    New year, New Projects, New New

    First off HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE AT GWE Forum!!!!๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰. Been here 3 years!! Woop woop! So to celebrate....I been smoking on that Blue Dream๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ The Tangie ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ The cutting I took off my dad's weed plant... Surprisingly ๐Ÿ”ฅ. But man that blue dream with those berries on jet fuel holy damn. The Tangie like an orange farted and so sticky my grinder hates me for it. So because everything turned out so great and the next is looking even better I'm going BIG!!! Since I may not be growing during the summer( but what else am I supposed to do ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ). I wanna go out with a bang!!

    โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹Second, an update on the current ladies. They are on day 56 since flipping to 12hr. This is the early harvest date for 3 of the cultivars. The Mandarin Zkittlez looks like it's still getting fatter and maturing. The orange gassy terps on her MGL she smells amazing!!!! If I brush my hand on a leaf, not even the bud, it smells like dank orange. I'm so freaking hype about this flower. I never grew nothing that looks out smells this amazing ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
    The UG has stopped growing and looks like she's maturing. She smells like cherries. Maybe Cherry licorice with some frankincense/ light tobacco notes maybe. She was a freebie and turned into a pleasant surprise. The breeder website didn't really have any info about this particular cross so I want sure what I was going to get. But I love cherry and she smells delicious!!
    Lady Lucy is the CBD White Widow. She's a beast. She looks lovely, she's finally picking up some nice lemony light citrus terps. She's not frosty like the other 2 from Ethos but she's also a 1:1 so she's going to look different but man it looks like there's going to be like 6oz on her. She's got some color up top and fading from the bottom. She's also a 56 to 70 day bloomer so she'll be finishing up in the next 2 weeks I bet.
    The last is the GSC. She's finally blooming nicely. She's on day 65 of life ...ILGM days 10 to 14 weeks. She's def not going to be ready in 5 days. She only started blooming 20 days ago. She's def suffering some great stress. Hopefully getting all the inline fans hooked up and running will address the heat issues and keep things steady. She was looking yellow so I put a top dress of some Gaia green and she def picked up some color and started growing well but might be a bit spicy in there. Never had any good results with ILGM seeds. Especially with these GSC seeds. If I had known I would have gotten another Girl Scout cookie seed from my order from NASC, I would have waited and just planted that one......out of 5 seeds, 2 were mutants and never bloomed even under 12 hr, 2 grew severely stunted and this is the 5th seed.

    Def looking like we're 2-3 weeks out for the UG and Mandarin. Probably the same for the White widow CBD. Hopefully by then, the GSC should be getting close. It's looking like it's going to be a really good harvest. Easily a QP per plant.

    To start off the New Year, I figure it was appropriate to try a few new things. For the first time, 5/7 gal FABRIC POTS! I resisted these for years but I see the benefits. Mixed with a wicking system, organic amendments and just plain water all the way through. I got the AC Infinity Self Watering XL bases for my birthday ๐ŸŽ‚. (Friend and family been loving all the gifted greens in return they've been helping me upgrade my whole grow. I couldn't have done it without them. I have too many medical bills to be able to afford all this equipment, seeds, amendments and everything else. I'm truly blessed ๐Ÿ™ with the best friends and family) Thankfully the bases fit ... Barely. In the 2x3 they're going to have to face the lip into the corners since the tent is missing 4 inches. In the 2x4 I should be able to squeeze 2 of the XL bases plus one of the regular 5gal bases. 5 plants. 3 autos, 2 photos.

    Not only is this a first for the ACI bases and the fabric pots but I'm also going to be testing some different soil combos and nutrients to see what I like better. I'll also be doing my first ever cover crop. Everyone just pitched in and got me so many different things. I figure I give it a go. So here's the grand plan

    In the 2 x 4 tent

    1. Photo - Barney's Farm - Pineapple Express
    Medium - peat/perlite/castings 1:1:1. 7 gal
    Nutrients- Coots Soil Mix(with a few additions like bio char)

    2. Photo - Blimburn - MAC #1
    Medium - peat/perlite/castings 2:1:1. 7 gal
    Nutrients - Gaia Green All purpose, Power Bloom, Basalt Rock Dust and Glacial Rock Dust as per directions. Also added ag lime, oyster shell, gypsum and dolomite lime

    3. Auto - Blimburn - Sweet Zombie
    Medium - Coco/perlite/castings 2:1:1 5gal
    Nutrients - Nature's Living Soil Autoflower 2oz/gal instead of recommended 3.2oz. I noticed it runs hot on nitrogen and needs more calcium so I also add basalt, glacial, ag lime, oyster shell, gypsum and dolomite lime. This will address the calcium and magnesium needs as well as keep the Coco buffered.


