Yes it’s definitely a big expansion from the 3x3. I need to work on getting wall to wall coverage tho to really get a good yield

3x3 tent; Ghost Cookies, back left, and Kitchen Sink, back right, are stretching like crazy. Ready to flip em soon. Apple Tartz in the middle with the funky leaves I'm going to ignore. Black Light Bubba front left is nice and squat so far.

I’ve had the Bittersweet around since spring, flowered it early summer and had a bad case of bud rot so decided to keep it for the drier time. Hopefully I can avoid that this time but this will be my last run of it, I have other GMO crosses I want to get to. And honestly surprised lol, didn’t know folks were checking for me or updates

Flower Tent Update

Bittersweet: Main Cola of Bittersweet got hit with the dreaded mold. I have no idea how I missed it but its evident i pics from 6/15 smh. Buds too thick so good thing I topped the clones but some late flower nanners so I gotta watch that next time. Sucks that I have to throw it away. Day 79 of flower.

Pandemic on day 69 of flower.. Should let it go longer but its getting chopped to make space

Lavender Jones is struggling with something... Day 49 of flower

Full tent shot before and after cutting Bittersweet and replaced it with Bittersweet clone. Single Scoop and Kitchen Sink up front.

The entire cola on the right went in the garbage... Bittersweet clone upfront looks tortured but I'm hoping it'll be alright.

Actually had to throw whole plant away besides a couple branches I chopped 2 weeks before so I did get to smoke a bit and it had good terps.

Is this your first round green crack s1's? I came very close to popping some of those on my last round but chose the green crack cross instead. Have been looking for a good sativa for the line up and will be keeping a eye on your grow with the GC s1.

Yes Schwaggy sent those to me when he saw I was looking for a nice daytime strain. I’ll be able to flower it out before it gets warm to decide if it’s a good strain for skating. Hopefully I don’t disappoint

I've heard green crack is an amazing smoke and terpene profile

Cool will look forward to your report on it. I will keep you posted on the Chocolate Crack (Chocolate trip x Green Crack) i have going but that will not even hit the flower room for another 8 or 9 weeks from now. Are you setting that 4x8 up were you will be able to walk inside it or access everything from the outside? Can't imagine a flower room that big

Seriously man I'm jelly . I've always dreamed about a full 4*8 ?

Oh yeah I have my eyes on that, wish I had some Chocolate Trip but missed that train. I currently have a trellis net in the 4x8 so I can’t walk in there but if it wasn’t i’d be able to. I have a pump sprayer thing for watering with the net but I think I’ll go without it the next round and pick up bamboo sticks instead

I went back to the bamboo a while back . While hard to beet the netting for yield but i like being able to pull the plant out for multiple reasons.
