My Friends! So much time has past since last update and so many things learned. Let’s jump in.
Upgrades and New Toys:
Did some upgrades to electrical infrastructure in the grow building. This
IS NOW THIS
I also ordered 2 - Inline tube fans 6inch.
It moves 364cu of air a minute and was only 99$. Normally you would have these exporting air out of the tent through a charcoal filter. Cannabis is legal in my state and I have no urge to spend the money on charcoal filters etc. I have it mounted in the top of the tent and pointed out one of the 8inch tent holes. It just dumps the air into the grow room and the Window AC unit takes care of recycling it. Room remains at a constant 68f.
The grow lets get to the good updates.
What was this struggling clone…
IS NOW THIS.
This was a blue dreams clone that I wasn’t sure was going to make it. The one on the left is a Blue Dreams from seed. Flipped to flowering 10 days ago and the seed BD is female. Yahhhhh!
There has been a couple of challenges with the one on the left but over all these two should produce a good crop. Many clones were taken 
Tent #2 has been in operation since the middle of May. In tent 2 we have
The Purple Kush in pot and is taken off on runway 5. Beautiful looking plant and keeping fingers cross that the feminized seeds do their thing. So far, every seed that has popped from ILGM has been female.
Ms Runtz is in the pot and took off was before the purple kush did. Most of this growth is just over a week old. Might be ready to flip in two weeks.

Lesson’s learned so far in this grow.
The Blue dreams I sprouted from seed I started to notice it looked under fed. In face it reminded me of the gorilla glue plant that I thought I under fed on grow one. The other BD was doing great and drinking from the same jugs, same nutes. I had dropped two Purple kush’s in Octo’s and gave one to my grow buddy. He called me back a couple of days later and said he dug the Kush out and put it in a new pot. He said the root ball was dry and rotos were not going anywhere. He made the comment that when he was removing the dirty it felt like he was trying to dig into a brick. The bells went off… So back in Jan 2022 I took all the soil I had and packed the pots before I moved, and they sat there for 4 months. I packed them tight as well. It never dawned on me nor did I read anywhere that you could over pack the octo’s too tight… Well you can… After chatting with @Paplag for a bit he confirmed my suspicion. I was trying to grow in brick. I loosened up the soil in the octo for the seed BD by giving it some good punches on the side as well as grabbing the trunk and giving it a good wiggle. Apparently, it worked as the plant is looking way much better now. The next couple of octos I did not pack as tight and those two are looking awesome too. Lesson Learned don’t pack them too tight.
The room my tents sit in has a window unit. The room acts as a lung room where cool air is sucked in from and the hot air is exported into where the window unit takes care of everything. This has allowed me to have more room in the tent as I do not need a Portable AC unit. I also noticed that the dehumidifier does not kick on as much to keep things dry as the window unit is doing a good job of it by itself.
That is all I have to report my friends! When we get past 4 weeks of flowering, I will post an update again. Hope your grows are doing well!
Up on Deck for Fall Grow ZSkittles!
