Come Grow With Me: A Beginners Guide

Did you use the bowl trimmer to trim the buds? I’m thinking about getting one...

I have one i use mainly on my outdoor, just way too much volume to do any other way.
I don't use it on indoor because it just hammers the buds. Mine does anyway.
Strips pistols and trichomes. Someone showed me a trick,wood dowls across holding bowl a bit higher saving some bud.
Made fantastic trim though.

You can also make a shim to go between the blade & the screen. I thought of that after I sold it .... lol.

I gave him the STS & he has a separate room he can do this in better then I can.

Nice nugs Buds! Do you have a link to the STS spray method he'll be using (timing mostly...I think dilution rates are pretty much the same across all instructions). I'm researching best-practices as I'll be giving it a go next month with my Candidas.

I'm not sure. I'll ask him. I think he's following a video.
My stepson just told me my weed got him higher then any dispensary weed he's been getting. He only got a sample of scrappy popcorn buds so that's good to hear.
 
There is something else I happened to notice. For the past couple years I've used those cheap $10 - $15 pH pens.
My pH of nutes was all over the place according to those pens. I recently bought a Bluelab pH pen. Every time my nutes have came out pH 6.3 without adding Up or Down. Just thought I'd mention it.

Hope they are a sponsor? I'm a big fan. 4xa day for two years mine lasted.
 
Didn't realize it was getting so hot outside. Shed was 102 F this morning. Had to put the AC on in there. Hope it didn't hurt anything. Thought I'd have this grow over before it got this hot so I could swap out the HPS lights for LED's for the summer. But this grow is taking forever & yielding way less then my previous grows.
I truly think MC version 3 has something to do with the yields & plant issues this time. I questioned the manufacturer & they said that it had issues in a round about way & offered me a Free Bag of Version 4 that they came out with after my last order in Aug. 2020. The new bag has already shipped. Hopefully it's better. I was just asking if they had any Version 2 left that I could buy when they offered the Free bag of version 4.
 
Just a few pics of the 5 x 5. Peyote Wi Fi should have been named PITA Wi Fi ! I've had more trouble with this strain then any other I've grown. It will be a pleasure to chop these down. Maybe even with a vengeance ! Looks like a good 4 weeks to go to me. Hairs are starting to get red & crinkle up so I'll have to grin & bear it a while longer.
The White Widow is getting chopped this weekend coming. I think she's ready so I'll give her a few extra days.

He said he's just following the directions on-line from the company I bought the spray from. It's Encino 420 STS.
 
Tons of frost on those flowers Buds, but sorry the PWifi is giving you such a hard time! Grin and bear it and it will all be flowers in jars soon. :)

Thanks! I can't find any info on that company but I'll keep searching...
 
Today will be another busy day. First the White Widow is getting flushed today. I usually don't flush; but the Gorilla Girl seems a little on the harsh side. The smoke is real good. Haven't been to the dispensary all week :) . I'm sure happy about that. Anyways, she'll go in the dark for 48 hours after the flush & then to the chopping block. This girl is putting out one hell of a strong odor I can't even describe. I'll post 1 more pic of her before the chop.
I have 2 Cherry on Top in 3 gal. pots that I'll be putting in my 3 x 3 & the 2 that are in 5 gal. pots will go in the 5 x 5.
Emptying the Shed / Flower Room to switch things up for summer. Getting too hot in there at the moment so need to get it done. I have a New Portable AC with Heat also to put in there. So I need to remove the Window AC & Board that up, change from HPS to LED, reroute the ventilation, add wall fans & Automation, etc. So I figure a few days to do it a couple hours a day.
I also have a job interview at 8:30 I have to squeeze in to this.
I'll get new pics up soon.
 
Alright guys, the Final White Widow Pics. She gets chopped tonight. Down to just Peyote Wi Fi & Cherry on Top after this.

Beautiful ladie my friend. Excellent work on her.
Is that white pistols I see in pics? :Namaste:
Bill
 
No, Aren't any white ones left. All Red, Orange & Brown. Maybe the Camera Flash & plant frost making it look that way. She's plenty done. 79 days in Flower.

That's what I figured. Congrats on your harvest. Fantastic lady.

The White Widow has gone to the gavels. She has been hanged ! She was convicted of getting too many people high. Just to make sure she's gone forever in a few days I'll burn her too.
Here's a few pics.
