1/17 Second set of leaves coming in.
1/18 gave plain water feeding to all plants
1/19 Girl Scout Cookies is about to pop her little head out. She replaced the Dinafem Sour Diesel that never germed. Gave first feeding to TB, she has slightly yellowed.
1/20 GSC popped her head out. Calling today day 1 for her. She's going to be 10 days behind everyone else. Fed BC and GG for first time as well. Moved cfls to 2 in distance. Added 4th 23w cfl. 92 total watts for 2.5 sq ft of space.
1/22 increased nutes with this feed. Plants are slightly yellowed and purple stems on THC Bomb.
Look at those big dark nuggets! Ive heard of a water cure, but never a "quick wash"! Thats neat. Bet its like the water cure but much faster. I wonder how flavor retention will stack up to an air cure. Can't wait for the smoke report
@Agronomist, I was a bit skeptical at first, but I saw too many trusted grower testimonials in other forums that I had to try it. The trichs really stood out after washing. The washing is supposed to enhance flavor by rinsing away 3.5 months of dust, over spray, insects, etc and create a smoother smoke. I sprayed diluted milk during flowering as a pm preventative (nasty cold rain rollled through for 3 straight days) so I wanted to ensure any residue was washed away.
The bud wash turned out great. It was unreal the amount of dust and debris that floated out of the buds. Drip dried the buds on a "clothes line" with a fan blowing over for 24hrs and dried out the excess moisture from the wash and then placed into my drying racks. Smoke was very smooth. Was an interesting experiment but not quite sure it was worth the extra effort. Maybe if you have a pet hair situation or really dusty grow area then I could see incorporating this into your harvest routine but I think it was a one time thing for myself.
Being 2560 miles away from my stash is rough, but I have met quite a few kind people here on Maui and have sampled some nice home grown intense sun raised buds. HI needs to get with the times
