Yew, bro that looks great Well done!! The suagr leaf amount differs form genetic to genetic and from plant to plant, but when the weed is just for you then bag appeal doesn't really matter all that much. I know a dude that jars his buds with very very minimal trimming just cz he figures thats how he likes it. Buying indoor you expect to find a solid dense bud with big fat resin coated calyxes instead of a bunch of leafyness, but you notice now as you continue to grow that those "perfectly formed buds" are all mostly phenotype related and then your condotions and how you look after them play a smaller roll. When pheno hunting one of the key factors people hunt for is the plant that offers the least trimming work when, big chunky buds with very little leaf. Not every genetic will make "instagram worthy" buds, but even out of the gene pool that does make perfect buds there will be a phenotype that makes better looking buds than the rest. 2 big players in bud density will also be your lights and overall plant health, but if the genetic phenotype don't allow it, you can put it under the best light with the best health it'll still just make airy leafy buds.

I'd be down to clown with yous just gotta time it nicely as I got my space full and backlogged as fuuuug, but can easily make plans if I got enough time. More than happy to do a outdoor thing if it falls during the outdoor season, realised my outdoor winter veg setup sucks ass everything is on pause

High Am keen to run a grow contest over 6 months. Have loads of new grow and smoke gear as prizes to make it interesting, as well as some faya genetics to sponsor. Would anyone be keen? What are you tips and suggestions for an irie comp? Happy to give the seeds away, but entrants would need to pay for shipping.

Day 5 of dry. My cupboard has been consistently at 15-18 degrees Celsius, and 55-65 % RH The one plant on the left, which I trimmed wet properly (little to no leaves) was becoming crunchy on the outside, and bounced back when squeezed. Most but not all of the stems made a snapping sound when bent, but didn't break clean off. I did the jar test, where I put a bud in the jar and after an hour checked. The inside of the jar got moist, so it still needs to dry more. But, I felt like it was drying too fast just hanging there, due to the lack of leaves. So, into the brown paper bag it goes (thank you Romans) I made sure to leave enough stems to give airflow through all the buds. Thank you @Weskush and @West Coast Vaper for the tip on "sweating" the bud I will open the bag and shake it up gently every day or two. As for the other plant, its still very green, leafy and not dry to the touch. Needs more time. I'd appreciate any and all criticism/guidance. Not really sure when to pull the trigger with this drying process, in terms of moving the bud from one stage to the next i.e drying, sweating, then buck and cure in terploc. Probably just get a feel for it the more you do it?

Update time! They're doing great, destroyed that PM with AQ-SF Predatory things. The growth has been incredible on one specific one which I've now replanted into a bigger bag.

I feel like some of the buds I "over-trimmed"? They aren't as dense, and seem to be drying faster than the others. Probably supposed to leave on more of the sugar leaves. My next three plants when they are ready I'll try a dry trim rather. Or take off only big fan leaves. Other buds seem happier, where I left on more of the leaves because 5 hours into trimming my hands got sore and I got lazy. Have all the larf drying on a piece of cardboard beneath the others.

Harvested, wet trimmed and now drying the two biggest. Video quality is trash but here are two clips. I think my dry conditions are good. Temps and humidity seem to be in-line with what is recommended online.

Totemic used to sponsor something like this. Outdoor grow for me

Super keen!

Done replanting today. Used whatever pot I could find in garden. Pictured is the one I like the most so far.

Lookin reeeal good!!! remember to clone them before flowering them out, high probability you gona wana grow them again or at least the winner pheno!

Love how this is a low yield, let me not show my plants

ZxP harvest done and dusted. Yield was a bit low but way, way better than the beginning of the year. From 160g to 500g, more than double, but not quite the target goal of 800g. I do believe the cold played a major part. I attempted this year to skip any additional heating to save on costs and to also experiment with the possibilities. The result is roughly a 33% decrease in yield. Needless to say I think I will be adding additional heating again to the room next winter. Either will run the AC or use heating panels. Will need to do the math first. Next update will be what's going on in the other tents.

6 July Update My two Critical Auto shrubs (lol) are doing well. The buds have really fattened, and the smell is good. Very sticky. I haven't even seen any more seeds, which makes me happy. The canopy is very dense due to short and stocky nature of the plant caused by my overtraining, so I'm constantly monitoring for bud-rot. Humidity is controlled though, 39-45% RH, so no issues yet. These two little bushes are about 9 or 10 days away from their 11 weeks life cycle coming to an end. As for the other 3 younger plants which are a week or two behind, I took off 90% of the tie-downs, as to avoid the same overtraining. They have really responded well, and I've seen some explosive stretching. What I found interesting, is that one of the bud sites split into two at the top. Mutation? idk xD And just because, here is a photo of the tent in its entirety:
