Good eye there oldFogey! I don’t think I would have caught that so soon.

Looking great Old Fogey! When I quadlined, I ended up running two in my 2x4 and moving one to a 2x2. They really filled my space quickly once I flipped to flower. I have been fortunate that I haven’t had to rig up any watering devices in years since I rarely travel. I’m curious if you have a...

Good Day, Thanks for all the help and support on this grow. I thought I’d wrap up this grow log. The last Zkitzz that I harvested, the tall one that grew to 56 inches after 4 weeks of veg under UV and IR lighting, ultimately produced a lot of seeds. I have no idea how this happened as I have...

Hey OldFogey, I stole your idea of using the fiber pot as a “wick” to increase moisture in a small indoor pepper garden that I am starting. I’m using three fabric quarter gallon nursery bags sitting in a tray of water and filled with coco. I have a fan blowing on them, and the humidity in my...

Good Day, Today is the last day of week 11 of flower and only one of the two plants is ready. I sampled Zkitzz #1 and I’m pleased with it, so I’m harvesting the tops off of it today. I’ll leave the middle buds exposed to light for a few more days. Sugared leaves still showing some clear...

Posted by mistake without finishing….here is Zkitzz #2. Much less developed than Zkitzz #1.

Another week of progress as I’m now on week 11 since flip. This Zkitzz strain is supposed to be a 7-8 week strain….yeah, right. Zkitzz number 1 harvest window appears open, but I’m going to give her another week. Her sugar leaves have an occasional clear trichome as do the buds. Just starting...

Off to a great start OldFogey. I look forward to your quadline training! I’ve done it twice…..it worked awesome the first time and I totally screwed it up the second time. I plan to try it again because it sure beat using stakes or nets and it provided a lot of bud. I have a link to an...

I learned a valuable lesson this week about the self-watering wicks in these AC Infinity feeders that I wanted to share for anyone considering these. I had a spare bottle of MaxiCrop Seaweed Extract WITH IRON, so I decided to add some to my reservoirs. Lo and Behold….I discovered that iron...

Well, I’m quickly losing interest in this Zkitzz strain. She seems like an average strain, but I’m not sure she’s worthy of tying up limited tent space for 4 months. I’m already excited to try my next grow….Durban Poison. That sounds like a worthwhile strain. I don’t think I’ve grown a...

Thanks OldFogey! Another fantastic point, thanks for sharing. (And thanks to GMO for his original post). I’ll pull sugar leaves and a calyx for future comparisons. Unless I’m looking for a smoke sample, that’s a much better solution than removing an entire bud. I’ll read through GMO’s...

I’m very interested in learning how to use sugar leaves to evaluate maturity, so I have been cross checking the maturity of the trichomes on sugar leaves vs the maturity shown on the actual buds. The sugar leaves alone could be misleading since they show much more amber than the buds do. But I...

I learn something here every day. That’s a great idea OldFogey! I like that idea much better. I will pull some sugar leaves off my drying harvest and see what their trichomes look like compared to the neighboring bud trichomes too. Might as well see the difference first-hand. Thank you!

I found a new toy as I was hunting for a handheld microscope replacement. I discovered a “coin microscope” with a dedicated display that appears very useful for evaluating trichomes. I have had difficulty seeing my trichomes accurately until now. I thought this would be useful when monitoring...

I attach an air vent hose to the bottom vent for intake air. A few bends in the vent hose prevents light from coming in or exiting the tent. For venting the exhaust, I use a vent hole near the top since heat rises.

Wow! I hope I don’t have the same experience Jan! I pulled a small sample and liked the effect, but I’m going to pay more attention to taste. My tastebuds don’t pick up subtle tastes. I’ll add a bottle of listerine to my garden too. Haha. Thanks….Happy New Year

Happy New Year! First action in the tent this year is to harvest the LA Peyote Kush after 9 weeks of flower. Mostly cloudy trichomes with very little amber. I needed get more airflow in the rest of the tent to prevent mildew, so removing one plant will benefit the other two Zkitzz that are...

They’re looking pretty healthy still, even the Supercropped plant! I see the finish line from here for two of the plants. I’d like to get one out of there for better airflow and humidity control and then allow the other two to amber up their trichomes more. Yes, I should have bent the colas...

Seedsman LA Peyote Kush update….guessing 1-2 weeks away from harvest for this one plant. This is the end of 8 weeks of flower. I don’t like too much amber, and the trichomes almost look ready to me. (I have to avoid the temptation to chop too early). She’s quoted as a 8-9 week flowering...

Hi Greenphene, Have you used the 69% humidity packs before? I used 69% with cigars, but I’ve always heard to use 58% or 62% for cannabis in order to avoid mold. I would hate to see all of those hard work go to waste.