    In the 2 x 3 tent

    1. Auto - Blimburn - Purple Gelato
    Medium - Coco/perlite/castings 2:1:1 7gal Nutrients - Nature's Living Soil Autoflower 2oz/gal instead of recommended 3.2oz. I noticed it runs hot on nitrogen and needs more calcium so I also add basalt, glacial, ag lime, oyster shell, gypsum and dolomite lime.
    ..... It's a big bag and I've had it for almost a year now.....I want to finish this NLS so we're running 2 according to their instructions on their website with some adjustments.......

    2.Auto - 420 Fast Buds - Tangie (Redemption)
    Medium - peat/perlite/castings. 1:1:1. 7gal
    Nutrients - Coots mix with some additions.

    If I had space I would test one more auto with the Gaia but that will have to wait until the next grow. I already have the soil mixed up and ready to go. I really want to expand the flavors and choices of morning/afternoon/evening cultivars.


    I also got this camera for Christmas. I noticed it has video time lapse and photo time lapse and good quality for both video and pictures. Waterproofing so it can be inside the tent. I'm going to do some really nice videos. Really going to document this next grow from seed to harvest. It's going to give me something fun and productive to do. Keep me motivated and distracted from my health..

    I'll be planting the seeds Jan 14-16. The next adventure starts!!

      If anyone's grown any of these cultivars or used any of these methods or soil mixed or nutrients and you have any tips, I'm all ears.

      It's going to be A Lot of Firsts Part 2. The last Plenty of Firsts was a big success. I LOVE the Earth Boxes! I look forward to growing in them again. It was too easy.... The most hands off grow, lazy grow. I got a good feeling about the fabric pots and wicking bases. I wanna keep the good stuff going and get better and better each time.

        Oh man that blue dream really is a dream! When it comes to more stimulating sativa heavy types, it's my go to. No paranoia or anxiety. No doomies or feeling of dread like I get with some cultivars. I'm super glad I let it go an extra 2 weeks because man the taste the terps. So much good and this run is looking like it's going to finish off even better. So I'm very pleased with current state of things. I been watching that VPD line a hawk and that chart you linked has been super helpful. I'm even offsetting it by using one of those temperature guns and making sure I got the proper leaf temperature not just the air temp.

        Glad it's working for you. Those sativas have definitely got it all going on and I'm getting similar feedback re zero anxiety which is a big one for many I know..

        After a couple of months of curing it's really going to bring those wonderful full body feelings & overall sense of well being home.

      Here's a fun photo throwback for the new year. This is from about 3.5 years ago. Before i came onto this site. I had just bought myself a Mars Hydro TS600, which at the time MH was claiming their 100w LED light was equivalent to a 600w HPS light. Since i knew about HPS lights i figured i could grow 3-4 plants under a 600w equivalent light. Basically the lights caused the plants to stretch like crazy because they weren't getting enough PPFD The stalk and stems were so thin i needed supports all around; as you see on the other plants. This one in particular was holding up so I never put any kind of support under it. I had just watered the plants 15 minutes ago and came back to the room to find the one plant laying on the floor. After it had gotten a drink of water it got too heavy to be supported by its own stalk and it just fell over. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ Just imagine my reaction walking into this room and seeing it laying flat on the floor ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Now I look back at it and see it as a silly learning lesson. But it would take a few more months before i realized the light was causing the problem and that MH had lied.

      Meanwhile i got my nursery ready and everything else for my next grow. Popping seeds in the next few days

      OMG 2 DAY ALERT!!! 2 DAY ALERT!!!!!! ,๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿชด๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ๐Ÿช“

      The Mandarin Zkittlez and the UG are both coming down in about 2 days!!!! Starting to see some amber trichomes on them. Not to mention, they're not drinking water as much, leaves keep browning up and dying. The leaves that are left are an amazing purple color.๐Ÿ˜. That cold snap we had really brought out the purple. It's looking like Day 70 (Day 76 since I flipped to 12 hrs) is going to be Chop Day!!!

