Day 67 - Harvest

I inspected the trichomes and saw everything was quite cloudy with no amber. Perfect for me.

The next run is going to be interesting as I have discovered that an infested plants have a unique look. Inside the stems of my sickest plants there was a hole with a darkened yellow look. Fungus gnats suck but I'm still pleased with the end result.

These plants are very sticky and oily with some distinct fruitiness/biscotti/earth aroma. Not as large as they can be but a lot happened. The quality pre cure is better than usual and I have some cobbing to do.

I will say that I am quite pleased with the entire process of doing a SOG. I'm going to make some changes to my grow areas so I can test some things.

Going to do a veg tent and flower tent.

Veg -
5x5 tent
2x 4x1 flood trays on PVC
2x Cree Fidelity 185w fixtures 4000k
1x Cree Fidelity 100w fixture for the clones
4x Dewey Mister buckets
UVA for all three areas
30g reservoir


Going back to aerocloning with Pure Blend Pro and Liquid Karma. I decided against Tribus as my Beneficials support veg and bloom with N and P fixing microbes. I'll have two PVC riser stands for the flood tables and a better area to work in.

For flower -

4x4 tent
3x3 flood tray on PVC
30g reservoir
Cree Fidelity 480w fixture 2700k
UVA+FR initiation

Nothing special but my veg needs a massive revamp.

Thanks for following!

I had a project in mind this is different never tested out. But what if you LST a plant main stem on the soil surface then cut sidebranches halfway so that they are still on the mainstem but half of it is cut. then put some root stim. and bury the sidebraches in the soil, so could the sidebranches start actually make roots and be half attached to the main stem??

Do you want to test this out?

Very nice looking btw! ;)

Sounds kind of like air layering and would probably work out but idk of any particular benefit.

Can't test out much of anything for awhile, sorry.

Thank you.

The benefit would be that the new sidebranch starts making new roots but still attached to the mainstem and it would get nutes from both ways. and would spread nutes evenly and better. just thinking idk. Was wondering if this could be done to an auto and get bigger yields.

I can't say that would provide any tangible benefit. If you aren't reaching 75g/sqft there's more yield to be gained through various other methods.

It takes 1-3 weeks to root a cutting, in that time many autos would be transitioning to stretch or flower. At this point, if I want more yield I grow more plants.

I was thinking also that when u cut the sidebranch halfway, it wouldnt stress that much and could continue growing and getting nutes from the maim stem while same time developing nee roots for the sidebranch. I thought about this because on my auto ultimate grow 3 years ago the lowest sidebranch cropped itself halway, slowly I think and developed some roots there, it looked very weird. And at the end of the grow that sidebranch looked like a new mini auto lol. It was 3x the size of other sidebranches.

I don't really know. I don't like training plants and I grow autos 20% of the time lol

Try it out though. Might pioneer a new technique

These guys around here veg their clones for a few weeks before flipping. Also, the cuttings have minimal leaves on them. The larger leaves they cut half or so off each leaf. Get that energy to the roots. Thanks for tagging me as I don't go looking for blogs :smoking:
