2nd year adventures

I wish I had dispensaries open already in Missouri! I bought Sensi NL without ever trying it. In fact, the only strains I've ever bought seeds for after sampling the bud are Sensi Skunk #1 (smoked it 30 years ago when it was one of the few alternates to brickweed) and Barney's Farm Acapulco Gold (the first legal purchase I ever made in CO). I'm probably going to get some Rare Dankness Ghost Train Haze seed even though I'm good on seeds for a while. I bought an ounce on its reputation alone and was not disappointed.
 
UndergroundFarmer Rare Dankness GTH is on my list of things to grow one day. Not sure if you've seen it but there is a YouTube video where they tour the Rare Dankness grow op and dispensary. I believe the series is called Cannacribs lol. Problem is they don't care that brand of seed here at the local shop. And I dont want to use Seedsman during the pandemic. Next year!
 
This 8x4 is exceeding all expectations. Trichome-laden, fragrant, rock hard buds as far as the eye can see

Other tents are doing great as well. Will plan to post an update about that wave closer to the weekend
 
I'm seeing slightly more amber than I usually do by the time I harvest -- that's the plan this time around.

My concern is to not let it go too long as I understand amber means THC has degraded to CBN. At the same time, and perhaps even more important, I really want to avoid harvesting early as I hear that can cause anxiety. Still trying to find the sweet spot
 
My understanding is that as long as you have some amber trichomes, you probably won't have to worry about anxiety. Let us know!!!
 
Thanks SoOrbudgal. Yes, I would say this one is a personal best/record. Actually going to weigh this one for curiosity's sake. Planning to cut it all down tomorrow. Growing it under the LED in a cooler and drier basement environment really seemed to help with terpene and trichome production.
 
Hey Jennifer28 thanks for stopping by and welcome to the forum. Here's a general overview of my process which I gathered from GWE website and tips from a lot of friendly people around here.

Canopy
I let my plants get to about 7 nodes and then I top them down to the 5th node and start training them in a way which is very similar to the guide @MRFURLEY provides as part of his "plant training" thread. This method combined with a trellis netting (called a "scrog") for support is what I did to create the canopy you see here.

I also defoliate (remove leaves) and "lollipop". These are terms you can search on the website as needed.

Lighting
I use LED "quantum boards" primarily that are about 240 actual watts, 3500k spectrum, LM301B diode. That's all technical speak that you could use in a Google search to find a similar product as needed. I made mine from individual parts purchased from ali baba.

I also use CMH/LEC fixtures. But I dont like them as much because they're hot (which requires more ventilation equipment and could destroy terpenes).

Nutrients
I am still on my first bag of Mega Crop and really happy with it. This all in one nutrient is sometimes combined with a carbohydrate during flowering stage but could grow beautiful buds on it's own.

Medium
I use a 70/30 coco perlite mix

Let me know if you have any specific questions I missed
 
Well folks the 8x4 is done and I am very happy with results. Drying for almost 2 days at this point in a room with RH 50-60 and temp 21-23C. A touch warmer and more humid than I ordinarily.like but we're dealing with an early heat wave. Dehumidifier working OT now. I suspect that will help me get RH into low 50s high 40s for the better part of 2 weeks left to dry. Will post dry weight as an FYI.
 
Sampling latest batch of Gorilla Zkittlez and it is so much better than the first. Much more smooth and seems to be exactly what I need at night. Hard hitting sedative type high that will hopefully pit me to bed in time.

The first batch was so harsh i felt bad about growing it a second time (thinking results would be the same). But after a longer flush and longer more carefully monitored dry and cure i have to say this batch is a win 😎😆

I get what you're saying. We're in a heat wave here mid 30s with like damn humidity the toilet is leaking, can't have a glass of anything without a puddle under it. I'm drying in 28 c air-conditioned room with a dehumidifier I empty a couple gallons a day and it's still in the high 50s. They've been hanging for 5 days now with lots of circulation that seems to be keeping them a o k. But it's a slow process compared to what I dried in 3 days in April. 35 c today and then 8 c on Saturday with a chance of Frost. I love northern Ontario.
 
Yeah man I'm from Ontario as well so it sounds like we're in same boat. Managing to keep it low 50s with dehumidifier on 24/7. So far they still smell really good. I read slow dry is best so maybe this all works out in the end.
 
8x4 drying in low 20s temp (C) and high 40s-low 50s RH. Smells great but I would say about a week to go... and the next hydro bill is going to cost a fortune!

2x4 now has 480w instead of 240w and doing well

4x4 now has 480w LED and 315W CMH ☀️😎

When I planned to compare LED vs CMH I didnt stop to think that I would have some lights (that were in 8x4) available after that tent finished.

8x4 tent and equipment has been cleaned, disinfected and disassembled until closer to fall

Oh and i almost forgot... say hello to Mama Mokum:

keeping her in veg all summer long and will use her to cut my clones for fall 2020 grow

So far the plan to grow enough to last all summer is shaping up to be a huge success! 🙏
