FINALLY back in the states and pushing through my second grow. My first venture into cannabis cultivation in the Pacific tropics was super tough...quality cannabis supplies were almost nonexistent...Great to see what these genetics can do w/ the proper TLC.
Pure organic grow this time around and these two Amnesia Express (Phoenix Seeds) plants are loving life. Autumn fade in full-effect. Week 9 flower, trichomes are cloudy, waiting (impatiently) for the amber transition.
Much love to all -- Let me know what y'all think of this grow :)
Chopped both Amnesia Express mid-week 10 flower. Slow drying whole plants for 10-14 days @ 60F and 60% -- Slower the better :)
The smells coming from my dry closet are heavenly...Waiting for dry/cure is personally the most challenging part of growing cannabis!
Hi all -- Looking for some harvest advice. Amnesia Express advertises a 7 week flower timeline (Wk 10 fl now); however, still not showing any amber (Trichs cloudy). I can see the buds beginning to foxtail a bit, and wanted to hear from other growers. Chop w/ all cloudy or wait?
I Love what you've done to her, andI think Phoenix is an awesome underestimated breeder =)
If it was my plant I would listen to her and chop her on the next day you feel like it. She is ready. You really brought her to her best and what you describe as foxtail is to me the perfect looking buds where all calyxes have swollen to their best potential!! Once dried, she will be a queen and those buds will be top shelf! Bravo!
The look of these buds was really something -- Very happy w/ their shape and coloration. Unfortunately, I think I must've gone wrong somewhere in the drying process, because these went from perfect buds @ harvest to slightly dry and lacking scent/taste after curing (although slowly dried at 60% RH for a two-weeks).
**4 Month Update: She cured wonderfully. Very pleasantly surprised! Slight existential vibes 🤩☠️
Full post-harvest thoughts after cure and smoke :)
4/4/22 Update: After a 3-month cure, unfortunately, these buds lack a robust flavor and scent profile. The nose wasn't super loud while in late-flower, but they sure as hell looked like rockstars. The dry was 2-weeks @ 60%RH w/ an oscillating fan; however, they came out slightly dry and lacking a terpene punch, even though branches didn't have that "snap" when bending. Pulled early as the buds were drying out. W/ that said, the effects are lovely. Smooth, gentle, and chill.
AE #1: 84g premium flower (@ 16.6% THC), 73g dry trim (Cannabutter).
AE #2: 68g premium flower (@ 16.7% THC), 81g dry trim (Cannabutter -- Ghee).
AE #3: 37g premium flower.
@GODSGIFT_2005_JM, Ha! Well, thank you for the compliment, but I don't think you'll be impressed by my beginner equipment 😋 Link to the off-brand mic: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PVMRZQH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Honestly, taking a photo w/ this gear is more difficult than I'd hoped...I hold my breath to get stable shots, and the results are decent enough. Nothing compared to the professional photographer growers on this site!!
