Death Star Harvest phase 2 awaits. She is sitting under a Roleadro 400w COB light, and next to a GalaxyHydro 300w which is feeding her tent-mate. I haven't turned Death Star in about a week, and I know this is informal, but the side that is closer to the GalaxyHydro seems frostier and a little fatter in the buds. I've got a side by side grow experiment in mind with multiple clones in the same bin.

Jack Herer is stretching into week 3, got a haircut and lollipopping, and clones cut. I like cutting clones, it feels like gardening. Even if I don't really have a plan to grow them.

Death Star yielded another little harvest of top buds, it's taking very long for the lower buds to mature. But I'm going to wait till they are good and thickly frosted, and more than a little amber in the trichomes. I can't get a good picture with my USB microscope. I'll figure it out. So far, I have 5.2oz dried, curing in jars.

Of course, it's dry enough to smoke, but not cured. So I'm smoking it. It's nice,gentle, sleepy high. What little fuel and cat pee smell were there have faded in the jar, leaving a faint, cut grass/mildly cheesy scent. The smoke is smooth, but little flavor.

As Death Star fades away, Jack will rise and become the star of the show. She will be joined by her clone in DWC who will have a few weeks of catch up to do, but as you can see, she has grown from a little clone cut from her 18" tall mother, to about 10 inches now. She is sharing her Scnorklbin with a Holy Grail seedling who looks like she wishes the nutes were stronger. But Jack likes American Beer noots.

I have tied her down for LST with a fishing weight and soft tie.

The last phase of harvest from Death Star is going to go very long to get nice and frosty, and deeply sleepy. She's got about an ounce her yet to pick. Some of that may get left behind to try a re-veg. She's still getting water, molasses, and Bush Doctor Microbe Brew every 2 weeks.

Jack Herer is in week 4 of flower, her baby budlets are now easily visible to the naked eye. She's still stretching nicely, but with very close internodal spacing. She is growing in Happy Frog soil.

Her clone daughter from December is doing well, about 10 inches tall, growing in DWC. I hope she about catches up with mom by the time she goes in the flower tent.

Happy Sunday Morning! Wife and I went fishing yesterday, and I took her out across the bar from Coos Bay out to the Pacific ocean for the first time in our little boat. It was SPECTACULAR! especially for February. The sun came out, the wind was calm, and a 4 foot swell (which is small). We didn't catch anything, and for some reason, our main motor wouldn't start back up. Thankfully, the little trolling motor got us back in (very slowly).

We're also thankful that, since we had plenty of time near shore, we could call the Coast Guard guys and let them know what was going on. The young men and women on duty at Coast Guard Life Boat Station were all very helpful and ready to come out and help us if needed. They called and checked on us, and kept calling me captain, which at the time, I thought was rather cute. After thinking about it later, I think it's more than courtesy. It's a reminder that the driver of the boat is responsible for the life of his wife and 2 dogs when you put them in your boat and take them out into the ocean. Many thanks to all of them!

And thankfully, we're home safe. And the girls are happy and well. Death Star is still hanging on the last ounce or so at 14 weeks. Now I really know how early I took the first half. What a difference in smell in the jar. The first cut is cured after about 2 weeks in the jar. Very light smell of hay and pecans, gentle dense smoke with a soothing head and body high. The second cut is getting nuttier, and even a little roasted coffee. Thank God the cat pee went away. She will finally come down this week, if not this weekend. She's been getting flushed with molasses water for about a week. Her leaves are about done for.

Jack Herer is coming along nicely. Since Death Star looks like she's running out of leaves, I'm defoliating less assertively, but lollipopping more to focus on the bud I want. I have her clone in DWC ready to join her in the tent soon, so I don't have to let her keep all the little stuff. Her little buds are starting to develop trichomes, the lightest of frost.I want to see what being more selective with the buds will get.

Any advice on pruning branches?

Death Star is finished. She got a lot frostier, and a little heavier on the bottom buds and harvested on February 8th. Her last round of harvest yielded 1.2oz after drying on parchment paper in dark closet. Some of her first harvest from Deceber 17 as been a nice, spacey smoke with a gentle giggliness. She did get considerably frostier, but not the frostiest I've seen (not that I've seen much).

She has little smell. Highly recommended for stealth because of lack of odor. Faint scent of hay, toasted hazelnuts on the nose, and light fuel taste on the exhale. Very smooth smoke. The high is gentle and sociable.

After bringing her home as a cutting in a cup of water last Sept, clipped from an outdoor grow just before flowering started, grown in happy frog and flipped around Thanksgiving. She yielded 6.5oz dry (enough to smoke).

Thanks for all your help and company, I love growing with you guys. I'll start a new one for Jack Herer, she's 4 weeks out from flip with little white puff ball buds. She's living under 2 galaxyhydro 300's in Ocean Forest, and will be joined in the tent by her clone daughter in DWC, and lit up by my new Sun LC315 when it gets here! I have the best wife ever!
