Indoor Dinafem cookies auto X 3

[virginia gent]

This is day 22 for all three. These are the last of my Dinafem seeds so here goes. I am using three gallon air pots with 3 parts happy frog and 1 part ocean forest and about 1/2-1/3 cup perlite and 1/2 cup lime. Fox Farm nutes and bushdoctor supplements and cal/mag and superthrive. The light is a Mars TSL 2000, two 6 inch clip-on circulating fans and a 6 inch carbon filter combo from A/C infinity (comes with a speed control). Tent is a 7 ft X 2ft X4ft lighthouse. All three show female and appear very happy.

The plants are doing well and the bud sites are looking good. The far left plant has some damage to two leaves, looks like something hot got to them. Must be me stoned again I guess, anyway the tall girl is almost 17 inches with the other two about 13 inches. I was hoping for plants around 24-30 inches, looks like only the center plant will get there.

All three plants have almost stopped vertical growth and are making some nice buds. Left to right they are 26,31,24 inches and I don't think they will get much more than an inch or two more. The injury to the one plant most likely came from the air hose to the water behind the plants. I move my water inside the tent to keep it warm, the room can get into the mid 60's in the winter. I will really miss Dinafem seeds if they don't come back. Has anyone heard about their plans for the future?

The plants are getting some visible resin and are 28", 33" and 27" with good bud development. The shortest plant (right) just might be as productive as the tall girl, lots of bud sites.

These ladies are finishing nicely but I have one plant developing some color, left, and the middle plant looks more like moby dick auto. Who cares, right. The trics are mostly milky with very little clear so I guess another 10-14 days, I was about a week late in hitting them with sledgehammer and had a little lock out but things are better now. The plant with the color has the thickest buds and strongest smell.

Dinafem said 75 days but these plants are yellowing fast and I may take them on Thursday, day 70. The shortest plant, 66g,h,i, look really good.

Harvest was harder than I expected, my back would only let me put in a few hours a day so it took almost forever to get done. I am well pleased with this, but I should have removed more air buds for bigger top buds. I will be making a tinc with the air buds (bottom of tent) so more is better than less, I guess. Top row is the top buds. I will report yield when I jar for cure.

Yield was good for me, about 210 grams of bag ready buds and almost 2oz of air buds. The five jars on the left are the best top buds (30gr/jar) and the two next to them are good buds and the large jar on the right is just over 25 gr (I decarbed 15 gr more for a test tinc) of air buds. The two large jars behind the others is sweet leaf and trimmings. I am looking at a motorized sifting tray for kief from the sweet leaf and if the test tinc works I will use all the air buds for that.
