TLO Scrog, 600w MH + 150w HPS, 6 plant indoor attic grow

Funny too the other plant looks pretty now and has lots of resin, and stinks. Really stinks! I mean really really stinks! Smells just like body odor. Never smelled a plant like it. I don't know what strain it is. I think ill call it "skunk pits", lol fitting name.

Wow gorgeous plants and delicious looking flowers. The effect of your training?SCROG is really impressive. This is more or less my goal with my grows in the future. I may be hitting you up for advice!:smokin:

Thanks, feel free. I will be making adjustments in the next run. Follow along. Will be scrogging again, with some tweaks I learned along the way. Taking clones now will begin new log in 2 weeks.

While I'm internetting today...

Here's the buds I have now curing in my box.

A better picture. The amount of resin is insane. The average bud size is popcorn. The tops are not more than a couple grams. This is because of my over crowded scrog.

Organic herb is the best tasting, stickiest, stinkiest, best burning herb out there I think.
I barely cough off my bong.

:) legal finally!

I wanted to post this somewhere in my thread a dude named LBH put it together. Sums up scrogging and is a good how to, with pictures. He says not to use chicken wire lol and he's right. Didn't find this till after the first scrog was up and running.

Hope this helps clarify stuff for anyone wondering. I am happy to help also, although I am a student, not a master.

Super lemon Haze

Sweet, I have an avatar, lol, I'm legit!

Update: Day 82

Still going. SLH shoulda already finished in 9-10 wks. I'm almost at 12. The other plant is really exploding. All clear tricomes on that one still. SLH may be able to come down tonite.
Due to my attic cleaning session the other night I feel the need to Wash my buds.
I have never done this but I've read a lot about it. A certain master cannabis gardener swears by it. It seems crazy to put a perfectly good bud in water. In my ultra low humidity region of the world, slower drying would be nice. But that's not the reason to do it, the wash buckets will have a lot of dirt on the bottom I think. Although my room is pretty well sealed, the attic got super dusty with soil mixing and cleaning the other nite. So why not wash off the dirt and dust? We know trichomes aren't water soluble. I'm gonna try it unless someone has a really good reason not to. I don't have any worry about bud rot due to the RH in my house.

Here's the recipe:
Keep the plant in branches, not buds and trim as u normally would.
Get 3 5 gal buckets set up.
The first bucket is room temp h2o and 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup lemon juice.
The second is hot water
The 3rd is cold water.
Dip branch in first bucket, agitate lightly, cycle through remaining buckets and hang to drip dry for a day. Continue drying as u normally do.

If I do do this ill take pics and post a full report, leaving some buds unwashed for comparison.

U wash your organic produce before u eat it don't you?

The more I see the less I know, first washing roots, now the tops

I was expecting a lot of people to think that was a dumb and crazy idea. I'm still going to try it. I will log results. If it doesn't work then I'll know

Hope I caught you before you did dat.
The baking soda makes no sense.
Hot water melts the capitate glands wax cuticle and cold water will make the trichs brittle.
You will lose potency.
I'll post this fast, then explain.

Nothin' crazy about it.
There's bug poop, powdery mildew, mold spores, pet hair, dead skin cells, dust mites, all kinds of pollen, (ragweed, pine, etc.)

I have washed my buds for years.
However, the best method I have found is tepid water. 60 - 70 F. is ideal.
Add about a half pint of 3% H2o2, (Hydrogen Peroxide)
That kills and helps wash away the PM. (There's always some buried deep in the buds)
I used my eyeclops to take 100X pictures before and after the rinse.

I worked for that resin.
Not about to risk losing any.

With room temp. water, you can thrash the shit out of it and lose nary a cap.
But, use cold water?
Hope you have bubble bags standing by.
You just made some hash. :)

And wax caps start to melt at ~95 F.

Now, please explain to me the whole fizzy thingee.

Why on earth would you do the NaHCO₃ and lemon juice thing.
NaHCO₃ + Citric acid = NaHCO + CO₂ and (a gummy mess)

The actual, for anyone following along in the text book, is:
H₃C₆H₅O₇(aq) + 3 NaHCO₃(s) → 3 CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(l) + Na₃C₆H₅O₇(aq)
But whose counting? :D

Just does not make sense to me.
What am I missing, Cap?

Aloha,
Weezard

Haven't done a thing yet... Back in a bit... Thx

So I did take down the SLH tonite
Attachment 296602
And then I ground it up and put it in my washing machine. jk.

Weezard I will post the logic (or lack there of) on the thread on bud washing I started.

Tonite I trimmed as I usually would
Attachment 296603

I decided to try weezards advice on washing for a small sample of the plant, maybe 10%.
I forgot to grab lemon juice and baking soda from the store tonight. Wouldn't want to wash after they had begun to dry I don't think. I will try the lemon juice/ baking soda wash in the near future on another sample.

I washed a pretty small sample, did not visually see any "shit" in the water. PPM on the wash before putting the buds in was 72. After washing the small sample the PPM was 89. Something came off the buds into the water, not much. I am real curious to see if the washed bud smokes/tastes any different. Cool test. Backed off a little with the small sample test :).

Very interesting, watching from cover

:)
Well this morning the washed buds look fine, I probably should have washed them all. Drying now the same as any other weed. The answer will be in the smoke for me.

I enjoy testing crazy ideas that sound good. The dude who came up with this is a pretty damn good grower, Doc Bud. Granted he is way into foliar feeding, all the way through flower pretty much. I can see where the idea began, if I was spraying bat shit, worm shit, fishy shit on or near my buds, I would want that washed off before I smoked it.

Now I just have one lady left. It's finishing slowly but surely. I killed the HPS and will finish it under the MH only. One week I guess.
Buds are really looking cool. Loads of resin. It's very interesting to me how the plants react to the MH vs. the HPS during flower. The buds that were directly under the MH have much more resin production. U can see difference with the naked eye, it's cool.

I will post some pics tonite, they should come out good with only MH lighting in there now.

Super lemon haze is drying and smelling pretty good. I washed the weed in 2 different ways and left some unwashed as a control. See how that whole bud washing thing really works I figure.

The remaining plant. Again, I'm u unsure of the strain here looks and flowers like a sativa dom. And smells like an armpit.
