out a method to get it up to 8 days now which is good enough.

Problem is it’s like 10% humidity here and I have to have the ac going 24/7 right now.

Some of the early ones that got a five day dry have been curing for three weeks now and it’s getting the job done. Right around two weeks I noticed a big change in the harshness and flavor.

Manifold dried quick for some reason. Almost exactly an ounce. Looking like about an ounce from the bigger auto also.

So today is 15 weeks for the coir plants.

I got bored and tired of moving the last big one so I started trimming it today. Definitely could go another week or two but it’s fine.


It could just be genetics, but I think that the nutrient problems I had in early flower with the soil plants really affected the yield. The buds on this plant are way bigger and much much heavier than any of the soil plants.

the runt plant I’m gonna let keep going. It looks like it’ll be done in a week, the pistils are curling up pretty quickly now.
