I didn't say it did!
Piece by top-heavy piece.
She’s going to need a full photo op first haha!
It’s going to be a challenge getting her out of net and removed from the tent lol!
So if the the terpines fluctuate so much from dark to light within each day cycle, why would this matter to the end product? I guess I’m just baffled to think that if light can burn them away in a few hours that they can withstand budwashing, drying and curing. My understanding of terpines is limited though.

Another good question! I’ll let someone else answer ahaha
Fluctuating terpenes is one of the reasons to harvest just before lights on. After that, holding the terpenes in is one of the reasons for Fresh Harvest Oil. Wash, drip dry, oil! If you're all about terpenes, that's the way to go.
I think that light damages most things. I know for a fact that buds left in a jar that's placed in a window or somewhere there is sunlight end up tasting worst and look different after a while. I always keep my jars in a dark and cool place and others in my family aren't so careful. My buds always retain there goodness whereas their buds end up looking drab and tasting not as good as mine.

The Lil’ Ones
What’s up everyone ! I just wanted invite you in to share some new fun news with me!
I was looking through my inventory and thinking about lighting. I had originally bought my 450W LED for the small 2x2x4 tent to veg clones and seedlings and possibly flower out an auto at some point. But since I had the “aerogarden” light in the small tent keeping the babies happy I have come to realize that I like my 4x4 tent with more lights! I think my plants do to!
Since I added the LED to the 4x4 the big girl has shown a lot of growth and positive building. The trichomes are bountiful and the colours under the LED side are by far greater than under the HPS. This will really be visible when she comes out of the tent!
Now with that being said and since it’s that time of year I figured why not treat myself to an early Christmas gift!
A second LED! The same 450W LED I ordered came on special and I couldn’t refuse the price!! Whoops!
So I ordered it and it came in 1 Day!
Awesome!
Setup was a breeze and it’s now installed and looks great! I have a much better coverage in the tent now for veg and bloom compared to the aero hood and I’m also excited about being able to keep the other LED in my big tent or play around with my lighting setup in the future!
Regardless I’m very excited and I’m sure the little gang is going to love the upgrade!
Now as for the little ones! Critical+2.0 clones got fed today and are looking great! I am going to start training them this week probably tomorrow since they are growing so quickly! I have been bending them lightly with some LST for the past week to encourage growth and stalk strength.
My Early Miss1.1 clone that I have left is growing great! She has been in the small pot since I cut her and figured it was time for a transplant. So she got tipped over and transplanted into a 1-Gallon square pot.
She then got the same feed as the criticals to settle her in to the new pot. The feed mix was: In 2L of water
-1mL calmag (Light dose 1/4 strength)
-2.5mL veg nutes (Light dose 1/4 strength)
-4mL voodoo juice (Full strength 2mL/L)
Here is EM1.1
Thanks for joining me
Stay medicated!
It's lighting up your life for sure. Happy for you Dutch, now you're all set up.

Thanks LG2! Means a lot and I am definitely excited about the upgrade! I think I’m all set now .... I think
Well for now haha! The clones all seem more perky within a few hours of adding the new LED in so hopefully it rewards me with some good growth!
Congrats on the new light! AND the transplant of that crazy-leafed thing that is EM 1.1. Looks like a schefflera!

All the smooth rounded leaves do look funny lol. But the new growth at the top is coming back in as normal serrated leaves again so now we have to wait for the bigger fans to come back and then we’re off to the races again haha
Like I said, all growth is good growth!
