Someone had asked a while back about the Dosi genetics... I had just forgot, but Dosi Whoa! is Do-Si-Do X Ethos Kush RBX4.

In week 4 now, so yes! Prob bump it up a little next week to 1300.

Spot checking PH levels. As you can see, it's pretty consistent in week 4. With these type of meters, its a good idea to wait 24 hours after a feeding/watering to check the levels. If you were to check it straight after, it's gonna read higher because it has not had time to buffer with the medium. It'll start dropping off as the medium dries. This is why I prefer to feed in at 7.1-7.3, because as they drink over the next couple of days, they will be in the zone for uptake. These 2 were fed last night.

generally speaking, when do you start bringing it down? id imagine its strain dependent as with most things
Full on Hazmat suit for them . Would love to see they facial expressions when u had it to them

Generally... I start bringing it down around week 8. The Dosi is a 10 week strain, the other 2 are unknown, as I have never finished them before. By the time we start harvesting, I'll be in the 800 range as the lowers finish up. We do a 2 stage take down. First, the upper colas, then as they are drying, we'll let the secondaries cook for another 2 weeks or so as they add on some bulk.
Word on the street is as of July1st, they are halting all new licenses for 2 years as they inspect the current 8200ish grows. We've been operating since 2018, and have not seen anyone from the State as of yet. But they say that by Dec 2022, all grows will have been inspected. Im waiting for them with all the PPE. These guys are going to be doing 150ish inspections per week.. Im not gonna let them in without being fully covered, shoes, hair, etc. They cannot write you up for protocol... only for full on refusal upon entry... and they have to give you 24 hours notice before an inspection.Full on Hazmat suit for them .

I think unless they are complete aholes, you’ll gain their respect by having them follow these protocols you have in place for them. When they see how clean y’all run this operation I believe they’ll get it. I mean it’s like your producing medicine here. It would be even better if one could request they come by early in the morning like be their first stop of the day instead of having them over right after they just left ol don’t really give a shit Joe’s place and have some jacked up spores or mites etc brought in.

Totally agree. They do have respect for protocol from what I've heard from other growers that have been inspected. My hope is that they will find some of these "fly by night" ops that are not "clean" and they will force them to shut down until they come up to standards. We produce clean medicine...that's our goal. We take every step we can to prevent mold, bacteria, WPM, botrytis, etc. .... bugs have not been a problem so far. IMP schedules are in place, and have worked so far. Biggest investment we have made was in the AirROS. It's a good selling point to our buyers. We have ZERO microbes detected at the lab because of this machine. You can see our grow featured on thier page at http://www.airrosshield.com

Thanks for the co2 info, very helpful. Best of luck this year, keep up the great work!
Ok, after going thru, following your progress, and reading 63 pages over the last couple days, you've got one hell of a setup. Awesome to see how far you've come, and its IMPRESSIVE to say the least!!!!! A job definitely well done!!!!
I really, really cringed, and my jaw hurt when I saw you were going to run "nuke heads" strains, IMO a step in the wrong direction!!!!! A group of guys that work for me, all traded and ran clones from "nuke heads" last year, and they were all very, very disappointed, small plants, low yield, and not very high in THC, I think the highest that "Jam" (the brother, grower, and provider of clones to my guys) was tested at a paltry 10.4 THC & just under 1% Terps. I wouldn't take any clones or run any, because of what I've read about them, and seeing a couple videos that he has put out. It just kind of turned me off, and I had a pretty good year running my strains, (outdoors) &will definitely have more than I can smoke
By the time this years harvest takes place, hell, I'm still puffing on "Trench Buddy" from 2019's crop!!!!!!!
Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!! Looking forward to watching and seeing your grow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man!... It's def been a journey. The NukeHeads... yeah, prob the worst strains I've ever ran. BitterSweet Haze is just stupid disappointing. Very short, no stretch, small bud sites in week 4... im a little pissed. Aside from the one Lemon Cane (from mother 10), from NukeHeads, if she tests good, I'll prob run it again. If not, then im running a whole room of Dosi Whoa!. I know what Im getting there. It's always tested ~23-24% THC and 2.5-2.65 terps from a 3 year pheno. It's also always been our heaviest yielder, runs clean through the GreenBroz trimmer with very little hand finishing needed. Thanks for following along!

Hey pard, been a few moons. Looks good as usual. Question for ya. Have you tested the Thc etc comparing the top buds everyone wants to lower branches buds? I am just one curious son of a Bitch about that.... my guess is all the same but looks. you know, like when the lights are off its all about the same right? Wait, that's another group... Idk

No sir... we usually scope the top colas (our lab samples), and look for samples with the most dense trichs, right color, etc. Some people cheat the labs by drying out thier samples as much as possible. This method is straight up cheating to try and get higher THC readings. I mean, it does work because you're lessening the mass (water activity) with the same sample size, which is 10 grams. I've never sent in lower buds because I know they won't test quite as high as the tops. I can see this under the microscope that the trichcomb density is less. ... and I don't want to waste $350ish bucks on testing lower buds.

Thanks for the details. cool. I see ur point and cost. It's kinda like catchin a buzz I don't notice any less buzz on the prettyest tops to the lower bud smoked? I am just sayin.
