Amazing what 3 weeks can do because this veg tent is over flowing. I’ve got at least 2 weeks before the flower tent is empty so I’m gonna clean up some tops and throw them in the cloner and try to thin out the bigger ladies shading the smaller girls in the front. I’m trying not to be discriminate against the cbd because both Panama plants are doing a good job blocking the light to the rest so keep telling myself relax it’s just cbd everyone I tear off a branch that’s in the way

Here are some pics of the snow lotus and lemon cream pie I had some issues with both of them and I’m hoping that installing an auto watering system is going to help since my theory is that the plants got stressed due to excessive dry back only watering the coco once a day, it was drier than the Sahara each time I watered at 8pm so I think once a day in 2 gal just isn’t enough especially with a bigger plant like the snow lotus.

No more caveman style, the auto watering is all setup and I’m scratching my head why it took me this long maybe laziness or my lack of mechanical ability prevented me from embracing the ways of auto watering but I’m glad I did it because I’m not getting any younger and hand watering sucks

Lemon cream chopped at day 65. Snow lotus taking her time but she better hurry up I can’t keep topping these poor girls in the veg tent they’re ready to flower it’s been 2 months. Gonna give the lotus until day 77 at the most

Amazing looking plants. Congrats on the auto watering system. Is it diy or purchased system if so which system?

I wasn’t sure what parts to get so I got a kit that came with a cheap pump bucket and some tubing and got some better emitters on Amazon but this was just to get an idea of what I needed to build a bigger one. This kit came with 1/4 inch tubing and none of the nice halo style emitters use the 1/4 they use the 1/2 inch tubing so I’m gonna get a 30 gal tank, a bigger pump, some 1/2 inch tubing and some halo emitters probably in the next couple months but this will be ok for now just sucks that the bucket is only 5 gal so I still have to do some work and mix nutrients every day I just no longer need to crawl on my hands and knees to water all of them so I guess that’s a win

I promised myself that I wasn’t going to get anything new yesterday for the 420 sales and it helped that the bodhi drop wasn’t released. I stayed strong all day and then had a moment of weakness around 6pm and saw that dc seed exchange had some packs priced very low so I couldn’t resist grabbing two strayfox packs. I got the purple Nepali and the peachez and chem fem packs, it’s getting a little pricey running reg packs and sending in leaf samples and I neglected to get more farmer freeman samples so I’m gonna grow out some fem seeds the next couple runs

Harvested the snow lotus a little early at day 69, this Panama in the veg tent scares me I was afraid if I didn’t get her in this flower tent soon than I was gonna have a hell of a time containing her. I’m doing a drying experiment with the snow lotus. I’ve been using this herbnow dryer the past couple harvests and I’ve been impressed with the results but I’m curious how it would compare against the same plant dries traditionally in 65/60 for 10-14 days. I got a ridiculous amount of flower from that plant I stuffed that dryer fill with buds and still had a lot left on the plant to hang dry I’m gonna estimate at least 12 oz from this plant which isn’t too bad considering it had to share the tent with the lemon cream pie. The next batch was put in the flower tent last night and super cropped a little bit to even out the canopy. Changing things up a bit on this next one and setting my watering timer to twice a day once at 815pm after lights come on and once at 6am a few hours before lights off
Last pic is the morning after the super cropping they really bounced back nicely in only 12 hours

Sitting in the jail today trimming
Got 5oz from the stuff I had in the dryer and got about 10 days left on the rest that’s hanging in basement. Interested to see the taste compares with the stuff dried in the dryer and the stuff that was hung. These snow lotus buds are a real pain in the ass to trim it hasn’t been a fun trimming experience.

Beautiful buds and plants. That first pic is a nice scrog. Do you keave the net up even if you dont scrog? or are those other plants just waiting to stretch so they can be scroged?

Thanks, they turned out better than I thought they would. For the scrog I normally just tuck the branches under and as they stretch I keep tucking to fill out the net but this was a late veg these should’ve gone into the flower tent 3-4 weeks ago so I’m just using the net for support

The ladies are stretching their legs in the 4x4. Here is a comparison from day 5 and day 11 I had to raise the light sooner than I would’ve liked but I’ll be ok I have a high roof

Cleaned them up a bit a few days earlier than my normal day 14 trim but they needed it. Didn’t get them all so during the week I’ll remove some of the skinny branches on the two in the back but overall the undercarriage is pretty much is good as I’m gonna get it I’m not young anymore and I can’t crawl under the plants or I’m gonna hurt myself so I just reach in there as far as I can and remove as much bullshit as I can so it’s not perfect

I wasn’t happy with the defoliation my ocd was kicking in so here’s round two of defoliation. Just cleaned up the plants a little bit better nothing too crazy

Outta likes! Plants are looking great, gonna stack up nicely. So you use the next to keep your branches spread open not a scrog? If so I like that idea better that stakes. Can you remove the nets if needed or do they grow into them pretty well?

Once they grow past the nets there’s no going back hahaha
