This is the start of my 2nd grow. I am going with 2 strains, both from Greenpoint Seeds. They are regular seeds, so there is the chance (good chance really) that not all 4 of my seeds will sprout into females. Description taken from the GPS website: Tangerine Haze x Stardawg Chinook Haze – The mother of this strain is Devil’s Harvest Krew’s Tangerine Haze cut. Which has been a staple of the Colorado cannabis scene for over a decade. It uncannily smells like candied tangerines and is one of the earliest known cultivars with a pronounced citrus aroma/flavor. The intense tangerine aroma is complemented by notes of Listerine, vinegar, grapefruit, cedar, and a spiciness I associate with antique wooden chests. Consisting of a cross between G-13 Haze and New York City Diesel, Tangerine Haze is a short-flowering sativa that has acquired a cult-like fan following. Tangerine haze also has unusually heavy trichome production for a “Haze” plant. Chinook Haze’s Stardawg male brings down the flowering time as well as the physical stature of Tangerine Haze, making it easier to manage compared to her mother. Aromas should also be improved on, adding intensity, roadkill skunk, and offensive cannabis odors to the citrus of the Tangerine Haze. However, the Tangerine Haze proves dominant in this cross, and most phenotypes resemble the mother more than the Stardawg male. “The King Midas of cannabis, this male turns every lady he touches into gold” If you want citrus terpenes, an uplifting effect, respectable yields, good bag appeal and quick flowering, you’re asking for a tall order… Luckily, these are all satisfied by Chinook Haze! 6/2 - Within 24 hours, both seeds have broken ground, and pics started at 30 hours. Calling 6/2 day 1 for the Chinook Haze.

6/10 - I am calling them #1 and #2 right now, with #1 being the plant on the left, #2 on the right. The plants started a stretch while in the rubbermaid tote. They have now been moved into the tent, and I expect regular growth from here. When they are transplanted, they will have some of the stem buried. I am planning to mainline/manifold the plants when they get bigger. I figure scrogging the first grow, mainline this grow to get another method tried. While they were in the tote, it was warm, and the 'soil' Mother Earth Coco Peat had dried out fairly quickly, but now that it is in the tent, it is been 2 days since last watering, and medium still appears damp (the one on the right looks dry because I added a little bit more to support the stalk a bit. 6/12 - Watered today. The CH are definitely moving faster than the others. The #2 plant is ready to start its 3rd node, while the #1 is on its 2nd node. 6/15 - Growth is picking up. They looked borderline overwatered when I watered on the 12th, so I am waiting until at least tomorrow the 16th to water again. In the rubbermaid tote when I start them, it gets close to 90°, so at least the top/outside of the medium dries quicker, and I believe leads to the chance of overwatering. Now that they are in the tent, the temps are much more regulated, staying below 80° and during lights out going to upper 60s if I keep the AC on.

6/17 - Watered today. 5 days since last watering. Made sure to add water slowly to the cups, as the medium I'm using is a coco/peat based medium, and I realize that peat becomes hydrophobic when it dries out, and the top was close to that. By watering pretty slow, it allows more of it to be absorbed vs just running through. Both Chinook Haze plants have 3 nodes already, and are starting their 4th. 6/18 - I watered yesterday, then life hit, and the plants were without lights for just over 24 hours. Looks like the newer area started to yellow a bit, which I assume will green again within a day or two now that the lights are back on. 6/19 - Plants are looking good to me. There seems to be a lot less vein swelling, so it appears the chance of overwatering that looked like it was coming on a week ago is subsiding. Got to let them grow some more before I start to chop them up in an attempt to mainline. 6/21 - Plants will be watered tomorrow. Other than that, it is just slowly moving along, and I am considering going to 1g pots soon. I believe I am going to try to go from solo cup to 1g to 5g this time, and I think that by doing so, I might not need to fertilize at all during veg at least. I figure if I can get 3-4 weeks out of the solo cup, then similar out of a 1g, by the time I get to 5g, I will be close to 8-12 weeks, and close to flipping time. I have dimmed the lights a bit, and raised them close to 33" above the 2 Chinook Haze plants in hope to induce a little stretch between nodes, but they still seem to be growing fairly compact. 6/22 - Watered the plants today. Could have probably waited another day, but I figure 5 days between watering was enough, and the cups did feel pretty light.

