Haha! It can guard the outside girls but it can’t come in the tent! Lol. I got to go in there!

True Story! She’s a big gal!

Nice view, nice cola, nice arachnid!

What Shed Said

Nobodyhere and I got our new journal up and running. We are going to grow 707 Headband. Here is the link! Please join us for this grow!

707 Headband: A Joint Venture With Nobodyhere and Mr. Magoo!

Northern Light Auto
Day 56

Gettin chilly out here! She’s had 2 doses of the iso mix and one dose of the spinosad. I checked last night for any live critters and found none. Lots of leaf damage. I’ll probably dose one more time tonight with spinosad and just watch to make sure that no new signs of pest show up. Did a little more training on her just to open the middle up a tad more. I’m pretty sure I’m the best person on this site at one thing.....splitting the main stalk! Lol. Done it every time so far. This time all the way from the top to the lower node. Duct taped her up so hopefully she takes it in stride. We will see. Got some more rain coming in today so back to the portch she goes. Here’s a few pics from last night!

2 weeks in on the Blue Dream Cob. Took her out today and removed the corn husk. Gonna let her dry for a bit then revac without the husks for another week! Starting to smell pretty good! Here’s a couple pics!

Oof! Always nice to find something you're good at .

 

[Kismet]

Cob looks great Magoo and your outdoor girl looks healthy even with the pest damage. You and your OldBear balls lmao

How about dry weight of this first grow?

 

[ItsTommyGunnz]

That Northern Light looks delicious man.. can't wait to try it myself I love that strain!

 

[Mr. Magoo]

I’ll check this afternoon. They are in the turkey bags now.

My original goal was 5oz for this grow. Hoped for more but set my sights on that number. The goal for my next grow is 8. I’m not sure about what’s possible for my space but I want to improve each time if possible. I don’t know how my next strains compare to this BD either. I think if I grew 2 more of these out again I could definitely increase my yield. Docs kit will help I believe. Light improvements down the line should as well.

Have you figured grams per watt?

 

[StoneOtter]

I have entered every month - and been lucky enough to snag second prize twice. Both those winners were taken with my phone - the ones with my fancy camera not so much! It’s about the atmosphere... equipment doesnt matter so much sometimes. That budwash shot I took Iike 10 of them while I was swishing the branch up and down, trying to capture the push of the bubbles through the plant structure (cause I was so mesmerised how beautiful it looked!). About 3 of them came out well - and that one I entered was cropped from a broader frame.

Your bud wash pic is my all time fav for sure.

 

[StoneOtter]

You guys or gals that use fabric pots. Do you reuse them or trash them? If you reuse them, what method of cleaning them and making sure there are no nasties do you use?

I turn them inside out, brush off anything I can, then put em in the washing machine. They end up like new. I don't know how many wash cycles they can go. One anyway, maybe two so far.

 

[Mr. Magoo]

Have you figured grams per watt?

No I haven’t. I’ll check that as well.

 

[nobodyhere]

No I haven’t. I’ll check that as well.

I will preface this with the note that I am a person that obsesses about performance metrics in life. I could never be a baseball coach. I work in an industry where your worth is determined by certain ratios at the end of the year....so that being said.....

Is the gram/watt metric applied to grows? individual plants? or some other period.

I have thought about g/w for a bit, it makes sense as a metric if your doing a 'grow' of a set number of plants in a space over a period of time. But for those of use who sprout and move stuff constantly in and out of the tent growing a number of single plant varieties...it's kinda a false metric....If your running 500w and grow one auto that is 20 grams but have 5 other plants under the light at the same time....well.

I have not broke a gram/watt yet on a plant basis. Doubt I will in this tent. But I don't count all the larf and trim, I only count jarred bud.

For example, I have three plants in a tent all due at different times. Do I expect a gram/watt from each plant, or the tent? Since the plants are harvested at different time periods it does not make sense to measure in terms of power as that is a function of time (watt)?

So, if I get on
day x 125g +80g of larf and trim from plant one.
day y 25g + 10g trim from a spog auto.
day z 55g + 10g trim from a very compact photo.

all under 200w over a period of 3 weeks during harvest.
I personally would not consider that a g/watt.

What I am getting at, is that this metric is great and all, but for those shifting plants of different ages in and out of a small square footage tent, it's kinda a wonky metric.

I prefer the metric of - can someone smoke your grow and look at you and say, "screw retail"

and its fun to look at quantity, but obsess about quality

It's all about getting quality meds and having fun friend. Good thoughts.
