i was at first to, but my last two plants i have just been cutting colas off as they get cloudy and drying at different times and curing at same time in smaller amounts just to have some thing these were the ones that went into reveg btw that i threw out doors cause i had no tent at time hence why i just cut things of but they are still growing just fine

Temps are great... small clones are great(ish) ... Seedlings have all sprouted and most have shed their hoods... 2 large clones are itching to get into the flowering tent.

On a side note, my Toxic Blue Fem seed sprouted... mostly. It's like it's stuck in the shell even thought the white tap root it bulging out. It's been a few days germing so I put it in a cup of soil. We'll see how she does

hey man more porn!

but no really nice work and this thread answered alot! of questions for me thru the first half alone, shoudl just be stickied lol

[Dr. Green Fang]

Thanks SoulSurfer.. also please take a moment to "rate" the thread. :aok:

Cheers N.E...glad you enjoyed my thread so much that you wish it were stickied

Starting with your own knowledge of the genetics is where it's at man. Not knowing and understanding your genetics....is rough to say the least.

Tuesday is the big day... wooooo! Can't wait really... no really I can't wait, I'm all out of meds!! lol

 

[N.E.wguy]

oh man tue then a week dry then a week cure :/ tue is jus tthat start of the real wait ;0

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Indeed N.E.

I'm going to try my first bud at the 5+ day mark just before they go into the jars. I'm quite excited!

 

[SoulSurfer]

Daaaah I'm jellly!! I have so far to go before i even start flowering !!haha and u got it fang

How have you picked Tues as the harvest day? Aren't you running different strains? What do the trichs look like now?

Drying will take as long as it takes. Where I live, there is no way I could hang bud for a week and not have it crispy dry. In an arid climate, bud often dries in 3-4 days. You should absolutely give it a taste as soon as it is dry, especially if you are out.

Congratulations on your first harvest. You have done an excellent job! These is nothing like growing your own.

 

[N.E.wguy]

ya i strugle with humidity here defiantly a week for me drying drives me nuts, i will throw some in the microwave around day5 if i realy need some thing and skip curing and same for curing if i need smoke i will find away. if i was u i'd have the oven on as soon as you clip a bud or make a butter or oil that does not require teh drying/curing time. i want to try the walnut oil that i seen posted on here. you shoudl have a mass of trim any way to do as you please i'm just one that when i need to smoke i dont care what it is, i dont smoke cigs sooo.

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

DGF, you could make some dry ice hash as soon as you have enough trim. It can be smoked right away.

Hah, don't be jelly! You have some on the way at least! Thanks for rating this thread as well :aok:

I picked Tuesday because: 1) Monday will make it 9 weeks. 2) I have work Monday - Wednesday - Thursday - Friday. 3) I have 2 clones that are DYING to get into flowering..they are very big and taking up too much of my small veg area!

I'm running 3 different strains.. and I'm pulling 2 of them from my Tent #1.. I'm letting Tent #2 go for 9+ weeks... I don't have anything dying to get into that tent, so I can go a bit longer with those 5x Blue OG. Tent #1 is Pineapple Chunk x3 and Blue Lemon Thai x1

Trichs are all cloudy with some amber around. I'd say 10% maybe more. Red hairs are .. different per bud. The main cola is LOTS of hairs with 20% being red and 80% white.. side colas are about 40%red 60% white. I know, don't go by the hairs

Thanks for saying I did so good on my first round. I was skeptical, but now I've grown extremely confident and way more knowledge to pass on to my future grows!! Thinking I liked Xnutrients, but want to try something like Dutch Masters line.

Humidity can be fickle around here. Somedays 40%... some days 80%... we have a heat wave on the way, so I expect all kinds of "suck" to ensue.

I'll be waiting 5+ days till they are dry then yes.. I will surely smoke some!!



Cheers to each and everyone that has stopped into the journal!! As I've mentioned before, I'm just thinking of continuing this journal with all my grows.. but I was thinking of making another one instead... mostly so I don't have to sort through pages of stuff.. but then I think "hey leave it all in one continuous journal so not to clutter"

I dunno.. I talk with myself often :confused2:


Stay frosty MP!! :aok:


EDIT:

Yeah, I need to purchase some bubble bags asap from my hydro store. They will cost about $90 after my discount.. but are quality! I'm going to be doing bubble hash though I think.. from everything I've seen, looks like that's what I want. I WOULD like to try dry ice hash sometime though. Looks so so so easy and quick!

Thanks THG, you're awesome

 

[N.E.wguy]

probably find dry ice local easy if u look i know a place up the street from me sells it and makes it right there in a suburbn town not even city area

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

I really like the taste of hash. Maybe it is just me, but it seems like the dry ice hash does not taste as "hashy" as the bubble hash made with regular ice. But like you said, the dry ice method is fast and you can smoke it right away.

I live in a tiny teeny mountain community and we have dry ice here. I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding it.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Yeah, I'm getting a great set of 5 gal bubble bags from my store, with my discount.. so I'm paying $85 for his $120 set he has. Whoop whoop!

After looking at the tent(s) tonight it was hard not taking them ALL down lol!! Just cloudy trichs everywhere over all my flowers.. and, well.. I'm just "ready" really.

Tuesday is the sure thing day.. curious, should I not let the lights go on for monday night since I'm chopping Tuesday morning? I should give them 24 or so hours of darkness ya? :confused2:

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Very curious of this question still, and if I'm to do this, then I need to make sure the lights don't come on in another 12 hours.. would love all thoughts!!

[N.E.wguy]

i want to know if they do more bud producing during light or dark if some one could shed some light on that

good morning btw

e/ i've cut all mine day light mid day

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

There is nothing that shows that putting plants in darkness before harvest is beneficial in any way. I just pull them out of the room and trim them when they are ready and when I have time.