6/24 - Going to be looking to transplant to 1-2 gallon pots this week. I will also need to purchase some more 'soil' and am currently debating staying with the Mother Earth Coco Peat, or possibly switching to FFOF. 6/27 - New shoes for the plants. I ended up going 2 gallon pots for them. Had to purchase a new bag of Mother Earth Coco Peat to fill them up. Got them transplanted, watered, and back into the tent. Giving some Big Foot Mycorrhizae a shot. I hear so many good things about mycorrhizae but many are $20+, and as a learner, I didn't want to go that expensive, but at $10, I'm giving it a shot. Made sure to add some to the hole in the new plant, and tried to get some to the roots but most just fell into the hole. Looking to get another 4 weeks or so (hopefully) out of these pots, then going to go into 5g fabric pot final home. There was some yellowing (more so on #1 than 2, but on both) of the bottom first set of real leaves, but I will chalk that up to 25 days in a solo cup with water only. I will continue to monitor though. 6/28 - A day later, the plants seems to be taking well to the transplant.

7/1 - Watered today, each given a 16.9 oz bottle of water. I will be topping and starting the work of creating the 'manifold' some day this week. 7/7 - Been super busy this week. Didn't even really get a chance to look at the plants for a couple days. They were watered today with 500mL of water, as well as topped/stripped to start the manifold. I took the tops and will try to create my first clones, but I basically just cut and put into solo cups filled with Mother Earth Coco Peat. Not really expecting much, but figure it is worth a shot.

7/9 - Plants are moving along after the removal of most of the plant, to start the manifold process. 7/11 - Both plants given 1L of water today. The growth of them since topping/trimming appears to be fantastic. It is my first time doing a manifold, but it seems to be going smoothly. These Chinook Haze appear to be about a week ahead of the Dreamcatcher plants that are growing in the same tent. 7/13 - Continuing the training/bending to grow them parallel to the ground until I can get 4 or so nodes to cut back to the 3rd and keep the 1st and 3rd as the arms to create 4 colas on each each side, 8 in total for the manifold.

7/15 - We are starting the 7th week or so of veg, probably off a couple days, but I want to keep both diaries on Monday week starts. I was going to water the plants today, but the pots still had some weight to them, so I will wait until tomorrow, which will be the 5th day from the last water. I also finally bought a pH pen (instead of drops), albeit a cheap Vivosun one, so that I will be able to hopefully accurately pH the water given to the plants. I think we are close to being able to let the Chinook Haze plants grow upward, I have hit the 3rd node out, and will let it go a bit more to see if the clones I have taken end up rooting, and if not, leave some growth to be able to be cloned again when trimming. 7/16 - Plants watered with 1L of water today. 7/17 - Plants looked perky today. Moving along. The fan leaf size seems to be getting pretty large too. It has been 11 days since I topped the plants, and the tops that I kept don't really look to be growing yet, but don't look to be dying either, so I will give them some more time to try to root and start growing. I have a friend that has a 'cloner', probably some aerocloner or something, that I may have come over when I top these end branches and have more material that can become clones. 7/21 - Watered with 1L of water today. Checked the pH with the new pen, and it was 6.1 when given. Tap water with some pH down added (.5mL for a gallon) was at ~140 ppm. Training of the manifold is almost complete, with upward growth and flipping to flower probably less than 3 weeks away.

7/22 - 8th week of veg is starting. I will say, while it finally looks like something that can come close (maybe 2 weeks or so) to being flipped to flower, this definitely seems slower than the veg into the scrog I used last time. 7/25 - Looking like they could use some water, which will be given tomorrow. Adjusted/tightened the strings training the branches down/out, and will start the upward growth after tomorrow. Also having a friend come over tomorrow and take cuts off the ends, so the manifold will be complete. 7/26 - Final top to create the manifold, and friend took some cuttings, so hopefully he will have some, and I plan to try some more, when I start some minor defoliation, after getting a few pointers from him. Plants were watered with 1 liter of water each, as well as top dressing with some more Mother Earth Coco Peat (the Chinook Haze were showing signs of deficiency, so I wanted to make sure they all get a little fresh mix). 7/28 - We reach the end of the 8th week of veg. Going to adjust the strings again tomorrow, and then it will likely be upward growth from here. Hopefully 2 or less weeks until I flip to flower.

