36 Day 72 - Surprise! Harvest time. I bought a loupe just to see, figured I had a week or 2 to flush. Turns out I already have a lot of amber trichomes! I had to either chop today or wait a week, and I figured another week would be too long. So no flush, no darkness, nothing. Just chopped her. Only 125 grams wet, so I'm not expecting much, but at least she looks nice. Not the worst first grow. Now drying will be tough, as I have to keep her in the bucket with the vent fan on, so it's cold and low RH (50F and 30% rh). I'm hoping the lower temps help it dry slower, and that's also why I kept the fan leaves on.
3/8 Day 74 - RH actually pretty high right now, around 55-60, so I trimmed it down. After trimming and 36 hours of drying, I'm down to 51g weight. Still expecting 10gs or so at best. Smells delicious though and is nice and sticky. Quality over quantity I suppose.
HEAT IS hurting ur plants right now- They look like they are hungry but the envio needs to be dialed in before u feed. I can see that the buckets are a challenge but u will pull it off. Growers love
@LagunitasOGDGC, you say heat but my temps are actually too low right now, I'm lucky if they hit a high of 70. I'm really struggling to figure out temp control. But hey, that's what a first grow is all about I suppose! Trial and error. The newest grows are actually looking better, I'll upload another pic or 2 tonight, so I'm thinking nutes was a bigger issue. But I'm sure the low RH and temps aren't helping.
Thanks for checking out my grow!
@CurrentCulture420Grown, I've barely given any nutes so far. Did 1/4 strength AN trio a few weeks ago but flushed because even that was too much. And then just did revive this water cycle and it's responding ok, but looks like I'm a bit nitrogen deficient. (What with the yellow lower leaves and what not) That's why I'm thinking of trying the trio again next watering.
Congrats on the harvest man, she looks good and that is a very solid weight, it'll probably even out at around an oz.
I can promise it'll be the best bud you ever smoked lol. Enjoy man, you worked hard to earn this :).
Growing the same genetics from seedsman, this leaf dropping seams a tendency, overall the genetics are a bit unstable and sensitive to high doses of nutrients lots of water and heat...
Cool grow you made, and nice revive too! Cheers!
@CANNASIM, status update: holy shit this took me to the moon! Admittedly, it was also my first time smoking in almost 8 years, but man I got high as hell! It's very much a cerebral high, I almost feel like I was on autopilot at times, watching myself do stuff functionally while mentally not being sure how. And a good couch lock that was relaxing and some munchies too. But my wife, who is always prone to paranoia when smoking did get some of that unfortunately, but not as bad as she has in the past.Flavor wise, it was very pine-y. I wonder how that will change once it cures completely.All in all, it was one of the highest I've ever been, and off of my own frigging grow! Really a pretty awesome feeling!
@Metalhead_Literally, I know the feeling hehe, have 8 weeks to go yet, need to be a monk for this! I think the first cycle drives more anxiety, next one should be more relaxed... Cheers!
@CANNASIM, now that its dried properly and sitting at around 62RH, my final weight is right at 19g's. And I am waiting for it to cure some before sampling it, but I'm getting impatient so I think I might try it this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes!
@Metalhead_Literally,
It seems like there is ~20 3W LEDs in it.
Yeah the Chinese sellers just inflate the numbers, always better to test real watts from the wall.
:)
Very cool dude! I am loving this hobby as well though bucketeering is super rad dude. I would totally do that if I had to go uber low profile.
The widow definitely gets better with a good month cure. I think I actually dried mine a little too quickly but it is easily one of the best smokes I've had in a long time. Also I think growing is kind of like cooking your own food. It always tastes best to you when you make it.
👊🏻👏🏻🙌🏻💥! Haha thats awsome!Enjoy a lot!!! On the paranoia thing i use to get those too, the key for me was to slowly increase the dose, though i still need less than most peopple to be in a confortable high! All the best and thanks for the feedback!!! Cheers
