Runt was an amazing lady, a cast-away I threw into the forest because I didn't have time or space for her on the deck during the Spring. All she did was grow into a 7+ foot tall and push out an amazing yield of super sticky, super glittery, super-stanky buds. Runt is dead, long live Runt! I did a trichome check on Runt on Monday, and she was ~75% cloud, 25% cloudy. I checked her again, and she was about 25% amber and 75% cloudy - so it was time she comes down. I didn't take the wet weight, because as you can see I left her on long stems as part of the drying/curing process; any wet weight wouldn't have any bearing on the actual dry yield. I will let her hang for a week, and then paper-bag cure her for another week, then I'll throw her into some 2-gallon jars with Boveda 62% packs. I generally get ~2 oz of loosely-packed herb into a 2 gallon jar, and eyeballing things I'm guessing I'll need 4 jobs, so I'm eyeballing something between 6 and 8 oz off her. We'll see what it actually turns into once in a few weeks; I'll update dry totals as the girls come down, and then my 'Harvest' entry will be when all 5 plants have dry weights and a a smoke report.
The other 4 girls are trucking along. The traditional manifold amongst the nettles in fattening up really nicely, and right now is about 75% clear, 25% cloudy trichs. I think she'll come next weekend. Quadrifold 3 is also starting her fattening process, with 90% clear trichs...she's probably two weeks away. Quadrifolds 1 & 2 are still developing, with Quad #1 still filled with larfy popcorn-style buds. She may be closer to a Halloween harvest, who knows. The trichs tell all.
After being really disapointed with ILGM's autoflower blueberry strain, I'm really happy with this one. Assuming the smoke matches up with the sticky stank, this will be one of the best harvests I've ever had. Really happy.

@Thatsmyfirsttime, thanks! We try to grow as much of our stuff as possible and be self-sufficient. I try organic stuff out here and there (my autoflowers I used a living soil ammendment), but for the most part I think ferts are a scam. Coffee grounds, ground egg shells, earthworm castings, and left over fruit and veggie scraps. That's all I think you need to grow big, beautiful organic plants.
Runt's dry weight: 151g. It's curing now in a couple of paper grocery bags. I also harvested the traditional manifold, like the next day after Runt, so she's trimmed and dried as well: 137g; she's also in a couple of grocery bags.
