I messed up the cure, so the smell hasn't really come out.
Still a nice clean smoke.
Gives me a combination of body and head high, with a nice warm / tingling feeling in my chest.
I am really bad at curing it seems.
After three days of dry hanging, I cut up the buds and put them into mason jars, with boveda packs.
All jars initially showed a humidity around 70%. However, the first night I was burping them I fell asleep, and they ended up drying for the night before I closed the jars in the morning.
Seems this was enough to fuck it up, as every jar was showing a humidity of 62% after that. (Forced to 62% by the boveda packs).
After 2 months of being in the jars, the smell is still lacking. It seems a bit random which buds have a nice smell, and which smells like hay.
Wet weight might not be entirely accurate. the scale appear to not always update when it should.
Dry weight is measured with a different scale, and should be accurate.
Plant 1:
300g wet weight
72g dry weight
Plant 2:
230g wet weight
60.8g dry weight
Plant 1 & 2 loose stuff
70g wet weight
19.9g dry weight.
160g trimmings. Saved in the freezer, going to make butter or something when I get up to it.
@TheQuibbler, no worries, 4 grows , is 400% more then my experience.the soilless medium does have some npk in it to last the first few weeks, but i do run a basic AN set of nutes after a few weeks. Narrowed it down to ph or lights (i hope). Cheers!
@@greenpinky, Not sure I am the right person to seek advice from. This is only my 4th grow.
I can't give you any information regarding the t5 lights, I've only ever used led.
I saw you mention you are growing in a soilless medium, but not giving nutrients. I might be wrong, but shouldn't you be supplying nutrients from the start if you are not growing in soil? Since there is either none or very little nutrients in something like coco choir.
@TheQuibbler, i just posted a pic and description of my light set up in the c99 diary. I had started the seedlings under some 35w t5 tubes but they just kinda stopped growing so i moved em under the bigger lights. Any thoughts on that setup. Light stress maybe. Im at a loss.
@amazongrow,
As you are not the only one who have commented on the size for the current week.
I want to ask if you noticed that I don't count flowering from the switch to 12/12 but rather after the stretch when the plants are mature and fully in flower (pistils all over).
it's very interesting to watch your diary. I wish you a huge harvest of buds.
What do you prefer to use a Bong or a joint. 4-20 Bro.
subscribed and watching your grow.👍
@EZgrower,
Can't say I prefer one over the other, but I do use bong more often. I tend to forget the lit joints when gaming and end up with ashes all over my table / keyboard / mouse.
@kubie,
Do you have experience with the sativa stretch?
I've only grown indicas before, where a 30cm tall plant would stretch to about 60-70cm. I read that indicas will double in side indoor, where satives will triple in size. I flipped these plants at only 25cm, hoping it will end up at about 70-80cm tall..
@TheQuibbler,
Thank you so much, your plants turned out gorgeous. I was trying to search around for similar diaries.
I'm guilty of having my diary off by approximately 8 days....they're about 135 days old now. And I do know the day that i flipped to the 12/12 so at least my flowering time is correct...but I'm in the 7-8 weeks now and my trichromes are still pretty glassy looking, but basically all the pistils have changed color and curled. I usually find most plants i grow end up being a week or two past the "estimated flowering time" so maybe my c99s will be like yours, pushing that 9 week area.
Thanks for the tip from the female reps.✌️
@Experimentgreen,
I have been counting "flowering" from when they are fully mature. I find it incredible weird that people count from the switch to 12/12.
However, I asked Female Seeds when they start counting, and they said from the switch to 12/12, so technically my plants might have been "flowering" for 9 weeks.
I'll update with the harvest soonish. Kinda messed up my curing; I didn't know how to rate the weed and then kinda forgot about it.
