James' lil Octo-Burner. One 2x2 Tent. One Octopot. One BIG-ASS light to rule it all!

I would love it if we had a window by the door. No luck, but I love it when we visit people and they have the window… Its always good fun for the dogs, and seeing them pressed up against it is just too cute - even at 6’ tall :100:

More photos to come. Trying to get things cleaned up as it’s almost 4:30 in the afternoon… need to load up Cannatrol and try and get out of here by 5:30 or 6:00 p.m. for ZZ Top concert…
Wet weigh-in looks very promising…
I think this will be my single best plant grow yet… at least if judging by weight.
She’s super sticky and smells amazing.

Even if I only pull 25% of wet weight after removing a couple of stems, difficult to see how I won’t be at least at 1 lb after dry.

Feeling pretty elated right now :100:

More tomorrow…

Broke my own rule, and Uploading from concert. It’s only the opening act…
ZZ Top coming up!

Set up for 10-day dry, then into Grove bags. We’ll see if it goes that far :beers:

Just waiting on Billy and the gang…

It’s on…

Special shout-out to Vern and his wife, Nevon :100:
Couldnt have done it without them. We all saw ZZ Top together Saturday night :beers:

Wasnt as aggressive a trim as I have done in the past. Only so far as, I left some bigger nugs to save time and make the concert. Had to make concessions, and not bucking all buds was a time-cutting measure :thinking:

Stan and Gie all smiles… Good harvest tends to do that💯




Here’s Cannatrol settings I’m using for this run…
10 day Dry set to Slope

Dry: 68 dry bulb 57.5 dew point

Cure: 68 dry bulb 54.7 dew point
Take out after 10 days and toss in Grove Bags. Gonna give it a whirl :100:

So, havent put the sponge back in the Cannatrol yet, way too wet since harvest. May put back in tonight… We’ll see. Hit two full days around 4 or 5pm.

Big shout-out to my buddy Vern.
Dont worry guys, he looks a bit crazy… But thats just the tip of the iceburg! :100:


Seriously couldnt have completed harvest in time without him and Nevon. They went to ZZ Top with us afterwards, as well :beers:

Go Deep, Stan! :rofl: :rofl:

The new settings Im running keep things fairly moist, yet still plenty of drain water in tray Sunday. I’ll check tonight and see how the tray looks :100:

Two full days in the Cannatrol. Looking and feeling good :100:

Got home a bit late today. Water tray completely full.
Still no sponge in there.
See about tomorrow
Visual check under magnification shows no signs of mold :beers:

Cannatrol reaches Dry Cycle setting fairly quickly, then chases the Cure Cycle setting (While still in Dry)

On Sunday, I ended up emptying the drip tray and it was 3/4 full. Yesterday evening I emptied out tray, and was to rim.

Its definitely removing water, no doubt.

Getting some flat spots, but I could care less. This stuff is for myself, friends and family. Flat spots only due to weight of bigger buds. The “Mere Mortal” buds come out just fine with no flat spots.

Did a decent mold check last night, and all looks good on the Powie Pineapple big buds.

I’ll check everything again tonight after work. If all looks good, the sponge going in the Troll.

As Im writing this, Cannatrol :arrow_down: is roughly 2.5 Days into 10 Day Dry Cycle and chasing cure setting.

My Cannatrol readings are currently 68.2° Bulb Temp and 57° Dew Point.
Thats .5° Lower than 57.5° Dew Point setting, so its definitely reaching for the Cure setting of 54.7° Dew Point…

Ive watched as it started in the 70s RH, and slowly working down.

I fully expect it will be a lower value this evening. Lets see :vulcan_salute:

EDIT - and here we are with lower :arrow_up: number :arrow_up: from last night.
This morning, its creeping even lower. I’ll get another pic tonight :100:

Being realistic about the harvest weight and what to expect…
If Dry Weight is around 20% of wet weight, I should be somewhere around 14 oz.
If Dry Weight is at or above 25% of wet weight, then I should hit around 17oz, and become an official member of the 1-Pound Plant club :beers: :beers: :beers:

I was fully expecting around 13-14oz pre-harvest. Those are some hefty lil fuckers for sure.

A 16oz+ final weight from a single plant in a 2x2 would be awesome :100:
