KingKush grow #2 - 3000w Bruce Banner in soil

Of course, the four young ladies pictured at the top of this page!
I'll be on the lookout for the new journal - and hope to see this one end up in jars! ;)
 
You can send me some seeds 😆. I don't know if you just had reg seeds go herm or just grew bag seeds like me. But I'd do away with the flower room if I ran into that much pollen I didn't see it coming in my grow really. The youngsters need their space if you can move em to a dark area or somewhere you can finish flowering. I'd sterilize the room and go for some banner not jenner.

Manifold Review #1

OG Kush Mix -bagseed, manifold
Today is the day this lady gets the basal prune and she sure has taught me more in 1 plant than entire grows have. First plant ever with a true Manifold which is 100% due to Grow Weed Easy dot com and this forum. For about 90% of the grow I had serious doubts to the technique but after completing the style with intention it had revealed many things to me. This plant is the first harvested, but I did two this experiment and the second one is a complete MONSTER with a follow up Manifold review to come.

1) Manifolding this plant and strain did NOT effect length of time. (Does not take longer, which I bet it would. I was wrong)
2) Even with scrutiny and a negative outlook the whole time, in the end, the OVERALL FEELING FOR ME IS POSITIVE.
3) I will try again because:
4) Manifolding is tidy. It provides an extra sense of neatness and aesthetics to the grow & harvest. I like how the plant ended up harvesting: takes less time stalking and trimming.

NebulaHaze Thank you for the articles provided on manifolding. It made my grow more "fun" and that is always a good thing.

Manifolding ends up being neat, without effecting time or yield (at least negatively) as long as you don't kill or stunt your plant early. Not a beginners or first time growers technique because I wouldn't have any of these insights or confidence if it were not for growing some plants with different training. This definitely took the most Hope & Faith in veg than any other training style. Again, thanks Nebula and Nug Buckets.

Growers Love ❤️
 
Manifold Love!!!
That's already a great review! I was worried when you really weren't so sure about it - but it is such a great technique I thought you'd come around!
Great looking harvest!

Day 58

Last and Final
Here she is, the broken manifold ended up being the champion. Looks like she had a few more weeks left in her. Unfortunately I could not provide the room and light for her because a group of other tenants are waiting to move in. So down she goes.

Drying

My methods of drying are primarily based on the environment outside. It is very cool, wet and humid all the time. Indoors is not much better and my particular structure is good but not great. It takes heat, and heat costs money. A dehumidifier or two will be an intelligent investment in the future, especially if I can eliminate the need for smelling up the house.
Upon the last days of growing I will make sure it's toasty warm, skip the last watering and let the soil dry up as much as I can, then maybe skip a lights-on cycle, just to keep from burning off any trichomes for a day. Then take as many leaves of as possible, but careful not to snip close to the buds, the juices that seep out seem to cause me bud rot or mold. Do this as I chop them up and hang in the bathroom for 10-14 days. Use fan and heater keep it 75-80 with air flowing.
Then trim & bag or put into containers.

It's all about the stems. They control the moisture in the buds until the final trim. I like this method because it helps start the curing process at the same time. After 2 weeks of a slow dry on the stems, do a final trim and jar. It keeps the bud smelling and feeling fresh. Taste is right behind Strength in my inner circle so we strive for tasty lip smacking smoke, as well as the medicinal strength. This has been shown to me to produce extremely aromatic and tasteful smoking nugget. After about a month (after harvest) the taste & smell will start to fade, but the strength and effects start to change too.
 
Smoke Report

Bruce Banner first harvest. The purple, seedy one with the most colors. Purples and Golds.
Ended up losing 40% to seeds but all the big top colas are Sensimilla. Even the seedy stuff is really quality nugget, just with seeds.

First Impression: 9/10
-Good name, look, smell, feel, chunky nugs.

First Toke: 9.5/10
-Concussion type feel, stars & tunnel vision, instant regret (like I smoked too much at once)

Medical Use: 10/10
-Sleepy, munchy, relaxing, good terpene profile, HEAVY body stone

Recreational Use: 8.5/10
-Warning: work and machinery not feasible, couchlock, chillaxing

Daily Smoke: 8/10
-P.M. Only, sleep aid, night cap, not good for morning

Taste: 6/10
-Not bad but not good, not harsh but still has bite

Smell: 9/10
-Strong overtone of overripe melon, wet morning roses, then fades into regular kushy type indica acrid gym sock


Overall: 9.25/10
Super strong stone, like a vise on both body and mind. Smells and looks amazing, which makes up for the lack of taste. Can be a bit heavy for some, all motivation will be lost, which makes it a great stress reliever and sleep aid.

Too bad this one bagseed phenotype is a nightmare to grow. Pollen and seeding crops is not in my future so this is a one time grow. Was fun while she lasted.
