The enzymes and bennies are kicking the shit outta the slime! I'm brewing up a new batch of Heisenberg tea right now with Mycogrow and Ancient Forest. Growing good bud really is a hell of a learning game!

Here's the SOG! I know they look like crap but the tops are growing out just fine.

And here's what the SCROG looks like. Top is still super healthy! And check out those close up shots! I know they're not the best pictures, but look at those trichomes!

And here's the roots. I know they still look kinda bad, but that's a hell of a lot better than they were! With temps back in check and the bennies added, I think they'll be fine!

And here's my autos, which aren't being all that automatic... They first showed pistils weeks ago, and yet they're still not any further than that...

Wow the Mykos, enzymes, and bacteria are just doing amazing! The roots look nothing like those pictures any more! And that's not even the cool part, the cool part is that there's brand new sparkly white roots growing out of the upper parts of the hydroton (and I assume down below too)!

Actually took these pictures last night but I was too stoned to post them lol

Here's the scrog. Everything seems to be looking good! (PH was high because I had just adjusted it. It settled to 6.1)

My "auto"flowers. They've been under 12/12 for like a week and are finally starting to go into flowering. I bent the main stem about 3 nodes from the top to shorten the plants and make them grow wider.

And here's the SOG. I realized the clones in the tray were taking up way too much vertical height which made my light less intense for the SOG. So I put the remaining clones in solo cups with FFOF because I didn't see any benefit to killing them, and lowered the light so it's brighter for all the plants!

Updates! Switched back to an MH bulb for the SOG to veg for 1 more week, then we're going into flower.

Here's the SOG. The plants are looking great, with some short branches that will be just right when I flower on Friday!
100_2972.JPG 100_2973.JPG
And here's the SCROG, and some close up bud shots. They're not as dense as my first grow, but then again there are a lot more of them. I'm planning to switch to my finishing bulb this friday, and then harvest 2 weeks after that. Might have to add another week to that if the plants aren't finished by then.

But man look at how sparkly they are!

And here's how high the lights ride above the plants when I'm not taking pictures.

Just switched to my finishing bulb on the SCROG and put a flowering bulb in the SOG and switched it to 12/12! And I snipped a fan leaf and looked at it with my cheapo pocket microscope and the crystals are all cloudy. I'm hoping for half cloudy half amber when I harvest.

Duuuuuuddddeeeee...... I cut off a few of the lower underdeveloped buds as samplers last Friday. They've been dried for 4 days and cured for 1 day so far, and those are fire! The smoke burns like hell, but that's because the buds weren't flushed at all at the time I cut them. Keep in mind these are the buds that didn't even really get light, and yet they are still frosty and potent! This is some legit white widow!

Here's tent #2! Currently 2 weeks into flower, and moving along nicely!
100_2991.JPG 100_2992.JPG
Here's the "autos" in the small tent. Also looking nice, but kind of behind on the flowering cycle.

And here's the current star of the show, the SCROG! These babies are currently in total darkness and waiting to be chopped down tomorrow! I'm so excited but also so nervous!!

All the plants are harvested and trimmed and are laying on their drying racks. I've got 2 1/2 zip lock bags of trim (super sticky out of the spinpro) in the freezer, will be making QWISO hash with it. I took a few pictures but I'm waaaaaaay too high to post pics lol

There's something beautiful about buckets full of weed!

And here's everything laid out on their racks. They're closer together than I'd like but I have no choice. (there's 7 levels but I didn't take pictures of every one)

Wow I just read through this whole journal and it's like watching your kid grow up or something. It's crazy...

So my final dried and cured harvest was only 10.5oz, which is very low from a 1000w light. I'm almost positive that was caused by the root rot issues I had. I'll learn from my mistakes and do it better next time.

Fortunately, my other grows are coming along nicely!
This is my SOG of white widow, with 16 plants in hempy buckets. These ones aren't suffering from those root rot issues, and you can see they are fattening up nicely, just like the plants from my first grow in my avatar. Knock on wood, but I think I'm almost guaranteed to get at least a lb out of this.

I transferred my "auto"flowers and my tiny white widow plants into the tent that the SCROG was in. The "autos" are acting weird, and seem to be growing really slow. Maybe they really are autoflowers and they're missing light... But it's still weird that they didn't flower on their own after like 2 months of veg. I had to induce flowering with 12/12 light, and even that took 10 days before I saw flowering.

The white widow clones on the other hand are looking nice! Of course they're tiny and are going to stay tiny, but hey it's organic dank bud that I grew for no extra cost.

Here's the autos. They're not doing much, but I'm not toooooo worried about them.
100_3017.JPG
Here's the tiny white widow plants in soil. These aren't gonna yield much, but it doesn't matter. These were just left over clones that I put in small soil pots instead of throwing them out. What would you expect these to yield? 2g per plant or so?
100_3016.JPG 100_3025.JPG 100_3026.JPG
And here's the big girls! These SOG plants are doing better than I thought they were going to! Simple perlite and vermiculite hempy buckets are great, so much easier than that stupid DWC was!
