I'll redo my plant pictures...

You are right! Sorry, it's probably a forum bug. Will report it to the webmaster.

I figured it out, I had exited the attachment screen and had to turn it back on, ..

But before I figured that out, I used the camera symbol to access my pictures on my phone, and that was how they displayed on my post.

You had to click on the pictures, and when I did, everything went screwy.

I prefer to just post a full size picture so people don't have to click on stuff...

I used a tiny brush and cleaned up the electrode on my PH meter.

I tried to find a replacement electrode for my meter, but I didn't have any luck.

Fortunately, my meter will tell me when the electrode is worn out, so I know that I will have accurate readings until the meter can't calibrate itself anymore.

I think your plant is ready for the chop, I chopped mine 4 days ago.

Oh,.. OK.

It's always those foxtails that keep throwing me off.

I'll chop it and hang it now.

It's nice and dry right now with about 30%-40% RH in the house so she should dry out nicely without any risk of mold.

I'm just going to dry it right out for 10 days, skip the curing, then jar it.
That's how I did the CandyCane, and it turned out fine.
Lots of great terpines after it was in the jar, and really easy.


I'll start another of the same seed tomorrow and see if I can get it to germinate.

I want to grow the same strain in the big SIP container in the closet from start to finish to see what happens.

I should be able to get another 400+ gram plant in the closet.


I'm curious to see what kind of yeild this current plant is going to give me.

I chopped it, rinsed it in the shower then hung it up with the big fan blowing on it.

I cut it into two pieces and it's got a HUGE hollow pith at the middle of the plant.

The pith is solid at stalk though...

I still want to plant a seed in it though, so I think I'll drill a hole down through the stalk. Lol

That might allow the seeds tap root to get into something that it can penetrate.

The small diameter drill bits are pretty short though.
Maybe I'll start the hole with a drill bit, then try to sharpen up a piece of coat hanger and chew it down through the root system ??

It worked,...
I drilled a hole then drilled it deeper with a piece of coat hanger that I chewed up with a diagonal cutters.

I started one of Reiko's seeds to try to grow in the root stalk.


I'm going to just do one seed at a time so I don't get things mixed up.
Once this one gets planted, I'll start another Grapefuit seed from Fitzera to grow in the closet.

She's got a tap root growing.

That means the seeds are still viable after what they went through.

It was one Very Plump seed too.
She appears Very eager.

That took 30 hours since it went in to the shot glass.

looks weeks away from done.

Too late,... It's already chopped and hung.

But all my plants in the closet were always throwing out new pistils.

The new pistils tend to be at the top of the buds which was where they were for this plant too.

It makes it really hard to judge maturity.

This was kind of a low yeild plant so I don't mind finishing it up and starting a new one.


It was 12 weeks and 3 days old from being planted, which should be plenty for an Autoflower.

I've decided to add more LED stips to my closet.

I'm going to coat them with the conformal gel instead of making sheilds.
The sheilds were a PITA to make.

So I'm going to take a couple days to prepare the closet before I start a new seed for it.

I pulled her out of her hole for a picture...

Then I put her back in the hole...

I'm REALLY stoned and drunk right now...


My seed may not live till morning..

I dunno ??

Lol...
