Officially First Week of Bloom.

It's been 7 days since I flipped to 12 hours. This is normally where I start to count the days.

[SoOrbudgal]

So you see what to officially call it " first weed of bloom " ? I count when i see small budlets. That's pretty good 7 days.

[No3odiesShad0w]

I must have pocket posted that lololol. I started writing it out then I went to go take a nap and I must have fallen asleep and posted it

[No3odiesShad0w]

Yeah it's been 7 days since I flipped so that's usually when I start counting. Some people start counting as soon as they flip but I've noticed that when I do that I'm usually like a week or two past the "breeder recommended flowering time". So I let them have that 7-day transitional period

Officially this starts Bloom!

It's been 1 week since I flipped to bloom. Now I can start counting flowering days. The plants have sensed the change and the stretch has started. I've been busy with the LST and clipped some fan leaves to expose more sights. The nets are up and ready.... I'm not going to weave like I normally do but rather use it as a guide for the stems.

The pineapple Express, I bet will be a 5ozer. She's a BEAST! Last plant that was this big for bloom was the white widow that gave me 5oz of flower. She's huge, bushy and growing mad. I'm noticing some red stems (as always 😑) when she started going into stretch. I sprayed her with cal mag and next watering in making a castings tea with castings FROM MY OWN WORM BIN!!!🪱💪 It's 4 months old and THRIVING!! Last feeding I found a Wormgy the size of a tennis ball so they're happy, healthy and horny.

Only for the Tangie because auto.
The Tangie is doing fantastic. Flowers popping up everywhere. She hasn't started to stretch much yet .... I'm hoping she gets a bit bigger. (I think this is the last time I'm ever transplanting an auto I get so much better results when I direct sow. As far as photos go I don't mind I could still transplant that, I'm just not going to use a huge container like that again. At least not without my baskets)
She's mean and green and starting to smell like oranges. Hopefully we're not going to have another repeat like the Mandarin. It was smelling like oranges the whole entire growth through and after drying and curing it just tastes like grapes there's no orange terps to be found.... I don't know where all those orange terps went.🤷♂️

The Mac is doing okay. She's def the runt. I would have really liked to give her another week to grow before I flip her into bloom but that just wasn't possible. So I'm not expecting to get much out of her maybe an ounce or two. Still excited about her. I remember when I tried some good Mac and I've been dying to have some again.

The Blue Dream is doing great as always. I haven't grown a bad blue dream yet. No matter how much I abuse her, I still get some great results and great flower. I'm already out of my last blue dream so I'm eager for more!

My oyster mushrooms are just about ready to start pinning. The seed spawn jars have gotten their first signs of fluff and the pineapple kombucha that I made a few days ago is also gone ....I still have 7 more days before the next batch is ready..... Everyone loved it so much I sold each bottle for 5$ ......I made a whole $30 which helped pay for some of my cancer meds. It's all working out pretty well. Soon the SCOBY is going to be big enough to split into 2 SCOBY's and I'll be brewing 2 gallons at once. I even dedicated a whole cabinet to it lololol. Ever since I started drinking it I've been feeling so much better with the medications wiping out all the microbes in my intestines I wasn't able to absorb nutrients from my food. Then I started with the kombucha and the keifer and I went a whole month without getting sick. That's a HUGE success. Because all those hospital visits are super expensive. I'll never pay off my hospital debts before I die.

Anyways, The Dropbox has been updated with the most recent weeks videos for your enjoyment. Feeling we're going to see big flowers starting to develop and it's going to be awesome to get it on camera.

Happy growing friends! 🪱🪴🍄

Man oh man... Another week already?? This week... Keep On Brewin'. ..... Is the theme. Lots of tea!

We are on day 49 for the autoflower Tangie and we are starting week 2 of bloom (3 weeks since flipping) for the other 3 photoperiods.

