Dark Harvest Grow Challenge! farmerjim

[PhantomSulker]

My Son just turned 12 and he gets a phone now, (all our kids did not have one till 12) he wants to wait till they have a buy one get one free because I will need to get a new line. I would really like a note 9 but now the 10 is coming out I bet he wants to wait a bit longer. I need to get one which one did you get I think those pics are great. I have been in IT all my life, but I still don't tweet or am not on Instagram.

Ya dude!! It's one of those cheap USB scopes online. Not too shabby, takes a little getting used to. I just got a Note 9 and love it! If you like macro shots, @erik.nugshots on IG is UNREAL

Great looking grow, I saw your WYSE camera in one of the shots. I am going to get a better angle on my next grow from the side like you did. I will be starting 4 Jack Herer Autos as soon as they arrive to follow my current grow. Did you use a digital microscope to get the close ups on the tricomes. My Samsung S8 if I get close enough it will pickup everything.

Chop day today!!

Hey! So what has happened in the last month and a half?! Well, DGTH has been herming for almost everyone. I culled one but left the one going in the scrog tent hoping it wasnt too bad. I love this gor
illa cookies. Purps starting to come in on it... I'll get a series of vids in here to catch us all up once youtube stops being difficult. Happy Thanksgiving all!

alrighty... been doing my best to just let the plants be. i've checked in a few times and given a haircut or two. Most recent of which was this morning. Todays was a heavy defol and some super cropping in the mainline tent and some tucking in the scrog tent. Having some trouble getting my side-view timelapses to download but I have a couple ready to go once I figure it out. The top-view timelapse ends in 5 days... I'm very excited for that one...

Leaves look great across the board - changed out the reservoirs today and kicking things up a notch with some liquid koolbloom...

Yeah glad we waited too. Looking good. I believe it is the phenos. It seems I have 3 different phenos from dgth. ✌

[farmerjim]

happy flip day! IF we were flipping! So glad we decided to wait a week.

I changed the reservoirs today and ppm'd to around 2200 (500scale) and pH'd to 5.9. Next res change I'm going to stay on the 6.2 side of 6 for the first couple weeks of flower in an attempt to avoid the CalMag issues I saw in flower in my last run.

I also decided to switch the Dark Ghost Train Haze's. The one in the mainline tent (long and lean) seemed much more appropriate for the scrog. The one that was in the scrog was short and stubby. Not sure if its different phenos like others have mentioned or simply stunted from the early pH issues. Either way I think the long and lean dgth will love the scrog tent.

I also connected the lower ports of each tent with ducting. conditions seem to be a bit more consistent now since I can only pipe the ac into 1 of the tents.

I have both of my timelapse cams setup in the mainline tent now - one from a side view and one from the top. Need to get a microSD for the 2nd one and going to set a longer period time lapse from the top... maybe over the course of 3-4 weeks to catch the transition to flower and most of the stretch... super excited...

Let's play catchup!

Been focusing on my 2nd harvest so haven't had a chance to update here. Go check it out - I pulled 16.4oz off 3 autoflowers!

The pH issues have been put to bed. The deficiencies on the leaves certainly got worse before it got better. I pretty much defoliated most of the affected leaves so the plants could focus on bouncing back with new healthy growth. Going back through my pics, I realize that I didn't get many of the Dark Harvest plants because I was too excited snapping pics of the last auto to harvest (10.6oz!)

Here are a few snaps of everyone... too lazy to embed this time...

Day 21...

pH probs again. Too busy with the new rig, not enough tlc for the young ones. pH squared away (6.2) and selected 2 plants (DGTH1 and GC2) for the scrog tent. AI, DGTH2 (day 14) and GC1 will be in the other tent once I chop this last Lemon OG Haze monster. ppms @ 420 with mostly silica, calMag and less than a tsp each of the GH trio. Res temps are at 70 degrees... here's to healing over the next few days and coming back strong!!
