Oct 3: air temp was 0 C last night But no sign of additional frost damage to the plants. Defoliation was to remove frost damaged leaves from the Cookies G13. Had to take out sunflowers which were shading the plants because the sun is so low to the horizon now.
The end is near.
Harvested 21 g PL and 20 g G13 buds wet weight for freeze drying.
Oct 4: frost damage on Cookies G13 may also just be senescence of the plant. Buds are over dried again with both PL and CG13 weighing out at 5 g dry after curing. Harvested seeds: 170 Panama Lime x Devil XXL, 65 Cookies G13 x Smoothie, and 20 Smoothie x Panama Lime.
Seeded branches were dried:
81 g PL and 119 g Cookies Gi13 wet buds into dryer.
22 g dry PL and 29 g dry CG13 so about 25% of wet weight after rehydration.
Oct 10: chopped both plants at 169 days. There was a bit of frost on the plants this morning so I took down both Flash Seeds plants and Wonder Pie 2. Filled freeze dryer nearly to capacity with one tray of Wonder Pie and four of Panama Lime. Cookies G13 is trimmed and waiting.
771 g of bud and 491 g scraps and popcorn buds for what should be a very nice and flavourful single strain hash. That’s 1.26 kg or 2.8 pounds wet of useful stuff for Panama Lime.
@Pokan187, thanks. This one is from several seasons ago, but yeah it was a pretty good. Boveda are fine, but humidity packs are a commodity biz so I just buy whatever is the best deal. Humidity packs are totally worth it by the way…worth the minor price.
@Northern_Ent,Ha brilliant dude thank you really.. Here I was half expecting a weird stupid answer and you come up with something intelligent very cool. Much Respect brother... I use a product to achieve the same kind of idea but very cool of you to think outside the box..
@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, I agree it sounds silly but the soap lowers the surface tension of the water which means that it is better able to penetrate the leaves. Science, or at least wishful thinking. 😎. Pesticide formulations often use the same trick to deliver their active ingredients. I was reminded of it buying some fancy peat based medium that mentioned using a “wetting agent” which is just a surfactant which is just soap.
@Epokwan, the breeder calls them Superautos. They did start flowering early, and will finish in time, but wow what a long winded plant. Absolutely gorgeous though and the Panama Lime testers are really nice. I likely found it on Seedsman using their search filters.
Looks awesome! I think my plants are growing at about the same pace as yours, I'm only in week 4 though, hoping to see the same things as you've got goin on
@siz3thr33, thanks, I’m excited about these ones. Your California Snow look good, but you’re likely a bit early with the bloom nutes. Your day 21 pic show you’re still in vegetative growth so they need a fertilizer with more N than PK to grow big.
My plants also seem to like getting a bit of molasses every week or so throughout the grow. Make sure its unsulphured blackstrap molasses which is cheap at the grocery store. 😎. Good luck.
