Here are my half colas, my little mini colas in week 6 of flower. I wrote a few weeks ago that I had lowered my harvest by, what did I say, 20%, by cutting too far up the stem? Ha! Wishful thinking: I lowered my harvest by closer to 50%. What on earth was I thinking? I can't help it: I feel serious regret for my mistake.

That's the Afghan Kush closeup on the right, and the CBD Nordle on the left. AK will be finished first, and now I take a good look at the trichomes every day. With my improved viewing techniques, I now CLEARLY see the milky triches, the opaque ones, and the clear ones. On the bright side: I have much better control over when I harvest, so that's a definite plus for this grow.

I'm glad YOU have a handle on the triches 😄

So whats been going on with your grow alltatup? How are those colas doing after that severe trim. Im betting there still thickening up nicely.

Im in love!!!

I harvested Afghan Kush yesterday, with all milky triches and a few ambers. The two CBD Nordles and the Mazar have 2-3 more weeks.

The plantlets in the other box are 8 Ball Kush, Critical, CBD Euphoria and Night Queen.

I almost chopped my Afgan Kush but I took so long to trim those 2 critical I got from you ,that I decided to wait a couple of more days .

Very nice and frosty.

FINAL REPORT ON AFGHAN KUSH:

I harvested her on Sun morning; trichomes were predominantly translucent with a few clear and a few milky. I saw an occasional amber. From all that I've been reading about trichomes lately, I decided that since she is a 100% Afghan Kush, I wanted the high to have more THC and not allow it to degrade into CBN.

She dried for five days in a dark place temp around 67-68, humidity around 45-50%. Dry weight 20.5gm.

SMOKE REPORT: I vaped a bud with a buddy yesterday afternoon; it vaped beautifully. Delightful flavor, smooth vapor. Buddy took 3 hits and stopped.
The high was very nicely relaxing and strong; a very kind head buzz. Afghan strains like this and Night Queen and Black Domina will become "narcotic" as they are described online if they are grown till triches are on the other end of the harvest window.

HARVEST LAST 3 PLANTS, SAT, MAR 10

Grow 6 is at an end, and dry/cure 6 are underway. Today I harvested the other three plants: 2 CBD Nordle and 1 Mazar. I decarbed a bit of the Mazar and vaped with a buddy; it was an intense and relaxing head high and relaxed body.

So my little midget colas got thick in the last three weeks. I harvested these three at the end of week 10 from switch to 12/12, and the Afghan Kush at the end of week 9. I'm happy with the phatness of the buds. My lil midgets.

Afghan Kush is curing away; her jar stays between 61-65% RH right now; the weather's quite dry right now during this chilly spell, so I'm keeping the heat fairly low (67 degrees)--but not within mold range--while the girls are drying, to compensate for low humidity. I'm quite please with how AK dried.

And I got lots of sticky trim drying for making my favorite--TINCTURES!!!!!

**DingusKhan** · 03-11-2018, 07:00 AM

Beautiful buds! Fine trimming job too.

**Kobayashi** · 03-11-2018, 01:32 PM

Nice looking buds you’ve grown. I’ll be very interested to hear what you think of the Nordle. Mine has just a few more days to go.

CBD Nordle (by CBD Crew) Vape Report:

She flowered for 10 weeks, and CBD Crew said 8-10 wks. THC 5-10%, CBD 5-10%. That is 10 weeks from when I switched to 12/12, which is how I'm going to count from now on. It seems accurate, and it messes with my head to have one count from switch to 12/12, and another for first sign of pistils.

I decarbed some Nordle this morning; it went in a jar after 5 days hanging to dry. I get a very positive first impression: it's a pleasant stone and it took away a little bit of headache I was feeling. I'm going to vape it for the rest of the day, and see what the cumulative effects are.

Tika the plate is for you!! ;-}

Alltatup_nice buds! Never heard of that strain before_the Nordal_ it sounds similar to some of the CBD strains I've tried lately and two that I'm growing now. Though the two present ones are f1 strains so there are at least three phenotypes for each of them. The results will likely be a surprise, but thats OK! The CBD OG Kush are already different_ one is lots taller with long branches and the other is half the height with tighter internodes...why does this keep happening to me?. The small one also started getting bud-lets about 3-4 days ago and the larger one is just starting. I always start my countdown for seed to harvest the day they pop up out of the medium. These guys look like they will be pretty close to the breeders estimate, but usually I plan on a week to ten days longer so I have a little extra time to work with.
And usually it takes a week more than what they say.
By the way_ I was mixing up a batch of tincture the other night and listening to some tunes from the past_ when Traffic's "Medicated Goo" started playing and I thought of you_ cuz of your (and mine) fondness for tinctures_ "So follow me, its good for you_ that old fashioned medicate goo_My own home recipe will see you through"_ had too play it 3x! Cheers!

**ZigZag** · 03-14-2018, 01:00 PM

That would be a nice combo to try. I usually make my tinctures with about 50/50_ THC/CBD_ some of the high CBD strains just aren't great for smoking, so I use them in tinctures. My objective is to get any other strain that has at least 12-15% THC so there's at least a little "reward"...Also found that_at least in my humbled limited experience_that having about 50/50 works best for me. I have a really hard time judging how much CBD is in it because I don't get high_ wish there was some way to measure that without having to go to a lab and pay for it.But for now...just stick with what seems to be working.

**ZigZag** · 03-15-2018, 12:33 PM

Have to agree_ The combo of THC/CBD seems to work the best for me. Often I'll mix a high THC strain, say 18-26% and a CBD strain of 3-12%_But I never really know what the end result is. Got to admit I like the tinctures too- the delivery is nice_faster than eating it_ and it lasts for 4-8hrs for me so you don't need to "partake" nearly as often which is great for being "discrete". Everything else is discrete too_ no smoke, no smell. But when I want an immediate delivery there is the vape or bong or even a joint....well probably not a joint if I already took the tincture! I save my most potent and tasty bud for vaping or smoking.
Cheers to all!
As an aside it is great for so many different things_ I have seizures from a head injury and take meds to keep it under control. Most of the time they work but occasionally I have "break through" seizures_ mostly due to a lack of sleep, stress, a combination of the two, and I think dehydration can contribute. anyway the meds I take often cause insomnia which has been cured since I started using cannabis again after so many years. Also interestingly the incidence of break through seizures has been reduced by 50% which is substantial. Whether its due to the terpenes in the cannabis directly, the fact that I get good sleep and less stress or more likely a combination of the two.I just have to tartrate the tinctures after each batch to make sure I don't overdo it!