      The White Widow CBD is just about there too. She's all purple all over. She's got an amazing fade going, the buds are golf balls sized all over. I still see new white hairs popping up all around but the trichomes are telling a different story. Still has clear ones. She's going to be another week maybe. The GSC next to her is really trying to catch up. She's really getting fat fast and man is she terpy af.

      The smell in that room is just out of this world.. . .. They should make an air freshener that smells like that. I would buy it ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ‘. Like dank fruit salad. By far my best grow. These earth boxes are winners!!

      Now I can also finally pop all the seeds I wanted to pop. Imagine if I popped then in December like I wanted to.....I would have been hurting. I'm glad I waited and followed through. That blue dream that I gave an extra 2 weeks came out so good, i need to be patient. Patience Produces Perfection!

      420 this year gonna be ๐Ÿ”ฅAF oh man oh man oh man ......

        GWE and GWE Forum has been a huge part of the learning process. Getting to share my wins and fails. All my experiments that were doomed to fail and others that pleasantly surprised me. I still have so many experiments and plans for the future I hope my health holds out because I'm only just getting started.

      #7
      Since we are only days away from chopping 3 out of 4 plants, THIS is the perfect time to get the next ones started. It'll give me the chance to clean and sanitize everything. It'll give me the chance to move the light fixtures around. And it'll give me the chance to permanently set up those tents and get the cable management in order. Watching that VPD gave me AMAZING results.๐Ÿค“ The Earth Boxes gave me AMAZING results. I'm hoping I'll get similar results with the AC Infinity bases and fabric pots. If not, I'll double down on the Earth Boxes and get 2 more for rotation. If they work then I'll have the perfect rotation system. I want to start doing 2 or 3 seeds of a cultivar so I can see all the differences in phenos. I wanna give synthetic growing another chance. So much to do and not enough space to do it. I'm already at max in that room both on space and electrical usage. To do anymore, I would have to add 2 more outlets with their own breaker switches and blah blah blah. Expensive stuff that won't happen.

      So to maximize that space I'm going to do a mostly photo grow. You may have noticed from the picture that the line up has changed. I decided to swap the purple gelato auto and sweet Zombie auto. In their place I'm going to grow a Blue Dream from Blimburn and Cheese from Barney's Farm; both of which are photos. I consistently get better results with photos. I get double the yield and I'm not left guessing about the super unreliable flowering times(at least from the autos I've grown. I.e. the GSC in growing says 9-10 weeks but I'm on day 82 and she still looks like she needs 3 weeks. With photos when it says 65 days it's generally ready right at that time) Not to mention the stunting with autos of anything goes wrong. The only auto I'm leaving is the Tangie I NEED MORE of that one. Last grow was too hot. This one should be perfect. Same with the blue dream. This one came out so ๐Ÿ”ฅ that I NEED more. The 3oz won't last long when it's my favorite smoke.

      Peace. Love. Mushrooms and Weed.

        OMG!!!!! IT'S DONE!!! I never got this much weed off of 3 plants......I never got ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ weed like this PERIOD.

        The Mandarin was 22.6oz wet full plant. After drying and trimming maybe 6oz +/-

        The UG was 19.7oz so maybe I'll get 3-4oz

        Last was Lucy at a whopping 38oz !!!!! She's gonna be like 8+oz after drying. Gotta be.

        โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
        I never had a tent to dry in so I'm hoping it's going to go well. I have the inline set to the lowest speed and I have the ports closed so there no one spot that is sucking air in. The lung room in keeping between 56 and 58 % humidity. Inside the tent it's showing 62%. It'll be a bit on the highest side for the first few days but it will level off. Temp is at 68. Not the best temp but I'm sure it will drop off to about 66ish. I still have the GSC in the other tent and my seedling so I can't let it get to cold.

