Howdy SnowWhite Fans!!!!

It has been 115 days since I flipped the lights to 12/12, 136 days from the last harvest. Well, it's been a very looooooonnngggg grow, but it will be worth it I can assure you all. :farm:

at lights on, 0600 est today, I took 23 beautiful colas from SnowWhite, filling a 5 gallon bucket to overflowing. :hubba:

I took a picture before I began this 1st phase of the Harvest, a picture after the chop, a picture of the full bucket, a picture of the 23 colas hanging in my office and a close up of that bud we followed from the beginning to show resin production. I hope you all enjoy!!! :watchplant:

BTW, dont forget to come back next tuesday[17th] for the 2nd phase of the Harvest. there is quite alot more to be done before I flip the light back to 24/0. I'd guess about 2x as much as I already harvested is left for next phase on the 17th and I'll finally do a clean up of the mess for all you who have suffered mercilessly for all these many weeks. :rofl:

Time to :bong1: :bong1: :bong1:

It's been a few hours since harvest and I thought I'd guess-timate a yield. these 23 colas weight in at just 31 ounces wet. subtracting the typical 80 percent water weight that leaves just about 6 ounces to stash. then there is another phase of the harvest and it looks to me there is twice as much as I have here. IF that turns out to be true and there is no harvest shrinkage, I am likely to break the #1 dry mark on this grow :woohoo:

this is soooooo much fun I can hardly stand it

BTW, you can see how there are no fan leaves to manicure, those colas are just as they came off the plant, almost nothing to trim at all.:hubba:

 

[That crazy vancouver guy]

right on, Puff!

:woohoo: :48:

my last bonzai'd ULT mother plant ended up being like that... pretty much just colahs of bud left on the stalk... squat to trim

that's a super nice plant you are playing with, puffin... she's a beaut, fer sure !

how do u think the smoke is gunna turn out this time?... are you noticing it gets better with each grow you redo?... is your technique improving?

The cola fans all died off with the great nute disaster of April Fools Day.

However, it makes for an effortless manicure. In the pics you can probably still see some of the dead fans clinging to the colas. :hubba:

I sampled a bud, pictured on a previous page, at day 105 and it is excellent, notwithstanding the lack of cure. I think it is entirely possible that my technique and understanding of the particular requirements of my SnowWhite are responsible for the increase in potency and resin production. every grow I tweak conditions.
Currently, for this grow, I use 1500ppm of co2, 400w of hps and added 26 watts of UVB toward the end of flower cycle a few weeks back. I always use GH flora series nutes and keep the tds down around 800[ec=1.6] I may try to use more nitrogen and phosphorus this next grow to keep the fans around and healthy. I am convinced it will help with yield and potency. :farm:

Well, it's official, I have a drying crop of colas. I can hardly help from smoochin em all :rofl:

I went to town to get the mail, when I came back I could smell the colas drying all the way in the living room.
The OldLady is at her sisters for the morning but I still had to get this smell down to a less noticible level quickly. I have a bionaire air filter, huge thing, takes the smell out in about 5 minutes, kinda loud to have on all the time, but to clear the whole downstairs of this smell it is a necessary pain.

I 'll run a little SABA air filter in the office after and it'll keep the smell relegated to just me, the Labs and the office.

The OldLady will know I'm drying something in here, every time the Labs and /or I go out of the office, but it wont be stinking up the whole house. I make a big deal out of the secrecy involved with my stash, so it wont alert the OldLady to anything other than a new bag drying to be smoked. The level of the odor is something else, begging the question of the limit to theOldlady's knowledge, however, we just dont ask and dont tell alot around these parts, eh?
Do I have a great OldLady or what???:angrywife:

Thanks Pothead!!!!

My SnowWhite is typical Haze. Grows huge and takes 16-17 weeks of flower. Even though I messed up very badly with the nutes in the now imfamous April Fools day nute disaster, She still produced a very nice yield. [and I know I say this every time, but so far it's been true] I will do better next time

I know I can do better, SnowWhite deserves it too. :farm:

As to being a keepHer??? think I need to take a poll,eh

 

[Growdude]

I love that nugget picture, looks coated in jewels!

But 16-17 weeks flowering?, I couldnt do it.
I could almost do 2 complete grows in that time and a couple weeks.

Either way looks fantastic!

Thanks GD!!!

I am just a sativa lover I guess, as long as I can make my stash last from grow to grow, I'm delighted. :stoned:

:farm: Sativas and this hazey Lady like a looonnnggg flower cycle. I know you could easily get 2 grows of an indica in the same time. Sometimes, especially toward the end of my stash from each grow, I think it would be nice to again grow an 8-9 week plant, and I am sure I will return to the quicker grows at some point in the future. I like White Widow, Northern Lights and Bluberry alot too. :hubba:

 

[Puffin Afatty]

Here are a couple I forgot from before of the little bud we been following from the beginning. cute eh??:woohoo:

 

[SmknWhiteWidow]

Howdy and Thanks SWW!!!!

I am packing a bong of the day 105 sample :bong1: see
and looking at my tray I should have just enough to get me thru until todays harvest is dry :woohoo:

 

[CasualGrower]

Ya know what puffin..... I think I saw a Sqft or 2 in there not being used, I bet you could throw a WW or a shorter flower plant in there to get you through those tough times when smoke is short and hard to come by :hubba:

Harvest is looking great PA )

:hubba: yes, phase 1, and look how much remains, just using the strings as standards, there is easily 2x as much left for harvest next tuesday. I can hardly wait to try this smoke, the sample from 10 days ago is excellent, even without a cure. :stoned:

time for another

Thanks CG!!!!

Yes, there is a little space, but I figger to fill it with SnowWhite next harvest. This Lady can get very big. I think 15-16 ounces will get me thru the 21 weeks to follow until the next harvest.

I was kinda wondering if adding another 400w hps would give me a better yield??:hubba:

 

[CasualGrower]

HAHAHA Reveg that lady a time or 2 more and she will be able to fill a 2 car garage hehehe...
