Today I opened up MH2 to check the French macaroons mom and I found 3 white caterpillar looking grubby things on top of the soil moving around. I checked my soil bin that’s got 1.5gal of soil left in it (24gal tote) and i didn’t see anymore. My guess is they came from the compost I put in there. I should have taken a picture of them but I just scooped them up and threw them out the front door. I also realized I didn’t have the timer on this whole time so the girls haven’t slept since transplant. This makes sense since they all kinda look shabby but they are in new soil. So last night they got a good 6 hours of sleep and I hope that’s all that’s needed to be done to correct the shabbiness of these girls.

First picture is of MH1 the 9 French Mac. They are coming down Sunday night. They are starting to lean under all the weight so I’m hoping for a great harvest!
Second picture is of the veg then. Lastnight I took clones from the purple punch and the French macaroons in MH2. I then lolli popped the purple punch. I moved the blueberry headband seedling into her solo cup and I’ve still got the other 4 beans in the little dome. Every one got fed today too.
Last picture is of MH2. All the udog got a shape up and lolli pop. I removed the big fan leaves and any suckers from the purple punch as well. As for the French macaroons mom. Her clones all came from the top of her since she was so tall and then I trimmed her up and took out some suckers and big fan leaves.
I’m excited to get MH1 down and put the girls from the veg tent into thier 5 gallon pots. I’m also looking forward to the udog in MH2 they should have bigger buds than last time since they are well taken care of and I pruned them up well this time too!
That’s what I’ve got for you today. Take it easy.

Ac infinity got me again! I had to order that humidifier. That thing is sick! I just got the T3 which is a 5 liter tank (I think. I’m pretty stoned) but man are they killing the game right now. Everything I’ve gotten from them has been great. I bought the 4inch inline fan from them back when all they sold were fans. Now with thier whole line up of gear I’m pretty impressed. I’ll post more about it when it arrives.

While I’m at it I’ll do a smoke report on the alien Bubba and bubblegum. First I’ll talk about the Bubble gum. It’s frosty and sticky for sure. When you Crack the jar the smell is about a 3 out of 5. As for the smell its kinda like a sweet, floral, pinesol smell. It does the trick though. one joint will space you out for sure but it won’t knock you on your ass. I’d give the high a 6.75 out of 10. Over all I’m not impressed. Especially with the yeild. I’ve got more seeds of it I may pop down the line but I’m not keeping this one around. I’ll be running out the plants I’ve got in veg and that will be that.
Alien Bubba! Man do I love this shit. It smells like chocolate, coffee, and kush. The high is like an 8 to 8.5 out of 10. It’s sticky and the buds were a good size. It just sucks its such a runty plant. I only got 14.46 grams from one plant but the nugs I got from it are fantastic! I’m still holding out hope for those last 3 seeds to pop but if they don’t I still have clones running. It would be a bummer to lose this because it’s such a runt but I still holding out hope one those beans

I’m giving the 9 FM a few more days. I just watered again and I’d like a little more cloudy and amber trichs. That will also give the girls in MH2 a little more time to recover from the defoliation before I move them over to MH1 after that tent is chopped. I’ll dry the FM in MH2 and give flip the girls the day that they move. That will give me 2 weeks of drying and after that I’ll transplant the round of bubble gum purple punch and alien Bubba and move them to MH2 to continue veg. When MH1 is about 3/4 the way done ill move those back into MH2 to finish and all the other plants will be flipped when they go into MH1. Sorry if that’s confusing. I really need to upgrade my ts1000 it’s way too small for that tent. So this I feel is the best use of light that I’ve got.
I’m about to give up on the 4 seeds in the little dome. I want to plant some of the cheese and tangerine dream seeds next I think. Maybe I’ll soak them and do the towel thing. I just like to direct sow because it’s closer to nature but these beans are expensive so… yeah. I need to work on keeping .y biology (watering) healthy and thriving. I need more recharge or maybe I’ll try another product but I need an inoculant fosho. I’m excited for the FM PP run as well that will be a dank one for sure. It’s nice knowing I’ll have a stash of stuff I know I like to go along with the hunts of all the average or sub par phenos I run across. Sometimes powering through a jar is more disappointing than it’s worth. Once Christmas time comes I’ll use what ever little money to get another fc3000 then I’ll start the worm bin and really kick this thing into gear.