        The Tangie was the seed I was worried about but it's the first seed to pop. I see a lot of soil disturbance and I see a little pop of green. By tomorrow morning I'm sure it will be visible as well as possible a few others. The blue dream and cheese seeds were already cracked open when I was planting them. I hope they didn't drown. If after 4 days I don't see anything then I'll just plant another seed. Should be fine. I'm always in my head about the seeds but I have a near perfect germination rate.

        Man I can't wait to smoke some of this bud. The terpenes says exactly the kinds I look for. And if it's anything like the blue dream, I'm gonna be a happy camper. That blue dream I'm never gonna shut up about it..... It's so amazingly good!!! Hell yeah. 3 years of struggling and growing and throwing everything in the trash.... Finally... FINALLY I have amazing buds.

          Well I used to just put it under my makeshift tent. Insert my work bench to dry but I couldn't fit those 3 monsters. I don't have any fans or anything on in the 2x4. Just the inline on the lowest speed otherwise the air will just sit there. Even then I'm worried about having it on all the time. So far humidity in there has been good right at 61 and temp is at 67 which I'm happy about.

          If the humidity dips below 60 the inline turns off. It's only 60 and above that it's running

          Growing my sativas outdoors with a dry in the garage I'd hang the entire plant upside down. I never wet trimmed. 3 weeks drying was often needed, sometimes much more, sometimes a fraction less.

          First dry indoors in the room and I did everything a bit different as I was worried about mould. I over did it.

          The current thinking from the academic experts is 7 days is the perfect dry time based on terps retention but I am not sure about that. I think it depends on a few things but I found with these the slower the better to a point.

          I'm trying my best. I tried the Coots Soil recipe and had some of the best results to date. It helped me understand that I need more calcium. If this next grow goes without a hitch like this last one, then I can confidently say I got it all dialed in. They always grew well until the calcium deficiency started showing mid bloom and then it went to shit ... Which took my pH with it. This last grow was my first grow that had a nice fade and green all the way through bloom.

          Thanks dirtymike I think I got them on Amazon. It came with 3inch pots,bases, domes and plastic tags for identification. I use everything but the actual pots. The domes are great as well as the plastic id tags but the 3 inch high pots are so small. Not terrible for photos but terrible for autos. That Taproot hits the bottom after 5 days and it's stunted. That's why I opted to using the yogurt containers. I know I have exactly 7 to 10 days after the seed pops to transplant to avoid any kind of shock or stunting.

        #10
        Man I'm a goober. I'm wondering why the cheese hasn't popped yet..... Maybe because it's in the jar still. Good thing I had a second seed. 1in thick glasses and I still can't see shit ๐Ÿค“. It's okay though. I'm not rushing. All the other seeds popped with no problem. I'm even going to take pictures and make some time lapse.

        Hopefully this experiment will finally give me my answer. Coco or peat. I have 2 that will be in Coco and 3 in peat. We'll see how it all goes. Fingers crossed they all work out well and I can just grow stress free. Just like this last grow....easy peasy

          There's perlite ... I just haven't top watered so it all coated in mud. I mix, wet and then fill the cups then shove the seed in with a sharpie butt. You'll see the perlite next picture. I always do 50/50 with peat. I'm all to familiar with the oxygen exchange needs with wet dry cycles. That's why I'm curious about the Coco. If I could do my organic growing with the coco as the base then I'll switch to the coco. They def seem to grow bigger, faster and finish sooner in the Coco compared to the peat. I'm just tired of throwing myself all these curved balls and experiments I just want some good weed.

          I've just invested 3 years into peat. Though Coco might be better but you saw what happened with the purple punch 2 grows ago. Ran into that cal mag issue...hard. with peat acidity was my issue but that got solved with the Ag lime,gypsum and dolomite. Proof is in the pudding. If I hadn't been so rusty with my scrogging then I could have definitely gotten better results like I did with the CBD. But I kept snapping twigs and branches and main colas.... Just rusty thanks to all the autos. Even so it was a water only grow with only 2 compost teas for a boost.

          ROFL..... still in the jar. Love it.

