LA Peyote Kush - Mars FC-4800 LED

LA Peyote Kush by Seedsman (@seedsman is official profile on GD) Procured from the Grower of the Month Contest, Thanks GD and Seedsman! Harveseted on: 98th day from sprout 53rd day of bloom These have been a treat to grow. Even the smaller plants have consistent buds. Density and smell etc are all very similar despite different structures present. Took one early due to concern with wpm problem, but i quickly got that under control and held off ont he rest. That extra week definitely helped with the more recent harvested plants. If you want high percentages of amber trichomes, you probably need to go 56-63 days. I don't want my weed knocking me out.. i do shit while high... i don't want some broken down used-to-be THC molecule, lol. FWIW, degradation starts when it is cloudy. Clear absolutely does not mean absent of THC nor low THC on its own. your eyes cannot resolve these things.. it's silly to think they can provide any useful information as to the contents of a trichome at any particular time... unless you got a GC machine in there? didn't think so. if you have research related to this, link it in comments... that's potentially real applicable knowledge you can bank on, unlike anecdotal nonsense that gets perpetuated for generations, like flushing at end of harvest. Second time i've used the bowl trimer for a harvest. It is sufficient for me. I've noticed much larger, heavier nugs do get caught up on the sides and the 'fingers' won't roll them (2 nugs i am holding in pictures are an example.). The platinum gelato didn't produce nugs like that, but LAPK did. Even though i snip off some nugs to reduce size of top colas, it was not enough. I had to reach in and push the heavier ones toward center anytime they got in a traffic jam along sides. Anyway, if considering a bowl trimmer, expect to pull of some ruffage when you break the buds up to smoke or pull out the pruners and clean them up if important to you. The later obviously doesn't save as much time and effort. These develop quickly. They will look like nugs early. Once they look like real nugs with retracted pistils etc, it takes about 2 weeks for aber to start showing up in a consistent manner. I probably took them down with 5-10% amber, but they've been ripe-looking for 10-14 days and not changing much externally since then. Auto-burping bucket for curing. A bucket(s) with gamma lid, a couple check valves, some 1/4" tubing, a couple top-hat grommets, an air pump and a drill... Easy enough to do. I've put a mesh bag around my air pump to help reduce any dust blown into bucket. First time trying this, so starting out with a 2-minute burp every 8 hours. Refresh that o2 and avoid anaerobic growth, which is the cause of bad smells and other bad outcomes. Defintiely need a commecial air pump if you want to run more than 1 or 2 buckets. Playing with manifold valves and such didn't do the trick. Need more psi to power through any minor difference in necessary pressure per bucket to pop all the check valves without issues. I'll do some dried nug shots later. I'll update any description of smoke too. A couple nugs from the plant harvested 9-10 days before are posted. The more recent plants won't have nearly as much hair. ______________________________________________________ This diary is sponsored by Mars Hydro.

Got a clone of a good specimen, will travel. Super dense nugs make for a medium to above average yield expectation. Good buds found deep into canopy. Easy trim with a good overall bud to leaf ratio. Worked well in a bowl trimmer with these 2 traits. After curing, smoke is smooth with a cool menthol-esque vibe on exhale. A little volatile with phenotypes, but the buds are very similar despite structural variance. Hungry plants. These girls may need 10% more N in the mix to avoid any cannibalization of lower leaves. With 3 other strains, i couldn't play mad scientist. While I got them nice and healthy, i'm curious just how much gas they can take.
