Gnome Automatics Ace's blackstrap

[Ace12]

Hi guys finally going to attempt to post a grow. Hopefully this is in the correct section if not feel free to move it mods please. Ok on to the setup. I'm starting this journal a bit late at 21 days.

Tent-vivosun 5x5
Light-Hlg 650r
Medium-coco coir. Cultivation nation by fox farms. 70/30 coco perlite. With megacrop 1 part. Either v2 or v3 got it about a month ago or so its yellowish and is the sample kilo.
Autopots-the new aquavalve5 with 5 gal fabric pots. The bigger lines seemed like a plus to me.
Cultivars-ill be focusing on the blackstrap but also am running fastbuds greenback, creme del la cosmos by nightowl, samsquanch by mephisto, star krunch by night owl, and strawberry banana(had one seed and its a runt).

Not the best picture but she had just popped first day. Germinated in paper towels for approximately a day.

In this photo the blackstrap is the back left. Today is 3 weeks exactly. She's got a beautiful structure. Only did some slight leaf tucking. I know people lst at this point any recommendations or advice would be great. I've done it this early in the past. This time my guts telling me to wait a bit.

The plant in front is the green crack by fastbuds. Thats in a 3 gal fabric pot thats filled with build a soils living soil recipe. The modified coots mix. I used bas minerals but sourced my own peat,compost,castings,and perlite/rice hulls.

The back right plant is the star krunch by night owl. Thats also in an autopot fed from the same 12 gallon res.

Thanks for checking my thread out I hope to update it at least once a week from here on out. Tomorrow ill get some close ups of my pretty pretty girl.

Thought I'd pop in to post a pic from today little better hopefully. I suck taking pictures so bare with me guys.

The structure is amazing on this girl. She's popped another node since yesterday. Up to 6 which is a bit hard to see. Also the lowest branches are almost even with the top. The secondary branch growth is top notch.

Also forgot to add I have a pulse pro monitor for temp humidity co2 par and ppfd. Really like the meter but its pricey. I got it on the black Friday deal for 500 with the pulse one. The one does the same but not par/ppfd or co2. Its been great to dial my environment in. Looking at the data the graphs supply is great. I also have miscellaneous stuff like ir meter for leaf surface temp, various hygrometer, dehumidifier/humidifier. Also am running a 4x4 with a spider farmer sf4000 with photos just flipped to flower.

Harvested a couple days ago. The blackstrap is down as is the star krunch. Unfortunately I forgot to get pictures of the star krunch. The blackstrap went 80 days. She started getting a little foxtaily towards the end as did the fans start burning up on the top from the light levels being to high. She was about a foot taller then all my other plants so I ran outta head room in my tent. I dimmed the light to find a happy balance but she was still getting to much ppfd. Some nice purple trichs too. This plant was a joy to grow. Mold resistant and just easy fed about 500ppms start to finish. I'd be very surprised if its not 4+ oz dry also if not more.

Last update...after drying and a week or so into cure bud smells amazing. Almost a fruity touch with slight gassy undertones. Looks very anvil dominant but I assume the smell and flavor is influenced by the cookies. Got almost 9 ounces total including smalls but only about an ounce is anything close to being small. Basically non existent trim just a few sugar leaves here and their. All in all probably my favorite plant ive grown thus far in my year in a half growing journey.