VPD 1.05kPa
CO2 900ppm
DLI 50@ 12hrs for the Tangie 1100PPFD
DLI 35-40@ 12hrs for the rest. 800-900PPFD
Temps 68 - 78°F (20-25.5°C)
Humidity 55% - 58%

Let's get into it with the Tangie. She looks like she's done "stretching" but she's got plenty budsites and she's flowering strong💪 she's got nice colors on the leaves and if you see in the time lapse, she's praying for light on the daily! She's one happy auto that's over halfway done? If the 70 day flowering time is true then she's got 20 days to go. Tonight she's getting some castings tea with 2 tbsp NLS Flower Power and castings from my own worm bin🪱!! That should give her everything she needs until harvest.

The pineapple Express..... Like I said...a beast! I don't even need to train this lady because she filled out that whole 2x2 area by herself. I'm so proud of her 🥰 She looks like she could use some food so I'm going to top dress with a little NLS Autoflower(because dammit I gotta use it somewhere) and the castings tea that's been brewing. That should hold her over until harvest as well.

The MAC is still the runt. She's looking better on the time lapse. Finally getting some speed in growth but not much. Just did to much harm with that transplant. Oh well. It's cool on the stalk, You could see where the stunt happened and then when the stretch started it's too bad those nodes in between where the stunt happened didn't stretch then she would have been fine.

The Blue dream is a big ol starfish. Huge leaves, great growth and she's happy. She's the one in the Gaia Green experiment. So far for Veg.....Gaia Green is 🔥🔥 but then they also have it the easiest with blue dream..... She'll grow in anything. I'm glad she's doing so well..... My favorite cultivar and my favorite smoke. Can't wait to have more.

All but the MAC have THICK stalks. The pineapple and blue dream are like tree trunks!! They're going to have some good yields. The self watering bases are working like a dream. I'm coverted..... Bottom watering wicking ONLY! So easy, you can't over and under water.. Gravity and physics do the heavy lifting. Especially when growing in living soil like I do..... This is a godsend! I throw on some mosquito bits (BTI) on top and they keep the gnats at bay while keeping the microbes happy. I still need to test the Coco out more but peat is here to stay for sure! The soil from my earth boxes are in bins and I seeded them with worms to get the soil ready for my next grow. 2 plants 1 per tent per earth box..... How big will they get? 🤔🤔🪴. How big can get get?

I made more kombucha, my mushroom seed spawn is colonizing, my worms are fed, fed the SCOBY, my mother gave me 3 cuttings of some African Violet, brewed and watered the plants with castings tea..all is well for once. The Mandarin and UG are 🔥🔥🔥 especially that UG. Talk about a surprise out of left field. These were freebie seeds and they've moved up to my top 10 list. That cherry frankincense gassy taste is EVERYTHING!!! I'm a little disappointed in the Mandarin It smelled so much like orange and it just lost all of those orange terps. So disappointing. It tastes like blackberries rather than cherry. I did notice though that I probably bagged it too soon I probably should have dried it maybe for another day or two but it's still smokes well not as good as the UG.

In 10 more days the Girl Scout cookies will be ready for sampling!!! So there's another one in dying to try. Just keeping busy and thinking up new projects. That heated cabinet is PACKED with all my hobbies. Health is getting better, so it's making me want to do more things. I think that kombucha is really doing what it's supposed to be because I even started doing light exercises to try and lose weight.....I haven't had energy for that in a long while....... All about that fungus, yeast, bacteria, plant life (and other helpful microorganisms). Nature knows... Nature got that shit figured out.... It's fun to tap into that energy.

