Diary PCBuds mini-grow

[PCBuds]

My window looks ready to harvest,..

The little popcorn/larf buds now have some orange pistils.

She will be 13 weeks old in two days.

Some of the side buds,..

The top of the main cola,..

I took her out of the reservoir and set her on newspaper to pull the water out of the planter.

I'll let her dry out for a day or two then chop her,..

 

[ReikoX]

Looks nice! How does she smell?

 

[PCBuds]

Looks nice!

Thanks

How does she smell?

She smells like and fried
Lol



She does smell good but I suck at trying to describe it.
It is a strong enough smell to smell it in the kitchen, especially when you get close to it.

There is the smell of the closet plant filling the house too though, but I've grown accustomed to it.

My neighbor said he could smell it outside. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

My closet plant has a buzz cut,.. lol

 

[PCBuds]

Getting her ready for the chop.
I gave her a buzz cut. Lol

I opened her up a bit,..

 

[PCBuds]

I checked the numbers of the reservoir of my closet plant,..

The PH was too low and the PPM was too high.
So I dumped it out and poured about 2 liters of plain tap water through the plant, then dumped that out.

Then I feed her 2 liters of nute solution PHed to 5.84

So my media has finally stabilized its PH so now I can feed her at 5.8 and see which way the PH drifts.


She has slowed down her drinking a bit, probably because I removed a lot more leaves.
Most of the leaves that I removed were pretty dry and crispy though, so I don't think they were transpiring that much.

Looking good. You don't think it's time to go pure tap yet?

 

[PCBuds]

Looking good.

Thanks.

You don't think it's time to go pure tap yet?

No, I don't flush at the end.
I give my plants food and water right up until the end.

I stop watering for a couple of days before I chop it to dry out the media and the plant a bit.

The media is easier to reuse if it's not too wet.

 

[PCBuds]

I just checked my closet plant, and I've got a bunch of amber trichomes, so I'm going to drain the planter and let it dry out for 2-3 days then chop it.

 

[PCBuds]

I cut and hung both my plants.

I turned the lights to always on and have the fans running to help dry them out.

Not sure you need light or excesive heat when drying weed. I would avoid it. More airflow maybe would do a better result with much less wattage?

OK.
I turned off the lights and plugged in the exhaust fan.

It's ok as long you promise not to hurt yourself with that propeler.. they have a cage around them for a reason, you know?

Yeah, it's been like that for years, even my knows to keep her nose out of it.

It's a plastic blade so it doesn't hurt that much.

This one draws blood though.
It's got a metal blade.

I could always unplug it to adjust it, but that wouldn't be any fun. Lol

They're way more efficient and effective without a cage.

This one's next.

The window plant is done so I'm taking the fan down to clean it, oil it and remove the cage.

 

[PCBuds]

I cleaned, oiled and deshrouded my kitchen fan,..

​

​

​

​

​

​

​



There was almost no oil in the felt.
The fan hasn't been used for that long, so it was done like that at the factory.

They probably do that on purpose so the fan will fail just after any warranty expires, so you have to buy another one.

​

​

I put a drop of crazy glue on the nuts so the don't vibrate loose.
(It works great if you don't have LockTite.)

All done,..

​

 

[exploziv]

I got some deep cuts and nicks in the past even from low speed pc coolers with plastic blades. You must have some thick skin lol. But keep your fingers bro, that metal one looks like would bite you if it gets the chance. Don't try your luck by doing stupid shit.

 

[PCBuds]

Yeah, it wasn't that bad either.
I only bleed for a couple minutes. Lol

That was two days ago.
It's almost healed now,..

I hit the blade twice. Lol

There's not a week that goes by without me springing a leak.

I'm a bloody mess when I work on my car. Lol




I'm leaving the shroud on this fan though,..
It's got a lot more horse power. Lol
