So on day 102, I took these last photos in readiness for the chop the next day.
The harvesting was reasonably easy, each stem had a fat cola on it, and so I just cut the stems off near the base, snipped off any side branches and pulled out any crispy leaves out by hand.
There wasn't many big leaves left really, just trichome encrusted sweetleaf, I manicured them using clippers, and hung them in batches. The main stems were just hung directly while the side branches were clipped to 'sock hangers'.
It probably would have taken less time if I pulled my finger out and rolled less scissor hash enriched joints!
The final shots of the gigantic White Widow XXL before she came down show how massive she is, and from slightly different angles, you can see the huge amount of thick bud she's produced.
The view from above shows solid bud way beyond the main cola.
The main cola itself is a good size.... longer than a Bluelab Truncheon!
She was left to dry hanging in a few cardboard boxes ready for the final weigh in..... drum roll please......
Thank you for sharing that Diary with us... its very detailed and good to read. I like it if you share your thoughts .. maan..... Coco-coir growing at its finest........Chapeau
Thanks for your kind words @Mrs_Larimar, I'm pleased you enjoyed my Diary, I can't wait to get all this bud cured so I can do a smoke report and enjoy the fruits of my labour!
DZamn!! I've got two XXL Amnesia autos going in a 4*4 with 4 other pots -- I am gonna be pushing my walls out!!
I love your detail! Looks great! What size room/tent are you in?
.
Good luck through the finish!
@Benji, thanks for posting mate. I use a 1.4m x 1.4m wide 2m high tent.... usually grow 4 in a go, all in 20L coco airpots. Sounds similar to your set up!
You better get the chainsaw ready, I've just finished this grow, and the posts are coming soon.... you'll see what Dinafem mean when they say XXL!
All the best!
Your 2 diaries are inspiring - I had no idea autos could yield like that! Amazing.
Are you happy with the Skyline 400? I'm thinking of getting a couple - already have two Telos 008 lights and I need four lights in total. Thought it would be good to source from a couple of different manufacturers, rather than four the same. The Telos 008 lights are great though. Would love to know how you have found the Skylines (although pretty obvious from those yields!!!)
