We are really close now to harvesting the rest!! Estimating this week sometime to chop the remaining girls.
Bubba Kush #2 dried for 16 days then got her trimmed up and jarred. Visually looks really good, super frosty, a lot of nice orange hairs and a nice kind of lighter green color. A little disappointed with the smell, doesn't smell bad but just doesn't have a very potent odor to it. That should come back a little bit after a few weeks in the jars though hopefully. Probably could have improved had I been able to keep the dry room 5 degrees cooler throughout the entire dry. Was closer to 65 degrees most of the time (couldn't get it colder consistently) versus it should have been closer to 60 degrees. Smokes very very smooth, lots of kief, and burns nicely though. Got just over 300g off the one Bubba which was a nice surprise. Tried to get some nice close up shots of the nugs for viewing!
The White Widow's are really starting to show their fade. The trichomes have a few amber in there so she is probably ready just trying to hold out a few more days to see if a few more turn on the other Bubba Kush and the Big Body Gelati. The Bubba Kush #1 has some purple fade coming in and the trichomes are still primarily cloudy with some amber mixed in so that is probably ready as well but the Big Body Gelati is all cloudy still with only a few amber trichomes mixed in so was hoping to get a few more amber before chopping. Really would like to harvest all the rest at once as to not introduce new plants into the drying room after there were plants already drying in there as it will mess up the moisture/humidity levels.
Gave them just under 1 gallon of plain water yesterday and this might be the final watering they receive before chopping this week!!
@BudBoutique, Same! Wasn't able to train them as much as I'd like due to being unexpectedly out of town quite a bit during this run so curious how theyll turn out as they are almost too tall at this point lol.
You clearly know what you're doing, but I've never seen black or grey mycelium. You sure that mass of "good mycelium" isn't dead, a fruiting body, or a mold? Myc doesn't really lift above the substrate until its trying to fruit, and we wouldn't call the fruiting body myc.
Any chance at ID?
Also, damn, we really are in sync. I grew NLA last, WW now. Happily Minnesota organic grow!
@JazzBerries, I haven't seen it like that either and it didn't even occur that it could have been something besides mycelium and possibly be a mold but you could be right. I was out of town for a week right after this last update and that little ball in the photo has disappeared and there is no sign of it anymore. Plants are thriving still and no signs of mold or anything bad spreading so that is relieving. It definitely was more in the mulch layer versus being in the soil when it was visible though. Going to keep monitoring but it has disappeared at least for now. If it returns or I start seeing the plant getting "sick" I will update more.
Wow that is quite the coincidence lol! Thanks for the comment, and pointing out the mycelium/mold in the photo. Also happy growing to you as well! Will definitely follow along and wish you nothing but positive results to a fellow MN grower!
@Herbie101, Thanks man!! I really enjoy the cover crop too. Not only does it provide a nice visual aesthetic, it helps out in a number of other areas as well. Thanks again for following along!
@CannabisFarmerGuyDude, I love the idea and philosophy begind the living soil thing! I just need to learn my basics first, but its perfect to follow people along who work with it to learn. π I hope all will go well! Best of luck buddy!π±π
@Herbie101, Thanks man!! Appreciate the love and you following along! First time going full "Living Soil" and using Build A Soil products so really excited to see how things turn out and share with you all.
