ZxP harvested today at day 63.

Some of the best long leaf I've seen in a while, good job

Peanut Butter Breath x Green Crack Thank you sir, I don't always improve from grow to grow, but I feel like I got the spacing a bit better this time. I have to be more aggressive with defol before flip, but I always find it difficult. You're way too kind man. I don't usually shine a light on the negative points/things that happen, but I appreciate your comments. Yep, I'm quite interested in hybrid methods. Most everything I do is borrowed from somewhere else, with the idea of starting with organic soil and myco for an easy start, and then gradually introducing salts around late veg making for a simplified process. I don't go too hard on the salts, since where I grow I'm not able to control all the other environmental parameters to their optimum anyway. I actually have only recently started to follow the Coco-coir protocol of watering to excess and then removing that (with a big syringe). So in reality I've prob always been suffering from some degree of salt build up. So tbh my watering technique was dogS, I would let the roots soak up the excess in the tray. But I'd also occasionally feed straight water, so perhaps that helped to alleviate problems. However I've bought FF Coco-coir (90-10 because of the air-pots)(and cheaper than green bag) and earth worm castings (borrowed from "Scotty" from that YouTube grow show, although he adds some other stuff as well) for a hybrid Coco substrate thing. I'll also be making a bunch of CO2 bottles using sugar and yeast. Also switching to EHG nutes due to lower cost, and watering to excess at least once a day. Hoping to progress to the next level and stop making the same mistakes over and over. I decided to make the switch after watching Migro's Coco vs organic & non-CO2 vs CO2 comparison grows. (CO2 adds 30% growth rate at all par levels) Since I pH test every time anyway, that was another reason to switch to Coco. (with dropper solution, really quick to do and could never get the hang of the cheap pen I bought with all the different calibration solutions etc.), I'll be aiming for 6.0ish. Hard at work bringing my own 100% original, shape-transforming light design to market, so still keeping the grow protocol simple yet upgrading is super helpful.

Harvested the Zombie Bride on day 60 of flip. Came out alright, lots of terps. Not much of a yielder but it will impress the people. ZxP still pushing through. Day 43 since flip. Defoliated the Radical Juice tent. Looking nice and neat now, very full tent. I think this is the biggest I would want to go in a tent like this. I had to do some super cropping on three overeager 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.
