ILGM Big Bud Outdoors

Last week I harvested Runt per the diary; the next day I harvested the traditional manifold. Both plants were up hanging 3 days to dry, and then 5 days in a grocery paper bag to cure. The total yield of those two plants: Runt: 151g Manifold: 137 g. After the 5 days in the paper bag, they were seeming a bit too dry,. so I tossed them into jars with a Bovada 62% pack to finish curing. I haven't smoked any yet; I will have an initial smoke report next week. Family pic of the harvest shown; each girl managed to fill a not-too-tightly-packed 1/2 gallon jar, as well as at least 1 quart jar (run got about half a second quart jar). The smell is like a skunky peppery lemon smell, and really strong. When you unscrew the lid of a jar, the whole house instantly smells like skunky lemons. As for the other three girls, I'm kind of just letting them run right now. Their trichomes are about 80%/20% cloudy-amber...but they're packing new ones on every day, so that ratio is more or less being kept, and the flowers are starting to swell up. Quadrifold 3 is almost falling over because she can barely support the weight of her buds. She also has a resident - a jade lynx spider! The lynx spider is not threatening to humans, and she will keep this plant free of all nasties. She's also beautiful. As long as they keep packing on new trichomes faster than the old ones can amber, these girls can stay out there - at least until the branches start breaking under the weight of the flowers. They may be an October harvest, who knows? Clean, 8-legged country living.
