Blueberry Muffin

28 Jul 2021 HARVEST DAY!! I want to start by thanking Humboldt Seed Company for producing the seeds that created this marvelous plant! Absolutely awesome genetics! 🏆🏆🏆 First rate quality product through and through!! I also want to thank fellow grower, and friend, Buddabud, for gifting me this wonderful clone that grew so well! Thanks brother! 28 Jul 2021 Today I finally harvested my Blueberry Muffin plant from Humboldt Seed Company. This plant has been a learning experience in many ways. Don’t worry, I’m not about to start listing everything here. That’s for me and my knowledge toolbox. I was able to cut down the entire plant in about 20 minutes, and get all her buds stacked quite nicely on a single foil covered cookie sheet. This was a change because my first plant had to be done over two days due to its large size. This was easy by comparison! 28-29 Jul 2021 I trimmed all of the buds overnight. ALL NIGHT! So in the morning I was able to get the wet weight done before hanging my beautiful buds up to dry. I’ll cover the weight all at once later on. I was much smarter with my trim as well this time around. Once I had the all of the buds hung up in the large tent to dry, I took all of my trim and spread it out on the foil covered cookie sheet that once held the trimmed bud and stuck it outside to dry in the sun. I went out several times over about 4 hours and mixed the trim up so it would dry evenly. Once it was all dry, I took out any of the larger leaves and threw them out. The total weight of my dry trim was 1.355 ounces. Can’t wait to make some edibles out of that. Even the trim smells like blueberry muffins! Fast forward 7.5 days. 05 Aug 2021 I left the bud hanging to dry from early morning on July 29th to late afternoon on August 5th. She looked wonderful! I took all the bud down and prepared to get the weight of the harvest. Now, if this is the first diary of mine that you’re looking at, allow me to explain my weighing method. First, I trim all of my bud to prepare it to hang up to dry. Once it’s all trimmed, I weigh it to get the weight of the bud wet. I weigh it while it’s still on the branch/stem so it can be hung up to dry. Once it is dry, I weigh it again the exact same way so that I can see the exact change in weight from wet to dry. After I do that, I separate all the bud from the branches and stems and then weigh it again for the TRUE weight of the harvest. My weights went as follows: Trimmed, wet bud on branches = 7.92 oz (224.528g) Trimmed, dry bud on branches = 2.862 oz (81.136g) Actual HARVEST weight (buds alone) = 2.17 oz (61.518g) I must admit; I have no idea if this is a good harvest or not. This is only my second full harvest, and my first plant was an absolute beast that yielded 7.91 oz of DRY bud! This plant weighed 7.92 ounces WET! To go from one plant yielding 7.91 ounces to another giving me 2.17 ounces is a big difference!, but I know that my first plant was unusually large! Next I put all the loose bud into quart sized mason jars with individual hygrometers inside to keep track of the humidity while I cure the bud. I’m thinking of switching them to pint sized jars because it only filled two quart sized jars up about half way. What I’ve read says that you should fill the jars up to about 75% capacity to properly cure it. I don’t know if only being a little more than 50% full is going to effect the cure or not. 🤷‍♂️ I’ll figure it out eventually. (*I just went ahead and switched to pint sized jars which filled 3 jars 75% full as recommended.) 06 Aug 2021 This plant produced challenges for me the whole step of the way! Mainly because it started out as a clone, and not from a seed. My only previous experience was growing a plant from a seed, and cultivating it to maturity. As a clone, this beautiful plant was already mature from the start. My mistake was not recognizing it from the beginning which made my feeding plan a jumbling mess! I was feeding as if it was maturing slowly, but it was already mature. I also didn’t take into account the proper flowering time as documented by the seed company. [ * For anyone actually reading this… IF the seed company says that their strain takes a specific amount of time to flower; TRUST THEM!!! THEY know better than YOU!] With my very limited experience, I had difficulty in identifying a plant that was ready for harvest on sight alone. However, I was smart enough to recognize that she WAS ready once I looked at her trichome development. Under the microscope, her true beauty was revealed, and I was shocked! I went from giving her mid-bloom nutrients to flushing in a period of 5 days! Needless to say, it all turned out well enough in the end. This was an absolutely beautiful plant! Her smell is amazing, and is the most aptly named strain I have seen or smelled so far. She smells like blueberry muffins! Her buds almost took on a uniform pinkish, blue/purple hue at the tops of her buds, and a lighter mix on the lower branches. Her dry buds are tight and compact, and show the mix of green, and pinkish/purple colors throughout. She has some nice large nuggets, but even the small ones share the same colors, smells, and dense quality. I’m very thankful that this plant gave me three clones that rooted, and are growing well. Check out my Blueberry Muffin Trio grow diary if you’re interested. I plan to cure it for at least two weeks before trying it for the smoke report. So, for now, this concludes the grow diary for my Blueberry Muffin by Humboldt Seed Company. It has truly been both a challenge, and a pleasure growing this strain! 09 Aug 2021 OFFICIAL SMOKE REPORT Apparently my wife did not approve of my timeline and insisted that I “grind some of that sweet smelling weed so we can try it!” She didn’t want to wait, so of course…. Happy Wife, Happy Life! Let me start by saying, that this is the best smelling weed I personally have had the chance to smell. Granted, I admit my limited experience in time smoking weed, but I have hardly ever smoked the same strain more than just a few grams worth at a time. This beauty doesn’t really smell like marijuana as we normally think of it. It smells like ground up fruit, berries, but with weed texture. It’s really awesome! Oh! By the way, my mind is ABLAZE right now while I’m writing this; so forgive any mistypes or other hair brained foolery. Back to the smoke report.. It tastes like blueberry muffins. There, I said it. But, it’s totally true! It also tastes fruity, sweet, with a earthy sweet finish. It is super smooth! FYI, both my wife and I are non-smokers, and it is SmOOOth! Very pleasant. If you rub your tongue on the back of your teeth at the exhale you can taste the blueberry muffin clearly. It’s same grade A tasty bud!! 🏆 It smells great! It tastes great! But how does it make you feel you may ask? Allow me to tell you a tale… I was sitting on my deck with my wife, and after a couple of hits, she looks at me and says, “Maybe it will be better in a couple of weeks.” At that moment I was thinking the same thing. Then it started….. slowly at first, very slowly. You feel it first right in the middle of your forehead. The best way I can describe this is: Try to imagine your head is hollow and is being filled by (who knows, but I’d like to image water, or light.) something, pouring into you through your forehead. You feel it filling you up from the chin, until your hollow head is full. Then it’s a watershed, all over your body, running down the neck, to shoulders, arms, and a wave over your whole body to the toes. My wife was reclining back in her chair and described it as connecting her brain to her whole body, and she could feel every small sensation all at once. I concur! I am chilled the Fuck out! All my pain is gone; and I live with pain daily. Weed, and a one a day Celebrex are my only pain treatment. My mind is, as I mentioned at the beginning, ABLAZE!! I could tell you how many times I’ve had to stop making this sound like an adventure novel, but believe me, I’m stopping and thinking of shit as I write this and I’m just trying to keep it coherent. If you like weed that sets your creativity ablaze, then look no further! Wow! This is some good shit! I keep telling myself that it has only been curing for three, yes, 3 days! It’s just going to get better!! I can’t wait, and I’m so glad that she gave me three healthy clones that are growing well right now! This concludes the smoke report. I think. I still have to proofread and edit, and ….. You all know. Thank you for taking the time to review my grow diary for this wonderful plant! Happy growing everyone!! The_Good_Twin