7/29 - Week 9 of veg is starting. At this point, it is just let them grow up a few inches, and also fill out the pots some more with roots before transplanting to 5 gallon fabric pots (their final homes). I also plan on mixing a 'flower blend' soil to fill up the 5g pot around the rootball that is transplanted. This recipe for the soil is taken from MaximumYield: Enhanced fruit/flower potting soil recipe This soil recipe is designed for plants that are ready to fruit or flower. In particular, this recipe works great for ornamentals that are already in bloom and for fast-growing annuals that are entering their fruiting or flowering stage. Parenthesis indicate small changes or products I'm using. 1/2 cu. ft. (60 cups) sphagnum peat moss (Promix BX) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) coco coir (Mother Earth Coco Peat) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) compost (either compost or manure) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) perlite 10 cups pumice (likely to just use perlite here) 5 cups worm castings 3 cups bat guano (high phosphorus) 1 cup fish bone meal (using regular bone meal, got Jobe's Bone Meal) 1 cup oyster shell 1/2 cup seabird guano (likely to just add as the high phosporous guano) 1/4 cup alfalfa meal 1/4 cup fish meal (Down to Earth Fish Meal) 2 tbsp. langbeinite (Down to Earth Langeinite) 1 tbsp. glacier rock dust (Azomite ordered from Amazon) 7/30 - While technically the morning of 7/31, lights haven't gone out yet, so it is still the 30th ;) It almost hurts posting pictures today, because they were really thirsty, but I honestly hadn't looked at them for a couple days. Anywho, the plants were watered with ~1.25 liters of water each, about 90 minutes before lights out. Will be interesting to post the 7/31 photos after a couple hours of lights on, and see the difference in appearance. I also mixed the soil for flowering, and it will now have a couple weeks to 'cook' and become ready for the plants. I did make a mistake and accidentally added 1 cup of fish meal instead of 1/4 cup (oops), and the alfalfa meal just smelled too good, so I added 1/2 cup instead of 1/4. Hopefully those 2 'changes' don't add too much nitrogen for flower, but I imagine it won't. I also instead of adding perlite (didn't want to buy a 4 cu ft bag when I needed at most 2.5 gallons (1/3 cu ft), so I opted to add 1 gallon of pumice. Since the coco peat and promix both have perlite in them, I didn't want too much added. There were also some worms from the compost that made it into the tote that is now storing the mix, so life has already started in the soil. 7/31 - It wasn't just after lights on, as I didn't have time to photo earlier, but this is just about 24 hours after watering, and praying/looking good. I had noticed that it looked like the fan had slipped down the pole a bit, and was causing some wind burn/clawing of the leaves yesterday, which probably attributed to poor looks, but looking better today! While I am not that versed in checking preflowers, from what I can tell, if I had to guess, CH#1 could be either (maybe slightly leaning towards female, thought I might have saw a couple hairs), and the #2 actually looked male to me. 8/4 - After getting home from work, and realizing I hadn't checked on the plants in a couple days and I knew they were due for water either yesterday or today, I saw some THIRSTY plants. They each got ~1.2L of water, and also a quick trim back. After checking preflowers again, I am afraid that both Chinook plants may end up male :(

8/5 - While I am new to sexing plants off of preflowers, it does appear that both Chinook Haze plants are going to turn out male :( I am unsure whether to collect pollen, or wait til I have more space set up to do that (more than likely waiting, and chopping them down. 8/10 - Watered with ~1.5 liters of water today. Took out CH#2, as it was most definitely male, though CH#1 I feel like sometimes I look and I see hairs, sometimes not, so I will wait a bit longer. I have a gut feeling it will be male (so it isn't as prominent as the other female Dreamcatcher), but I don't want to close it down too early.

8/12 - Suspect this is a male, but going to keep it around a little bit longer. EDIT - After further review, appears to be female! I had saw a few preflowers that had appeared might have a hair coming out of them, but definitely didn't appear to be a pair, so I thought it could be male. I looked today after work, and found definitive female preflowers! I topped off the pot with a small mix of manure, worm castings, and some of the mother earth coco peat. The leaves are showing the faintest discoloration (likely a deficiency as I have been water only for 10 weeks now), so this last inch or so of topping I hope will provide enough into the roots with watering to last another week or so, until I transplant into their final home. I did happen to look at the roots of the plant I took out last week, and the roots had made it to the edge of the pot, but are by no means close to becoming rootbound. I am just looking for a little more vertical growth now before flipping to flower, to ensure that I don't get stuck with small colas. 8/14 - Watered today with close to 2L of water. 8/18 - Watered today, just before lights out, somewhere around 1.7L. I have made the decision to transplant this week, right before they need watered again (likely Thur or Friday) and will then flip to flower next monday, the start of the 13th week.

