ahere are the ladies today -- and the clones I am ignoring.

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

Woo-hoo. Your babies are coming right along. Before you know it you will be smoking your own.

I'm also think that your cuz may have clipped those a little early. I also like to remove every bit of leaf material I can as I believe that it smokes harsh. Also AK 47 has the rep of being quite a stinker--if you have no smell, I would say that maybe something wasn't done right. I'm positive that you can improve things!

 

[Roddy]

Yeah, it'll be great if you can go back to cuz with some stinky stuff

 

[getnasty]

If my cousin gave me a jar with those contents, I'd be humping his or her leg, family or not. LOL Now I wish we were related.

I believe that is what I will do THG -- I'll just grow it out like it is suposed to be and then send them a sample. They will know they did something wrong -- because they did do something wrong -- it may be that 12/1 light cycle they are playing with -- or (what I think) they clipped it tp early. I can't blame them too much though -- they are pretty broke and needed to pay bills. I'm pretty sure I can improve things -- they are growing at an amazing rate on 12/12 light.

My mother's twin sister's kid. My sweet, sweet cuz -- she is a treat, but no kisses -- some nice hugs though

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

Hemper, I did not mean the cuz remark for you.

I was talking to nasty...."If my cousin gave me a jar with those contents, I'd be humping his or her leg, family or not. LOL Now I wish we were related. nasty"

 

[HemperFi]

I know that Goddess -- I might kiss you -- don't see me humpin any legs though lol.

 

[HemperFi]

It just occured to me that I may never have to buy weed again. What a wonderful feeling.

KillerT, this leads right into why I came in here tonight. I didn't realize there would be so many posts -- ain't it cool? -- What I was going to do is give a report on my cousins AK=-47 -- and basically here it is: i think the high is wonderful. It's a cerebrial, relaxing, introspective high -- nice -- the problem is the taste and smell. I believe they harvested it early, and then didn't cure it right.It doesn't have the stink I so desire, and the buds seem a little loose. I will tell them what I think -- it's the way I roll -- and I will grow their weed better than they do.

Nice smoke report Hemp! Yeah you can't rush the drying and curing process, I read DJ Shorts grow book and I love his drying technique. I don't give water for 2 days before I harvest so the buds are not so wet. 24hrs of darkness, i've heard brings out some extra resin, not sure if its true but I do it. I chop and hang them up in a dark room with a light breeze. When the buds appear dry on the out side I put them in paper bags to bring out the moisture in the stems. I hang up back up again until the stems snap off not just bend over. I then do another light trim for my connoisseur taste and then jar them for 2 weeks periodically opening the jars to let out moisture build up. I take my time and make sure I don't get mold due to excessive moisture. I should start checking my temps and humidity levels when i'm drying but I always forget to do it. Ask around and i'm sure someone knows. The girls look great keep it up.

 

[HemperFi]

WOW Puffin, really sorry to hear that -- reminds me to go have a close look at my plants.

 

[HemperFi]

Thank You Killer -- I plan to do just that ;-)

peace bro

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

I know that Goddess -- I might kiss you -- don't see me humpin any legs though lol.

Thank god! I do want us to be friends after all. Not even my dogs get to do that (the humping I mean, I love the kisses).

We are in a transition stage. After going through the sex, clone and flip stages, I find myself sitting here and watching them grow. Once in a while I turn a knob a little and then realize they don't need me right now.

I picked up the seeling in the 5" peat pot and saw roots coming threw the bottom, so I transplanted it into a 3 gal pot, raised the light a little and put it back under 450w of MH in the vedging area. I cut the peat pot up considerably. I need to get some more of them to put the clones in when they have roots. I'll put them on a box. There should be plenty of room for them. They haven't changed a bit in four days, which I take for a good sign. *fingers crossed*
Here is a pic of the transplant. Homie don't get no stretch. The top temp is right there and the bottom is in the tent.

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

idk. my personaly prefrences goes against almost everything in that post. you want to water right up to harvest, the 24 hours of darkness really does nothing. the paper bag just destroys trichs, use a jar to bring back out the mosture. a light breeze is going to cause buds to dry too fast. if you dry to the stems snap, especially in the middle of the buds, you over dried. they should almost snapp, have a whitish color, but still slightly bendable, this will create a better cure, and taste. then when out of the jar the stems will snap. this is all my opinion though, everyone seems to have thier own way, i think this one is all about personal prefrence.

I'm pretty much with Puffin on drying and curing. I pretty much do as he has explained, for the reasons that he has explained.

 

[Roddy]

:yeahthat: A slower cure means a better taste. Remember the cure ends at a certain humidity (I'm thinking 55%, but am stoned), and cannot be restarted once under that magic number. Cures of months to years can be done if done right, I've still got some LSD and OG from 5-6 months back.

Mine usually hang only a few to 5 days, not sure how mine dry so fast.....can't complain though LMAO

 

[HemperFi]

Okay then, I will hang them for a day or two or three and then depending on how dry they are, I'll put them in jars for 24 hours and then lay them out again for a day -- then back in the jars -- then burp daily for a while -- a couple of weeks should take care of a good basic cure -- how's that?

 

[HemperFi]

Isn't it the most fun to open the tent after 12 hours and see your ladies again? Do you want to see? And look how perky the little one I transplanted last night got over night (I put it on 50% 300w). The clones are lookning just as they did when I put them in the dome 6 days ago. I burp and spray them in the morning, burp them again at night and ignore them the rest of the time -- seems to be working. When should I look for roots?

 

[getnasty]

Start looking for roots soon if they've been in there for 6 days. I've heard of people getting roots as early as 5 days, but that's not frequent. I'd say to check them every day this week, you should be getting close.

Also, THG: Lol
