Day 75 Aero tent. Res change day. Things are bulking up. Calyxes haven't changed too much, and I haven't scoped yet. It's still looking like I have a few weeks ahead of me for these to be done. I may take down the 1 small plant that's covered by the other 2 because it's not getting any light at all and it's pretty much stalled out. I'm still thinking I'll get a 1lb+ from this garden. Thoughts?
pH 5.9, TDS of nutrient solution 800ppm, rH 50%, res temp 68f, temp 74f.

Day 63 Soil tent. Looking like these may finish first. I haven't scoped yet, and they definitely have at least 10 more days, but getting close. Purps starting to show. Water only today, still alternating water/nutrients.
Temp 75f, rH 55%

Aero tent day 78. The plant in the middle (gelato) has put on so much weight that it's falling over. I have to be careful when I open the tent because the only thing really supporting the beast is the side walls of the tent. I have a feeling that it'll be coming down at day 86 (next Sunday). The back plant (Zkittlez) has rock hard buds. It's showing signs of mag deficiency as we get closer to the end, which makes sense because the feed chart halves the amount of CaliMagic going in to week 6. For future grows I may not reduce it in the end. Depending how it looks next Sunday, it may get the chop then, too.

Day 66 Soil tent. Also looking very close to chop time. Unlike the aeroponics Tent, this is weed as I remember growing it in years past. The aeroponics Tent is weed on steroids, this is much more predictable. Classic Christmas tree spearical buds, colorful, lots of smells. It's been fun to grow. Likely coming down at day 74, next Sunday.

Day 81 aero tent. I pulled 1 of the Gelatos as it was way under the canopy and I just couldn't care for it or get light to it. I'll be lucky if it yields 14g, it was nothing to write home about anyway. The other Gelato is still spitting out white pistils. It may come down this upcoming Sunday depending on how I feel. The Zkittlez is looking closer to done. Over the past 10 days it's really shown some issues with CalMag deficiency, but this late in to the grow I wasn't gonna sweat it. Things are toppling over in this tent, and I'm ready for it to be done.

I've learned what I needed to learn, remember, this was my first ever cannabis hydro grow, my first ever cannabis LED grow, my first ever feminized seeds grow, and my first ever auto grow. If I yield a pound, I'll consider it a success.

Day 69 soil tent. Fall colors and dense buds. A much more manageable tent in terms of plant size and structure. They're close, but may give them a little longer than I anticipated. They'll either come down on Sunday, or possibly the following Sunday. Either way, harvest is near.

First 7 pictures aero tent (Gelato, mostly white pistils, and Zkittlez, mostly orange pistils). Last 3 pictures soil tent (Wedding Cake).

Gelato is down. Took off the fan leaves and hung to dry. Looking like 10-12 ounces from this one alone, not including the popcorn nugs that'll be used for edibles and tincture.

Long day of trimming. Did a rough trim on the Zkittlez, and finished up trimming the Gelato. Wet weight 11lbs combined plus 9 ounces of popcorn buds.
After that, I moved on to cleaning all my gear and setting up my new tent in preparation for the next grow.
I think I'll pop 2 more auto wedding cake seeds tomorrow and run them in the 2x2 in soil. I like the way they are running in there now, and I won't need the light that is powering that tent for a while (it'll be used to light the 3x3 mom/clone tent in the future).
Soil tent is finishing up right now, probably 10-14 days remaining. The girls in there have taken up the most beautiful fall colors and are smelling and looking real nice. Hoping for 5-8oz between the 2 of em.

Soil tent day 75. Real nice colors. Should be done in another week or so. Plain water, no nutrients over the past several waterings (battling super high EC in runoff, straight water seems to have corrected the issue).

Dropped 2 more Wedding Cake auto seeds in rapid rooters to replace these 2 when they come down. I like the way they've grown in the small tent, and won't be needing this light for a while (until I have mom's of my Fam95 ready), so I figured I'd put the light and space to use in the meantime.

Geez, I forgot how long trimming takes. It's gonna be a long week, with few updates from me. Stay tuned. I'll be real close to 2lbs from 2 plants in the aero garden. Considering pulling an all nighter tonight to make a dent in what needs to be done.


Also, coming down after I finish this bunch of trimming is the 2 Wedding Cakes in the soil tent. And because I timed everything, the next grow will begin right after those are pulled.

Gelato dried and in jars. This was the smaller of the 2 plants in the aero tent. 275 grams.

Working on trimming the Zkittlez now, looking like it'll be in the 400 gram range.

Teaser of the Zkittlez trimmed and going in to jars. I've trimmed just over 4 ounces of it so far. It is fire. At least another half pound or more to trim. Expecting 375-425 grams. Final weight when I get finished trimming.

Day 79 soil tent. Coming down as soon as I have room in the drying tent and time to do it. Most likely Sunday.

Final weight on Zkittlez was 294g. Not as much as I thought (I estimated 400g), but a nice pull none the less.

That makes the 2 plants in the 3x3 under 3x Mars Hydro ts1000s total yield equal 570g. Not too shabby!

The 2 soil wedding cakes come down today!

Timber!

Wedding Cake is hanging to dry, tents and room are cleaned up, and the next grow has already been started.

This journal will be discontinued, aside from total weight and dried pictures of the wedding Cake in about a week.


Thanks all for following along!

Trimming is done! Thank goodness!

132g in to jars from the soil tent using 1 Mars Hydro ts1000 (150w) in a 2x2 tent.

Total of both tents combined is 702g produced by 600w.

As always, airy bud is not counted and it went in to the trim jars for use in edibles. I have about 6 ounces of dry trim and airy buds to start making edibles with. That'll begin this week.

Gelato and Zkittlez are curing up real nicely after 10-12 days of cure.

This journal is officially complete at this time.