8/19 - The last week of veg starts now, as I will be transplanting later this week, before the next watering, into the final 5g fabric pot, and will be flipping to flower next Monday, 8/26. 8/21 - Tomorrow after work (a couple hours before lights out), I have decided is going to be the day that I transplant into their 5g final fabric pot, at which time they will be watered, and then flipped to flower on Monday (allows a couple days to acclimate before the transition). 8/22 - Transplanted around 2 hours before lights out. As you can see, the roots were doing well, and definitely was time for a transplant. I wouldn't call it rootbound, but definitely was ready for some new shoes. Watered with 1.75L of water at the time of transplant. I was going to remove the strings, but decided that one last adjustment before flower would probably be a good idea, so the clips and strings went back on the plants. Added some Big Foot mycorrhizae around the roots during transplant as well. 8/23 - Picture was taken about 15 hours after transplant. She appears to be taking to the transplant well. 8/25 - Timer has been switched now that the lights have been on for a bit today. Timer is now set for 8p-8a for lights on. Tomorrow will start a new week, also mark the first day of 12/12, so I will transition to the flower cycle, even though it will likely be a couple weeks before pistils develop. The exciting time is ahead.

8/26 - First day of 12/12 begins today. Lights not on until 8p. Within 2 weeks I expect to see the start of the flowers and some trichome development. 8/28 - Watered today, 2L, and trimmed the lowest growth remaining left (like bottom node or 2 on all 8 colas, which was all done after the pictures. 8/31 - There has been about a 2 inch stretch in first 5 days of flipping to 12/12 thus far. 9/1 - Since I failed to leave the cola's even (there is a slight difference between the heights), I will use a middle ground for height and distance from light. The plant great ~3.5" this first week of switch to 12/12.

9/3 - I thought I was going to have to water today but they aren't looking overly thirsty. Might catch them an hour or two before lights out, but if not, for sure tomorrow. 9/4 - Watered today (2L) and took the lowest couple nodes off each cola. Just a little upkeep. 9/5 - After the leaves looked down in the photo from yesterdays watering, today shows a perky, nice looking lady. I swear there is a growth spurt after each of the last 2 waterings, and she now sits at ~17 inches, with the tallest cola being just over 18". 9/8 - At the completion of the 2nd week from flip, she is ~18-19", up from 10" at the flip.

9/10 - Watered today, with 2L of water just before lights out. They should have been watered yesterday, but life won. Obviously showing signs of being thirsty, but I expect a quick rebound by the time the lights come on tomorrow. 9/11 - Looking much better and perky after yesterdays watering. 9/14 - The Chinook Haze plant is now about 22" tall now. Watered with 2L of water today since she looked thirsty, as well as slightly adjusting the colas, pulling them ever so slightly downward. At 22", we are near 100% stretch (doubling in height) since the switch to 12/12, almost 3 weeks ago. 9/15 - 3rd week of flower down, and the plant looks much better after watering yesterday. Since I have been doing water only, I haven't watered to runoff, and I think that I need to start watering at least a bit more going forward.

9/16 - Week 4 of flower is starting, and they are progressing well! 9/18 - Watered with 3L of water today, a couple hours away from lights out. Minor defoliation was done, with some of the lower and inner leaves removed. 9/21 - I plan to water with a 'tea' tomorrow, that I have started to brew. My local store didn't carry Roots Organic Terp Tea, but the lady recommended Down to Earth Bio Fish, which is very similar in ingredients. I bought the box, and am currently brewing what is probably just over a cup of worm castings along with 5 tablespoons of the Bio Fish, in 4 gallons of distilled water. I plan to water tomorrow with the straight tea. 9/22 - Watered with 2L of the tea. Will see tomorrow at the start of week 5 of flower, just how they like it. 9/22 - Watered with 2L of the tea.

9/23 - A new week of flower begins. The plant seems to have taken to the tea well. I hope the tea allows for some nutrient uptake, as there was the slightest bit of discoloration starting with some of the lower leaves. 9/25 - Flash photo of a flower just after lights out today. She still looks fairly immature (pistils standing high, light frost) for starting the 5th week of flower. Could be in for a long cycle if that is the case. 9/27 - She definitely needed water today, and got 2L a couple hours before lights out. Expect a much more attentive plant tomorrow. 9/28 - I noticed a leaf or two that is starting to get some purple coloring. I have also noticed that the lowest node or two of leaves around the plant are starting to yellow. I guess it is about time to top dress the soil (as much as I can, not that much really) with some worm castings, coco peat, and likely some leftover manure. I want to try to make sure that there is still some nutrients for the plants. For those that grow organics, (living soil, super soil, etc) I am curious as to when you typically see some discoloration, either from nutrients running low or even just the fall colors starting. Not sure when to really expect it. 9/29 - Got the picture to be a bit whiter today, thus showing the lower leaf yellowing a bit better. Top dressed the rest of the pot with some of the remaining soil mix left over from transplant. It was about 1/2-1" of room left, but the pots are now fill up, at least until it settles after next watering.

