First off, a big thank you to Weedseedsexpress for sponsoring this grow and partnering with me to make this run happen. This plant was a great pleasure to grow.
From the beginning this girl germinated and sprouted very fast. Out of the gate she was robust and a fast grower. She took the topping and LST like a champ and didn’t ever look like she skipped a beat. These are some really fat top colas. The smell she gives off is amazing.
I can’t wait to see how this Ghost Train Haze smokes. Super excited to see how that will go.
This was my first proper run using Gaia Green. Overall fairly happy with the results. Though I need to make a few adjustments to my approach on my next run.
Welcome back amigos!!! This is effectively the beginning of the end. The work isn’t over yet we still have to dry, trim prison and cure. Thank you to those who’ve followed along and showed much love throughout the grow. You guys are awesome and I appreciate you guys.
Monday - Harvest
6 January 25
- Trimmed up most of the fan leaves.
- Chopped her down.
- Hung to dry.
- Drying conditions aren’t the most ideal as it is very dry in my house.
- It is what it is.
- Just have to roll with what we got and adjust how long she dries for.
- Now we play hurry up and wait until it’s time to trim.
- As for the wet weight I put 1 as a place holder. I really don’t care about wet weight and I think it’s a stupid metric. Dry weight is all I care about.
SATURDAY
11 January 25
Trimming and jarring day.
She tipped the scale at 186.5 grams.
Unfortunately the drying conditions were not the best as my house is way too dry. I wasn’t able to get above 38% RH. So it’s definitely over dried. I probably lost a lot of flavour and terpenes.
So all I can do at this point is try to rehydrate the buds in the jars with Boveda packs and just carry on with the curing process. It is what it is and I just have to accept the outcome.
All in all, still super happy with the results as this is the most grams I have pulled from a single plant.
Indeed- Fuck wet weight.. like wtf.
Congratulations on the harvest. Can’t wait to see what you have to say after both are good to go. Interested on the results
@Krisis, thanks girl friend!!
right?! Who gives a crap for wet weight?? I don’t. Ophelia is going to go a bit longer as the breeder recommends nine to eleven weeks of flowering. As for this girl I was definitely in the window. I’m excited to try these two girls out.
@WeedSeedsExpress, awwwwwwww yeah!!!! Thank you so much for the kind words!!
Again a huge thank you for offering me the opportunity to grow some of your genetics. She truly was a pleasure to grow.
I can only hope the permanent marker or gmo turn out like this did for u! Well done my friend !!
I agree with the "wet weight" metric , one that could be gone away with lose like 75% depending how u wet weigh lol silly to me.
But again, great job here and all the best to you n 2025!!
@Grow4Releaf, thanks for the kind words man I appreciate the love.
I think your girls will do you right. You’ve got some nice grows in your profile. I definitely think you got this.
Yeah down with wet weight!!! Lol.
Plus how do you even put a chopped plant on a small scale to even get an accurate weight? And it has all the stem too. I’m not wasting my time on something stupid.
Looks great. Nice diary and pictures. Where I'm at the RH in my house is now around low 50s so I too have to be careful with drying harvested plants now. Sucks that most of the external terps prob evaporated off. But at least you can smell the greatness once they're grinded up. And hopefully you don't have any bud rot. Nice looking fat nugs.
@Dabking, Thanks brother!! Yeah this was my best performing plant yet. She still does smell great but yeah it lost some flavour during the brutal drying conditions. But I’m trying to rectify that in the jars with re introducing humidity to cure it. I’ve already smoked a few joints of it and it is a wonderful smoke still. My next plant I’m gonna try using a bigger humidifier unit in my flower room and it’s a significantly smaller room than used to dry this one so hopefully I’ll be able to control the drying process better for Ophelia. Yeah there’s zero bud rot anywhere on this one. Unfortunately during the winters here it gets really dry in the house, it is what it is and push on.
@jbtju, haha thanks brother. Yeah she turned out really nice. When push comes to shove I’m not on a very high level man. Just a regular dude trying my best. I’ve been told by an other user that I suck, I completely fucked up this run, my plants are overfed and underfed. I should be discouraged from growing and I’m also stupid for putting sativas in tent. Thanks for the kind words bro.
@BarneyRumble420, Happy New Year brother, how are things??!Thank you very much, she really was a pleasure to grow. Unfortunately drying conditions aren’t the most optimal but it is what it is. I’m super excited to see how it smokes.
@gottagrowsometime, thank you very much!! That means a lot coming from you. I really appreciate the kind words. I’m probably looking to harvest Monday I think. Weedseedsexpress says 8 to 9 weeks of flowering. So we’re getting close. Thanks for stopping by 🤙
@Hempface86, it smells absolutely wonderful too. Getting close to the end with this girl. About an other two weeks to go. Ophelia will probably go about an other 3-4 weeks.
@PenguPoop, yeah man I’m so looking forward to this strain. Both are going to be great. I can’t wait. Should be ready to smoke by March or early April.
@Hempface86, thanks bro. Yeah Helena is definitely turning into a monster. Hopefully I can keep these girls happy until the end a finally have a grow that didn’t have any issues.
@Hempface86, thanks brother. I messed up a little last night and tweaked one of her branches at the knuckle it split a little bit. I’m not too worried though she’ll send some resources to that location to patch things up and she’ll be stronger down the road.
