9/21:
I harvested 2 more of the #4's, and my 3 hybrid autos last night.
After washing them, I hung them to dry in a room with very little airflow and average temperature of around 78f-80f. The humidity has been pretty high, so hopefully they dry slowly.
After 4 days of hanging to dry, I've been alternating the first #4 that I harvested between a brown paper bag and a 1 gallon jar every day to slow the drying process and will probably do the same with these 5 plants.
9/22:
I fed the 4 x #2's, flushed the 4 x #10's, and watered the remaining 2 x #4's and the 2 x #3's with some liquid soil only. They're pretty much ripe and ready, but they'll have to wait another day or two until I have some time to spare.
9/23:
I harvested the last 2 x #4's and one of the #3's today. Buds washed and hung to dry-
9/25:
...late night and early the 26th..
Harvested all 4 of the #10's and the last #3. Yowsa, those #10 buds are heavy and sticky!
I moved the last 4 plants into my tiny tent..all the #2's. For their last week, they're gonna be about a foot underneath 360w of quantum boards in roughly 5 square feet of space (36" x 20"), which breaks down to about 72w/sq ft, so I'm venting my bigger CO2 bucket into the tiny tent for the next week.
@ROM101, No doubt about it. I TRIED controlling my environment outdoors this season with lighting and cooling, but technical difficulties and plagues of insects bitch-slapped me back into reality...
@FoTwenny, Ya, thanks! There are a few about ready for a flush, but most will go another few weeks I think...
I need them to finish up because I've now got 21 seedlings growing in a 5' sq ft space and that won't last for long...
@Silverback_Guerilla, We’ve only got 6-9 going. Which is hilarious thinking about it. One gallon pots I won’t get near the colas you did. Master of maximizing space you are sir.
Holy mother of buds!!!
Those look so chunky I love the look of that C4ndyCane what is that strain I’m intrigued?
Also how you get the buds so dense, is that sweet and sticky giving you those dense buds or is there anything else you got to help that?
Thanks man, great grows!
@PharmaZ,
Thanks man!
C4ndycane is the result of an accidental hybrid of Candy Cane Auto from Crop King (a single sneaky nanner) with C4 from Fastbuds. I also got some pretty special crosses of Candy Cane x Amnesia Auto(Seedsman) that I call Candesia.
Major bud swell can only be attributed to proper diet of nutrients and massive shitloads of light. I'm pushing 64w/sf in my space, and during the last few weeks of flower I keep the lights to within a foot of the tops..and as little as 9 inches on the plants that can handle it.
@PharmaZ,
It tastes kinda like if you could distill all the aromas of a cabin in the woods on a cold winter morning..
A little fresh-cut cedar, some strong coffee, maybe a little sweet pipe tobacco, and dark chocolate..
