Just a quick peek into tent on Day 39. Left to right it’s Sour Stomper, Anvil and CDLC. Those little solo grows keep chugging along, albeit with issues.

All in all things are going pretty well. None of the girls are perfect, showing some leaf issues here and there, but they’re in way better shape than my last grow at this stage. Anvil was being a bit pouty the last couple of days but seems to be standing up better. I used some bendies to even out her canopy a bit today.

Feeding day tomorrow. I’m still trying to figure out how to feed cannabis in soil well. I think it’s hard to get it right. I know it’ll come to me over time.

One significant change in my grow space is a big dehumidifier I found second-hand. Supposedly pulls 70 pints out of the air per day. Summers around here are really humid and my tent was running at 70%+ RH. I’ve got it down to the low 50s now, and I think if I build a sort of lung room around the part of my basement where I grow, using plastic sheeting, I can get it down closer to 40%, which is my goal for the remainder of this grow.

I’m to the point in the grow where I’m already thinking about my next grow. I’ll definitely be dropping a Gnome (Mandalorian) Black Strap Breeder’s Selection auto-fem with @mwilliams2006 and some other pals from TAC, as well as a Mephisto Pink Panama. The third may be a Fastbuds Purple Lemonade, unless something else comes up between now and then.

Onward and upward!

Tent's looking great man! You know I love the solo cups. As for watering in soil, I think at this stage, with my solo cup Sweet n Smelly, I watered through to runoff twice daily with my 525 ppm/6.4 ph megacrop. It's easier when you have a reservoir with premade solution in it, like I do with my autopots. Definitely less frequent watering/feeding for larger pots, but the little guy blew up with that schedule. You might even benefit from a little defoliation for airflow and light penetration at this point. That'll help with RH management, as well. Keep it up!

Thanks! I really should have defoliated a bit more in veg. I’ve taken some leaves off since they started flowering, but I’m worried about taking too many. I’m still opening them up where I can, and I’m tucking leaves a lot.

I guess I could mix up some Megacrop in a gallon of water and just have it at the ready for the solo girls. Here’s a newb question: After mixing Megacrop into water, do I I need to use it within a certain number of days?

Found this little fucker in my tent today. Only seemed to be the one. This pic also shows what I think is a calcium deficiency in one of my solo cup girls. I’m doing what I can in those little girls, but mostly I’m focusing on trying to keep my big girls healthy.

With my last pepper jar grow i mixed up 850ppm in 3 gallons of megacrop and put them in old milk jugs when i needed to top off the jar it was easy. i used it them for 4-6 weeks with no issues so i think they can sit for a minute and be fine. with my new autopot i am going to use megacrop and bud explosion and i'm sure that stuff can sit in the res for awhile, maybe ph will change but it should be fine.

I never even ph'ed my rain water after mixing megacrop for my hydro pepper jar grow, with cannabis you bet your ass i'll ph it lol i was just lazy with my pepper jar and the megacrop seemed to lower the ph to where it needed to be anyways.

Nope, just shake it up before application. I have a jar of like 3/4 cup mega crop in a quart of water I use as concentrated starter. I just add that slurry to my res when it’s time to make a new batch and titrate up to PPM.

Man ... it's easy to get excited about this Sour Stomper plant I'm growing. The buds are just so gorgeous to me, and sticky, covered in trichomes. And the smell is wonderful. And they still have another month of stacking. Fingers crossed I can keep her reasonably healthy.

The CDLC looks good too but has very little smell now. My Anvil stretched a lot more than the Mephisto girls, and her buds are behind in development, but you can see the blackness coming out from the centers. I think that plant is going to look crazy when these buds get a bit more mass.

How would you describe the scent of the CDLC you've grown, Tom?

earthy / spicey with a "strawberry cough" smell and flavor. Shes gonna stink in late flower and touching the bud and smelling your fingers is really nice! The high is great... very good relaxation. Ive got some from 2/26/21 still in the jars... It gets better with age if you use boveda and dont fuss with it a lot... Tried some blue chem a while back and that is the new one im looking for... blueberry x chemdawg... very nice...although i dont think it comes in an automatic form unless someone knows whos got it?? Any chemdawg crosses are usually really good