Anyways....linkie for the thingies in the comments ABOVE (link still valid). Happy growing y'all 🪴🪱🍄

My worm bin🪱 is 4 months old!!! I used half cup of castings from the bin in my castings tea. The worms are doing great and they're happy. The next grow in the Earth boxes will also have half gallon of castings added from my bin. By then it'll be 6 months old and the castings are going to be ready for harvest. So I'm not going to take all of them out, I'm going to seed more trays. I put some worms into the soil in the pots and the soil in the bins waiting for the next round... Just going worm crazy. I'm liking this water only grow method.... Lazy gardening is totally for me because I can have way more hobbies🤣🤣. I can also stay high longer and have more delicious flowers for half the effort.....I mean for peats sake.... The pineapple Express practically trained herself into a perfect 2x2 square...... LAZY GARDENING FTW!!

I put the root ball from the Mandarin and UG into the worm bin. All that's left is a stump the size of my thumb.... They ate everything else. Just amazing... Not to mention all the predator mites in there, protozoa, all sorts of fungi and bacteria all working together. Plus it's fun to poke the worms. 🤣 They always do a wiggly dance for me 😭🪱🪱.

If all this works the way it's supposed to....I have enough material and seeds to grow for the next 3 years with only the cost of electricity and water.....I won't need to spend a single penny on anything. Just straight reward. It took a bit of money to invest into getting all the stuff. From tents to fans, lights, nutrients, soil, pots, climate control and everything in between.... Probably around $1500-$1800 ish over 3 years..... But I've gotten at least 3+ pounds so far...... And the best grow was my last at a WHOOPING 15.8OZ total off of 4 plants!!!! 😱😱. I'm hoping to break that pound with this run..... That Mac got me worried but it's fun. I'll break the pound and maybe I'll even break 1.5 pound off 4 plants. The sky is the limit. And the soil my ground. 🫡🙏

Also the 3 African Violets that joined the family. So interesting they root from a leaf cutting. From what my mom told me, they root super easy. Should be purple, red and pink of they all make it👍

[No3odiesShad0w]

Hey I got a question
Bluey or SoOrbudgal can y'all do me a favor? Look at the pineapple Express..... Anything stand out besides the red stems? She's been growing really slow. She shot out like a bad out of hell and now she looks limp and light colored. What threw me off the most was the watering. It's been 10 days since the last watering and there was still water in the tray. I've watered the Tangie 3x in that time 3 gallons. The Blue dream even the Mac has had 2 watering in that time..... The pineapple is the biggest, she should be water hungry. I did give her a top dressing and some castings tea as well as a little cal mag in the water. She's looking a "little better" maybe..... My vision is so poor and the color blindness doesn't help anything. Just wonder if I'm missing something. Because I look at the tangie and she's getting 1150ppfd and she's STILL begging for more. Shit even the MAC decided she's got something to prove.

I know I've heard or read somewhere or something about pineapple Express being a finicky cultivar but I don't remember what it was that it needed. I just remember that strawberry cough likes a lot of magnesium lolol that doesn't help me with this

[SoOrbudgal]

Well i'm not sure what photo she is but i've looked at all the above a few times and blew them up so i get a better look. I have a light greenish/yellowish Slurricane yep the biggest of the bunch. I've tried feeding it full strength bloom nutes 2x and given her bat & fish poo juice she still is that color but seems happy. But she does dry out within 4days now that she's in flower, yours isn't yet.

I use you know just a fan on a stand outside to blow the stagnint air when i open the tent when lights go on and i leave for a hour then turn it off. Winter is challanging for sure, but your plant sure looks healthy and setting up to bloom maybe? Have you got her set now at 12/12? I don't know why phenos of same strain look different when they grow and all's the same? Maybe try feeding her a tad bit more she might just be a bigger more hungrey nitro gal? Fella let's not talk about vision man oh man i don't even drive at night anymore if i don't have too.

[No3odiesShad0w]

SoOrbudgal I got those yellow tinted glasses for driving at night time otherwise I wouldn't even try. Being blind SUCKS

[No3odiesShad0w]

Bluey I didn't see the film? Should I? Will it grow better if I do?? 🤣🤣🙏

[No3odiesShad0w]

Here's photos I just took..... She's looking a little yellow (not helped by the yellow diodes in the Viparspectra lights). She looks a little better than a few days ago.....I think she might have just been hungry? It's been almost 2 months and she's been on water only diet. Even in an organic soil, 2 months is a good time to break down most nutrients in the soil. Maybe I just stretched it a bit too far? Still a new soil recipe to me so not sure how much battery it's got.