9/30 - 6th week of flower starts today. Couple of the leaves were starting to look down a bit, so I went ahead and watered today. Since I added a little soil, and I know that I hadn't been completely soaking the medium (being semi organic/living soil, I didn't want to regularly water to runoff), I went ahead an watered until the bottom of the fabric pot was starting to get wet. Ended up giving 3.4L of water, compared to the normal 2L I had been giving. Going forward, I will know to look to add at least 3L each watering now. Some of the yellowing leaves also fell off easy, so I just removed them. This plant definitely seems to have progressed slower than the Dreamcatcher (both listed as 70-80 day strains), as they were flipped at the same time, yet the Dreamcatcher has buds that look like they are almost formed now, just waiting to bulk, as well as pistils that aren't standing straight up, and also starting to show some color to them. I would expect this one to finish 2-3 weeks later than the Dreamcatcher, the way things look right now. 10/4 - Watered today, giving just under a gallon to the pot. Seemed to be closer to being the right amount, as there was no runoff. 10/6 - The end of the 6th week of flower is here. She seems to be doing fine. All the pistils still seem to be standing upright. From visuals (I am not even close to looking at trichomes) it looks like she could go another 2 months (I sure hope not), but I will just have to see how she progresses over the next couple weeks. It has been cooler recently, so I have finally turned the AC off for the room that houses the tent. I can now just open the door of the room (hottest room in the summer, coldest in the winter) and it remains cool enough to not need any AC.

10/7 - A new week of flower is upon us, starting the 7th week now. This Chinook plant is showing no signs of even remotely coming anywhere close to a finish. Those pistils are stranding tall and proud, and are showing little to no signs of coloring. Unless she is a fast finisher, there is plenty of time until she will be done. She is listed as a 70-80 day flower. It will probably be a while before I have to pull out the loupe to check the trichomes. 10/9 - No pictures yesterday as I wasn't around at all during lights on. 1g of water given today. 10/13 - 7th week of flower is done! Looks like she still has a long while to go. Definitely nothing to get excited for yet, as it feels like it could take 2 more months.

10/14 - A new week of flower begins. Watered today with just short of a gallon of water. Look forward to see what the next couple weeks bring, and hope that they start to show signs that they want to work on a finish. 10/17 - Looked back at the flower picture posted yesterday, caused me to take a closer eye in the tent. Appears the Chinook Haze is starting to purple around the flower fan leaves, at the most extreme edge, and barely visible when just looking at the plant. 10/18 - Watered today, just under a gallon. 10/20 - Week 8 is down. I have noticed a couple hairs starting to turn color, and emphasis on couple, as it isn't many. Still looks like a while to go for her.

10/21 - 9th week of flower is upon us. She seems to finally be getting a little more size to the colas, but the pistils sure are still standing up and looking like there is plenty of time still left. 10/24 - Watered today, with about a gallon given. I pulled out my DSLR today for a flower picture, and also tried to put the loupe up to the phone for a trichome picture, but it seemed to be a bit hard to get a good one. 10/27 - No picture(s) yesterday. Wasn't around during lights on. Another week complete. Feels like we are just moving along, waiting for some sign that the plant wants to start to finish. Moving onward.

10/28 - The 10th week of flower is upon us. Listed as a 70-80 day strain, she isn't going to come close to finishing in that time frame (64th day of flower now). Other than that, she appears to be moving along well. I plan to water tomorrow. One cola is really leaning, and needs to be staked, as she is having trouble supporting the weight. They are all getting a bit 'flimsy', but one has leaned over towards the Dreamcatcher in the tent. I would rather just use string, but I don't have an easy way to get it around the light and actually do it's job to support the flower. I am either going to grab some cheap wooden dowels and tie to them, or if I get the chance, I will run to the gardening store and grab some bamboo stakes. 10/29 - Watered today, 1 gallon given. Dowels were bought from Walmart, and are now staking the plant upright better. 11/3 - Week 10 is complete. She was given 1 gallon of water today. She is starting to color well, and I have noticed the calyxs starting to swell a bit. Some pistils are fading, maybe she will only have 2-4 weeks left, likely on the higher end.

