Subbed.

I can't wait for a smoke report. I want a triply Thai. I was looking at this and Mama Thai from seedman. Mama Thai doesn't have ma y reviews.I may get both and see how it goes. Keep up the good work. Looking great so far.

Ditto and thanks! Good to know you're lookin on.

Got a few shots on day 17 flower as the light was warming up. Check them out:

Day 20 flower (today)




The blumats are really humming now. No noticeable difference in moisture level day-to-day (gauged by weight). Kinda boring!

The scrog could be acting a bit more efficiently, as you might see. I managed to work the main colas out toward the edge of the light... I will chalk it up to my first scrog-job, and this will give me something to improve next cycle.

Brewed another tea for microbes. I've been brewing back-to-back, working out the proper volumes; In my head, on paper, don't always match up with what I do in reality. So, I am trying to be more conscious and exact about it. I am drenching my houseplants, as well as my raised bed out back. This particular brew will go to my flowers in the next hour. Probably could skip this one, as I gave them a tea less than a week ago, but it won't hurt.

- 1.3 Cups EWC
- 4.5 Tbsp Molasses
- 0.5 Tbsp fish hydrolysate
- 3.5 gallon RO water, brewed 24hrs




Won't be long now... Peace

Day 23


Day 27


Well, I ditched the blumats. I feel I can do a better job of keeping them moist. The blumats are still rockin on my mothers, and I would use them in flower again only if I left town etc...

Also, I am getting some yellowing on old growth, on one of the plants (the left one). Keeping an eye on it... I am working on my next soil mix, and I will be moving to a ~50 gallon no-till bed (compost sak).

Did a little top-feeding with kelp/ewc and sprinkle of P guano, and watered with some aloe/silca mix, between teas.

Lastly, the dual-arc seems pretty weak overall. The spectrum is good, but the lumens are low. And, (in person at least) you can clearly see the left get's more red while the right gets more blue. At this point it does look like the flowers show the difference, and may also contribute to the yellowing (left side is under red, buds are fatter, with yellowing on fan leaves).

Maybe 8-10 weeks to go, per the vendor, we'll see!

Some fresh shots for us today

47 days










Still brewing basic teas, but mostly for the yard. Most recent watering they received aloe, yucca, and barley sprout water (sprouted in trays and soaked ~48hrs). Notice the yellowing/browning and leaf tips. Not pretty, but I'm still figuring it out. Many older leaves have ended up going to the compost pile.

I should have used a strain I am familiar with, when changing to organic methods. I'll be simplifying my next mix for future grows. With changes influenced more by continued research than experience from this particular grow. I mentioned a no-till bed before, but I am not ready for that. I am considering doing 3 mixes with minor variances, so I can speed the learning curve. We'll see...

Oops that is 37 days and not 47

This thread just died? Bummer, I was also very interested in the smoke report.