I gave her half cup top dress of that NLS Autoflower soil and I did a castings tea 2 days ago so hopefully in the next few days improvements because look at that Tangie...... My lord. She's getting 1200PPFD that's 51 DLI 😱😱😱. And she's begging for more!!! Even in the time lapse she doesn't drop her leaves until like 20 minutes before lights out... I might be giving Coco another look lol. If I put a photo periods in that...I might get a tree! I just watered them yesterday too (well filled the bases) and the tangie already drank more than half of gallon...

2.5 weeks since I flipped and we got mini buds on all the rest of the girls. Even the MAC looks like she wants to come out and play.

[No3odiesShad0w]

Sorry it's hard taking good clear pictures with the net.

[SoOrbudgal]

She looks like one of my slurricane who's a heavy feeder i'm just cautious about overfeeding but i think i'm going to increase the N portion abit more for her only along with some bloom today. I get those dots in front of my vision at night from those LED headlights and i just don't do the driving i won't stray to far from home city is OK but no country roads.

[No3odiesShad0w]

Some bottom leaves. I think she's just hungry. I'm glad I have her the nutes a few days ago. She's already perked up a little and I have a feeling I'm the next few days she's going to pick back up again. I put cal mag in the water. I fed all the plants expect the Tangie. I think she's got plenty of everything she needs. I suppose after almost 2 months, the battery might need a top up. I'm so glad that blue dream is just fine......I know I day or everytime..... Just love that flower.

[Bluey]

I lose the bottom leaves on a plant or two as they get hit quickly the moment your a bit light on nutes but it's a great indicator as to where you are at earlier on in the grow. I also pour nute mix all over them which does not help with their health.

[No3odiesShad0w]

Well I don't have any liquid nutes but I might do a kelp/cal mag foliar spray tonight.

[No3odiesShad0w]

I'm usually not up this early but I did it just for the pictures....

It's 5 minutes before lights out and the tangy is still praying after a whole night 51 DLI and she's still praying.

I did notice last night the leaves on the pineapple have perked up. I think all she needed was some food. Probably do one last foliar spray tonight. They all have buds starting to form so

[SoOrbudgal]

Brother my best time is 0420 a.m. I love sitting outside listening to the noises and i see the night critters roaming around. I watched a rabbit following a cat the other morning i'm not lying LOL yes it was a domesticated one and huge. Sorry back to your topic..........good to hear the pineapple express enjoyed her meal and perked up.

[SoOrbudgal]

LOL that fish poop does smell bad indoors what's your Mom think of it LOL

[No3odiesShad0w]

SoOrbudgal yeah I'm glad she's looking better. She's def the lightest color of them all.... But she's also the biggest of them all. By Monday I should defoliate .... It's going to be 3 weeks since the flip. They've pretty much almost finished the stretch.

I'm def not a morning person. My plants don't even wake up until 9pm lol but that's because cheaper electricity and better temps. Even though I'm in the city, I still see it of critters. We have lots of wildlife around us so I've seen some odd couples. Also thankfully, I live alone so no worried about the smell..... (Well besides me and my bloodhound nose). Don't have to worry about anyone messing with all my projects and hobbies. My folks don't live too far away. I get the sweet deal of free rent for being a building super. Not a bad deal considering ppl are paying over 2k for a 1 bedroom apt

[No3odiesShad0w]

Now we're blooming! It's Spring!

