Hey all. First time growing. Popped this girl June 28. Thought she was ready for flower end of July and switched to 12/12 light. She stretched for another 4 weeks before I saw flowers. I attribute the delay to her being too warm ( 30*C+ ) and a possible light leak during scheduled dark. Either way she is looking well lots of sugar and a dreamy citrus-y earthy aroma.
This started out as more of a throw-the-seed-in-the-pot kinda thing and see what happens, to hey this thing is really gonna go so now I have to learn all I can about how to get a proper grow and harvest.
I fed her regular and flushing her regular once every other week during her veg cycle, then once I switched to 12/12 and began upping her nutes I began flushing her weekly.
Most of my focus so far has been growing. Any harvesting/curing/hash recipes/tips out there aside from dark and cool? I know whiskey mellows with age. Are there methods that affect or enhance taste and smoothness?
Hello ! One of the most common tips to get rid of chlorophyle and to devolep a better taste & higher thc level is to keep your plant in the dark during 72h at least ( with a good airflow to avoid mold ) , this step will low the chlorophyle level in your leaves ( chlorophyle is ressonsible for bad taste ) , then after that step you can go for drying in a dark place with good airflow and low humidity level ( use a fan to improve airflow , 21°C and 50% humidity is the sweet spot ). Then after the drying process come the curing : it will bring out flavors , get you rid of the last chlorophyle traces in your buds and can improve potency. To make a good curing you will need to put your final product into jars during at least 2 weeks ( a month is better ) and open them 10 to 15 min a day during that period ( store your jars in a dark place , keep your but far from lights) and maybe use some boveda humidity packs to keep you himidity at the same level. I hope it will help you to make a good curing 😁👍
Keep losing power these last couple weeks for random reasons. The latest was a storm. All you can do is adjust the timer and move on. I don’t see any effects one way or the other.
We are heading into the homestretch here. I’m gonna feed her for a few more days then cut nutes. I managed to collect some rainwater so I will be using that for the next few finishing weeks to flush her. Good times.
Wild week. AC went down for about 8 hours. She got real stinky there for a bit. Temps back under control got it set at 19/67 degrees. I cut nutes although I am still seeing flowers so not sure if this is too early or not. It seems the widow likes to take her sweet time about things so I may need to feed her a bit more. I’ve been watching the trichs pretty close I expect her to start getting more frost here too so I’ll be a bit more obsessed as these next couple weeks tick by.
Well for better or worse I cut nutes. Still growing bud and putting on weight. Except for topping her, I pretty much let her do her thing. I will def look at different pruning methods for the next go. Probably expand the grow area as well. 4x4 gets mighty tight these days.
Ok bad call, went back to nutes after seeing so many flowers I figured I best start feeding her again. He day after I restarted she gained massive weight, so much so that i had to start redo my support system Get those buds back in the light!!
Well hell it was a quiet uneventful week for a change. I am seeing more and more milky trichs. She is still flowering but I can see that is coming to a close as well. Her citrusy pine scent is very noticeable but not overwhelming, which is one of the reasons I chose this strain to keep it on the DL. Getting closer!!
Leaves are turning yellow or rather starting to. I’m still seeing a few flowers on each bud. In a few days I will start flushing her and prepping for harvest. Thanks for checking in guys!
Another uneventful week. Temps here have dropped drastically which in turn causes the greenhouse to drop much more than previously anticipated. I’m in it for the duration, I don’t see any negative effects and she’s is still sucking down the water and putting on weight. I’m guessing the lower temps may slow her down more and looking at some of the outdoor ww grows on here... gonna keep a close eye on her and keep flushing her. Lot more milky!!!
Well another good week. Should be final week. She is looking good and the trichs are really thickening up. Temps are down to about 15c nightly. I am not seeing any cold stress except for her foliage is turning yellow, very pretty. the buds are developing nicely and starting to see amber here and there. IM thinking last week But we shall see. Later
Taking notes on my greenhouse faults and weaknesses. Too much influence from the exterior weather is the main issue. She is still flowering and still growing bud.
Broke down and got me a loupe, lots of milky yet some clear some amber. Got the nighttime temps stabilized. All the fan leaves have died off aannnnd she’s still flowering and growing buds.
I actually chopped her on the 24th of December. So there were a couple more weeks of waiting here. Wound up with a gnat problem the last couple of weeks as well. After about 2 days of dark I went in and cut her down and removed the pot and soil. Gonna have to figure out how to prevent that going forward. After looking at her root structure it didn’t have a very well developed or deep penetration system. I am gonna have to get a system in place and learn scrog method.
All in all this is a fine smoke. Better than or equal to some of the best I’ve had 💨. I may give it another go here in a few after this has finished drying and then I want to expand the greenhouse some and rewire it.
Thanks for all your support and advice all. ✌️
