12/5/2021 (F56) - Not yet at ripening stage? Thought we'd see them plump up a bit more by now, but did have to support a few more branches with yoyos. This is their 3rd week on highest liquid koolbloom dose (2.5ml/g) and will probably switch to the dry koolbloom in couple days. Really want this stuff in jars before christmas (got some visitors coming). Don't know if that'll happen.
For the kief extraction, followed instructions on video at https://www.growweedeasy.com/dry-ice-hash, using 2 bubble bags - 90 micron and 220 micron. Would have used the 75 micron instead of 90, but that bag is still gunked up from using ice+water extraction method. Pinched apart 2.7 oz of bud and mixed with 3 lb of dry ice in 5 gallon bucket (probably could have used 4 oz product with this amount of dry ice). End kief amount was 6 grams from 90 micron bag and 20 grams from 220 bag. Jammed kief into pollen press, tightened, placed press in oven at 250F for 10 minutes, and then tightened press again. Not sure of this last part. Don't think most put in oven, but it worked. Needed some jars free for this harvest anyhow.
I am just rolling onto week 2 with my seedsman white widow seeds. your plants are significantly larger. are you really giving them nutrients at week 2?? and whats the reason for using so much bloom in the seedling stage? Your plants are looking crazy already man happy growing
@GreatWhiteNorth,
Hiya. Using "H3ad's formula" which is 6 ml micro / 9 ml bloom (and skips FloraGro) almost from start to finish, and it's a bit different than the normal GH flora series drain-to-waste schedule. Wasn't quite at full strength during week 2 and had to ramp it up slowly to that level. Best of luck with your grow.
Hey there IMHO I wouldn't change the light cycle now. Your plants are used to there schedule and changing it would cause major stress and run the risk of self pollination ie nanners. I've done it and every time I ended up with stressed out plants that wanted to pollinate themselves in a last ditch effort to preserve genetics
CHEERS!!!
