Shzz I wanted to ask you as you mentioned about being more about yield etc... what would you do different if you were going strictly for quality? Just go longer?

Well, good news and bad news…..

Strain looks great, incredible resin production. That’s the good news.

Bad news is yield looks to be only average, probably my lowest yielding one under LED’s.

I use the Bluelab Tri-meter, which is set in my resevoir............ it's a great meter, lasts forever and I only calibrate it once every 3-4 months.

The easiest way to find all my latest stuff is do a google search with "sshz and grow diaries" or "sshz and gavita" and click again where it says sshz and grow diaries ONLY. Many of the latest ones will come up. On RIU, I have some all the way back to 2010, but you have to search for them. 90% are on either RIU or thcfarmer, but there's another 5-6 sites I post at too on and off. The grows before 2019 were HPS, after that they were Gavita LED's.

Figure if I started posting in 2010, that's 12 years with 4 grows a year- there's probably 45 different grows and strains out there in internet land. I have also found each search engine will find different ones so also search Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Aol and any other engines you know of. As I've said, alot is redundent, so it can get boring after a while.

So, no links for my stuff, just search for them.

As long as you keep growing I will keep learning. I am a slow learner . After watching your last 5 grows I am beginning to see not much changes from grow to grow. Now maybe what took you 35 years to figure out will cut my learning curve time. I think your next grow I will keep notes or an outline.

I still think the first Orange Gasm thread on the Farm is the best thread I ever did, as it includes every bit of detail on a complete grow start to finish. I didn't know shit about LED's, and numerous people came in with recommendations that helped the success of that one. I checked some old ones out last night at the farm, although closed and no more posting allowed, the views keep coming and are up to 75K views so people are still referring to them. I'm banned from there these days, but do have another account I use when necessary...........

I deffo read that one often... I've read that orangegasm grow like 6 times I think... this time I'm taking notes haha... you know there's good info when people take the time to sit down and take notes like in college... and that's no bullshit .. I'm just glad I found it in the 1st place... you and a few in that thread have been so very helpful.. it's incredible!! I try to find the newer as well because of the tweaks made .. the fine tuned version is always better than the rough draft... but the rough draft is absolutely necessary as well... anyway.. THANK YOU SHZZ!!!!

So you know, there are 2 Orange Gasm threads I did…..one, the original back in 2019 I think, is the one you want. It like 68 pages long, its a beast. The 2nd one I did, a year and a half later, was much smaller and quickly done.I didn’t feel there was anything
to add, so I kept it short.

There’s actually more popular threads now, as I saw a Cookie thread I did on the farm that now has over 76k views, which surprised me. I don’t hunt my stuff down to view much anymore, since I’m banned at the Farm. I have a new handle on there now, but don’t go there much.

i also saw tonight I fucked up when I made my weekly schedule for the flowering time on the Bubblehead and listed week 7 twice. That means everything will be finished a week earlier than I had thought, which is a good thing. So 3rd week in July looks about right now.

Sorry, it was an Ethos "Candy Store" condensed diary on the Farm I meant to say, over 74K views........... there's an Ethos Cookies on there too that has to be getting up there now too, but I didn't search for that one. There's so many, its hard to keep everything straight these days.

So I think I mentioned only 21 or 24 Bubbleheads made it and I wanted to fill the space 100% so I threw in 3 Ethos “Orange Kush Cake” to round it all out. The Bubbleheads lean to the sativa side, the OKC is an indica with a shorter flowering period, 8-10 weeks. Saturday will be thru 8 weeks and they are finishing really nicely, so much so I’ll stop fertilizing the 3 now and they’ll get plain water from now to chopping- which I’m figuring maybe a week away. They look great though, and I’ll put up a pic or two when I’m next in the room in a few hours. I can’t speak of the high, as Ethos stuff is always hit or miss, but they sure look fantastic with nice weight.
