Still have to take a few “finished” bud pics but here are some stats and general notes that wrap up this grow…
Reminders, grow was in a 2x3 tent using a HLG 135 on one side and SF-1000 on the other half.
Plants were both in Coco, one had about 30% perlite, the other was straight coco. I didn’t see any real different in the roots between the two. I’ll likely add to both bags for the next grow just because i have it on hand and it certainly can’t hurt.
Both were on AN Sense Coco Grow nutes during veg, and started on AN Sensi Coco Bloom (+ Big bud) before switching to Jack’s later in flower. I’ll likely run Jack’s going forward, but may use up what I have left of the Sensi Grow for the next grow’s veg stage. It was nice not having to consider PH and I didn’t notice any deficiencies in either plant during the veg period(s).
Both were grown in Autopots from a shared res once roots were established in their 3 gallon bags.
Plant 1 - Gelato Autoflower Notes:
Dry yield - 2.65oz compared to 2.2oz last grow (which was in soil / no Autopots)
Plant was FIM’d
Veg weeks = 6.9, flower weeks = 8
This plant grew a bit better than the last of the same strain which I’ll attribute to coco / the Autopots and I’d like to hope a bit of skill improvement.
Plant 2 - Sick’O’Berry (regular seeds) Notes:
Dry yield - 5.8oz
Plant was topped
Veg weeks = 7.9, flower weeks 13 (with some upper bud sites ready / harvested about 2 weeks prior.
This was a really interesting plant for me as the bud sites were not stacked cola’s but many smaller / dense buds spread throughout. Sativa traits, it also wanted to grow very tall and had to be bent over several times to stay away from the lights.
The purples are amazing. Very potent high and fruit / berry notes coming through in the early samples. Can’t wait for this one to cure.
Also worth noting that these were VERY dense buds and very wet in the center. It was a balancing act to get them properly dried and the Grove bags were left partially open to let them sweat it out without over drying the outsides.
Still collecting kief from the trimmings and larf buds (there weren’t many) which will become a temple ball, I’ll report back with pics and weight of that when ready but there was a lot of kief from the SOB for sure…