VPD 1.09kPa
DLI 38-42 photos 890-980PPFD
DLI 48 Tangie. 1050PPPFD
CO2 1040ppm


It's been 3 weeks since I flipped to 12 hours. I gave the plants a defoliation and top dressed 3 of them. They've also all formed budlets. It was only 7 days since I saw the first V shaped petals to little flowers. 👍 If they grow at this rate, I'm gonna have some nice flower!

The pineapple is still looking a little hungry. I top dressed her about 7 days ago and she improved but could use some more food. I think she's just a heavy feeder so I gave her some Gaia Green amendments 3Tbsp All purpose and 3Tbsp Power Bloom into the topsoil with some bokashi to get all that broken down nice and quick. Watered in with some 1/4 dose Recharge. I also planted some cover crop. The topsoil is just looking much better in the pots with the cover crop. It also helps keep it moist so the breakdown of nutrients can happen.

The Tangie is on fire!! She's flowering like crazy. Super long white petals on her, the flowers are thickening up really quickly. She's on day 58 of life. She's easily going to be a 90+day plant but man at this rate, she's going to be HUGE! She already smells like oranges. I love how terpy this cultivar is!

The Mac1 really stretched! I was worried she wouldn't reach the net but all of the main stems have breached the net. Some branches have been even bent over because they got so tall. I defoliated her as well. Since she's lanky, I pulled all the lower bud sites that wouldn't get much light. I left only the top 1/3 portion of the plant. Hopefully she'll grow some gold ball sized nugs since she'll have less to focus on.

The Blue Dream as always is SMOOTH SAILING. Easiest cultivar to grow. I defoliated her and did some LST on the higher branches. 7 days since the first flowers and she's already got huge budlets. I can already see that she's going to be massive!! Calling it 3.5oz+ for her. The more the better.

My oyster mushrooms started pinning and fruiting so I'm doing a time lapse of that as well. Everything is in full bloom just in time for spring 🌼🌱
We got 45-55 +/- days left for the photos since they're all 60-70 days flowering time.
The Tangie maybe around 30ish days +/-

So the autoflower grows for a similar length of time as these photoperiods. In that same time, the auto will grow 2-4oz of flower while the photo will probably give you 3-8oz(or more depending how long you veg). Not to mention some ppl run 24 hours light for autos. The electric bill must be crazy. I only do 12 hours for my auto because the photo next to her needs only 12 so I have no other choice but she's still getting the DLI she's needs in that 12 hours.

Like always the last week's compilation is in the drop box under W7. Happy growing friends🪱🪴🍄

Updated with all weeks

[No3odiesShad0w]

I found some lemon cherry x gelato bud in a dispensary so I bought it to compare it to my UG since it's got lemony, cherry and jet fuel profile. Very similar in smell and taste but mine blows it out of the water. I picked the biggest dispensary bud and picked a random top bud from the UG. The dispensary should be buying from me lololol my bud is SO much better and I'm not one to brag but like dang they charge 55 to 60 an 8th and it's trash. It doesn't even take much to grow really good stuff so why sell garbage for primo prices?

Some top shots of the girls. Enjoy

[No3odiesShad0w]

You could definitely tell something is up even just by looking at the thumbnails she keeps getting lighter green and lighter green and more yellow looking. I put some of the NLS auto flower nutes. I gave her a week and during that week it just seems like she got more yellow. So two days ago I gave her a decent helping of the Gaia green nutrients. Let's see if that helps. She's praying she doesn't look unhappy she just looks hungry... Like really hungry. I don't want to overdo it either and then end up with nutrient burn but at the same time I don't want to underdo it and then have an underperforming plant when I know she's got the potential to do something great.

[No3odiesShad0w]

I ended up putting like 20 worms into the pineapple Express pot. They burrowed right away because they don't like the light..... Even though they don't have eyes to see the light lololol if there's something wrong with the roots, they'll resolve that situation in the next few days. I also added some of the GH CaliMagic (because it's a nitrate and she needs that nitrogen) into the water in the base. Let's see what happens. I have more faith in those worms than most of the other products.

