No issues with Bugs There was an excursion relating to hi-levels in run-off. That led to some containment issues. Otherwise its a Solid Steady grow. Into the 11th week, indoors
Love this light, had some issues with high canopy temps, that I had Not experienced before. Gotta review these condition changes, but this light is a performer
Sept 8th
Well the Colombian Gold (2nd batch) is finally hanging.
62-65f and a R.H. of 57% are the targeted conditions. Hoping for a minimum of 14 days…
14th
- doing a little tent search today, room-mates and bud-rot… it is a nice cold room! I’m sure it will have a positive impact on the Harvest and Cure! Kudos to Andrew and Sarah at Legacy Market Farm for talking me through it.
And you bet I snipped a day 6 Colombian Gold bud. Not N official report, but man I got really high, and not fucked-up. (Cutting the Lawn is next) Seriously delicious, and I’m surprised to say its an obvious Berry finish at this stage. Dry toke, Cloud of Berries. Blown away by taste and impact. Someone say Landrace?
Sept 15
- a week into the Hang and things are terrific. RH is steadier now that the bigger hanging plants have lost much of the initial moisture. Burning that bud proved its a precious crop, wow. Already I can say its the tastiest and strongest pot I’ve grown. Hoping its at least a week before any branches snap. Thats still going to be my main indicator.
- day 7 hanging, the plant has lost about 70% of its available moisture. The Colombian Gold plant weighs 143gr today. (plus the 5gr I grabbed yesterday) All seems in order, now its back in the cold-room
23rd
- day 15 and branches are ALMOST snapping. With a big work-load ahead; Colombian Gold gets trimmed today.
- Thats a Celebration

@1Right_Angle, I feel like we trouble-shot it fairly well I think you got it balanced out good with the tweaks you made. Now the sky is truly the limit for this lady, Again I will say it. " Here sir, Is the new honor & record of healthiest most lush green plant I have EVER seen " Hands over imaginary award ! 😁
Holy crap. This thing is gettin jiggy with it real quick. I CANNOT get over the leafs on this plant, Gotta be the most lush green I have ever seen period.
@1Right_Angle, from horticultural stand point no .if your trichs are ripe your good as your genetics is .if your worried about loosing terps lower day temp with light on .if you want go ahead but i would never do that
@Candog, does that make any sense to you. I’m glad LMF stepped-up and verified some actions.
I’m Not grumpy just asking if it makes any sense. It’s all about Forward.
Cheers Bro
@1Right_Angle, That is something to be proud of for sure. You should get a good quarter pound dry or just over maybe even. Let the dry happen as slow as possible. That little of plant matter, I wouldn't even put a dehu in there. Even on the dry I just did, Looking back I would not even use a dehu on that amount of weed and it would have happened even better. My experience scope is doing this in 8x40 sea cans literally jam packed with plants so the dehu was a must. But I am still figuring out lower plant counts & less plant matter exactly when you need that dehu in there as support to make sure nothing catches mold. But I feel the amount I just pulled down, You would NOT need a dehu on it. So that means so far up to around 12LB wet, No dehu.
@LegacyMarketFarm, Thanks, it was great to have ya tagging along. Amber is throughout, buds are super solid, and there are two much bigger room-mates arriving today/tomorrow. Week 11 of a 6 month grow... It had to start somewhere... Cheers
@amazongrow, the first attempt last winter sealed the pursuit. Ha. Simplicity rocks and this classic hit the spot. This batch had a run-in with a big skunk. Hope it takes a couple weeks to Air out
@CapnDankestein, I hope you have some Fun taking this Lady outside. And thats where she needs to be.
Growing this strain gave me a definite Victory in growing a strong Famous strain. And also left me feeling a little deflated, because the bud tasted of Grape when smoking it…
I do not ever remember there being a Grape taste in Colombian Gold.
I wrote to them asking for some
Clarification; Green House Seeds and they never bothered to respond.
So, I’ll never add another seed to my Collection of this Colombian Gold. I have 1 seed left, and it will be grown outside next Summer.
Its a great weed for a nice Sativa High, you can tell its got a good set of genetics inside… it has just gotten too far from the original host…
Gonna be super excited to see the final yield per plant you got a real good harvest & they are looking great already. I can smell them oozing through the screen