          I should have left mine in the har longer. They're safer there from me

          Bluey Normally I'm not a very superstitious person but I feel like in this instance, the universe might be trying to tell me something. I didn't notice the seed in the jar and now it's been 3 days and the soil isn't even disturbed? The other seed popped open after only 12 hours of soaking, this one got soaked and it's been 3 days and nothing. I think the universe might be saying 3 plants in a 2x4 might be over ambitious. Might run into space issues or poor air circulation. Maybe I should only do 4 at a time. ๐Ÿค” Or maybe I'm just high๐Ÿค”

          If the plants were Mandarin and UG sized, I could fit another in there. Like when I had the blue dream in there ripening up. But if the plants are going to be like the CBD White widow then I probably should only do 2.

          Oooo I also got these brackets that fit a PVC or wooden dowel. Now I can have a nice taunt net and the tube can act as a high CFM bar too because least be honest those bars are overpriced. A whole tent is $70 but 4 brackets are $40 ?? Over half the price of a tent?? Huge rip off. It's like the whole printer/printer ink scheme or razors and new cartridges.

        Cheese-Louise.... The cheese didn't make it. The first seed would have worked if my goober ass planted it.... The second seed didn't have an embryo after 5 days I decided to take a peek. I'm just going to accept it and just go with 4. It just wasn't meant to be but the 4 i do have growing are looking super healthy and growing strong. That's how I'm gonna keep them.

        I see the deficiencies on the GSC but man she's on day 90.... She should have been done 20 days ago........ Never getting seeds from ILGM. You never know when it's going to be ready. She didn't even start flowering until day 40. Who knows when she'll be ready

        As far as my cups go, I'll be retiring them. They make a nice rootball and no transplant shock for autos but it limits their overall growth and if the Taproot hits one of the edges of the cup and it stunts it. Starts to prematurely flower as well. Fun experiment. Learned a lot from it, got some interesting root balls to feed my worms with. I wonder how long before they eat everything. Another fun experiment.

        I'm transplanting everything on the 7th. The stuff in the tents will be coming down on the 7th after 10 days dry. ..... Unless it needs longer but so far they're perfect. You can see the humidity dips below 62 so the inline doesn't kick on. The buds are looking good and drying nice and slow. I hope my next grow is this smooth ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

          Day 8... Looking great! The humidity has fallen below 62 in the tent so I open it daily to let out some of that grassy smell. Still a lot of soft branches. The leaves are crispy but the buds are still soft. The ones closest to the zipper I have gotten a little crispy but everything else is perfectly fine. The Mandarin has so much purple it looks so beautiful...๐Ÿ˜.

          Just by looking at the seedlings, you can tell that the pineapple is probably going to be a beast. She's outgrowing an auto and she's a day behind. The stem might not be able to hold her up if she keeps growing this fast. All the seedlings are looking great! Healthy, happy, growing! Only 2 more days until transplant .... At least for the Tangie. The photos can wait a few more days.

          Super excited about the pineapple and the MAC. I haven't had those cultivars in ages. Especially pineapple Express. When the movie came out everybody had some then all of a sudden everybody got tired of it and it just like disappeared. They only have vape pens half gram for $80 at my dispensary which is too rich for my blood. I'll grow my own thanks.

          Just 3 more months and I'll have my own castings too. I'm gonna give the worms some food today and I'm gonna give them the root balls to mess with. It's like a worm jungle gym. They can crawl on top of it crawl under it they could build a fort in there. They could have all sorts of fun with it while breaking out down. Those castings are starting to look like castings. Not only that but there's all of this microbiology there. I see springtails, I see predator mites and that's about all I can see with these poor eyes but when I get my microscope, I'll be able to see a lot more. Already I could see the quality of these castings as far superior than anything I've ever purchased at any store except for build a soil. They actually have fairly good castings. The plants that grew in those vs the Amazon purchased ones and the soil health was much better overall

            This year I decided to start a blog about smoking and growing weed. I found many images for my blog on depositphotos. There are hundreds of pictures on different themes like phuket imagesโ€‹. Stock photos can save me a significant amount of time compared to organizing and conducting a photoshoot. They allow me to find the right image for your project quickly. I use them all the time.โ€‹

            Woohoo what a day!!! I got so much done. 11 days of drying and it was time to trim up and bag up. I did the Mandarin and the UG by hand because there was a lot of popcorn sized buds. I didn't want them to become salad in the bowl trimmer. The CBD on the other hand has big golf ball sized buds so I just did her in the trimmer.

