Next Grow(and the one after that)

[No3odiesShad0w]

You could see I went a little crazy with the diatomaceous earth..... Some leaves are white. I really hope nothing got onto this plant. But I'm going to continue to spray it and load it with a diatomaceous earth and so the buds get a little bit bigger than I'm going to slow down and completely stop hopefully I'm done with this mess because they seem to be isolated only on the biggest plant. Fingers crossed. But I'll win this battle this isn't the first time I battled spider mites hopefully it's the last because I'm just going to take a preventative approach.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

Well i did the 🪓. I was way too worried the mites might spread to the new plants. The trichromes were close. Maybe 50% white or more. It was a big risk. They could have gotten on the news plant if they haven't already but ... I'm happy with it. The next will be twice as good. Already have triple the amount of budlets then i had on the current grow, so it's already promising. Just have to make sure fight any mites that may be around. Not going to let them win.

After 4 days it's ready to go into the jars( I didn't water the4 plant for two days prior so it started kind of drying on the plant already) I'm getting the mini hygrometers in the mail tomorrow, So to be safe I just threw in those two-way humidity packs at 62%. I found a perfect spot in my house where the temperature is a constant 70°, almost all day all night humidity stays at 50% because the rest of my house everything fluctuates so wildly throughout the day.

It was 5 and 1/2 oz wet weight so I'm assuming I'll probably have somewhere between 2-2.5oz. But you have to remember it was severely stunted by all the spider mites... I didn't top or fim. .... I just did a half-assed 90-degree bend and just let it do its thing....... My next ones the screen grows those are going to give me a much bigger yield. There's already four times the amount of budlets that there was on the one I just cut.

Hey man you harvested and didn't give up that's the spirt of learning heck indoor first couple of grows was training and learning my setup. I can't wait to grow indoors again and have outdoor plants also. Enjoy your grow.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

SoOrbudgal. It was a bit hectic. Mainly with finances but finally got there! Only going to get better and better from here on out. I would live to grow outdoors but when i try the plant gets ripped long before it's even ready..... Sucks for me but they sure as shit didn't get high on it. Ppl just suck.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

I hear ya there No3odiesShad0w i'm cutting back on my outdoor grow this coming summer, new area of living for me so i'm just gonna do 2 even though it's legal i'm gonna be in town now. Yes it's going to smell regardless but with so many into growing there own where i'm at we are a band of growers who watch kinda like the gas thieves running around these days, no respect. Dogs an other deterrents.

 

[Bootsy]

your excitement is warranted. that's a nice harvest requiring no justification. the yummy factor will bo high too. admirable to keep the mites down, hopeflly for good. Nice start with the next batch too. your place must have stunk from the flowers!!

 

[Cali]

Nice, really nice harvest. It only gets better and better.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

Bootsy. It didn't smell to bad considering it was just a single small plant. This time around with the 2 large screen grows i expect my whole apartment to smell lovely..... Now if only I could bottle that fragrance and turn it into an air freshener 😂😂 I love when I come into my apartment after work and I just get hit in the face with that smell it's so like welcome and then my brain and body are just like *sighs of relief* I'm home!

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

Literally every single neighbor around me smokes, the ones across the street are cocaine dealers, the ones opposite of me sell everything under the rainbow. Just a bunch of not the most respectable people...... I can't say they're terrible people I've known them for years but I wouldn't put it past them that it was one of them that came and ripped the plants....

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

I mean considering this was my last harvest versus my current harvest..... It's like night and day. One is just fluffy cotton balls of nothing The other one is solid dense heavy rocks of bud. Clearly the information you guys have provided is well worth its salt. So again thank you for the help thank you for this support and thanks for pushing me on forward.

 

[Ckbrew]

Nothing beats experience. Rock on.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

I've been checking daily and NO SPIDER MITES!!!! Wooooo!!! Hopefully smooth sailing going forward. *Fingers crossed*. Still lightly spraying with neem and powdering with Diatomaceous earth; as a preventative method.

The stuff in the jars is chilling in a cool dark cabinet. It's only been 3 days so not much change to really talk about. Humidity is good, temp is good. I air them out a few seconds 2x a day.

