Superboof & Chimera #2-just flipped 12/12

I have been running the Boof for a few grows, I got a cut at a highly discounted rate compared to what the OG grower was asking. It's been the best strain I have run ever, super sticky, I get a great yield, and it's tasty. I run Build a Soil soil, sort of no till style, amended with all sorts of stuff to mimic a Coots soil. I use everything from Jeremy at BAS. Full organic runs, minimal input. I grow in two Earth Boxes inside a 4x4 tent. Running Timber Daisies, several years old now. I have AC infinity 6" exhaust, several AC Infinity clip fans, and one household fan on floor shooting under plants. I also use a Niwa hub, but I am not really impressed with it a whole lot.

I suck at cloning. Sometimes I will take cuts (Clonex, & Organi plugs) and none of them take and if they do they take two weeks. The end of the boof could be this batch as I just flipped and I have no roots in any clones. I took one more cut of Boof and we'll see.....but it's probably time I switch it up anyways, kinda tired of the same ol stuff.

I run two plants per box, land my ast grow with three Boof and two Chimera I got 634 grams. Boof threesome put out 348 grams and two Chimera did 276g.
Lights are 500 watt cob LEDs. That is approximately 1.3 G per watt, but since I use less watts, I could probably adjust that figure up some and it would be more accurate.

I don't run lights full blast ever as the heat they generate runs temps too high in the tent, like 90 degrees. I get to about 80% max lights. Seems good, but it would be nice to run them more. My cooling sucks as I have no outside air due to neighbors. I run a dehumidifier in the flower stage as it won't get down enough without it.

I am on day one of 12/12, two Boofs, two Chimera #2.
I top dressed a few weeks ago with some Gnarly Barley and the fungus took off again. Last night I added some Kashi Blend (BAS' flowering version). Besides that, I use tap water now. I installed an RO and was running RO, but it's a paint to get 6 gallons each fill, so I switched to the tap and I don't think it matters much except for the living soil part. In my untrained, un-scientific brain I think that since I am not physically watering the soil with chlorinated water, the living organisms in the soil are minimally affected. My theory is along the same lines as high growing room temperature. Plants outside in "living organic no till soil" get watered with a hose and I can't imagine that water kills all the living things in the ground, so how bad could it be for my boxes? Second, plants grow outside in whatever weather you get, I am in San Diego so outside I have grown plants where it can get to be 100 degrees sometimes, they love it as long as the ground it wet. So how could 90 degrees in my tent be a "problem"? Just rambling here....

Looking at doing some new stuff, I got some Atlas Super Sour Runtz and Banjerine.

Banjerine seems to grow more like Sativa while Atlas not.

Would you run those two together in the same tent, or is that going to be a headache?

I may just end up running (fingers crossed) two boof and two Super Sour Runtz together. I gotta see how these clones do.

My clone problem is totally my fault. I am cutting above nodes sometimes, I am running the blocks too wet a lot, so I have some learning to do still.


I would like to trade out the Dehuy for an AC but I am not sure you get as much dehumidification as you can with a true dehumidifier, does anyone know the truths about AC versus Dehumidifier?

Some of the pics I have the lights too close, hence the leaves praying up and taco'd,
Last photo I bent some/all of the tallest tops just to try and slow it down and to get the main top of one to push up more. I hardly bend them, so I am not even sure if this works, but I will do it every day in as lights come on in the evening.

Buy a bag of plugs and take clones until lock it in. Took me about a bag to get it down. We could do a journal together if you would like sometime on cloning. Let me know.

My cut of Chimera2 is long legged. I personally will never run more than one pheno/strain per tent again. You said it yourself about the numbers. I couldn't imagine you running through your stash before another harvest is ready. If you do, than perhaps you need to improve on quality over quantity aspects of your grow. Also with the temps, I'm running high this round and my GG4 is going crazy 82 to 85 I'm running. I don't plan on lowering until week 6.
 
Your garden looks healthy AF btw. Whatever you are doing keep it up!

Edit* sorry to blow your journal up!
all good FM Swayze! I have been running both of these side by side with no issues. The cut is so premium, these are the best nugs I have ever grown and they smash everything at dispensaries. My brother works at one and he's shared my grow with employees and they telling me they would pay $300/oz for it. But instead, I give it away (to my three closest buddies) and some randoms along the way until it's gone. I am down to an ounce right now. I realized my clone problem, I was cutting them too short (less than thre nodes) and the blocks were too wet. I appreciate the offer, I am lazy at keeping track. I just add tap water and some top dress like Kashi and Gnarly Barley......I mix my own soil from organic amendments. I am really keeping it simple and they THRIVE. I've realized you can buy all the shit, additives, terp juice, whatever, none of it makes a noticeable difference like quality genetics does. The money I have spent on "boosting" harvests is a complete waste. I just keep PH in check on my water, and that's it. I just cut out a ton of leaf right now.

100% genetics is key. Cultivation is a passion of mine, I don't even consume myself. Notes is key man, level up and get you a planner and practice taking notes. I ran Dr Earth on my first run in this tent and it was nice to just water, but this tribus and Jack's 321 is a level. You are right about the additives but I would challenge you to give Tribus a shot, promise you will see the difference.

I see you pruned and defoliated good work, I'll be doing the same this week. I'll be following along, keep shining my man!