47-52 -ish DLI @12hr
Total Day 63
Bloom 21 days/28 since flip

It's that time! 21 days into bloom, 28 days since we flipped to 12hrs. The plants have been defoliated and they have been given their top dress of phosphorus releasing bacteria and food for them to process. Now it's time to sit back and watch the flowers get swole! I planted some cover crop in the pineapple and the tangie. I noticed it's helping keep the topsoil moist in the other 2 pots. Plus I seeded the pots with worms, I want them to have the organic matter that they need and want to survive. I removed the net. It wasn't serving any purpose this time. The plants didn't stretch too much. All it was doing was blocking the light.

First off the Tangie! Tangie tangie tangie.... My my my... She's on day 62 and she looks like she's still got some way to go judging by all the new petals shooting out all over. She won't be done by day 70 but maybe by day 90 or 100 for sure. The side colas are already as tall as my thumb and twice as thick, meanwhile, the top cola is as big as my whole fist and just as thick!!! She's frosty AF. If you tap her, the whole room smells of orange and fuel. I'm gonna need to get some more seeds of this cultivar. Now that I know what she likes, I can really try to push her.

Second up is the pineapple Express. I think she's finally starting to pick up some color. She's flowering nicely and she's praying daily but still looking a little in the lighter side over the past 3 weeks, I have given her a top feeding each week and it's still not enough!! I gave her the rest of the NLS Autoflower super soil. It helped so I gave her 4Tbsp of Gaia Green All purpose and 4Tbsp of Gaia Power Bloom, 1Tbsp Glacial Rock Dust and 1 of Basalt Rock Dust. I have also started giving her the GH CaliMagic cal mag in the bases. 1ml per 2L I don't want to give her a full dose because it might be too much magnesium. I hope the extra nitrogen is helping. She's huge, she's got a huge stalk.. like a tree.... She's got lots of flowers. She probably needs food.
She's drinking water again. Takes her 3 days to go through 2 gal.

Third is the MAC. She's FINALLY finished stretching. While all the other plants were starting to flower, she was still stretching. You can see the top nodes got SOOO long. She's def a stretcher. Good to know for the future. They make for good scrogging plants. The flowers aren't building very quickly but they're coming along. The way I trimmed her, there's only 4 to 5 flower sites on each stem so hopefully they'll get chunky. Everyone got a top dress of the NLS Flower Power so that should get the flowers going. It's a good inoculant for phosphorus producing bacteria and gives them the food they need. I still have enough to last me 2 more grows and I'm not about to throw it out.

And finally the Blue Dream. She's full steam ahead! Those flowers are forming so quickly. She's only 3 weeks into bloom and already forming domes and second layers. The spacing is pretty close between the buds so it's possible that they'll turn into big giant buds. Always an easy cultivar to grow that give back. I trimmed her up nicely so there shouldn't be any larf on her. Super excited about her. She's going to be a winner!!

This is boring time. Just water and watch grow. At this point I'm not going to load the pineapple with anymore nutes. I don't want to overdo it on the nitrogen during bloom. Besides she's focusing on flowers not leaf growth. I have her plenty top dress for the amount of soil that's there. The other things I'm happy about is the LACK OF GNATS!!! Those shitty castings I got on Amazon were such a long battle to fix. Finally I don't have any adults and no babies. I just sprinkle some mosquito bits on the top soil; that's it! The moisture from the soil releases the BTI from the bits into the soil preventing and gnat babies from taking hold. Just in case any adult gets in and wants to lay babies. It's so nice I can leave my tea uncovered and not have a fly in it instantly 🤣
To keep busy, I'm going to be amending the soil from the Earth boxes. I put worms in there too eat up all the root matter and process any other food in there. I need to add neem, help, crab, alfalfa meal, insect frass, ag lime, oyster shell, dolomite lime, gypsum, basalt, glacial rock dust, langbeinite and rock phosphate. Some charged biochar, humic acid and castings from my worm bin a little perlite and some fresh peat to replace any that has broken down. It will have a month to sit around and have the worms decompose everything. Then it'll go back into the earth box for my summer auto grow. Sweet Zombie (because it should be dried and cured in time for Halloween) and some purple gelato. 1 SEED, 1 EARTH BOX, 10 + GALLONS OF SOIL. I'm going to direct sow, so I'm expecting then to get HUGE!

