Have smoked a few joints of the popcorn bud and this stuff blows me away. Can't wait to try it after a full cure. I will make a full detailed report after the cure!
Absolutely blown away by the yield of this plant. Due to training and supplemental lighting (3-5 23 true watt CFL depending on temps inside tent) i got many many popcorn buds, and manged to make 3 cups of very potent coconut oil with the trimmings, i am also infusing alcohol with leaves to make some CBD heavy low THC alchohol to drink. I still have the much much larger, but seemingly sick widow #2 to harvest, depending on how she turns out i may use her to make more alcohol and oils. The buds are currently jarred up sitting at around 65% humidity curing. I am burping a few times a day, the humidity slowly raised to about 67 over the course of a day then i burp. I let plants hang dry for 7 days and cut stems and nugs off and let dry on counter for a while longer- then placed in open jars and rotated once every few hours with open lids till humidity was sub 65% when closing the jars. It has been 24 hours and humidity does not rise about 67 with burping, and so i believe the cure begins.
WW1 Yield Break down: ~135 grams dense high quality bud
42 grams popcorn bud
I will update weight if it lowers by a little during the first bit of the curing process, i'll only be sampling popcorn buds and leaving the large buds to all cure.
Thanks Dinafem for the great genetics because i messed up a lot during this grow... that is one resilient plant right there! and a big thanks to my country for allowing this!!
I WILL UPDATE WW#2 HERE AS WELL WHEN SHE IS READY. SHE IS GOING TO BE A SOLID WEEK OR SO.
UPDATE: Jars have been level at 60% Humidity for 3 days now and weight has changed. Buds are quite dry with a very nice smell., i believe the cure has begun. Total weight is now revised above. Total weight is ~170 gram
if possible, Judging by photos, roughly estimating, can anyone tell when WW1 will be ready for harvest? (Recent photos are marked WW1 week 9 end). Lower buds are very loose but have some brown hairs. Tichomes look clear / cloudy to me through 40x loupe. Cheers!
Hi MemesBeforeDreams
Hi buddy looking at your pictures weeek 11.
You have 2 maximum 3 weeks more to go.
Your plants looks nearly fully matured if you plan doing flush I think now is your time.
Fully matured plants
1-Eye inspection 90% brown hairs plants are matured ( old style method )
2-you have a 10% purple/amber Trichomes and 90% milky white Trichomes this can be inspected with jewellery loop. Cheap options available online.
3- Pros use Microscope 🔬 for perfect timings for harvest.
Hope this helps and good luck
