Time to show your grow.

[Farmall]

If it means anything. I usually lose a fair amount as well but i am a tinkerer and try to improve stuff if it’s an option and I think there are possibilities for strict control if environmental conditions can be rigidly controlled. This was dried very slowly and in a room irradiated with uvb for 8 days to experiment on sanitizing the ambient space and humidity controlled at a steady 60% and temp of 65F. The drying “room’ is a 4’ cube space I made with lines for exchanging air that is modified for humidity and temp. When these buds were at 63-65%, they were super sticky without being damp. At extraction time, they remained as sticky. Frozen for 3 weeks before the quick wash The qwet was filtered through diatomaceous earth, winterized and created about with several passes through the Source Turbo, purged for nearly 10 days to draw of any residual Everclear 190. The fragrance is like everyone one of us has had but more gooder 😆

oldjarhead100. The formula seems off.... it bugged me to think I had 6.2g so I weighed it... the silicone mat is 29.3 grams the lump with tare set to 0.00 show the “lump” weighs 19.67 grams. I didn’t think it was near 20 ...maybe 12?

After 12 weeks in flower the clone, turned mother plant, turned lets see what happens has been harvested. Fingers and scissors were in need of a decent cleaning after the trimming.
Set in the makeshift area in the garage and left alone most of the time. Think its telling me something....
290 g wet. Has some purple in it and is about 10 to 15% amber although I had a hard time getting decent photos of the amber trichs.
This is a clone from a bagseed indica plant.

Cut a small bud last week and tried it today. Quality of smoke is fairly smooth and strong. Hits quick and then soon relaxes you.
My wife says it's great at helping her sleep better.
It should get a bit better with age.


jarred after almost 7 days. 3.8 oz dry. Real happy with that. Thanks for all the help to everyone on the forum.

Sweet looking display, JohnEmad have your cured this already? Why, I could not say but the purple color always get me as beautiful, so does green, orange, yellow, blue, oh hell....🌈

 

[JohnEmad]

hey Farmall,
We have only dried one small bud that was chopped a week early as a tester.
The rest is slowly drying and will be a week or so before into jars.
Seems the purple only showed up in the last couple weeks. I thought of delaying the harvest even longer to get more amber and purple but with the extended cold weather shut it down.

 

[Farmall]

JohnEmad I think I’m seeing a bit of amber in the pictures.... run into weather issues here as well, in one respect, I’m glad the lights are very cool. They don’t add extra warmth to the area but that is really a 9 month benefit, winter would benefit from it nicely without having to heat the area.

 

[JohnEmad]

I carefully scanned the flowers with the handheld microscope and saw lots of amber but also many areas with mainly cloudy trichs. If the tester is any indication we should have no problem relaxing with this.

The Rev and Bruce

You can see the reveg from a two day timer mishap in the back ground, great time to try Back building.

 

[homegrown]

Damn! those are some BUDS. The reveg you talk about..is that the leaves showing on the top of the buds? and what is back building?

 

[Mr.furley]

Yes the leaves are getting bigger on top from the reveg, they are also grow new pistils and nanners👎 that is not in time with the rest of the bud. Backbuilding buds is a controversial practice of clipping off the tops of your colas to increase mass below.

 

[homegrown]

Did the nanners just start after your timer mishap? And backbuilding, is the same as pinching top of bud off to gain desired effect ie larger bud?..A buddy did that to one of my buds last grow..said it would fatten up..it may have..i didnt really notice a difference.

 

[Mr.furley]

Controversial at best but the reveg top isn't doing any good, yes they popped about two weeks after the timer problem(it got bumped and had a two hour wake up) people do this intentionally to produce seeds, this too is controversial and at the stage I'm only worried about the other plants that just hit the room, don't need no accident crossing.

All bag seed started 8/31-9/12 they are about 40 days into flower so they still have about another 30 days or longer probably gonna do one final defoliation before I get to far into flower, but there looking pretty good for the setup that I have and it being my first grow! Gonna upgrade my lights for the next grow

 

[Blowinnheavy420]

Ps sorry for the purple pics it’s the best I can do with the lighting I have at the moment

 

[Farmall]

Ive tried that process, it seems to have only worked on 1 bud on 1 plant. It truly is a soda can wide bud and as tall. Maybe I did not clip enough on the others. I’ve come to know the ‘fuck I missed” term . Just bending into the back of the tent kills my back and I get aches and pains and just gotta get it don and .....Fuck, I missed!
Wrong use but still the correct term.

 

[Tersky]

Here is updated pics. Bruce Banner 3 has a couple weeks until flush and Sour D has about a month i think. First time growing with LEC's and it is different than HPS in that the plant is more compact. I am getting great tops but the mid and lower sections are having trouble getting big so i gotta play around and figure out the best way to handle the stretch in early flower to allow for better light penetration i think. We'll see at harvest how thick the BB3 buds are. They are crystaly as fuck tho...and it smells like heaven.

 

[Mr.furley]

Farmall I figure at this point what I cut isn't going to ripen the same and is quite airy, so no harm maybe some benefit, worst case scenario nothing happens.

 

[Mr.furley]

Looking good blowin.

 

[Mr.furley]

They both look lovely.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Boy those look great Tersky
