I have no idea why the Canuck stalled its growth once flowering started. The harvested plant was essentially one big bud. It only developed one set of branches and stretched very little after the preflowers appeared. Harvest and drying was pretty straightforward. Once it was dry to touch and starting to wilt I kept it hung in deep shade. I had great weather for about eight days. When rain threatened I brought it into a humidity controlled area and trimmed buds off the stem. I left the bag open with air circulation in the room overnight and as it felt quite dry the next morning I closed the bag. It was opened and buds stirred once a day for five more days. RH was kept around 60% to keep it from drying too fast. Once the buds were crispy on the outside and the stems cracked I trimmed and jarred it. Yield was 21 grams clean bud and 11 grams of sugar leaf and popcorn.
My job doesn’t allow me to to test smoke any... need to wait for a few days off in a row to partake. As soon as I can though I’ll come back and update with a smoke report. It still smells a bit green but is developing some lemony/ tangerine, pine and herb like smells. Not skunky at all . Overall I am pleased this is my first auto flower harvest ever. While the yield is less than I had hoped I can’t complain. 3 quarter ounces for the cost of a reusable pot and some potting soil, it ain’t bad at all. In reading other diaries on this variety I see a lot of phenotype variation so maybe it needs a little refinement genetically.
Until the smoke report, thanks for reading!
As pictured about three leaves on my Pyramid are showing a reddish spotting pattern between the leaf veins. I’m thinking calcium, possible low ph. Do any of you awesome folks have a different idea that I am missing?
Is it possibly that you misted something on the leaves there? If so then it may have burned the leaves. But unfortunately I think these spots are from insects taking bites out of the lower sides of the leaves. I would get a maginifying glass and inspect the bottom of the leaves for bugs. Hope this leads you in the right direction.
@Mrs_Larimar, thank you for the tip and your encouragement. Took my other plants down yesterday (except for the Ace) but I will keep in mind for the future.
Iam guessing for a heavy feeding with p+k or a wrong ph.. you also got insect bits. Neemoilsolution helps you nicely against them as long as there is no flower ( 1 l water, 1 tsp neemoil, some drops dishwashingsoap) if girls in vegetation you can spray it, if they are in flower you may have to use a sponge to put it on the leaves
Thanks all for answering question. My first thought yesterday when I spotted it was insects . I removed the plants from the area and did some weed control right away. I like a few camouflaging weeds around but they were getting out of control and attracting some caterpillars and maybe gnats with last weeks dampness. After reading the posts this morning I sprayed with an insecticidal soap and removed affected leaves. There is a web in the video but it’s from a friendly who I removed before spraying for the bad guys.
I’m pretty organic so never really bother with ph. It tends to trend down for me during wet weather and upwards in dry. If the rains return I’ll give s little calcium carbonate solution to raise it a bit.
Again I love this site and the awesome folks who help others! Thank you all and happy growing!
Hope that answers your question. Feel free to ask if you need anything else. If you find bugs then some diatomaceous earth or neem oil will wipe them out pretty quick. Good luck
@ODNTrick, glad to help. We all have times when we need a fresh set of eyes on our crops. Looks like you are already on your way to recovering them with the soap. I always sprinkle some diatomaceous earth around my outside plants as a preventative measure. It works great on the tiny bugs.
@GreenCanuck, thank you. I’m looking forward to the harvest... just waiting for some weather... should be a front thru tomorrow to bring some good drying weather. I’ll be drying outdoors under shade with big paper bags to regulate drying speed. Just need a good forecast.
Well glad your getting the little leaf issue taken care of man hate seeing a good girl getting hit at all cheers ...this site is awesome lots of people to help out ..
Just doing some recounting on my days :week 7 photos should be tagged day 42. Week 8 photos should be tagged day 49 as my week 1 was posted on planting day not 7 days into the grow.
