I performed some lst and topped the last one. A bit late I know and probably a mistake but imma risk taker 😆. So far so good the fungus gnat problem from last time is under control.
Missed a week due to mental health. Just couldn't bring myself to really do much. Work had been rough lately. Working 6-7 days a week. Finally found some me time today. Did the dishes and worked in the garden for ~2 hours. It's been a great night caring for these lovely ladies.
I've been doing some quick dries on the ILGM Bubblegum Auto, and sampling the smoke. Nice buzz. When I dry it slow, then it's really-sweet tasting. I pulled a few popcorn buds from the bottom, and put them on top of my LED driver to dry for 1-2 days...then smoked 'em. If I dry 'em for longer then they lose some of the terps. I've been taking some larger bud samples from my tops, drying them for 1-2 days, then grinding them. Those make for some good smoke, you're gonna love it. I'm gonna wait at least one more week for main harvest, only about 50% of my trichomes are cloudy. I think this strain needs 15-16 weeks to fully-mature.
@Eagle680, thanks for the tips for drying it's something I've only recently been improving. Have had a hard time not over drying my buds. Really sucks smoking hay! Hahaha
It def making her way to week 16 at least. getting ~800 ppfd I'm hoping she stacks really well.
I dried my Colorado cookies for a couple days and jarred em but they were dry enough so I air dried em a for 2 more days and it seems to have worked. I pop the mason jar and smell sweet candy. When I break the bud down the terps explode out filling the room. I think it's going on week 3-4 of cure?
I see you're doing Jack Herer auto too. My Jack Herer about 3-4 weeks old now. I'm trying mainlining and I've just chopped everything. Will post some pics and a diary soon so you can follow my progress and compare.