Week 8 time lapse link will be in the comments. From now on the time lapse will get boring. It's hard to see flower grow compared to foliage.
Anyways Happy Growing and Happy Easter 🐰🐣

I don't normally like to flex because I strongly believe in being humble but God dammit I can't help it with this one. I have a Cannatrol Cool Cure Device on its way to me!!!😱😱😱.
My best friend needs his kitchen redone. It's falling apart and I'm pretty sure no one's done any work on it since the house went up in the 1950s. So it's going to be a complete demo. He was going to have some professional renovators come and they gave him an estimate of 20 to $25,000. I told him I would do it for 5k as long as he got the materials. So I won the construction bid!!! Today I got an email from Cannatrol saying We processed your payment and we're getting your order ready..... I'm thinking what order??? I surely didn't order anything from there because I don't have the money for anything that they offer.... So I look at the billing information and sure enough it's my best friends doing. So my message him and asked him what's going on..... His response was well you just saved me over $15,000 on this remodel so here's your "tip" totally wasn't expecting it....... I'm eternally grateful for this guy That's why I'm going to go OD on that kitchen for him. I already did the flooring in his apartment after the kitchen I'm pretty sure he's going to have me too the bathroom as well lolol.

Now I really can't wait until this girl is over so I could test out my new toy!!

[Mollisol]

That is awesome! Always cool when your skills payoff.

[No3odiesShad0w]

It should be here Saturday or Sunday. I'm super excited.... The Tangie will be the first to try it out. She's got like 20 to 30 days left. Super hype about it. I was really stressing the drying and curing because in the summer time this attic apartment gets so hot and the insulation under the roof has since disintegrated and just turn into like dryer fluff. You know the lint that you get from the dryers. So there isn't much insulation from the heat nor from the cold. Now I'm going to have a dedicated unit for it. Maybe I'll do a side-by-side comparison? One inside the cool cure another inside a C vault and the third the grove bag. That might be a cool little experiment to run. Maybe if the pineapple Express yields a few ounces I'll be able to stick 2 oz in each device and then later compare the cure. 🤔🤔 Giving myself ideas

I got to find out how much lab testing is for cannabis. If it's not too expensive I'll definitely start sending my weed out so that I could get a legit lab report.... They also have that one device ... The tCheck. I may have to get one this fall of lab testing is too expensive. NJ still a baby in the weed game so it's probably going to be pricy. The plus side with the lab is that you get a full cannabinoid report as well as terpenes.. with the tCheck, You're just getting I think only THC and maybe CBD results. And we know nowadays that THC doesn't make the high. THC by itself is fairly unpleasant It's all the other cannabinoids with the THC that give the really good highs.

It is HERE!! IT IS HERE IT IS HERE!!!!!!! 🥳🎉🎉🎉

OMG I can't believe it's here. The UPS guy....a champ... He helped me carry it up the 7 flights of stairs to my attic abode. I gave him $20 and some weed.....I think he was more happy about the weed than the $20. He kept smelling it and smelling it and smelling it.

