week 8.5 flower

no change in nute levels, however last dose of raw went in yesterday. might fill the ppm gap with trio next week minus the grow formula.
temps, rh, and ph steady in the zone.

blooms are just chuggin along, fattening a little with every cycle. been going thru and taking the few remaining fans, trying to get just a little more light down in there for the final few weeks. also stopped using the ac during night cycle and dehumidifying instead. plan to let them warm just a few degrees until i get the NEW ac put up next week then lower it again. when trichs tell me im days from flushing i will cool and dry them down as much as my equipment will allow up until harvest.
trichomes look to me to be 70-75% glass clear still. i see a good portion of milky to white here and there, but still havent reached harvest window yet. excitement and impatience aside, im happy there is still so much time left. from what i have read, there is a possibility of doubling my final weight from this point on by waiting for some ambers. targeting 30% min/40% max amber. strain is 90/10 indica heavy, and im lookin for a nice strong heavy stone that melts away aches, pains, and migraines and laughs mightily in the face of insomnia!!! strong, effective, and worry free medicine. we will see.

if you have a minute, tell me what you see and what you think.

happy sunday mornin to all!

rh 39-45% day, 46-50% night
ph 6.2 to 5.8

sampled a little today, whoooooo zippy. gonna be impressive when thc peaks and mellows. damn i felt my heartbeat good for a bit and scrambled my brain like a sativa. then naptime.
equipment packages came all last week. bubble bags, pollen press, scales, bovida packs, jar hygrometers. gearing up for the end of this show.
i will update again when amber trichomes start showing up in numbers.

Now that's a photoshoot! Definitely looks like you're getting close, beautiful plants!

**intergalactic_harvester** · 05-14-2017, 05:35 PM

bloom week 11.5

very brief update.
got some nute burn, came on so slow i didnt hardly notice it happening. oh well, not a game changer. backed off the nutes a cuple hundred ppm.
trichs nearly all cloudy, dont see how there is no ambers. but there are some wierd opaque pale pinkish ones? dont know if that means anything.
im pullin the trigger on em. gonna have a little harvest and trim party on the holiday weekend, so today will be thier last feed, flushing begins next weekend. i figure if the trichs matured 40% in 2 weeks, i should have decent ambers when i cut.
thanks for lookin in. sorry this is the only pic i can post.

**Tika** · 05-14-2017, 09:30 PM

Ohhh so wonderful! Really...if I were "wealthy" I would be there as many would. On time and making great salads and dressings for you. Dutch oven outside rock hen...
i really hope this is a grand celebration for you and all!
sending my best to you and all

our first harvest.

13.5 weeks blooming. what a ride!
started cutting friday night, one plant at a time. finished monday afternoon. next time maybe cut a handful at a time cuz they a bitch to handle when they start to soften. syrupy mess.
hung 178 single branches (scrog) and almost filled the top tier of the 24" rack with loose buds, which have already lost 50% mass so i will jar those tonight. the other 7 tiers are ALL for the hashpot. 80%+ is flower, the rest is all trichomed leaves.
there was a good few main colas filled out real nice in spite of the overcrowding, happy for that. i know now that while i dont need to eliminate all side branches (i like hash) i do need to control it for better spacing in my tops.
overall i am very pleased with my first harvest. i didnt wet weigh because its not that important to me, i can wait to see it dry. but im confident i will see 6 to 8 jars of good bud and enough good hash to make the whole neighborhood smile. in the end tho, its not really about the weight on this first run, but about simply succeeding. i pushed a lot of limits , and learned a lot of lessons. and you folks here at gwe helped get me out of some tough spots and into some sweet fkn cannabis buds, and i am sooo grateful for all bein there.

little samples review
samples taken 2 weeks pre harvest, dried down 3 days, jarred n curing 2 weeks now.

consistency is great i think. nice n solid but not rock hard. my preference for the bong and pipe. i like a full bowl to light up and burn well, but still get 3 big ones from it.
smell n flavor just starting to come in. still too faint to comment as its mostly just the cure funk ramping up still. but... 6 ppl tried it now and say its damn smooth for no flush and a green cure. nobody coughed. so once again, a forgiving strain for new growers!
aaahh, the stone...
i dont know how to describe the stone accurately. unlike anything ive ever smoked in my life. i can tell you takes about 5 mins to start, continues to intensify noticeably for up to about 30 mins. then that levels off as the body effects kick in and then THEY intensify for a bit. stone lasts long.
best i can describe it is intense. never felt anything quite like it. super spacey, amnesiatic, and def a night time smoke. one good green ripper does me more than fine, all i could do and still trim. kept spacing off on those jeweled flowers! 3-4 hits and im cooked. cant even undersand english anymore.

all i got time for now. sorry about the gap in updates, dont seem worth posting without pics.

happy humpday GWE

I have to say that is going to be one bitch of a shake!!!! I use a large piece of corrion at knee high and sweat like a fiend espnafter the initial 5 min shake with the 5 gal bucket with 5 lbs of dry ice. A true labor of love