I chopped MH1 lastnight. Everything was leaning and I fucked up the watering the last few weeks. I was just done with that round. I checked the plastic bucket I had the put the 12 or so worms in and I didn’t find one. I’ve got a 3 month old baby so my time hasn’t been focused on this round as much as it should be. The bud still looks and smells good and is on track to be one of my better rounds even with the under watering. It really only seemed to effect the fan leaves they got all crinkley… the buds still frosty and Terpy.

I get that. They will still keep going and finish out but the buds will not be, quite, what they could have been without those fan leaves transpiring moisture and bringing up the nutrients. They will still be great though any the difference, probably, wouldn’t even be noticeable.
That’s just my opinion though. I’ve done the same thing with my plants just recently. It was a heater malfunction that ran the heat up in, probably, the 150 degree mark. It decimated a bunch of my fan leaves but the plants have chugged along, finishing up.

They kept maturing on track and still put on weight. I could tell 2 of them had pale stocks and smaller nugs though. Others got so big they were leaning over. This still might be the best run of the FM I’ve done. Some of the nugs are the biggest for sure.

The first picture is of the 9 French macaroons by thseeds. They are basically 1/2 wet trimmed. I got rid of all fan leaves and trimmed down the tops of sugar leaves that were bare.
The second picture is of the veg tent. All the girls got fed 2 days ago 2T of the dr.earth herb and tomato amendments. Even the little seedling g in the solo cup got 1/2T I like to start the decomp of the dry amendments early. Get all those microbes started right off rip. I still have the 4 seeds in the little dome. I’m about to toss them. I’ve looked at them they look fine re planted further down and given more water to them and still nothing so I think ima call this one a bust. I got 1 blueberry headband out of 2 and 0 out of 3 of my last alien Bubba popped. I’m sad but I’ll run it a time or 2 more and try to find another Bubba cross. It’s just too small of a plant to keep around. 14.45g of 1 plant that never looked hungry or upset in any way the entire grow. The girls in the 1gal pots are all getting transplanted when the 9 plants come down. I’m excited! I’ll be running 8 plants in 5gal buckets. I’m expecting this run to be the biggest by alot. Although I just ran 9. They were in 3gal pots and I fucked up the watering so it’s going to be a good harvest but I definitely could have done better.
The last picture is of Flower 2 (formerly MH2)the girls got flipped and fed lastnight. Every one looks happy and healthy! I’m excited for some more purple punch. I’m also excited to revisit the udog. I wasn’t super happy with it the first time I ran it but that was like 2 or 3 runs ago. I’m not taking any clones so what’s done is done with those girls but it’s always nice to see something again. I figure the likelihood of it turning out so much better I want to keep it around is slim to none considering I don’t even remember what it smells like. Anyway that’s what I got for you today. Take it easy

I just popped my last jar of bubble gum for the first time in a few weeks and it’s pretty much terpless. The bubblegum wasn’t particularly stanky but it’s clear I still need to work on my drying and cureing. I’ve got the new ac infinity humidifier ordered. That will help keep things in line for sure but 3 years in and I’ve still got alot to learn.

You might consider buying some Grove Bags. They have helped me considerably with my curing. They are amazing in my opinion.

I’ve seen them around. My humidity hasn’t been steady because of the rain and everything. Plus I didn’t use my humidity packs in the jar either. I really just think I need to pay closer attention to the process. If I’ve got some extra cash in the future I’d run a side by side but for now I’ll just try to keep a closer eye on the jars. I just got in trouble (not really) for buying that humidifier I can’t drop any more cash on the grow. I already have to sneak enough shit in the house hahaha

Ac infinity canceled my order for the humidifier! I’m bummed but they’ve got supply chain issues so I understand. I was really looking forward to that thing. Oh well I’ll go buy a cheap one just to keep out side the tents

You should ask for a discount or a coupon for your inconvenience. lol
They gave me one for 10%
Most excellent!
Yeah I’m pretty impressed with the company over all. They have great products and the customer service interaction I had was good too. I’m not impressed by many companies these days so that’s saying something.
