2-August
The plant is ready for harvest! ๐
Checked the trichomes with the microscope, approx. 80% are milky now, approx. 15-20% are amber and brown.
So i flushed with pure water again today, and i will harvest my freaky plant in the next few days.๐
This time, after cutting the plant, i will hang up and dry the whole plant for 1-2 weeks and then i will do an โdry trimโ.
This will be my first trial to do an โdry trimโ.
Will be interesting, how much yield i will have - think it will be 10-20 grams - dry. We will see ๐๐
What an crazy grow .... ๐
============================
Update Monday 5-Aug
Did an last flush with pure water today, removed any few death and brown leaves, and checked trichomes again with the microscope.
Think there are more than 20% brown now. 90 % of the white trichomes are milky now, 10% clear.
Itโs time for harvesting and I will do this in 2 days. Today i harvested an small bud for an test๐
This plant is confusing me:
She has very small leaves, most of the leaves have only 3 fingers instead of 5 fingers, and all the leaves are little bit deformed (photos). She had never the big โsun-leavesโ.
Leaves were always yellow during the whole grow, sometimes they were white coloured, and in the best case they were light-green - but they had never the colour of an healthy looking green.
It will stay as an big secret, what has happened with this plant ...๐ถ
TEST:
Dried the test-bud with my vaporizer. Vaped beginning with 170 degrees. Whammm๐
What can i say.... never thaught that i can do any harvest with this plant, never thaught that any harvest will have any psychoactive effect... what an miracle....
The test bud is really good, if you know that this plant was nearly dead from the beginning of this grow.
And now i have a superb weed here - itโs not too heavy - but itโs an very good high. Very strong head-high - must be 70% sativa, itโs an very clear high, and my mind is very clear and creative. Few short moments of thinking paranoid, but not too much. I have no couch lock, and i can work on the computer without doing any mistakes๐ Iโm reading a book, and i can remember after reading 10 sides, what i have read (!)๐๐
Iโm really very very satisfied with my little freaky and crazy punky Gorilla Glue ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Good good good!
๐ thank you, who ever/whatever it was - thank you๐๐
Thank you to the community, who helped me very much and gave me good hints here in this diary ! THANK YOU!
๐๐๐๐๐
And now - I have to read again in my book now ๐๐ - i will report the harvest in a few days
๐
========================
Update 7-Aug - Day 162 - 2 days after testing an bud
The testbud was really great. My mind was completely clear again the day after, happy and good feeling too. Great weed! What an great weed this crazy and freaky plant has produced ๐
Now iโm preparing for the harvest:
today i have checked again the trichomes with the microscope, 20-30 % are amber now, the rest is milky, there are a few clear trichomes - now is the best moment for the harvest๐
Removed all death and brown leaves, then i moved the plant from outdoor to indoor, down to my cellar in the dark.
Plant will stay there for the next 24 hrs, then i will cut her and will hang up her for drying.
I will not do an โwet dreamโ this time. Because this grow was always an experimental grow from the beginning, i will try to do an โdry trimโ with this plant. I will hang up the whole plant for 1-2 weeks for drying, after then i will trim the buds and give them into the jars for curing. I want to know, how it works with an โdry trimโ.
Hello. I need your Opinion please. Because i always had a too high EC-value with my grows, i tested a completely new soil (Biomixx light), flushed the soil without any plant - and what a surprise: EC was 2.5! This is much too high for cannabis-grow, isn't it? I'm really confused
Biobizz uses organic fertiliser to prefertilise the soil.Organic fertiliser have a very high ec ( bigger parts than synthtic fertliser). You know what i mean=?Biobizz soil is a great soil to start a seedling , i never had issues. Its just the bigger Parts of the organic content that makes a high EC.
I personally dont use a ec meter in soil.
If i start a new fertiliser i dont know, i start with 25 percent of the recommended amount, then i add more if plant reacts well. And i only use fertiliser if plant shows adefiency.Biobizz soil is prefertilised so you need no fertiliser for minimum 4-5 weeks.
High Ec is in that medium no problem .
What may get a problem is to keep a automatic plant in a small pot
I start all my automatics after germination in a final pot filled with a nice prefertilised soil ( like biobizz)
@Mrs_Larimar, thank you for your quick reply and for your prayer :-)
Yes, i will let her grow, it's a new lab-plant from now ;-)
A new experiment, what's happening with completely yellow seedlings. Not so bad, i have a few more seeds at home ;-) Thank you.
