Growing with Mr.Sparkle : 2024

Day 44

So the one cab i got all chopped and trimmed and drying this weekend, off the three plants i should get about 150g or so, but it will be pressed for rosin.

As for the remaining plants the old branches on the old plants are still going seed wise, and the remaining three plants i spread out into their own individual cabs just till they are done.

Day 52

Been a week since an update, regardless, chopped down the stout purple/black plant today and took down the seeded left over branches, the molded top bud i pulled previously of the forum stomper had just under 100 what id would say viable seeds, as i filtered and tossed the small and immature seeds.

As for the remaining two, i moved the one in the top cab down to the empty cab below from the chopping, these two are both starting to push to finish out but still a bit for them, though they have to come down in about 10days regardless.

And those 3 plants i chopped in the previous update yielded 160g as that specific tray is 154g and marked as such a long time ago for my ease. I’ll start pressing this stuff into rosin over the next week, or stuff it into grove bags but they may sit for a good while before i get to them.

How much vertical height do you have to work with in your cabinets?

No where near enough, 29" from floor to roof, but reservoirs and pots take up 8" of that and needing some space from the lights as well, so only about 20" of “growing” space when it comes to the plants really though probably only about 12-14" for buds when you consider some spacing from the lights and useless stalk height at the base of the plants.

Would make me feel like id be doubling my height if i only bumped up to 40" tall cabinets lol

Thanks for the input, I have a cab design I’ve been thinking about for some time. I’m shooting for 7’ height, split upper and lower so probably 34" and 46" roughly.

I’m really impressed with how well you run your setup. :+1:

34/46" should be plenty for say a veg/flower split, biggest thing for just limiting plant height is restricting root volume with pot sizes imo and having it so the plants don’t fight for horizontal space much, but what size pots all depends on growing medium and is a bit of trial and error for everyone’s grow style.

And thanks for the compliments everyone.

Day 60

With only a week left before i take off for a bit it was time for them to come down and start drying, ended up with 906g wet off the two so should be around 200g dried.

Also broke up those seeded branches and cleaned them up, should be in the 1200 range seeds wise between the 3 as i counted one out at a bit over 300.

What do you think about the fastbuds strawberry banana buddy?? Did they yield much??
I quickly scanned what I’d missed on your thread but didn’t notice any comments on them. :v:
Edit. Ignore that. Found a comment.

I’m guessing while pressing bud light coloured is good??
I don’t smoke Joints or blunts. Every so often I vape some flower. My main way of getting high is my bong/water pipe. It’s quick and easy until it needs cleaned :rofl:

Very nice finish.

Hopefully you’re taking a breather for fun reasons.

the earlier finisher coverage at the end was decent and smell was also decent just not distinctive in a standout way, but was pleasant to me, the longer running ones i just didn’t have the space for as they werent playing nice and coverage was non existent on them pretty much.

And pressing wise it all depends like purple bud presses darker regardless and some plants do as well, but typically just the lighter presses just tend to not have as much other stuff push through along with your rosin kidna making a “cleaner” end product, now cant say ive sampled it enough to give an opinion though as i think ive toked it once maybe twice as a done wrong cartridge lol, need to try a straight rosin hit to actually judge and taste. Did get some seeds though.

Taking my paternity leave at the tail end of it so yeah definitely fun reasons, off work for 5 months
