And It Begins

Day 81 aero tent. I pulled 1 of the Gelatos as it was way under the canopy and I just couldn't care for it or get light to it. I'll be lucky if it yields 14g, it was nothing to write home about anyway. The other Gelato is still spitting out white pistils. It may come down this upcoming Sunday depending on how I feel. The Zkittlez is looking closer to done. Over the past 10 days it's really shown some issues with CalMag deficiency, but this late in to the grow I wasn't gonna sweat it. Things are toppling over in this tent, and I'm ready for it to be done.

I've learned what I needed to learn, remember, this was my first ever cannabis hydro grow, my first ever cannabis LED grow, my first ever feminized seeds grow, and my first ever auto grow. If I yield a pound, I'll consider it a success.

Day 69 soil tent. Fall colors and dense buds. A much more manageable tent in terms of plant size and structure. They're close, but may give them a little longer than I anticipated. They'll either come down on Sunday, or possibly the following Sunday. Either way, harvest is near .

First 7 pictures aero tent (Gelato, mostly white pistils, and Zkittlez, mostly orange pistils). Last 3 pictures soil tent (Wedding Cake).

Soil tent day 72. Wedding Cake.

Soil tent getting more and more photogenic by the day. Day 73.

Aero tent chopping begins tonight.

Gelato is down. Took off the fan leaves and hung to dry. Looking like 10-12 ounces from this one alone, not including the popcorn nugs that'll be used for edibles and tincture.

Long day of trimming. Did a rough trim on the Zkittlez, and finished up trimming the Gelato. Wet weight 11lbs combined plus 9 ounces of popcorn buds.
After that, I moved on to cleaning all my gear and setting up my new tent in preparation for the next grow.
I think I'll pop 2 more auto wedding cake seeds tomorrow and run them in the 2x2 in soil. I like the way they are running in there now, and I won't need the light that is powering that tent for a while (it'll be used to light the 3x3 mom/clone tent in the future).
Soil tent is finishing up right now, probably 10-14 days remaining. The girls in there have taken up the most beautiful fall colors and are smelling and looking real nice. Hoping for 5-8oz between the 2 of em.

Soil tent day 75. Real nice colors. Should be done in another week or so. Plain water, no nutrients over the past several waterings (battling super high EC in runoff, straight water seems to have corrected the issue).

Dropped 2 more Wedding Cake auto seeds in rapid rooters to replace these 2 when they come down. I like the way they've grown in the small tent, and won't be needing this light for a while (until I have mom's of my Fam95 ready), so I figured I'd put the light and space to use in the meantime.

Nice colors there brother.

Geez, I forgot how long trimming takes. It's gonna be a long week, with few updates from me. Stay tuned. I'll be real close to 2lbs from 2 plants in the aero garden. Considering pulling an all nighter tonight to make a dent in what needs to be done.
Also, coming down after I finish this bunch of trimming is the 2 Wedding Cakes in the soil tent. And because I timed everything, the next grow will begin right after those are pulled.

Trim, trim, trimming away....

Those bags look the same as the ones I just bought. Excellent.

gmo · Jul 15, 2021

@leafminer which bags?

gmo · Jul 15, 2021

Gelato dried and in jars. This was the smaller of the 2 plants in the aero tent. 275 grams.

Working on trimming the Zkittlez now, looking like it'll be in the 400 gram range.

gmo · Jul 16, 2021

Teaser of the Zkittlez trimmed and going in to jars. I've trimmed just over 4 ounces of it so far. It is fire. At least another half pound or more to trim. Expecting 375-425 grams. Final weight when I get finished trimming.
