And before you know it, you have rooted cuttings in different stages of the grow and now you are required to mix 3 or 4 (5) gallon buckets up to fertigate.

Well this grow got 1st leaf 22 December 2022 so I guess it qualifies.
Grow is in harvest with no more than a couple of weeks to run at most.
What I learnt this grow is my AC is too small to hold 24â°C in late flower and keep the humidity down at 40%RH...So bigger AC when flowering over summer here.
That the cal mag I added is not compitable with the flower nutes I'm using re unstable pH in the tank over time
That I need to act faster when I identify a problem and not just pretend it will go away like magic
That being away from the grow 4 to 6 days at a time is not great for the aesthetics re defoliation or LST.
What a fungus gnats infestation is and what causes it and that they proved harmless
That I am an habitual overwaterer, see above
That my lights are awesome but a bit too close together
To keep Mrs.Bluey away from my seed bank so I don't end up growing different strains with widely different needs that turns the grow into a serious compromise where none get ideal nutes
That some of my trichomes show aqua blue for a short period ðŸ˜

Mrs. Bluey decided that the 4 jars of seed weren't being utilised efficiently and put them all in 1 jar so she could use the other 3 jars. I was lost for words.
I'd like to grow something I've never grown before next grow,. The hunt is on. Lots of life long growers in my area with a wealth of knowledge but almost all outdoor growers...but my love of old sativas doesn't look like waning any time soon.

Yeah - I confess there have been times when I let the girls power through....

I had to watch the transplant carefully when changing grow mediums with a transplant...I had a 1 qt root ball of coir but needed to transplant to dirt for the wife's summer grow....kind of pampered them with G.H trio until the roots started to grow in soil.

Well this grow is still not over and 2 sugar leaves (of hundreds) are showing the little bit of colour, a dark red, and they pulled easily and that is what precipitated the mold attack on my last grow. It's showing on the most stressed and nutrient deficient plant and that plant has the biggest buds and I'm seeing amber on the trikes on the sugar leaves, but not on the flower itself...all whites.
I will harvest and fully trim those buds in 2 days..giving them all a flush now with very small amount of nutes so I can read pH. Will harvest the rest in 6 to 7 days.
I think I'm just about there.
The inability to manage the nutes to suit each plant and the pH instability in my nute tank has impacted quite a bit on yield I reckon. A few tall buds are showing secondary growth on the top of the buds from light stress. Has the quality been effected? Of course, but it still should be great..I'll give it 3 days of darkness the last 3 plants dry and cure so should be fine.
🤞

I do the 3 days of darkness at then end of a 3 or 4 day flush...actually they are watered some during the 3 days but prefer to keep them a little dry.. the strain makes a big difference to how they respond to 3 days of darkness...

I'll do the darkness as I've got to turn the grow room into a dry room come Tuesday as I'll harvest that plant the sugars pulled easily on.
I'm probably a good week off the ones I'll give darkness but at a minimum I will at the very least have all white/cloudy trikes....pretty happy...growing outdoors here you'd be lucky to get this far once in every 10 grows...some never get this far outdoors.

I guess that is why so many people have changed over to auto s..but I have been holding out.. bud trimming - I have always trimmed wet but yesterday I trimmed dry bud and it was much easier and cleaner...the buds came out looking really good and I could snip out most of the leafs pretty easy... that will be my preferred method moving forward.
