KGB Grow

[KGBSkunky]

So I took the tops off the two plants that are ripe. I may have missed the other two the trichomes seem broken which is the unit I let run low on water. I have a lot of lower buds so I am leaving them in for an additional week so they can amber up

 

[KGBSkunky]

And of course I am drying in my temperature and humidity controlled 2x2 tent using spiral swirl technology. Holding a median humidity of 58% by using my humidifier outside my drying tent, having a small input fan boost from the top and outputting into the main tent that runs through my charcoal filter all the while my basket is spinning with the pockets unzipped so they stir the air more.

My dries generally run 14 days

 

[KGBSkunky]

Checked and the trichomes on the other two plants are ready now. Will chop it all down this weekend. All this has been an extremely interesting experiment.

All further grows will be easy with the only hard part the trimming that will be required during the grow and at harvest

Looking good brother

Looking good brother

Appreciate it. I apologize for leaving so many leaves but I was, after reading about other auto flower grows, under the impression there would not be so much to trim compared to a photo but in my case it didn’t work that way.

Next grow I am going to be spot on and am switching to a 7-7-7 fertilizer organic of course which should be my final tweak. Then it will be just popping seeds and harvesting from now on. I only have one or two grows left then I will stop for a year or two. I have been focusing on how to make it easy but I plan on winning that regional cup next year as I change my focus

I removed leaf anytime I wanted to with autos. Then add all the twisting and cavorting I did to them and I'd say they respond to stress just as well as any photo out there. I even broke a main stem during one training session. Taped it up and it never missed a beat.

Wound up topping the other two and letting them run an extra week. Also I keep talking about the size of the root system for my tent autos. Here is a size reference I placed a quarter by one of them. They are all this size or larger! Bigger roots bigger fruits

 

[KGBSkunky]

Just an FYI. The OG Kush, Pineapple Express and Jock Horror all came out looking like cannabis.

However the Mowie Wowie came out so Larfy that you can barely tell it’s cannabis. The effect is what I remembered from when we got Hawaiian in the military during the early 80’s and it has only cured a week. Best smoke so far Larfy doesn’t mean bad

 

[greenmobster440]

Larf grinds up just like the other stuff. I trim major leaf and whatever dries on the plant from there goes in jars. Shaggy buds..lol. I try to consume as much as I can off of a plant.

 

[KGBSkunky]

While I have had sour diesel from a dispensary I really didn’t get the smell. The OG Kush must have been the California strain that has a OG SFV cross because it smells like someone poured diesel fuel on it after drying.

 

[KGBSkunky]

Getting everything ready and decided to put the carbon filter and fan outside the tent. I got a cheap piece of Masonite board and cut it just over the roof of the tents size so the weight is spread across the frame better. I also put a foam pad under the fan. At 1 you can’t hear it and I rarely go above 3 which isn’t bad. I may baffle it later not sure it matters from a sound standpoint and it looks great when guests come over.

 

[greenmobster440]

Conversation piece for sure. Nice setup.

 

[KGBSkunky]

This time I am drying the buds after cutting them all from the branches and the first batch was a little dry measuring to 57-58 percent humidity an hour after being grove bagged. Excellent but I felt there has to be a better way to measure so I came up with this.

Put a handful of the buds you think are dry enough into a quart baggie and put a meter in the bag. Wait an hour and if it’s around 63 you are done. This dries for another day or maybe later tonight.

 

[KGBSkunky]

Checked it tonight and put it in the grove bag measuring 63% after sitting for an hour. Perfect and the terpene smells for both are incredible especially for a 6 day dry.

Now the grove bag will let the cannabis breathe through the grove bag as it ever so slowly slowly drops toward 58 percent over a long period of time which is what allows for an awesome cure.

I love grove bags

I will be posting pics of my current grow shortly. I should be around day 40 from putting the germinated seed in the ground. I am growing autos this time and the soil is so hot, how hot is it, my first 4 germinated seeds came up and the leaves all turned brown and crispy and they died. I germinated 4 more into the same soil but with a different procedure and they all came out but one stunted two are normal larger autos and one is a tree. But the people who remember me know I am all about an automatic grow.

My retina is currently detached so I will be posting the grow after the final laser procedure late Monday

And after this grow I am going back to feminized photos because so far I have not had to add a single nutrient to the grow and if I am correct I won’t have to.

The three plants are using 3 gallons of water per day. I fight to keep the humidity below 65%

You need some beans? I scored big when Brothers Grim was having a sale bogo. They are already cheap so you cant best 10 fem beans for 25 and I got doubles of everything. Dm if you are interested. They are all photo fems

Day 55 from germination

My detached laser event didn’t go as planned so I had a surgery. I apologize and have promised that I will show my full grow when I start my next grow around end of August if the heat doesn’t kill us all.

These pictures are of autos not photos. The Dosido stunted and I chopped it so there are three autos here from prominent breeders none were supposed to be tall. I have added zero nutrients nor will I. The grow is on full auto and the damn plants are pushing the top of my tent. Not a single health or nutrient issue. Three massive autos total.

My next grow will be recorded from seed now that I have it nailed down I just didn’t see the need if it didn’t work.

Well the need is so others can learn. I like to know what just doesn't work. Then I dont waste time or money on a grow that won’t go anywhere. I slso love the success stories. It helps us all to become better. Most times you learn more from failure than from success.

Day 56

Sorry I realized you can’t see the buds in the previous pictures just how the autos got taller than their genetics should have allowed. I should trim them again but I can’t due to my eye. But here is a better view of the top of my canopy. They have about 35 - 40 days of flower left. Again in this experiment no fertilizer has or will be added since the germinated seed was planted
