Well, I’ll be damned. Foiled again by the hands of fate, conspired to cut short the thread of the weekend. O, cruel Time.
Seriously, though- We’re thinking about switching things up next run and having garden maintenance heavy-lifting happen on Sunday. It might make things less cramped in here. Is it cramped in here? No? Just me? Damn.
It was a hell of a work week for me, so not much else of… anything got done for my end of things, it feels like. And the best part is- IT AIN’T OVER YET. 
Weednesday, y’all! Let me just stuff these sorries in a sack real quick.
So this week, and today especially, I’m damn grateful for my little garden and all its goodness, and the fact I get to tend it with my girl. PMA
Now, where were we- sh!t- we were harvesting!
As mentioned in the little place-holder post, we took 805 wet grams of bud off of Rainbow Kush #KJ at day 100. It was a quick and dirty trim again, but also a very easily structured plant for trimming over-all. Buds are fluffy, but in a full way, not loose or stringy. Sponge-y, like natural loofah. Or dense cake.
We patiently awaited that smoke, and had a nice second sample after the dry cycle. With the end of the cure cycle on Tuesday night, we were able to take the rest of RK#KJ, adding another 102 wet grams to her total, and fresh-freezing 223 grams of lowers and trim for processing. Seeing no reason to run the Cannatrol with so little, we took a few more of the branches from RK#SL that were crowding WWxBB#JL and bucked them down as well, rounding the Cannatrol run out with 177 wet grams yielded from our KUSHOFF CONTENDER.
… to the boards!
GROW FIVE RUNNING TOTALS
Rainbow Kush #KJ at 907 wet grams yield plus 223 grams fresh-frozen (Total Estimated Yield: 220 grams plus 223 grams fresh-frozen)
KUSHOFFCONTENDER Rainbow Kush #SL at 177 wet grams plus 32 grams, dried and frozen early budlets (Current Estimated Yield: 35 grams plus 32 grams dried/frozen budlets)

As for the initial Smoke Report on the Rainbow Kush, it is very well liked in our home so far. The taste is phenomenal, with a heavy vanilla-wafer and berry-cream quality on the in and out respectfully for me. @JustTieflingThings reports it as very smooth, with much less coughing. The high is definitely a two-part affair, as it is a great social smoke while it is being passed, but allows for a steady decline into a more pronounced body high and general easing of tension. Seems like it’ll be a damn useful smoke to have around for the end of the week/end. More to come on this front as we get acquainted with it and finalize the grow.
Had a couple of top-colas (RK#KJ) come in at dried weights around a half ounce, so that was neat. 
Here’s a less crowded shot of the front of the tent as it stands, now 
Some of the WWxBB, which is just powering right along:
And, of course, our problem child, RK #SL Kushoff Contender, though she may be.
I feel like there’s something I’m forgetting…
There almost always is.
Oh well.
BAREBONES STATS (Week 13)
100/93 Days from Seed 91/86 Days in RDWC Plant Sites ~53 Days from Start of Flowering
RK #KJ has finished more or less, and harvest has begun with 805g of wet weight pulled. RK #SL shows some sign of bulking her budlets, and maturation. Both WWxBB given a lighter week for any stresses again. Both maturing well.
Lights were dimmed after feed this week, as well, dropping from a range of red-lining out at 74 DLI and 1144 ppfd through out the WWxBB canopies, to a range of 35-55 DLI and 450-875 ppfd.
LIGHT Feed Schedule per General Hydroponics this week. Solution level dropped from 31cm-21.25 cm in the past week. We saw a steady drift downward in pH, but slow enough that we did not need to buffer. Res temp averaged ~72.5 * F Results at pH 6.5 73.5 * F and ~747ppm or ~1.5 EC.
Averages of 77.25 * F, 67.25% RH, and 0.73 kPa VPD Leaf surface temperatures taken at -2 to -3 * F on average. Averages this week lacking canopy reading data set.

BAREBONES STATS (Week 14)
- 107/100 Days from Seed 98/93 Days in RDWC Plant Sites ~60 Days from Start of Flowering
- RK #KJ is harvested. 102g of additional wet weight plus 223g lowers, fresh frozen brings her total to 1.13kg of wet yield. RK #SL had several branches harvested. 177 grams of budlets into the Cannatrol, with marginal amount we forgot to weigh in fresh frozen larf. Both WWxBB still coasting through flower.
- Lights have not been changed this week.
- LIGHT Feed Schedule per General Hydroponics , "Ripening"this week. Greatly reduced EC. Solution level dropped only 31cm-27cm in the past week, though with much less drift of EC. We saw a steady, and steep drift of pH downward, but none so fast or alarming as to use any buffer before we had to feed again, ending the week above *5.7 Res temp averaged a degree or so higher through the week for using the A/C less. Results this feed at pH 6.5 72.1 * F and ~649ppm or ~1.31 EC.
- Averages of 75.2 * F, 64.3% RH, and 0.796 kPa VPD Leaf surface temperatures taken at -2 to -3 * F on average. Been a fight with the early fall humidity this week.

Well, that does it for this week, and catching up on last week, and that start of harvest for grow 5 at that, and OG and garden time to restore my sanity…and…and! Hell of a time.
Gotta run for now and get myself ready for battle. Then back home, maybe a few hours of sleep, and off to it the week. I hope y’all have a steadier sea surrounding ya, and all the more, thanks for swinging through and checking on us. Appreciate each of ya
Stay up

Your posts are aspirational for when I do my next grow (or I might start drawing inspiration sooner).
I forgot to mention the power outage. So there was that, too. Our first mid-grow power outage. While I was at work, none-the-less.
