Good morning OFs. Going to be cold again. I'm on the 30 day countdown on my first harvest. I'm already planning what I'm going to do differently on growing #4. I need to go through the logs, enter the grow characteristics on the computer.
I tried every plant manipulation in the book to control the canopy. Most work easily, fimming never worked so I fimmed my fim. Thinning leaves worked for indica hybrids, sativa hybrids were sparse enough that weaving leaves worked better. In the seed descriptions, the descriptions led me to expect one base type to be the opposite of what it was. The Raspberry cough came out like a sativa. Pheno, or typical sales BS? I have more seeds so I'll try it again later.
I'm trying to decide what to sprout next. Zkittlez, Blue Dream, White Widow, Wonder Woman, two med cbds, and others that I don't recall without looking. I found a site that shows grow journals of contributors grows. Seeing how the plants look under different set ups and nutes is a learning experience. A bunch are first time growers. Seeing how choices made on limited budgets and the effects on harvest and the screw ups that kill the crop are making me reexamine my choices. I ended up switching to bio buckets, seems to be out of style. I combined power sprayers with a waterfall, with bubbles to oxygenate everything. I have the root balls that people show off on pictures, so that worked. I really like the simplicity of having a tank float control the main reservoir levels. The daily top offs were a pain.
I'm going on too long. Smoke one for me.
