Got the last three plants chopped up and in paper bags. Now it’s time to get this show going. I transplanted two ICookies clones (left) and four Cherry Tart clones (center and right) into the beds and watered them in with some coconut water. I then set my timers to 12/12, set my Bluefish to “Veg” settings (75% of max), and finally configured the Pulse grow monitor to match my light levels and target VPD.
I started sampling the JLO to determine, by bioassay, if there is THC in these buds. I decided to pull out my tiny bong and load a one hitter bowl. The first one I tried, JLO 4, definitely had THC. I will also be doing Beam’s test to see which, if any, of these plants also has CBD. My Juanita la Lagrimosa mother was a 1:1 THC to CBD ratio, I would like to stabilize this in the auto form.
It’s pretty difficult to determine my GPW because I use a dimmer. I did some math to average out the wattage of my lights, and it looks like I used just over 900 kWh for this grow. I vegged for 28 days with an average ~12 kWh / day, I flowered them for 42 days on full power with an average of ~11 kWh / day, and the last 14 days I cut the power to ~8 kWh / day. My max cost for a kWh is $0.12 during peak hours, so the lighting cost is ~$110 for this whole grow. I got the following dry weights for all nine plants for a total of ~740 grams.
- JLO 3 - 80 g
- JLO 4 - 135 g
- JLO 5 - 95 g
- JLO 8 - 115 g
- JLO 9 - 185 g
- Skywalker Kush x JLO - 10 g
- JLO 13 - 55 g
- Durban Poison x JLO - 35 g
- Zak Haze x JLO - 30 g
