Yes yes sounds like a great cop for you, my last Clearwater run was lit very happy, but I wanted to try tiki for awhile so I am going get something leaning at the guava cross

Spearmint Style (will spend hours picking out husky hair).
Two different phenos. Both at F47, and the pack says harvest around 63-70.
The 2nd pheno has very small bud structure. This was the one I was thinking about killing on page 52 because it looked real weird and I didnt want it to herm. It's pretty frost, but I don't know what will become of it. We will have to see. Still lots of time to get bigger, but the top buds are a little bigger than a marble.
Grown in coco. Fed 2x a day at 5.8 ph 1300 ish EC. Humidity 40-60, temps 72-83.

Looks great!! What the terps doing? And yeah definitely a lot of time left for them to pack it on

Smells like strong fruity pebbles with a hint of lemon
Only other clearwater genetics I've grown was white hot guava. This one is way terpier. But both times I've grown their stuff during veg I was a bit skeptical that the plants would turn out well, because the genetics seemed all over the place. This time there was one that had the super weird bud structure, one of the plants I had to kill because it just stopped growing no matter what I did, the other 3 seemed like they stopped growing altogether from week 4-5 of veg but then picked up. With white hot guava I had a similar experience where a few plants were crazy for cal-mag and stalled with their growth. Both eventually have turned out to be great. The white hot guava was very good too.

When you say they're calmag hogs, are they needed more than usual amount of calmag? I use r/o water and sometimes half r/o half left out tap and most the time my plants seem happy with 5mls of calmag per gal/water. Those spearmint style look great man.
Feel you on the dog, I have a cocker spaniel, she never even been near my grow or down stairs in my basement but hairs still find away in grow room. Hear huskys are a nightmare with shedding. I try and alway have a clean change of clothes for when I go onto the growroom, it definitely helps.

In calmag I had a few plants that would show cal deficiencies unless I was feeding 1.75ml per gallon.
I have two huskies and my grow tents are in my bedroom. I try to keep hair out and take counter measures but it only helps some. I

O ya your fucked then if you have it in your bedroom. Lol. Not much you can do, I got my grow in the basement so not bad at all, still strange on hair can find it way down there. Having some dogs hairs you have to pick out isn't a big deal-the love and friendship you get from your dog is worth it, they're family. I got my guys sleeping in my bed with my wife and I right now/every night. Little shits take up all the room!

I am just getting into the jars, my tent got to hot twards the end and they lost a lot of terps. They all seem to have that grassy taste/smell now. The Creamsizzle and the Creamsicle S1s had the best smell in Flower. One of the Creamsicle S1s had a Purple punch smell, reminded me of the terps I had from Paki Kush cross I had B4. I chose to reveg the Cream Sizzle. It had the most frost and terps early. Ill try not to melt the terps this time. I will be running some more of these seeds for sure. I did not unlock their full potential.

You can't really melt or lose the terps to much because of heat. I've had my timer screw up and light didn't kick off week or so before chop so I had almost 5k in hid watts running for 4 hrs without my minisplit ac on(of course the mini split kicked off when it was supposed too). Talking about some fucking heat when I opened the door to flower room- Plants were fine though.

You can definitely piss a plant off with too much heat and nerf the terps

I saw grass smell usually that's from jarring it up to early. Just a personal observation.

Maybe a combination of things I need to work on, but The genetics are there. I just need to dail it in.

Of everything I have learned, getting the stuff to dry properly was probably the hardest one to get right. You only get another chance so often. I was definitely a victim of myself wanting to get this trim done and into some jars at the beginning, a problem I'm sure many have faced.

Ya I know what you're saying, having environment is the most important part of growing. Genetics can only get you so far especially when dealing with high heat for prolonged times. Obviously a timer messing up one time is different than continuously dealing with high heat- which in that case you're right it would affect flower terps, trich production etc. Best thing you can do for growing is invest in a/c. Best thing I did for my grow was installing a mini split. My flower quality went up huge. I believe the way to do it for guys flowering in tents is to get a slightly oversized tent and throw portable a/c in them.

I wouldn't put one in the tent. Hindsight being what it is, I wouldn't use one at all. Minisplit or bust.
I had a garage with 4200w of lights in multiple tents a decade ago. Big portable ac in the corner. Had to cut holes in the side of the garage to use it. Found out the hard way there's no way to stop bugs from entering your space without negatively impacting the function of the ac.

Ya I mean I'm with the mini split or bust camp as well...some people just can't swing it though, the portables they make are a bit better these day, I've done runs with one in a 10x10 tent and it was fine, it had a make shift filter to keep anything from getting in thru the hose. Also have run a passive air system with a/c cranking on outside of the tent- it could be minisplit or window shaker. I feel you though, I personally wouldn't grow w/o a minisolit now...mini split and sealed room all the way!

For sure...I was talking about once and a while> timers fucking up and shit getting hot for a bit..like a couple hours...
prolonged heat with indoor grows is horrible...prolonged high heat can toast your plants pretty quickly. Plants can handle in the short term of a few hours. I'll always remeber the day when my timer malfunctioned and lights didn't kick off, when I opened that door it was knock you down heat, felt like a massive oven. My thermostats shit the bed and my co2 meter temp's last reading was 120°F and climbing. After that I went back to mechanical timers.