11/4 - The 11th week of flower begins for the Chinook Haze. She is showing some wonderful coloring, and also finally starting to get more than a couple pistils to change color. Hoping to see some start to receded back to the bud over the next couple weeks, and hoping that she finishes within the next month. She is already going to take a little longer than I had hoped, and longer than the Dreamcatcher that flipped at the same time as her. 11/8 - Watered today, 1 gallon of water given. Still playing the waiting game, as we watch for pistils to change, and hopefully some amber trichomes. 11/10 - 11th week of flower is now complete. Unfortunately, not much clarity has been gained as to the anticipated finish of the Chinook Haze, still playing her week to week, expecting a month or so.

11/11 - 12th week of flower is now here. Not much to say, other than we are still going week to week. Nothing has really changed on the plant, though we do have a few orange/redding pistils, but not much other than that. No change in trichomes that can be spotted. 11/13 - Watered a gallon today. I'm contemplating going to 11 on 13 off lighting, and wondering if it might help her start to finish a little more. 11/17 - 12th week of flower is complete. Can't really say that she is that much closer to finishing, but she is still moving along. Looks like it could be a decent yield for her though.

11/18 - 13th week of flower starts today. She was supposed to be watered, but life happened at work today, and she is going to have to wait an extra day. She will get her gallon of water tomorrow after I get home from work. Its odd to me, that the smaller flower photod is from a lower nugget, and it appears to have more pistil coloration, and look closer to being done that the top flowers. She still looks to have many weeks left, but her colas are getting fat, and I am anxiously awaiting her finish. 11/19 - One gallon of water given today. Its odd to be that the small bud pictured, a lower bud, looks more done than the tops. I don't see any amber trichomes (don't expect to with the way she looks), but it does look mostly cloudy. 11/24 - 13th week of flower is complete. Moving onwards, and seeing just how long she will take.

11/25 - 14th week of flower is now under way. Added a small trichome shot. Can't see any amber, and still actually looks like I can see some clearish ones. Seems crazy to be at 13 complete weeks to look that way, but I can only respond to the plants readiness at this point. She was given near 1g of water today. 11/30 - 1g of water given today. 12/1 - Week 14 of flower is complete. No real sign of amber trichomes, but I can't imagine taking this much more than 2 more weeks, tops. I have dimmed the lights slightly, in hopes that it will help the plant finish. This has been an agonizing wait.

12/2 - 15th week of flower is here. I have made the executive decision that this is going to be the last week for the Chinook Haze. I look at the pistils, and the way the lower buds look, and think she is about done. The pic of a lower bud shows like 90% red pistils. I am pretty sure that growing up to about 12" from the light has caused her to foxtail and continue to spit out new growth, or something similar causing the top to not look finished. She was watered 2 days ago, I will likely chop in 3-5 days, letting her dry out as much as possible before chopping. 12/6 - She was chopped down today, day 103 of flower, after ~24 hours of darkness. Will update with the harvest information later after she has had some time to dry.

12/6 - She was chopped down today. 12/13 - Not much in the way of harvest photos, I apologize. The buds foxtailed, so they don't look the prettiest,but they got some frost, and were relatively easy to trim. I could possibly have left the plant to dry one more day, but I thought it was ready. The outsides were super crisp, but as I trimmed the cola back, the very inside still had some moisture. Nothing that opening the jars for an hour or so a day can't help resolve, but I imagine they will start to even out the moisture level quickly. 4 jars that should finish in another week somewhere around 110-114g of good buds, and 22g of lowers that I kept separately (since its drier, and I'm not picky, that is going to be my smoke for the next week while the Chinook finishes its dry/starts its cure, and I let the Dreamcatcher that I also grew age a bit more. 12/20 - Weighed it out after a week in the jars, and it stayed at 115.1g. I thought it might lose a bit more, but less than I thought, but managed to stay just over 4oz from one mainlined, foxtailed plant. I got just under 100g from the Dreamcatcher in the same tent, so just under 8 oz from half my tent. 1/2 - From a couple people that have smoked it, one said it probably was some of the better weed he has smoked in the last year or 2, another smelled it in a bag, and thought it was Sour D, so a gassy smell too it, and another guy came in, and first words out of his mouth were it's gassy in here. The buds came out very sticky, the high is good, and overall, I am pleased with the strain. Can't wait to try it again, and be prepared for a 3x stretch, and not get any foxtailing.
