Great strain, great grow. Can't believe this one lasted until Oct. 20 before starting harvest. The last flowers came down Nov 22 frozen and covered in snow.
Great Grow! After over half a year of care it was tough to cut down these plants. But it was a great harvest with ~3lbs of tops and another 3 of popcorn (all strains). Time to start sifting and heat up the press. π
Smoke review
Feb 2022: After Close to a Year of growing, harvesting, drying, curing, and processing the 2021 harvest is finally in the history books.
All of the extracts are sourced from dry cured flower other than the Bubblegum Live resin hash.
Rosin extracts were made from each of the harvest strains plus a trim run. Rosin used 90mic bags 150F and 4k pressure.
Hash was made from Bubblegum Live resin and mixed strain dry and cured flower. The Bubblegum stayed on the stalk, outdoors until Nov 22. It lived through freezing temperatures and two snowfalls and then straight to the Bubblehash bags. Hash was separated by 33mic and 73mic bags.
Kept a number of grams of dry sift, all strains mixed together and run through a 75mic screen.
The last and longest step was the honey oil which is a CO2 extract of the prime Gemstone and Power Puff Girl flower with a few Mandarin Cookies Tops added for good measure.
@TrickOrTrip, thanks I appreciate the comment π It's risky starting ahead of the end of frost date but they are a hardy plant. The 2 I left outside appear to have withstood the 2C temps no problem. Looking forward to some Heat!
Such a beautiful garden; big and bushy πΏ
I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your grow, Iβm sure you will have your hands full come harvest time.
@Grisly, yes!
Iβm in that boat with you my friend!
Itβs a lot of fun and a lot of diligence to get them to grow into giants like these; but the gamble and effort is worth it when you get to pull in a huge crop at the end ππ€
@Themythicalchristine, Thanks and here's hoping. Great fun to grow them big! I like the gamble and possible Big payoff as the long haul comes down to a bit of luck and good weather in the last 2 weeks π
Not gonna lie I am 1) Jealous of the patience to veg 16 weeks I've only gone as far as 10, 2)The fat stalks with bark and the presumed harvest at the end. This is ridiculously awesome!
@cfstan85, Nothing special, just the initial topping and time. I'm counting on them getting larger still. The gemstone is > 2" in diameter at this point π
@linassof, Advanced Nutrients are added to the water at the max recommended amounts. I'm only fertilizing the plants in containers with 100% Promix. Typically watering 2 or 3 times a week dependent on rain and temperature. The 2 plants in soil are feeding off a layer of dry fertilizer and compost. π
