New Grower Vegasbear's Noob Growing Adventures

Day 18

Watered with feed at 5ml A&B, 5ml CalMag in 1Gal RO water every other day. Full watering only uses about 3/4-4/5 gal total. I will be over the moon if I can pull a couple grams off of each of these considering the super cheap lights.

Now I want to build a 2x4 box with bracketed trays for solo cup SoG fun. Need to scrape together money for some better lights than the $40 Ebay specials I am running for these right now. The better half glared at me and doesn't think it sounds nearly as fun as I do. Lmao!

Day 41

Plant on right grew too close to the lights and got a little nutrient burn to boot, but seems fine now.

@St. Tom should I defol these at all?

Tonight will be harvest night!

Gotta place an order with @Grove Bags tomorrow. I totally forgot! Thankfully cold dry will take about 10-14 days so no biggie.

Harvest Day 1

Finished the drying racks.

Some of you may remember that I broke one whole side off of oje of these plants (who got named Lt. Dan). I harvested Lt. Dan today and it took so long he was the only one that I have got cut down and trimmed yet!

Lt. Dan weighed in (wet) at 1572.5 grams of bud, and an additional 750 grams of trim and popcorn.

Lt. Dan filled 3 1/4 screens.

More tomorrow. I need a nap.

Harvest Day 2

The Linda Fat Blueberry Auto is down.

She gave up 600g on the dot wet weight.

Two plants down, two to go.

But first, a lunch break - Mango Chicken Coconut Curry.

Day 2 Part 2

The other two Gelato plants gave up 1170.5g combined. Lots more fluffy larf and popcorn which all went straight into the trim pile, due mostly to uneven plant heights (Since Lt. Dan became a monster) and light distance early on. Will not be a problem with the single Autocobs which can be adjusted to each plant.

So in total:

2743 grams (wet) Gelato
600 grams (wet) Fat Blueberry

Total of 2943g (wet) and about 1800g trim/popcorn from my 4x4. I am totally happy with that. Will post dry weight in two weeks.

Here's everything packed into the Curidor on drying screens, set to 40f. In 7 days I will consolidate the bud to keep the density even as I find this allows for more even drying. Will then be checked every other day until its ready to go into Grove Bags to cure.

Note: Fridge has 99.9% UV glass on it so light intrusion isn't an issue, but I can keep an eye on my buds as they dry without opening the door. Interior light was only on for the photo.

Germination started on five Homegrown Grape Ape seeds. Popped them in a shotglass with 3:1 RO Water and H202 yesterday and let them float for 36hrs. All five popped a tail and were dropped into Rapid Rooters that were soaked in 3:1 solution for 12hrs.

Into the germinator in the dark until they break out.
