Indoor Mars Hydro grow journal: WildBill does Hubbabubbasmelloscope in EarthBoxes under MarsHydro SP3000

Scoped the girls and both are ready for chop. Depends on what other work gets done today, I should get both done tomorrow.

Rough, rough, rough......................No! That's snot a dog barking!

Sweet little Amber is in da house

Seems like the big girl is back to drinking water, at least at a faster rate. She should be close to or dry tomorrow.

As frustrating as these girls have been, the smell is amazing and that's what helps in keeping Good Positive Mental Attitude. If I had to chop today for some reason, I'd be happy. While there's a nice amount of good bud, there is an absolute TON available for hash. It also makes me excited to make a run with HBSS without major issues!
Canna, an amazing and extremely varied plant in structure and effect. I'm pretty impressed with the effect Stomper has on me. The only downside, other than not having a couple pounds of her, is it's not a very good pain reliever. Well, not as a casual and conscious pain reliever. If I smoke her, I HAVE to be active. It does seem to aid in sleep, sometime when you don't want sleep.
It does tend to induce some pretty strong visualizations. Kinda reminiscent of when a youngster I'd get high, lay back and let the music take me places.

some of my least pretty plants have turned out to be the best smoke so never judge a book by its cover and i either burn or yellow up a plant every run but as long as they're still stacking weight on i don't mind so don't be too harsh on yourself bro

Yeah, I know. I've just gotta get over my swolehead attitude about fixing anything. LOL!
Thanks for the rep!

What are you using to look at trichomes?

A digital microscope that you connect to your phone. thru wifi. Got it on Amazon........as usual.

Finally, got around to chopping. I took the little girl first. While trichome production was pretty good, the buds just didn't form well with an insane amount of sugar leaf to bud ratio. So she got trimmed up and I packed a gallon bag to put in the freezer for dry ice hash. I have a little more to trim up on her and I'll just let that dry and use in the FX when it comes in next week sometime.
Ithink I'll get some good bud from the bid girl. If I don't, I'll just do the same. I'll take a lot of hash! That'll give me a chance to decarb the hash and see how well that works for making chocolates. with Coca butter to infuse.

Evidently the lockout issue harmed/impeded bud production in the little girl, with her being hit harder. The big girl is a bit better in bud production, but I don't know how much better and if they are worth collecting as buds.
In hindsight, anyone have any ideas what I could have added organically that would have helped with forming better buds?

I'll update once the big girl is done sometime today.

Besides a faulty PH meter I also made a bit of an over nuting mistake as well and I think it caused one of my Bloody Skunk to finish up without really fattening up but I still got 75gram of very good weed and a few little bits to make a lump of hash, it also gave me a reason to pull a plant and make some space in the tent.

If you can get dry ice, bubble bowls are a really great option to get everything from your girls.

I'm lucky enough to be able to get dry ice just up the road from me, can't get the bubble bowls anywhere though.