@DaveG,oh man .... does not look very good......i would send a little prayer, but the sedling looks like 7 dys old , very humble and yellow, dont know if she will recover at all
From day 13 she started to look bad,yellowing from inside... not good
I have no clue what happens . let her grow and lets look if she recovers dont overwater ( 10-30 ml per day)
But i think she got a damage early...... so sad
Hi @Mrs_Larimar, may i kindly ask you another question please? My seedling looks very bad.
Have planted the seedling last week into the Biobizz light mix - soil, and since then the colour changes to yellow. (photos)
Since 3 days also the leaves are hanging down. I don' t know what the problem is, and i think, that my Biobizz soil is wrong or maybe it is bad ( please remember my last question with ec-value of my biobizz light.) Maybe the storage-situation of the soil was a wrong one. But the earth looks good, smells normal . Don't know.
Any idea from your side? Thank you very much for your help.
congratulations. you are Patience in Person. You have been so kindly to let her grow and document that for us, so this is my " HOPE_ DIARY" where i have to look if i mess something up. thy for sharing it
Thank You! @Mrs_Larimar, you helped me very much here, always good hints from you and you gave me the โprice for the patience๐โ
Itโs a very big pleasure for me that i have created an โhope-diaryโ as it was named by you ๐ and i can help with it, but,
also for me...
- everytime iโll get in troubles with any future grow, i can then read this diary.
I am an microdoser, so i do not need to have an very big outcome, i need 10 grams per year - so with this amount of green grass, itโs very easy to do a little bit experimental things beside the aim๐๐
This freaky grow will have outcome of 10 grams - i think so - thatโs enough for me for the next year ๐
Thank you again for your help and that following my diary always with very good comments๐๐๐๐
I agree its Unbelievable, and it shows how resiliant hemp is....this grow helps me alot not to give up on a plant... for me you earned an extra price for Patinience and Love to let her grow
@Mrs_Larimar, the same for me. I will never be scary again in future, if i will have a few yellow leaves at the next grows.
Thank you for the extra price ๐๐๐๐
๐ yes, hemp must be one of the strongest plants in nature.
What an crazy grow - now Iโm awaiting an small amount of yield. Some weeks ago i never thaught, that this will ever happen.๐ ๐
@Mrs_Larimar, yeah, youโre right. Thatโs an proof that hemp is very strong and the plants never give up. ๐ Never i will be scary again, if i have a few yellow leaves on my next grow๐
@Mrs_Larimar, yeah youโre right. This crazy grow is the best proof for showing the strong resilience of cannabis-plants .
So with my future grows, i will not get scared anymore, if there are some leaves, which become yellow ๐
a friend of me grow the gorilla too and they look different, and the like it to take very long to flower, and in the end it looks nearly poisony... neonyellow and neongreen , but the effects maan... i did some cookies and i went to sleep after.. heavy stuff
Dude your lamp is way too close to your plant. I would say germ a new one ๐ค pull your lamp up to 70-90cm from top pot. Use much more root in first 2/3 weeks โ๏ธ
yeah i tend to say she is burned.....very sad . .... i would go with another seed
i think you were right with the " bad batch" of soil .....its very sad
That's some crazy looking growth! Know it's not what you wanted unfortunately but fascinating to see none the less. Hope she pulls through and gives you some great buds
@Denzul, yeah itโs really an very crazy grow.
I donโt await any yield from this - itโs an experimental grow for me only, just to see, how strong these plants are. For me this is an miracle, that she has survived so far๐
All I can say about this plant it wow. Just looked through all 22 weeks off this grow and couldn't believe how well its come on from the beggining. U must have the patience of a saint, I would have tossed it way back around your week 3 or 4. I'm no expert but the cause of the white leaves early on could have been light bleaching from your light being way to close. Good luck with the remaining few weeks.
@hashy, Thank you for the comment๐ yes, i also thaught, that the reason for the white leaves must be light bleaching, but i tried it also to increase the distance to the light - didnโt help. Never mind, the plant has survived, and this grow shows, how strong hemp is. And it shows, that nobody should be worried about a few yellow leaves on a plant ๐
Never give up! We also had a plant that looked more dead than alive for most of her time. Every single leaf did turn yellow and brown after a few days and needed to get removed. But still the plant yielded 50 gram in the end and it was very, very good quality.
@Buddha2, I had an similary grow, half of the grow-time the plant was looking sick, many leaves became yellow, but at the end she brought me an nice yield with very good quality and the buds were full of many trychomes. ๐
It seems, that the more stress she has, the better is the quality of the trychomes.
And we can learn from these plants: never give up - as you said ๐