Now that this is working..... I'm thinking about my next project. Mushrooms!!! Gourmet kind and colorful.
After mushrooms if the cancer hasn't killed me I actually want to try bonsai art. And try to grow myself a little bonsai tree.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

A bit on the cooler side (65°F) but humidity is dead on. 🙌🎉😱😍🤩

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

Since Amazon didn't return my money for the broken hygrometers, they put the money into my account, i bought this Flower Power additive for the soil I've been using. Hopefully this will help increase yields along with the ScrOG technique this next one should be very rewarding!

The new ScrOG is doing the stretch..... It just started doing the stretch and I'm already running out of screen. 😱 . Very happy and healthy girl. Both are doing very well.
No more pruning for the one in bloom. The other one will get pruned as needed during the stretch. And it will need lots of pruning... It's huge!

I tossed in 2 small plants i was doing some fact finding experimentation on. I didn't want to throw them away. They won't give much but it's better than nothing. Besides I'm still messing around with it. I made a wire heart and I'm going to make it grow into the shape of a heart.

Weed art!!
And no signs of any spider mites either. Still doing light sprays here and there just to be safe.

The stuff curing is doing fantastic. Temp and humidity are dead on... It's looking more and more and smelling more and more like the stuff you get at the dispensary!!!


Should i make compost tea or should i just do a top feeding or both? It doesn't say how often i should add.....i don't want to overdo it either since it's growing so well. But there's like 4x the amount of buds on this plant. It might need some extra help to get those flowers nice and big

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

The whole family. Planted one of the clones into it's forever home with the living and organic soils. When it gets bigger, I'll train it for the screen

The flower power stuff seems to be working. It's been 5 days since i added it and it's growing petals on triplets all over invested of just 1. I'm impressed! And my weed heart is almost filled in. It's going to look awesome. I want to train 1 bud to grow right in the center to be like the flame in the heart.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

Almost forgot. These are doing great. Curing very well and starting to get a hint of that lovely smell with like coffee and blueberry. It's strange but I'm liking it.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

I'm so happy with the results. It actually looks and starting to smell like the stuff from the dispensary. Compare it with the fluff that grew in that miracle grow soil from my last grow...... MAJOR improvement. I went from garbage nothing to actual bud 😱. I'm gladi suck with it because i kept saying "this is my last attempt, no this my LAST attempt(then mites destroyed everything soi didn't want to go out on a big infestation) soi made one last attempt and it paid off. I got rid of my spider mite problem which destroyed 2 separate grows and i finally cracked the code with the soil, watering, pH, nutrients and everything else. It all finally came together. Sure i have only about an ounce but it's my first legit ounce. Next harvest I'm betting minimum 5oz.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

That's the spirt an that's what it's all about. It only gets better much better once you find the niche that works for YOU. It's all about practice an learning by mistakes you will make it happen, then it's like a plane on auto pilot almost.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

OMG the plant is out of space on that screen..... It's already got budlets and it's still growing the amount of growth is just mine boggling. They really do double up during pre bloom. The one on the right went 12hr Feb 23rd, didn't get budlets until about March 15 and now they're getting bigger and bigger pretty fast. Though i think the one on the left might outpace the one on the right. It'll definitely yield more since it's almost double the size compared to the right.

My heart shaped plant is doing great and i even have that little bud in the center that's going to be my "flame" i make sure i cover it with 2 fan leaves to stunt it as much as possible during the stretch soi can get the desired look. With the stretch I'll use the side buds to fill recruiting nicely and weave it together.

Then i have 2 babies getting ready for the next ScrOG grow. Meanwhile in going to take a shot at growing oyster mushrooms. They say they're the easiest so I'm going to give ita shot. Never even considered trying but this success has made me adventurous.

The bud in the jars is smelling more and more like real weed every day. I'm holding off until 420 to try it. That gives it a month long cure. Should be awesome i will let you guys know how it is.

I also have one more experiment going. I'm growing 1 more plant windowsill style. In the morning it's in the window in the kitchen and the afternoon my room window. I want to grow it sun only. The soil is the regular super soil I've been using for all my plants. I except this one too get big. Hopefully not too big but that's okay. It will bloom in the fall off this year. It has many months to go and it's already a foot tall. Fun fun experimentation!!!🙃😈
