Indoor MarsHydro FC-E 4800 grows Jean-O, Where's My Dog

[DDubs]

Where's My Dog - Day 67
Such an easy and lovely grow. Buds are flowering like crazy with little signs of slowing down. She's going to be a beast and I will guess her to push the 1lb mark.

2 gal @ pH to 6.1/6.3, EC 1.6 with plain water every other watering.
(1 X 3-4 days)

What's My Name - Day 67
Looks like flowering might be slowing down and she is drinking a little slower. Cola bud is super dense and a leaf rub gives off a nice sweet smell. A look at the trichs say she has another few weeks to go still.

150ml @ pH 5.8 EC 1.6
Maxigro/Crystal Burst
(1 X every day)

Great job! Those are some beautiful frosty flowers there. WMN looks like it is going to throw down for the solo cups...

Thank you but it really is the genetics. I just add water and some ammendments here and there to try and push them. Not sure if they help but I don't think it hurts

It truly puts a big smile on my face every time I open the tent and get smashed in the face with a delicious sweet smell. In one form or another, a Jean-O plant will be a staple in my tent from now on.

Where's My Dog - Day 74
Depending on your preference, this girl could be ready for some. I prefer a bit of amber so I will let her go another couple weeks. Still pushing flowers to the point where it's boarding foxtailing but I'm not overly concerned. Tops are getting about 1000ppfd so that's not super over the top and stressful so I don't know what's going on. My sights are set on harvest at this point.

Flowering has slowed down but the frost continues to build. I'll let her go another week before I start the harvest process.

Where's My Dog - Day 81
Buds are filling in real nicely with frost packing on. I'm still let this one go a bit more. Just looking for a few more amber trichoms. I will likely harvest next weekend.

She's still going and frosting up like crazy. It's just a matter of time and preference at this point.

I had a little spot of mold show up in the middle of a branch. I snipped the buds and gave her a spin to poke around and see if there was anymore. None, thankfully. I'm guessing she was either smashed up against the side of the tent or leaning against the tomatoes. I will continue to keep and eye on her as I'd like her to go another week.

Where's My Dog - Day 90
Into the darkness yesterday to start the harvest process. They will sit there for a few days before I wet trim and brown bag. The frost is so thick that the buds look wet.

Found a bit of mold on one of the cola nuggs. It's just way to humid in the tent and it's rainy around here so that doesn't help matters. I threw another fan in the tent and cranked the poor underpowered dehumidifier up. I didn't see any on the other buds but I can't wait like I wanted to. I'll have to trim and bag tonight and separate all of the branches into separate bags so I don't loose the entire harvest.

I haven't seen much change in her structure and the frost is clouding up with a couple ambers. In to the dark tent with her sister. Wet trim and brown bag in a couple days.

I caught Covid and didn't pay enough attention to the hygrometer. I may have let the buds dry out a bit too much. Hopefully the Grove bags can breath some life back in. All in all 183g went into the Grove bags and I lost another 10g or so of cola bud to mold. The buds are a bit fluffy but I think they will tighten up some as they cure up. I haven't had a chance to have a proper smoke yet but the samples I have had have been smooth and tasty.

In the end, I have had 5 plants under my new Mars Hydro FC-E 4800 and they all turned out great. I'm glad I was able to wedge this beast inside my limited space. With the dimmer switch I'm able to just set it and forget it and the great coverage lets me pack in every corner. Despite it being a tight space, being able to put the driver outside the tent helps big time with heat and headspace. I look forward to making good use of this bad boy. Thank you @Marshydro for supporting the AFN community and putting on the contest that won me this great light setup.

I hope you will feel better soon. And enjoy the rewards that our lights bring.

I hope you get better soon bud! Nice work on the grow and harvest. I have had good luck using the Bovida packs for adding and maintaining the proper moisture level in my flowers. I have bud from 4 years ago that I jarred up with the Bovida packs that is still as nice and fluffy and breaks up as good as the day it was jarred. The packs last for about a year then need to be replaced but I think I get them at my local hydro store for like fifty cents appease.
