Harvested the True OG today (sunday). I knew it wasn’t going to be a yielder early on, which is the reason I chose not to continue that strain any further. Tricombs are about 15 percent amber at 60 days of flower. While cutting, I also noticed a few nanners (luckily under the canopy) and one poofed on me. I’m not worried about it tho as they’re all about to harvest at different times over the next 14 days anyways. I’ll just spray everything with water and wipe it all down before the start of the next flowering cycle to kill anything that may have blown anywhere. I hope that do not find any more on others. I don’t have a set drying space, so each time I just kinda make one with whatever materials I have laying around. In this case, I have a roll of 24” paper from my wide format epson printer that I’ll probably never use again. I basically doubled it up and taped it to my desk like a box. To keep the air fresh and circulating, I use the intake of my grow tent to pull the air and smell into the tent, maintaining negative pressure and passing through the carbon filter. The paper absorbs some of the moisture and the bud dries nicely in about 4-6 days. I’m not worried too much about light through the white paper, as its not very bright in my room anyways, but if you decide to do something similar, you could probably use black or something thicker like cardboard or poster board. I’m pretty lax with trimming, mostly just removing water leaves and tips. There’s no need for me to get over technical with trimming. It’s easy to snip off the big stuff before jarring and the small stuff when breaking it up to smoke. I don’t even waste my time with most of the small and airy nugs. I’ll just take the bigger colas and hang those, leaving the rest on my Raw tray to dry in my box for edibles. My hangers aren’t pretty, but they’re easy and help organization in a small space with multiple strains. I also started trimming the bottoms of the Kush Cookies, Critical, GP, and Pineapple before the lights went out earlier to get a head start because I plan to harvest those sometime around Wednesday. The three KiwiSkunk phenos and Blue Dream both need about 1 - 2 weeks beyond that to finish up. - I cut the Critical Kush down today (Monday). The higher yield obviously took more time than the True OG to trim and looks to be an ok harvest. It’s been really cold lately out of nowhere so it may add a day to the dry time, but i’m not concerned. The pineapple will be the next to go, most likely Wednesday, which will be day 63. - Cookies, GP, and Pineapple all came down today (wednesday). Cookies is a hardy plant, but seems average to say the least. We’ll have to see what a cure does. It will go head to head against the only other remaining kush cookies pheno in the next grow, but I hypothesize it will most likely end there for the so called “cup winning” strain. Granny panties smells the way i hope granny panties would smell like. she’s nicely frosted, but he buds are pretty fluffy. it also wasn’t a big yielder although it took longer for that one to hit the hempy rez. Either way, she’s safe for now and will move on to the next round. The last one to come out today was the pineapple chunk. another super hardy plant with nice stalks and strong branches. Has the potential to be a good yielder with longer veg time. The three remaining kiwi skunk phenos look totally different from each other and still need a bit more time to ripen up.

Nice explanation bro I'm with you on that that tents looking packed gonna sure fill some jars up 60 for an 8th that's harsh glad I'm not from your area lol I'm trying no boosters or pk with my latest grows can only make it cleaner like u say if it's not in there without then can't be that good happy growing brother

@TastieTom,man that's some serious paper they know how to make it hard and i bet you enjoy it Cali looks awesome

@biggreens420, Im sure there's plenty of people willing to grow, however, out here, you'll need to have big money to get in the game. Cultivation land in my area is currently going for $1 million (US) per acre; and that's without a building, just empty land. On top of the 12 different types of licenses the state issues. Too much headache. With a California MMID you can grow up to 100 sq ft or 500 if your a caregiver to 5 or less. Or you could just take advantage of California Health and Safety Code Section 11362.77 (b) that states" If a qualified patient or primary caregiver has a physician’s recommendation that this quantity does not meet the qualified patient’s medical needs, the qualified patient or primary caregiver may possess an amount of cannabis consistent with the patient’s needs." Basically grow/possess as much as you can get your doctor to say you need. The only downside with an MMID is you can no longer buy guns legally, but I love weed more than guns anyways so it doesn't matter. It's also expensive to live here, but I love California.

@TastieTom,man get me to Cali I'd love to grow legal and do it legit ...and I hope that's not the case and they understand people need time to trust especially in the government but like u say u never know I hope not though

Why is the pH at 8.5 buddy ?
biggreens420
biggreens420
@TastieTom,no problem i understand u want the cleanest possible
TastieTom
TastieTom
@biggreens420, It's kinda yes and no. I could, but If I did, then any nutes still left in the reservoir along with any in my local aquifer water would be uptaken by the plant. I'll do another flush before i cut the indicas and probably another two more before the sativas are finished.

@TastieTom,you could use pH down still or do u consider that still adding nutes?

@TastieTom, That's a great quote - the devils in the details... or perhaps we could say the stoner needs the details - ha ha !

@Zannabis7, Thank you. As a stoner, I've come to rely on the details because my memory often fails me. lol

It looks so good this week! Are you sure that its not just a late frosting pheno? I've had a few Gals that swelled Buds to huge before they developed dense Trichomes - Could be that.

@TastieTom, So true! On both the 10/10 part and the growing new strains part!!
TastieTom
TastieTom
@BudKingsGrow, Thank you. I wouldn't mind being surprised, but I won't hold my breath either. There is significant variation between the phenos, leading me to believe that this strain has not been stabilized. A few of them have poor genetic characteristics as well. There's so many strains available on the market today, it makes no sense to keep em if they're not 10/10. Come to think of it, I might just leave 2 spaces open in the tent for good to test out some new new. Besides getting to try new strains in the mail for every grow might be the very best part about growing cannabis!

A seriously beautiful garden!! I understand wanting to grow for yourself, but remember that we are part of a Community here and you Diaries/Grows make a difference overall for Cannabis culture! Its bigger and far more important than just good Buds for us to puff 😉 Keep that good work coming!!!

Your garden is looking good bro. I'm on my second grow too and learning day by day. How long did you veg those out for? I just put my Critical Kush to flower a week ago so I'm looking forward to see how yours turn out.
TastieTom
TastieTom
@SupaDank, Thanks! In this case, roughly 4 weeks in the tent. But to be fair, I have a separate 24x48 space that I use for my moms and clones under t5 lights. They went from red solo cups then straight into 3g pots, which is not what I normally do, but I had too many strains and not enough room. I usually go from 1/2 gallon pots with coco in veg, straight to 3 gallon pots, then veg another 2-3 weeks before the flipping. I really like the way the critical is growing, but expect the stems to be flimsy compared to the weight of the buds.

Excellent GD Entry this Week! I as well love waking up early and the first thing I do is make a cup of Joe and then open my Grow Rooms up!! There's nothing better than having Ladies in Bloom 😍

Packed awesome in there u took clones to keep the phenos u want?
TastieTom
TastieTom
@biggreens420, Yes, I took clones to keep the genetics going in case I happen to like them. If I dont like the genetics, I will most likely just give the remaining cuts to my friends and move on to the next batch of seeds in my drawer.
