update from the other side (journal)

Cheers Oz - thinking about it now I should never have believed their timescales, ah well, i'll go to bed less stupid tonight.
 
i get the feeling i've asked a "how long is a piece of string" type question - time to harvest relies on how much light they get? Mine are under 2 inadequate CFLs and as much daylight as the weather can provide (sunny this avo and 18degrees)
 
As ever thank you very much Green! A month then about 2 weeks to dry/cure - we can plan to spin the oil out for 7 weeks more.

I'll have to get back onto the harvesting tutorial pages although it's the drying/curing which stresses me more.
 
I can sit and watch the Evolution part he plays in "Revelations" over and over again...How that damn stupid monkey ate that shroom...

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather.”

I will,as time goes by,do more/better work with my plants and products of,for now i am running like a headless chicken ;)
 
speaks volumes that Mr Bill Hicks is still considered awesome 25 or so years after i first saw some of his stuff - I'd love to know what he'd make of today's politicos.

The quote below is one of my favourites too.


Cheers Nartak - i'll keep posting updates every few days - seen your project too - very nice!

Hello GWE, been away for about 3 weeks - very busy over here. Anyways here's an update on the girls - I have a feeling they're progressing kind of slowly (your opinions please.....) it's a stress as we have to prepare the oil soon or else our patient will run out and cancer will be untreated....

Do we think they're getting enough light? They all grew pistills without any change in the light schedule so must be autos (2 are unkonwn varieties).

Plenty of sun here though 20 degrees today.
It's killing us not being able to guess how far off harvest they are.

Very best wishes to you all :)

They all look pretty good except the one with the very thin leaves. Looks very stunned. Do you know what's going up?
in order to know how long til harvest you need to know how many hours the day has. Most strains will flower even under 14 hours of light. But the flowering gets really slow. Twice as much at least. So find out when the days are going to be 12 hours long and then count 10 weeks from there and there's your estimate. If you live in the northern hemisphere this may occur around august - sep
 
Thanks 9fingers for answering :) - i think they're all autos so (if i'm right and i'm not sure that i am) the light schedule shouldn't effect when they start to flower etc.

what i am most worried about is how long they're taking to get through the flowering stage - Green said at least a month when he commented in middle of Feb 3 weeks later and theyre moving on but not so fast.

I have no choice - we have to wait for them :) It's nature man. The stress is we're trying to treat my Mum in law who has extensive late stage cancer and if she runs out of oil the cancer doesn't get treated until these girls are ready to harvest.
Argh!

Am i right about autos - I know I've read it about a hundred times that changing light schedules isn't necessary for auto to enter flowering stage.. Stress making me doubt myself.
 
I'll bet it's the lights - we have 2 CFLs which were fine for early on - now we're relying on the sun - we're in a hot country but it's variable....
 
Okay..when I said a month..did not realize they were possible autos..

Sounds like your still not sure...can you just leave them outside and let the Sun take care of it...if they are autos the 12/12 will slow them down...
 
Hi Green - no problem with your advice or estimate, no criticism at all you've been extremely helpful - thankyou.

the only prob with sitting them outside is the nighttime temps - still sometimes 10 to 12 degress c - is that too cold for them?

i think they have to be auto as they grew pistills with no changes in the light schedule

2 are defo autos (as we bought them)
 
Put bamboo sticks in pot around edge wrap with plastic at night...or bring in...Sun light is better than four cfls for sure..

Good luck with whatever you decide...best wishes to the patient in need!!
 
Green - thank you so much - for the advice, information and well wishes.

Very best wishes to you too.

A thousand blessings upon you! :)

HI GWE,

well - i think we're getting there, it's been a bit of a slog but the leading 2 girls are definitely getting closer and the other 2 are showing good signs. This has been a good learning curve, also learned about not counting your chickens - the girls have been slower than expected - i guess due to nutrition and light mainly.

I may also have been underwatering a bit - which is a shame as the guides are pretty clear on how to water but i notcied after a real dowsing there was a real big improvement next day. Lso the sun has been out a lot more so like i said - we're getting there.

The RSO for our patient is at rock bottom and i estimate we'll need a couple more weeks before the harvest, then I'll be looking at speed drying for at least some of the herb and get that oil made.
More pics to follow internet permitting....


Any /all comments very welcome. Thanks for your support GWE!
Feel the love
