hrm, cannatrol still got that hay/wet bud smell going on. Think I was supposed to hang dry the buds for a day before loading it up to let some moisture dry initially, might have to use the spare bedroom for the rest of the plant.

Initial bud certainly lost its denseness

Auto's still holding on in the tent, guess will change the tank again today

 

[sandman83]

Still just flopping all over in the tent...photo's a bit blurry today my bad.

 

[sandman83]

Well, it doesn't look terrible? Smells better after 1/2 the cure cycle as well. Still letting the auto's run a bit longer. Had another leak in the ac infinity tent....debating and will do something in the morning.

Lameeeee think the critical lights have some rot in them, blackened oranges #1 was overflowing so bad the drywall and carpet pad got wet so had to sacrifice it.


Will assess the damage once I've calmed down a bit.

Don't let it bug you too much bro check the bud with your fingers and see how far in the rot is, and if the stem is white or moldy, just cut it off carefully, toss that part, and it'll be fine. I have huge rot issues late Fall normally, and I've had to cut whole tops off before. But if it's not super deep, you can cut that part out, and just keep an eye on the rest.

Hope it's alright for you

The water leak bothers me more, I knew the ventilation and supports needed work so losing some of the bud is just sad.

Thought I'd gotten it fixed but now its overflowing each filling so I've unplugged for now to let everything dry out, I'll manually flood it to keep the girls happy and put some gloves on to look thru the buds....


Looks like Susie Creamcheese #1 might be a boy, I see some balls forming, only one so far though. Might just be a sign to reset things and reevaluated the layout again.

 

[Psychobilly]

You'll get it sorted

You found a boy named Sue! I love Johnny Cash lol this past year growing Susie Cream Cheese my first time, I had one boy, and one girl. She produced really well too. You can tell; I'm not out yet and only had one plant lol

How the rest of your day is smoother bro; I'm off into the garden to cut some clones finally.

 

[sandman83]

I tell you what bobby, that blackened oranges #2 was a sleeper in the corner. I cut down #1 to fix some issues and she's basically been the entire space all along. I've got enough of the 1/2" hosing to just bypass the one I removed....maybe will help removing the one that was overflowing the worst.

Still have cuttings of B.O. #2 and 8BK #4 in the fridge that i'd forgotten, so will do some cleanup and perhaps bring the cloner back out.

 

[sandman83]

No orange aroma at all, but perhaps was just the name.

Blackened Oranges #2 that has survived so far...

 

[sandman83]

Remaining photo girls in the overflowing closet. Day 54, so almost 8 weeks of flower? Perhaps they are just getting close to the end...

Some of them feel dense, I just don't like the way some of them smell, will put some gloves on and pray them open....



8 ball kush #4, best looking of the bunch I suppose?

 

[Frimpong]

@sandman83 that BO was fire ass smoke hope ya enjoy. 8 ball is on my list too she looks awesome man 👌

 

[sandman83]

Ok feeling better today, been watching the 2gallon modules like a hawk but dropping the water level by half and cutting out one girl seems to have done the trick. Critical lights might have some rot but will deal with that as we can.....

Susie Creamcheese updates

SC 1 and SC 4 confirmed males, both got the snip and all cuttings tossed. Fridge might be a tad cold not all the cuttings were happy. SC 3 is showing pistils and confirmed female. Looks like will cut down all of the mother tent and restart from clones of 2/3/5.

 

[sandman83]

Chop day has arrived.......first auto has been cut and removed to first drying location. Then will wet trim and fill the cannatrol up!



Larfy B needs to come down as well I think, the foxtails were some nanners forming I think for end of life stress?

are you all wet trim? kind of the polar opposite over here. i dont trim until right before i jar, less hay and grass smell that way for me at least. gradual release of the chlorophyll offgassing seems to give me better results. never used a cannatrol though

Just going by the recommendations tbh, its way too hot for me to be able to keep a room cold enough for drying purposes

 

[sandman83]

Ok, just smoked the first 'sample' bud that was test dried. Grass/hay smell has gone away and smelled like proper bud when I pulled it out of the baggy. Still a bit loose/airy but that was more my fault. Pleasantly stoned from some homegrown again.

 

[Psychobilly]

You have a female !!!!!!! Oh I'm so happy for you bro!

ah gotcha. just some ideas. i hang dry in the same tent i flower out in here, just take the light out and leave the exhaust fan running. good to hear the hay went away

after recommendations, the 2nd auto is getting cut and hung in the tent. I was planning to leave her a bit longer but those 'nana's are popping up and she's giving up.

trim trim trim....it certainly doesn't hold as much as I'd thought it would. lower buds are awful airy still but oh well.

Don't worry bro; once you got some Cheese flowering out, you'll have more Buds than a Wisconsin phone book