I'm celebration of my new Cannatrol, I ordered a $100 worth of seeds. So I'm getting 16 seeds. Not bad at all. Now that I have a perfect drying and curing device..... Duck 🦆 you summer. I'm growing right through independence day! And into Fall! Best thing I don't need to be around for a week at a time. If I fill up my bases before leaving. I'm good for 5 days. Granted I won't be able to do the time lapse unless I get a larger memory card then I could do maybe three or four days at a time.... But even if I just cut my bud down, I can put it in the Cannatrol and have the freedom to do other things. Drying and curing always stressed me out the most out of the whole process because temperatures and humidity was always my enemy. Especially since I have the small studio apartment it's really hard to have separate rooms for separate temperatures and humidities. I kind of have to middle ground everything and hope for the best.... NOT ANYMORE!!!

in about 15 days or so, the Tangie will be ready.....yooooooo hilarious. It's by 420 Fastbuds and she's inline to finish on 4/20. The timing! She's on day 68. It's possible. I cut the last one at 84 days. I can't imagine how amazing it's going to turn out. I swear this is going to be a huge game changer!! In the last year I improved SO MUCH I've come a long way and I have so much more in store! Y'all just wait!

About the unit:
It's basically a wine fridge but there's definitely some different technology in there. There's fans and thermoelectric cooling. It has these nice metal shelves for you herbs and it even has a light inside so you can appreciate your work without having to open it up. It comes with keys and "a lock". Honestly it's not keeping anybody out if they really wanted to get in. Even when locked the door still partially opens up. I'm guessing this is just so they can say it's "child proof". The display doesn't seem to turn off at all ... The light show behind the fridge also turns off as it comes "inline" as they say in the manual. I'm gonna just cover the front display with some sticky notes because I don't like closing my tents during lights out. IDK if ppl noticed but it gets SO HUMID when the lights go out. The fans will be running at 10 speed in a room that's 50% humidity and it's still like 60 inside the tent. Ridiculous. They don't have a problem venting heat but man those tents suck on humidity. I can see why ppl get bud rot so often if they have them tents closed all the time.
anyways.... Before I get too off track. The unit took only a few minutes to get to the proper settings after I plugged it in.... Which is indicated by the back lights turning off. It comes with a stylus (that I haven't lost yet) to use on the touch panel. It also comes with a can of compressed air to get high on if the fridge doesn't work and you realized you sunk almost 2k into it 🤣🤣🤣. No I kid. It's to clear out the drip tube. It also comes with a sponge in a cup. Yup 2k worth of technology... Sponge in a cup lol

But all jokes aside. I'm so blessed to have awesome ppl around me who wanna see me succeed(so they can tag along for the ride). They know I'm the one with the crazy ideas and one of them is bound to work... But also. WE HAD AN EARTHQUAKE TODAY and multiple aftershocks. IT'S A SIGN! Since when do we have earthquakes and on the day that I got the Cannatrol? Super coincidence. 🤔. Lolol
Either way I can't wait to test it out... Very very soon!!

Happy growings!🪴🪱🍄🌱

Your fridge has a glass front door. You need to keep light out don't you? How will you do that in a well lit grow room? Have you read up much on using one if these. A lit is strain dependent I am hearing as to times and methods. I've always aimed for low and slow but had higher than ideal humidity.

It's UV glass. So it blocks the part of light that actually degrades stuff and the interior light doesn't have to be on. You can turn it off. They also have magnetic blackout covers for the front.... But I have a huge roll of panda film so if I feel it's effecting the quality, I can cut out a rectangle...
But also also once it gets warmer and the AC gets turned on then I'll have the room at 70F/21C I'll be able to close the tents to get 78 in there while the room is 70 and the Cannatrol doesn't have to work extra hard to cool things down. They recommended a room better 70 to 74 so that's perfect. Everyone is going to be happy, including me!

As far as drying and curing in gonna do what they recommend.... Try it on the factory default setting and see if you like the result. You can always adjust the settings. You won't lose terpenes it will just adjust the moisture content or water activity to 0.6-0.65. Just depends if you like your buds dryer or wetter. I'm gonna follow the instructions and the recipe was intended. There's actual science backing their numbers. I'm guessing denser buds will take a little longer to dry and cure than more fluffy kind.

Some new fire genetics to try out in my new Cannatrol!!!
