ShaggyGrower Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hi @french mango, Bon chance!! @I'm Sal, I'm probably on my weighing too much thingy. I figured 90% of the total would be left in bud (a guess), so I guessed ~ 3.5g so not far off your guess. Weighed it this morning and it's 23.5g, so that's quite a bit lost in ~16 hours (ambient room temperature in that cardboard box 68-70, and I just now have some moisture sucking stuff in there as well to keep the humidity low). I'm finding harvest time both exciting and stressful. Exciting because they're done/nearly done, stressful as I don't want to cut them too soon/late and bugger up drying/curing. And then there's the trimming. I shall try not to rush the trimming, or anything. It's day 58 of flowering for all of them (as I think their flowers showed very close together, ~18/Dec). DD 63-70 days; Nebula -65 days; JW 60 days; IC 55-60 days; SS 56-63 days. I think I delayed them all a little with a calcium lockout, hence my leaving them a little longer, and the trichomes still not showing many amber at all. I'll prepare my drying boxes then go in for a main cola chop when I see a few more amber trichomes! Thanks! Happy Growing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyGrower Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Just now, g22 said: they look very good shag the calyxe are good inflate how long to the harvest ? Thanks @g22 Flowering numbers are: DD 63-70 days Nebula 60-65 days JW 60 days IC 55-60 days SS 56-63 days So JW is one day overdue. However, I'm pretty sure because of my treatment of them all with nute burn / nute lockout, they are delayed slightly. Tried to find answers on the internet regarding if a lockout of, say two weeks in flowering, extends the time to flower by ~ two weeks, or whether it's not as simple as that. I'm looking at trichomes, leaf/pistil colour, etc. Below is the Ice Cream bud all dried and ready for a light curing.

ShaggyGrower Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Day 62 of Flowering. Camera flash only as lights came on this morning. Colouring up nicely. Top left: DD; top right: Sensi Star; middle: Nebula; bottom left: Ice Cream: bottom right: Jacky White. Nebula is on drying-out-countdown-to-be-cut. Monday or Tuesday.

ShaggyGrower Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Tent redesign this morning in preparation for drying. Had a look through the garage for stuff to bodge with and found some old wine boxes and large whiteboard. Boxes are the right size to be able to leave enough space between lights and canopy tops. Boxes all the same height. I should get all my crop in those: Whiteboard makes it all nice and flat, and load-shares the weight: And plants go on top: And DD the last to slot in (the driest at 11.6kg) so I need access to water, and she's got the longest flowering (63-70 days, we're on Day 63 today): Cut a stem out of the middle of Nebula today (13.6kg) to give her some space in the middle, and to give me some Nebula bud to smoke this weekend when there's likely going to be a lot of work harvesting: Happy Growing & Smoking! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyGrower Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 A wizz around my tent (the WR are in there as well): Hope those hairs are going to smoke well ;-) (cats, and moi). Trichomes are mostly clear or cloudy still with only a few amber, so the lockout(s) have effected harvest date as I suspected. Many are over due. I will be patient. All the bud I have taken off and smoked so far has been lovely, so the plants have got over their over-feeding I think. I have a stem of Nebula and Dutch Dragon drying, so that will last me until I finally do harvest. Had about 18g dried so far off them (a bit of Ice Cream, Nebula and Dutch Dragon).

Guten Appetit and enjoy your harvest Thanks @Onionland and thanks for sticking through this grow with me . I wish I could puff-puff-pass to you. Yes, I'm getting VERY excited. I felt some pressure to finish them so the big tent would be available for the WR contest, but as it happens, there is no rush now so I'm going to let this five-strain grow go and go, especially the indica dominant strains. Just won a prize from Paradise Seeds (on Twitter) for my photo's so excited to see what they're going to send. Happy Growing & Smoking! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyGrower Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Nebula is fully harvested on Day 67 of flowering - YAY!! Here she is before (remember, about 6 cola have already been harvested, and half of that smoke, nom, nom, nom): Wet trimming: Then into a box with some string to hang them from. Trim went into bag and into freezer to make Bubble-Bag-Hash at the end of harvesting everything: Bare bones: Wave at your mother one last time, bud(dy): Happy Growing, Drying, Curing & Smoking! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyGrower Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Thanks @OG.Naj. Day 68 of flowering. Sensi Star came down today: Very chunky buds. I'm very happy I left it those extra weeks due to lockout. A very pleasurable time spent wet trimming. Seriously, it was lovely.: The right hand side are all very chunky top cola's, the left the bottom of those colas. The trim will go in the freezer and then next week I'll make bubble-bag hash with it. The weather next week looks very cold. Excellent! My full outside R/O water butt will full of frozen/very cold water which will be great for utilizing when making bubble-bag hash.

That's a nice amount for that good looking girl you got :3 Yummy! Hi @LedCherryBerry, Thanks! My aim was for 20oz (566g) for the full harvest in my bloated 1.2m2x2m. Only because it was a nice round HUGE number and I like setting very hard to reach goals. It was a test grow of sorts, ie, I deliberately over-nuted to see what would happen (learning). OK, learn a lot and that in turn caused some lockouts/burn. Nebula was supposed to be 60-65 days of flowering, but harvested on Day 67. Sensi Star was 56-63 days and harvested Day 68. Trichomes look perfect on Sensi Star. A little more amber than Nebula, which is fine by me as it's a 90% Indica so all about couch-locking stonerness (and may help my sister in law who has MS). Nebula is 60% Sativa. Dutch Dragon will be the last one pulled (63-70 days). Ice Cream may get harvested tomorrow (55-60 days - 60% Indica). Jacky White, the tallest with the largest bud circumference (60 Days - 75% Sativa) perhaps Monday. Happy Growing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyGrower Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Nebula dried, and now in jars for curing. 20g stems 28.05g very good popcorn 43.15g A-Buds I did not weigh the Top Cola's before I put them in the big jar. I will do at some point. Edit: I weighed the Top Colas the next day @ 72.5g. So total 143.7g bud with some snapped branches and one cut branchs' bud on top, so over 150g (5.3oz) in total. Sensi Star is drying nicely. A bit slower than Nebula as I'm trying slightly different methods with each strain (and I've only harvested two strains out of the five, so far). Happy Growing!
