<drum roll>...and now...last but not least. The girl that should have been cut down first, but somehow, stupidly and idiotically I cut down last...Critical Kush. My "control strain". The only strain to have been grown all 3 of my grows so far. Of the 6 strains I've grown so far she has been the easiest to care for. She has taken each of my mistakes in stride and just shrugs them off.
Monday, Day 58 was Harvest Day...should have been a day or 2 earlier but if you read the last 2 harvests for this grow you already know what an idiot I am. ๐
In my previous grows I did a wet trim, and due to the ambient conditions that I sometimes have to deal with weather-wise I feel that I over-dried my buds. I didn't think that I had the room to hang 3 whole plants so I cut off the branches and then placed them in my hanging drying screen tray "thingies" (as my wife would say).
It's almost 7pm now on Saturday, Day 62. The last girls to get trimmed seems to take the longest but I think that's just because I was pretty tired by this point. My back and one of my shoulders was starting to ache because I was leaning to one side...y'all know what I'm talkin' 'bout! ๐ She takes me the distance. It's almost midnight by the time I'm done and she's weighed up and in the jars to cure.
3.6oz, or 98g for those wishing for a more exact accounting of things.
Continuing from the Peyote Harvest...you can see now why I quickly dismissed the thinking that proximity to the CO2 fan had anything to do with yield weight. This was the plant furthest away and it was the second largest yield.
I think that I'm a pretty happy guy. ๐ Overall now, between all 3 plants in this grow, that is a total of 10.16oz of flower. Shattering the 8oz. combined total of my previous 2 grows.
@Samson420, hey!
I didnt see you were growing in coco! I've seen little higher ph for flowering tho, thats why i asked ๐.
Ive done that u mention, flushing with regular water and finish with 1 liter of correct PH, I also add "atazyme" or similar in that liter!
All seems fantastic so good luck finishing'em up!! I keep an eye on your grow ๐
@Highclass, Thanks Dude. Much appreciated.
It's something that I read in the Grow Pot Cheaply book and I've seen it mentioned recently in a few videos that I have watched
The way that I understood the information...because I was feeding the entire grow to ph 5.8 I want to flush with 5.8 as well because I don't want to change the ph of of my substrate and wind up shocking the girls' system. What I read and heard was actually: Flush out your plants with 3 times the amount of water as the size of your pot. 5 gal pot = flush with 15 gallons of water (at one time). Non-PHed water is fine, tap water is fine...as long as the last gallon of water is PH correctly so it stays in your "soil" and keeps the PH that you had throughout your grow.
...but I had screwed that up anyway when I shorted myself on nutrients for the week and had to change up my game.
My last 2 grows I flushed with regular distilled water that has a normal PH of 7.1, and I think the girls finished up well and everyone agreed that they tasted great...so I'll see if flushing to 5.8 produced any noticeable results and let you know.
