Stoney's Bubba Kush Harvest

[StoneyBud]

Hey folks, taking a little break.

I looked at the trichs this morning and decided to harvest today. The buds all have about a 50-50 cloudy/amber color and it's time.

As you may know, I grow in a 4-Tub, ebb and flow system.

In this crop, I had one Bubba plant in each of the 4 tubs.

So far, I have Tub 1 and about half of Tub 2 harvested and trimmed. I'm too old for this trimming stuff any more. My arms and back are KILLING me.

Oh well, 2.5 tubs to go.

Tub 1 had a wet weight of 600 grams, or 21.5 ounces. I'll post the wet weight of each plant and then the combined wet weight.

Tub 1 was the runt, so I'm hoping the weight on the other tubs will go over 600 grams.

Congrats on making the final post.

I took half a plant today and will take the rest of it tomorrow (my fingers went numb in the greenhouse :rofl

3 more plants in a week or so.

I love this time of year.

Not just because it is my time, but also because I can feel the excitement in the forum as other know they are close.

Can you feel the lift in the forum too?

Smiles all round

Thanks man, yes, I sure do feel the harvest euphoria that hits every year at this time. Mine was a coincidence sort of. I was gifted the clones and just used them when I received them. It turned out that I'm harvesting with all the outside folks this year!

Man, I wish my body was numb. Every year, the trimming gets to me a little more. I'm only about half done and I'm wore out.

Next crop is the center cola one. That should be easier to trim out.

Well, back to work I go!

awesome weight stoney!!!! I dream of those numbers...

Thanks 2Dog! That's my wet weight of course. On bud this full of resin, I'm not sure what my percentage will be from wet/cured weight.

On less resinous bud, I get about 1/8th cured from wet.

We'll see what my final wet weight is.

As soon as I have the entire harvest trimmed, I'll snap a pic or two!

A couple of the buds are pretty awesome.

Congrats man. I'm excited stoneybud, not just for your harvest but for your

Congrats Stoney! I hear ya on the trimming pain. Been doing it myself every night for 5 hours and my body hurts, but it is a good pain. Just knowing it came out good and it will be in jars soon keeps us going. Looking forward to pics.

Awesome Stoney... congrats on the big harvest man, I cant wait for the smoke report

 

[StoneyBud]

Ok, Tub 2 is complete and trimmed.

Wet weight 1400 grams, or 50 ounces. Tub 1 had only half the reflective light of the other tubs. As a result, it was under half the harvest weight of tub 2 which had lots of reflective light. The next crop will have full reflective material on all parts of the grow. The difference the reflected light makes is shown below in the weights. Newbies, this is important...

So far:

Tub 1 = 600 grams

Tub 2 = 1400 grams

Total weight so far: 70.6 ounces wet weight

I'm getting there. I gotta take another break....

darn stoney...I'm jealous

 

[StoneyBud]

darn stoney...I'm jealous

Ha! Yer killin me! Man, I just decided to go ahead and run the lights and pump one more evening. I'll do Tubs 3 and 4 tomorrow.

My back is screaming and I just realized I didn't eat yet today. I'm going to run out and get some chow and then come home and rest this back until tomorrow.

Last year sure didn't seem this hard!

hehe, what a whiner...

The worst part is allways last...trimmin'. But the BEST is yet to come! Can't wait for the smoke report!

 

[StoneyBud]

Well here's a quick smoke report. I made a ball of hash from the resin that stuck to the fingers of the surgical gloves I wear while harvesting. The resin comes off of them easier than from my own fingers and you can get all of it.

I smoked a piece about the size of a short grain of rice, literally.

The only smoke I have ever had throw me down like that is opiated hash over in Europe. For two hours, I was zoned out like a zombie, from that one tiny piece of hash. I finished it in one large toke and one small one.

The hit tasted like a menthol cool, clean hash taste like only the best of the best hash tastes.

This stuff has a narcotic feeling high that made one of my cats very happy. He laid on me for almost two hours without me even moving. I was mentally in the Stratosphere and physically totally relaxed.

On a 1 to 100 scale of the best smoke I've ever had, this is the 100, and that is not just saying a number.

Of course, it will take a bit more bud to have the same effect as the hash, but it's the same resin.

I'm impressed. Seriously impressed.
