Zoic's grow - Round 3

In Round 2, post 10 you suggested tents do not help control the environment or odor very well from your personal experience.
I agree. I have to monitor it many times a day and make adjustments to the opening to keep the RH below 70. With 3 plants in the tent it is not to much of a problem. When I had 5 plants jammed in the tent the RH hit 87 at one point. A closet or room is clearly much better. When I have to downsize next year to an apartment, it will be much more appreciated. The post I refer to should be in your alerts now, I just "liked" it. :mrgreen:

Nice, I can smell those from here, looking great! Should be a nice haul in 2-3 weeks :mrgreen:

Just for interest, always find it interesting how smells are interpreted from grower to grower. What smells are you getting from those?
Well I find it hard to pinpoint a specific smell. It smelled very fruity yesterday, but this AM it seems more earthy. My brain identifies with mushroom smells, but my wife thinks all the product I have grown so far smells like the Big Bud nutrient I was feeding them. If I open the nute container there is a similarity in smell to that earthy mushroom smell. I blamed the mushroom compost and with ZERO nutes this round the smell is still the same. It should be very interesting to see if she still detects that smell and taste even without the nutes.

OK, today I was watering and doing some house cleaning in the tent. When the plants rubbed on my skin I could smell very strong lemony smell from one and the other two were like one of those hard candies with a nice fruity smell.
Nice, that sounds about right. Most phenos have the fruity smells from the blueberry side. But probably 20% have the lemon from the JTR side. To me the blueberry side phenos are all about flavour/taste, nice high but functional. The lemon phenos are typically frostier and have a strong punch. Smoke one and stay inside, don't talk to no one stoned ;)

I changed the times for the lights to 9/15 on day 56. I chopped my first plant that was ready earlier than the others on Day 66. I felt it was dry enough to cut and weigh today before I put the buds into mason jars. The total weight of buds was 45 grams, and I think this was the smallest of the three. Day 72, a few more to go.

Very nice Zoic, that first pic pheno looks awesome, frosty and heavy :) Did you grab any clones off these? That first one looks like a keeper :eyesmoke:

I did. I took one cutting from each plant before I flipped them to 12/12, before I knew their gender. Three were males, but all five died, so I decided to wait until I buy a decent cloning device. I may try to reveg one since it still has most of its leaves.

A bubble lid and soil are my go to. No need for high tech...
