Greetings from the gher!

Yeah, I was looking at those, kinda pricey. I know PAR is the true parameter to measure for light that is useful to the plant, not the human. But PAR meters are WAY more expensive than LUX meters. Could one use a $20 LUX meter accurately enough for government work, or are they just a complete waste of time and Amazon free shipping?
 
Death Star is progressing, but slowly. Some of the pistils up high are darkening and scroiling up, and what I can zoom in on trichomes still look pretty clear. Still not much scent, though. A little lemony, but sort of a musty cellar odor too. She's both turning purple and wilting and losing leaves. I've been defoliating moderately-heavily in this grow and I'm starting to worry I over did it, if the buds are eating the nutrients out of the leaves too fast and she wont have enough. Would it be bad to mix a little grow nutrients in with bloom nutes to slow down the wilting?

I decided I couldn't wait anymore, and Jack Herer became her new roommate. I hope she doesn't crazy stretch before Death Star is done.

I hope your all growing well. Peace.

I bet she explodes for you! It will be fun to compare how they grow. Which genetics do you have? I got mine as a clone from a dispensary so I don't know whose Jack it is, other than it was good enough for someone to propagate and sell. I've always heard that Sensi is the real(est) deal.
 
Thanks Tat, she's the first indica I've grown, and the first to turn purple, it's beautiful! Even though I prefer sativa-doms, I may switch to growing strictly for color. Not really, but it sure is something new to enjoy in this wonderful hobby.
 
Harvest has begun! She didn't get heavily encrusted in frost, but she's pretty, gorgeous fall colors. Also, very little smell, faintly of coffee and some cat pee (uggghh, I have issues with cat pee).

Her pistils darkened up faster than I thought they would. I can't get a good picture with it, but I finally figured out my USB microscope and I'm finding almost all cloudy trichomes and a few random amber ones.

I too will wait until she's dry before I weigh her out.

Of course I can't tell if it helped to add a 1/4 dose of grow nutrients to bloom nutrients I fed occasionally as the leaves were wilting and fading rapidly.

Yesterday, I tipped over the little guy for the 3rd time, and realized he had been trying to commit suicide this whole time. We agreed that this world wasn't right for him, the next was waiting eagerly. He only got his first real leaves a little over an inch across, and the second node was just visible to the naked eye.

Sigh...
 
Ha! I totally stole it from place but thought it fitting🤪 thanks for saying i& I like it too.
Delighted you checked in. Stay warm & grow on!
 
I've got the Sensi Jack Herer regular seeds, cuz that's what I understand as well: that theirs is the OG. Haven't grown it yet; really want to.
 
Really beautiful, Dingus!!! I love the wooden support structure, and your manifolding looks fabulous in the last picture. Very interesting how she's got little aroma now; I wonder if it will develop as she cures. Can't wait to hear the SMOKE REPORT!!!
 
Thanks Tat! Those are 36 inch skewers that I found at our local WalMart alternative (called BiMart here). I poked 4 of them into the soil, and then zip-tied horizontal cross pieces together into a flat square. By the time the thought crossed my mind, it was much easier than trying to slip a tomato cage over the bush.

I actually did smoke a bit. I tried a cloning-late-in-flower experiment in progress (no roots yet), so I had a couple immature larfy buds that I dried in my nova, and then smoked. It was only enough to where I think I felt a tiny buzz, but I didn't go racing off into paranoia land. It only tasted like burning plant. But she sure has been pretty to look at.
 
Death Star Harvest phase 2 awaits. She is sitting under a Roleadro 400w COB light, and next to a GalaxyHydro 300w which is feeding her tent-mate. I haven't turned Death Star in about a week, and I know this is informal, but the side that is closer to the GalaxyHydro seems frostier and a little fatter in the buds. I've got a side by side grow experiment in mind with multiple clones in the same bin.

Jack Herer is stretching into week 3, got a haircut and lollipopping, and clones cut. I like cutting clones, it feels like gardening. Even if I don't really have a plan to grow them.

Death Star yielded another little harvest of top buds, it's taking very long for the lower buds to mature. But I'm going to wait till they are good and thickly frosted, and more than a little amber in the trichomes. I can't get a good picture with my USB microscope. I'll figure it out. So far, I have 5.2oz dried, curing in jars.

Of course, it's dry enough to smoke, but not cured. So I'm smoking it. It's nice,gentle, sleepy high. What little fuel and cat pee smell were there have faded in the jar, leaving a faint, cut grass/mildly cheesy scent. The smoke is smooth, but little flavor.

As Death Star fades away, Jack will rise and become the star of the show. She will be joined by her clone in DWC who will have a few weeks of catch up to do, but as you can see, she has grown from a little clone cut from her 18" tall mother, to about 10 inches now. She is sharing her Scnorklbin with a Holy Grail seedling who looks like she wishes the nutes were stronger. But Jack likes American Beer noots.

I have tied her down for LST with a fishing weight and soft tie.
