Ganja Grove Update
It's now been 10 weeks since I moved the first batch of girls into the grove. Since I was away for a couple of weeks I'll begin by sharing the bad news first and let everyone know why it's a bad idea to purchase a tent with plastic corners / pole inserts.
It appears that one of the plastic pole fittings failed resulting in a couple of damaged poles, a collapsed tent, and several cuss words. The girls ended up with a few broken and split branches most of which I was able to remedy with tape. I made a temporary fix to the tent but I'll be upgrading soon.
The tent repair job was followed by start of harvest with 2 of the Girl Scout Cookies being the first to be chopped. Trichs were all cloudy so I moved them into my drying tent and they were left in the dark for 2 days before being chopped.
Ended up with 178 grams after drying and trim.
After the drying tent became available again it was now time to transplant a few of the next round of Ganja Girls into their bloom pots and get them ready to move into the Grove.
Vanilla Kush, LA Chocolat, and LSD were the 3 that were selected.
Instead of using newspaper to line my wicker baskets as I've done in the past I'll be using plastic screen this round.
For these 3 girls I've also decided to not add coco or perlite as I usually do. I did layer the bottom of the pot with a 2" layer of coco but none was added to the soil mix. I did double up on rice hulls to compensate for lack of coco and perlite.
After transplant I put them alone in my drying tent with a Mars Reflector Series LED (18/6 lighting schedule) for about 4 days then moved them into the Ganja Grove this morning.
But before moving them into the Grove I had to make some room so that they would not feel crowded.
I woke up very early this morning and chopped 1 of the Soviet Ripper's and the remaining 3 Girl Scout Cookies before the lights switched on.
After about 5 hours of trimming I'm now finally done and ready for a meal, a few bong hits, and a well deserved power nap.
Drying Tent Conditions:
65 to 68 degrees F
RH 55% to 60%
They should be finished drying and ready to transfer to jars in about 4 days or so.
Not including the 3 girls that were moved into the Grove today there are now 2 more Soviet Ripper's and 1 Amnesia left to harvest all three of which should be ready to chop within the next week or two.
That's about all for now but I'll post another update within the next day or so highlighting the shenanigans in the Veg tent.
Not to mention the bud porn!
