Thanks for the update and we are so excited to see how your first grow turns out! We're glad you've enjoyed the journey and we all have certainly learned a lot. Can't wait to see how your recipe adjustments do in your next grow. I think you're onto something great!

Overall yield of about 9oz. Good first grow and now it’s just curing. This will be the last post on this grow and will start up another soon. 8666D3C9-BE91-4981-84A7-51E0BF7EA6C1.jpeg

I had the opportunity to try this final product I believe it was he ACKbar and wow! the bud was super huge and dense, smelled and tasted fantastic. super smooth smoke, made me hungry and sleepy. I dont smoke much anymore but this was a perfect evening hit for me!

Day 64. The plant still appears to be recovering from the aggressive pruning and the new growth appears healthy to me. I've also continued removing some of the diseased leaves that still remained.

@pg13 How are Tom's tomatoes looking (and tasting) lately?!

@stina_carroll Let's see some more of these beauties! How is the BLOOM doing holding the low temp with increasing external temperatures?

Oh Damn!

@Joshuavn mine started looking a little sad when I accidentally broke a main branch. She bounced back though and still produced all of those peppers. I have high hopes for yours too

This is something special, well done and thank you bloom beta!

@JK Thank you for sharing this technique! You should be able to keep this plant growing in the BLOOM for quite some time!

@joshuavn Looking great so far!

@Saku I'd say yes to reducing the light power a little bit, maybe 80% and see if that helps. How long do you have your lights on for?

Loving the teamwork from our BLOOM Community!

@magnolia There's a lotta tomatoes! I would recommend pruning out about half of those leaves, or you will start getting into some high humidity issues as all those leaves start respirating some water. If you need some help picking leaves, let me know! Espeically allthe leaf matter in the middle is not doing the plant a lot of good. Good luck!

Flap Jacks is all done!

The total dry weight of bud is 8.39 oz which is just over half a lb (we gave out a few buds before the official weight) so it was probably at 9 oz.

The interesting part is the amount of trim there was, 110 g which is a lot for one plant. The amount of leaves covered in trichomes was amazing, even not on the bud sites.

The plant structure grew many small buds opposed to large colas which is most likely why the weight is low but I am still pleased.

It dried out well in the bloom but next time I think ill cut the plant into a few pieces instead of keeping it as one. The end of the branches dried out quicker then the interior parts closer to the main stalk.

It has been jar curing for about two weeks and it's ready!

The smell and taste is like a sweet fruity Kellogg's cereal.

When opening a jar the whole house smells, its strong.

The high is very strong, I don't smoke as much anymore and I can barley take it. My daily smoker friends say its some of the "dopest dope they ever smoked" which says something for its quality

here are some photos of the final product

Those are 4 gallon-sized jars, about 60 grams in each!

Those look outstanding!

@shippie wow what a beautiful little plant. I love those buds

Congrats @growguy! Glad to see that your first grow was a success!

Hey ! Bloom can sure generate some plant mass. Here's what I'd do re pruning.

top off the top six inches of plant. Everything but the flowers, and keep it pruned to that level.

prune about 50% of the plant mass cluttering up the middle. Mostly, take out leaves and suckers that are all tied up in knot in there. It will feel strange, but your plant doesn't need all those leaves and it won't hurt a thing to remove them.

trim the bottom third back to just the stems or main branches.

Right now, all that plant mass is acting like a giant wick and moving i bet a gallon a day of moisture out of your reservoir. Everything will be happy with less plant mass in there. Keep the fruit, but prune back the bigger leaves and suckers. If you don't know what I mean by suckers, I can post something on that as well. Right now the main job is turning those flowers into tomatoes and getting them ripe!

@Gr0w3r That nug is huge!! Amazing, and a great harvest overall, nice grow!!
