Week 10

Aurora's trichomes look like they are trying to cloud up. Hopefully they do by next week. Not that we anxious about harvesting, but our sources have run dry around here and Azlyn needs something to control her pain. She's trying to stick it out and has even had to take a few pain pills to keep the pain at manageable levels. I hate seeing her like that. This is the whole reason we invested into growing our own herb. I won't have to see her cry from stupid pain again. Weed helps her in ways very few will ever understand...

Cici had some trimming done. I found a sweet 9 leaf on her too!

[Royal Nugs]

Chop a branch off and get it drying. I would if I were suffering...

The fox tails are beautiful, you have to be in the home stretch!

[9fingerleafs]

That's such a crazy leaf. I would recommend you to eliminate fingers of leafs that touch each other in that way. Overlapping flat plant surfaces condenses water and encourages mold. Just pluck the extra fingers so you don't get any mold

Dude I hope you harvest soon and get the pain relief needed, I will divert wishes for my own harvest to wishes for yours dude

[Pankace]

Awwww that's awesome thank you.

[Pankace]

She's ready. Doing a quick rinse early Monday morning and she will come down Wednesday. She got purty. Had a few more pics but somethin wrong with loading pics. Thought it was my settings but now I'm not so sure. Got 2 of the 5 pics to load.

[Green75]

Drop a link when it's time and I'm in

[OzBud]

I second that.

[Vapo69]

Hiya Pankace + Azlyn, I did divert my wishes towards your harvest dudes, I secretly wished for my own harvest a little bit on the side ....I think I'm due to chop same day as you...maybe just after....whatever!!!, it's happy days for us haha!!! have a great harvest dudes

[Pankace]

Hope all goes well. May your trim scissors become gooey and gunky lol

[Azlyn]

How did your harvest go? Our went well. We got 4.4 oz from Aurora. After we chopped her, Pankace was mad because he didnt think we had that much lol. We sadly didn't get as much bubble hash as we wanted, but it was enough to make a batch of edibles. Our attempt at making dabs failed, but since we have done a lot of research. We're hopeful for next harvest.

[Vapo69]

Hi guys, my harvest was ok-ish, messed up the drying out and ended up doing a high humidity cure, really small and hard buds but still potent, smelt bad at first but went after abit, had it over Christmas, lots of lessons learnt, well done on your harvest, shame about the hermie

[Azlyn]

Bad day. So since we harvested aurora, we've been busy. Aurora's harvest went well, but that's not what this post is about. Yesterday we discovered that Cici hermed. We aren't sure what caused this. Maybe the one day we accidentally opened the tent when it was lights out. Maybe it was the fact that our basement got too chilly. Maybe we stressed her out when we defoliated her the other day. We don't know. But today was a bad day. After 10 weeks of veg and 3 weeks of flower, we chopped her down. I had actual tears in my eyes. All that work. All that love. Gone. We displeased the grow gods. Bad day.

[Green75]

nooo... why did you kill her

[Azlyn]

We grow because i have a connective tissue disorder. I don't have full use of my hands so picking out seeds isn't possible for me. So down she went.

[9fingerleafs]

You could have just harvested early. Depending on how big are the bananas and how quickly they mature and grow pollen. But usually to get ripe seeds you need to harvest waaaay later. You could have just monitored closely the plant and rip out any male flowers. And in case of pollination you could have harvested before the seeds actually form or even make a concentrate like a solvent extraction where seeds don't matter (or get someone to do it for you) just a few ideas for the next time you deal with that situation. Not all is lost