            So here are the numbers
            Mandarin Zkittlez 75g after trim 2.6oz
            End Game x Grandpa Stash aka UG 75g 2.6oz
            White widow CBD 144g after trim. 5.3oz ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
            For a total of 10.5oz of buds. Not to mention I still have the GSC that should be done in a week. I'll probably be short an oz or 2 from a whole pound off of 4 plants. Not too shabby!! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿชด

            I also transplanted all the seedlings to their final home. The transplanting could have went better than it did. All but 1 fell apart when I tried putting them in the hole. They held up after taking the cup off but fell apart on the flip. I'm expecting some kind of transplant stress for sure. I'll be surprised if they don't show any stress. (I did add some myco and azos into the hole... Maybe it's enough and it's also why I tried using those custom basket cups with some success)...... But what's done is done. Today is 9 days since the seeds popped. I probably could have waited a few more days for the photos but I really wanted to get that auto transplanted so I just did all of them.

            2 pots will have a cover crop and 2 will not. The one without will have one of those fabric hairnets covering the top to prevent fungus gnats from getting in. I'm to the point where there's only a few gnats but if I get lazy now, then I'll just have to deal with another outbreak. Everything was good until like 2 weeks before I had to chop and I got a small wave. I put some BTI in the water and sprayed the topsoil with neem oil and rosemary/peppermint oil; alternating between the 2 so they don't build up a resistance. All this trouble from some crappy castings from Amazon. Now I make own castings and if I need any them I get them from build a soil.

            When the GSC is finally done, I'm going to take the soil from that Earth Box and from the other, mix them both together and let them sit for 2 weeks. Then I'm going to get one of those soil tests from Amazon. I think it was called MySoil for $30. They had others for $35 to $50. I'm going to test it, see what's going on, add only what I need to add and it'll be ready for the next grow. Spending 30 on a test is much cheaper than buying new peat/Coco, new perlite/pumice, new castings, new amendments everything new. When in reality I might just need a few tablespoons of calcium maybe some nitrogen. I want to be as low cost as I can and I want to recycle. It totally works if done right.

            I have the MAC and Pineapple Express in the Coots Soil recipe that's been brewing since NOVEMBER 8TH๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. Talk about some rich, black looking and amazing smelling soil ๐Ÿฅฐ. The Tangie got the NLS Coco/perlite/castings plus extra calcium and magnesium. The Blue Dream is in Peat/ Fox farm Happy frog/perlite/castings mix with Gaia Green amendments. I got these for free when my friend decided to give up on trying to grow his own so I wanted to give it a try since so many people swear by it. I figured the blue dream is a good choice because she does well in all kinds of soils. And she's a hardy cultivar. I just followed the instructions on the container 3Tbsp per gallon of soil of the all purpose and the power bloom. I also added the Gaia green basalt rock dust and Glacial Rock Dust 1Tbsp per gallon of soil. Yeah he got the whole Gaia Green amendments package. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Win for me! I like the Rock Dust better than I like the coarse rock from build a soil.

              12 hours later and they're looking good. Maybe I got lucky and no transplant shock.... I'll only be able to tell after watching the time lapse but they all look good!

                So this grow is all autos or photos? Man your going perpetual grows now i dig it. I love soil building. I used up my tote for my 4 growing in the tent now. It was newly made few months ago. 3 of my plants are looking good but may of been too hot for the white widow x purple kush cross. It's really stunted but growing, leaf looks bad on her. Gave her a big drink of mixed water + epsom salts today. Good luck this run

                They're all photos except for the Tangie. That was my last seed of the 420 Fast Buds autos. I was originally setting up for a perpetual grow mixing autos and photos but I don't think I'm going to do that. Too hard to manage quality on a little room; even with the tents. Seedlings, veg and bloom all have different temp and humidity requirements so VPD ends up wacky. I rather focus on a full round from seed to finish so I can get the best quality I can get. If I get a decent amount this run, in probably going to take a break during the summer....... But we all know I'm full of shit.... What am I supposed to do all summer? Of course I have a plan. I want to do 1 autoflower seed per earth box. I wanna see what happens when a good autoflower seed has 10+ gallons of awesome soil, with perfect moisture and all the space it could possibly need. I'm curious how big she'll get.
