Kali Mist Grow Journal

Edit: I really need to try attaching my bong to the SSV. I used to be a hopeless bong addict, anytime I smoke out of a bong I smoked waaaay to much haha! Now I have a bong in the house again my usage has gone through the roof and the vape just stays packed away....I'm starting to get the disgusting cough and tight chest in the mornings, defiantly time to get creative and start using the vape again! Only problem is my bong is a fair size, probably not the best for using with a vape :(

All you'll really need is a GonG to interface your bong with the SSV.

I wouldn't know about the coughing, I've smoked less than 12 joints in my life (I can't even roll) and probably less than half a dozen times smoked with a bong. I can't tolerate the harsh smoke at all.

I've vaporized or eaten it, always. The bubbler+vape combo allows me to mediate all day every day if I want to, with zero irritation. :dance013:

Day 115-63

I'm 7 days away from DAY 70 of flower, from which point SS says some of my buds may be ready.

I traced back all the tall branches in my grow to a single plant, while the other fatter buds came from the second plant. At first I thought the tall branches were popping in the periphery because of lack of direct light, but it was a coincidence these branches happened to be around.

I realized one of my electrical extension cord has a small orange light embedded in the female head (to confirm there is current passing through). I had never noticed it before. It's faint, but it's on the side of the first plant, which means it could have been exposed since the start of the grow.

In any case, the tall branches have started to pack up, but they're still late compared to the other plant.

Trichs on exposed plant:

My guess is I'll be harvesting plant #2 before plant #1, and I'll let finish at its own pace.

Day 116-64

A comparison between the stressed out plant, same tall branches today and 7 days ago exactly.

They've really started to fatten up. The sense of scale is loss here unfortunately so it's difficult to tell, but it's very visible to the naked eye.

The top of the branch on the right started flowering aggressively.

And the smell has started to pick up... it's DIVINE. OMG. I was expecting to get a stinking skunk kind of odor. But not these ladies. Cinnamon, pine and citrusy undertones that is overall quite pungent and pleasing.

I really can't wait for the first taste. The smell is mouth watering.

On a scale of 1 to 10, my patience level has increased to 50.

Holly crap man! They have gotten up and had a huge crack since the light leak issues have been resolved! Really good to see how fast of a turn around that cola had once you figured out the cord issue.... I have always thought that would happen to me one day actually, it's a very sneaky place for a light to hide!

Sorry I haven't had time to read your journal all the way from the start, is that a bit of burning going on with the fan leaves? Meh, not that it's an issue this far in.....

Your photo's are amazing quality, gives me motivation to buy a real camera! Its great also that the beautiful smells are coming out, sounds tasty ;)

The nute burn occured while I was literally KO in bed for two days (related to my disease). I was nearing the end of a drain & replenish and the volume of water was low, and PPM shut up to 1200PPM. The PPM/pH/Temp monitor runs 24/7 but I just couldn't check on it, and when I realized, damage was already done. It happened about 4-5 weeks ago. Bad luck :(

It's guaranteed to have hurt the plants and my yield, sadly. If only I could automate the PPM regulating process. It's the only thing that isn't automated.

Wouldn't even stress it at all ;)

I know I manage to get a tiny bit of burn on my lower fans pretty much every grow, sure doesn't seem to be a big deal though.

I posted pictures of a particular bud a few times in my journal, one that was further along than the other because of how it came out sideways from the net and got more light exposure?

Well, I checked on it this morning and the thing has nearly doubled in size in 3 days. It was already the fattest bud in the tent, now it's just so dense and packed! Wow! I guess this is what people meant when they say buds pack on the most of their weight in the last 2 weeks?

It looks amazing. If all buds swell like that I should have a kickass harvest!

With all the material and equipment I'll need for my perpetual 2K grow op, I don't think I can afford to drop a few hundred dollars on bags to make kief this time.

Unless there's another method?

Another lovely pic,
there are a few of ways to get your sift with not much money.
Hit up the craft store for some cheap mesh material,screen printing stuff will do.
Here's a thread showing a sifting frame made for $15,

There is also the dry ice method which can be done with one bag or a mesh.
Amazon have differing mesh's,here's a link to the differing sizes of mesh,

There are also ways to make bubble if interested just use the search to find diy bubble threads.

Where there's a will there's a way!

I ended up getting a 5 gal. bubble now and 5 bags (220 micron, 160 micron, 73 micron, and 25 micron) since I found a good price for 'em.

A friend of mine has easy access to dry ice, so I should be good to make some bubble hash.
