Small Closet Grow Log

Well, baby got its last feeding today (Earth juice bloom + Cha ching). Now for 1.5 - 2 weeks of flushing.

For the final 3 or so days, I'm going to "shock ripen" it. During the shock period, you give it 24 hours darkness and use cold water when watering. According to HT's, it's suppose to increase resins, aroma, and taste in the plant.

The smell is intoxicating

that looks great

grats!

Im interested to see your results with shock ripening. I also read that tiny little section in HT about that. Im going to try it myself so be sure to post your results!!

Dont forget to pass it this way...

Your plants are looking great.:thumbsup: I tried out stress ripening on my last grow, but I did it slightly differently. I watered with cold water from the fridge for 3 days, then did 3 days darkness with no water. I harvested 1 bud before stressing and the rest after. The later buds had a better hit, taste and aroma.

Appreciate the feedback guys - phatjay, for the 1st 3 days of shock ripening, you fed cold water everyday? I like the idea of 3 days with water, and 3 w/o (to let the soil dry out).

Realized it's time to start a few macros... enjoy :stoned:

Does anyone have experience with dropping night temps in order to have the plant change color (as in purple/blue)??

I got my A/C unit in my living room that I'm going to be chilling the air at night to hopefully induce a color change. I bet this technique would work with a strain that comes from blueberry....

Any insight would be great!

When I lived up north I would crack the window in the grow room at night when they were almost done. Would get high 40s in there at night! As long as you are far enough along and dont let it get ridiculously cold you should be ok. From what ive read 50-55f at night will do the job.

The cold definitely brought the purple out of some dank bagseed that wasnt purple when I got it.

I planned it so that the last 3 days of light, I fed cold water and then no water for 3 days in complete darkness.

Welcome all

She got her 2nd flushing today, one more to go in about 3-4 days. Then it's time to let her dry out for the chopping (a week away!).

A few branches were damaged/bent after accidentally dropping a frisbee golf disc on her. I had to use fishing line to secure about 3-4 branches, otherwise they droop into the side lighting. woops! :stoned:

The density of almost all of the buds is impressive. The smell gets fruitier every day. :stoned:

Ps.
As an FYI, in pic 2, the lighting makes the middle colas/leaves look yellow, which isn't the case. They are still evenly green.
It's a pretty poor macro-job, for pic 4, I'll make up for it next week.

Hello people

She got cut last night halfway through her night cycle. Now she's up and hanging until the stems are dry enough that they snap.

I didn't get a chance to do shock ripening - was busy with work/school and wasn't home much. She's looking good though.

Macros to come for when she is dried - and yes, a final weight will be recorded.
