Comparative Grow: from Dutch Passion at The Vault

Well, there's been a tragedy with the first Cinderella Jack. Switching to a two by two tent from an open grow appears to be the culprit.

She was in the back because she was taller. Humidity levels were normal, but since her feeding at the beginning of the week she still had her leaves drooping as if she'd been overwatered. Odd, hadn't realized I'd given her that much and there's a lot of perlite in the soil. Also bad, she was overdue for a feeding.

Yesterday, I took her out and part of her pot was very, very wet. Put it on some towels in succession, spent a couple of hours with a small warm fan drying her out, and leaves perked up a bit. I concluded that the cool mist humidifier's water particles were settling on her and overwatering. Another large plant in the opposite corner was fine.

So I upped my airflow with a giant box fan and left it overnight. This was exactly the wrong thing to do as this morning she was drooping like mad. I took her out and just in one night, a branch that abutted the back wall and the tips of various leaves had turned brown. They smelled faintly of rot.

She's out of the tent now and drying. I removed leaves and branches that looked brown or had a hint of smell, rearranged the plants so that she's not in the way of the humidifier, and nixed the box fan. I can't do anything about any damage to the roots that occurred but we'll see. She'll get taken out every day and nursed.

The plant was 18 inches and due for a stretch. That's probably done for, but she might get to two feet of all goes well. Two feet ain't bad.

So that is my tale of woe of the poor lovely Cinderella Jack. Hark ye well, lad, love today because loss awaits us all.

It's a few hours later and, while Cinderella took the biggest hit, all the plants have soil that is too moist under the surface. They're out of the tent, in the sun and near the forced air heater to dry out a bit. The baby Big Cinderella is too moist, too.

I'm taking drastic measures, no more tent bs. Took the cover off the tent, put the frame in my bedroom, and covered the window with a heavy cover. Going back to an open grow at 400w HPS.

I'll sleep in the damned living room.

Alright, here she is at 24 hours post intervention. Color is returning to some leaves, others are getting pale and brown around the edges. I'll probably lose those. Not even ready to talk about the seedling yet - the surface was dry but a centimeter down it was waterlogged.

Various junk around the plant is a cat deterrent.

Day 90 Cinderella Jack got chopped.

Left her a week past when she would have been ready, as it was much more convenient for me to chop her yesterday. She had some bulky, dense colas with very little lower fluff, dead easy to clean up and hang.

I grew her for 12 weeks under a qb135 board in a very small seedling starter cupboard, running at (from memory) 30w at the beginning to only 65w at week 12. I put her in my main grow cabinet for the last week as it's filter is better. She was only under 85w in there so it is not like the extra week banged loads of weight on her she wouldn't have got under the qb135.

Ended up with 455g wet.

I normally work on about 20-25% of wet weight as a final dry weight, so anywhere between 90-115g as an estimate - so 1.5-2 grammes per watt and roughly 3-4 oz. She was in need of a water when I chopped her so hopefully it is nearer the 25%!!

I will let her dry for about a week, give her a couple of days in paper bags then come back with a final result.

Overall she was a very simple plant to grow, no problems as such. I would grow her again without a doubt. Hopefully the end result is as pleasing as the grow itself.

So my Cinderella Jack auto came in dry at the lower end of my estimate, but still a very respectable 92g dry. That's 3.25 oz under only 65 watts of qb board in a really small cupboard intended for starting seedlings. I am very happy with that!

I broke the larger buds down to smaller sized ones to help them dry / cure more evenly, and I left a lot of the sugar leaves on the buds. My wife doesn't care what they look like before grinding, and there were loads of trichomes on the sugar leaves - my fingers were really sticky just snipping stalks etc off and jarring up. This is one of the stickier strains I have grown for quite a while. It may be the strain, it may be the board they were under (first time of using it), but between the two of them the end result is very pleasing.

No smoke report yet, as I have a Barneys Malana Bomb and a Seedsman Auto Blue I got from @George Seeds that are two weeks further down the line and we are going to be starting those over the next week or so, but I might give Cinderella a go in about a month. If we are all in lockdown it will help pass the hours by in a pleasant way!

Everyone's grow looks great. My Passion Fruit plant is ready to flip, just waiting on the clone to root. The leaf edges are turning upwards as you can see. Too much light or wind I guess... It's the only plant doing it in my tent. I lifted the light a little and gave it more space.
