Chopped one already. These 5 are finishing.

This was an interesting harvest. Everything was going great and the buds/trichomes were still piling on, when suddenly almost overnight plant "C" shifted to about 20% amber trichomes. So I harvested it, and because the other plant wasn't ready yet I decided to try water curing the first one for 7 days. Then at the end of the 7 days, I figured I'd hack down plant "D" and dry them both on the racks in the tent at the same time before moving into jars. The water curing was a huge success! After the first day, the water was cloudy with a slight green tinge. Second day was about the same. Then the water was just a little cloudy each change, no green tinge. Compare it to the diary I just opened around water re-curing some cannabis I bought from the government store, where the water is diarrhea brown :O On day 7 of my water cure, the water was perfectly clear so I decided to hack down plant "D" and get them both drying on racks in the tent together. While water-curing plant "C", I had its trim sitting in a bowl in the freezer. When I hacked down plant "D", I put its trim in the same bowl. After my typical wet-trimming, I hung up Plant "C"'s water-cured buds on the top rack, plant "D"'s buds on the 2nd rack for an old fashioned cure, and random trim from both plants spread out on the bottom 2 racks. The water-cured buds dried within about 24 hours and went into a jar with a 58% humidipack. The buds are SUPER dense and potent! Nice clean high, doesn't kill my throat. The downside is that the taste is really weak and not that great. But everything has pros and cons. Almost no trichome loss in the bucket during the water curing as well -- I was really worried about that! The other buds dried in about 36 hours and went into a jar with a 58% humidipack, where I burped it many times a day for a week. The smell and flavour are much more potent than the water-cured bud and it's a little harsher on my throat, but otherwise I'm not sure there's a detectable difference. However, you can SEE there's a sharp visual difference between the water-cured buds and the jar-cured :) Of course the jar-cured will mature more with time as well. Once the trim was completely dry, I put it in a bag in the deep freezer and dropped it to about -20. I didn't need to use a grinder this way -- I could just mash it all up in the bag with extreme ease! Sifted it through the kief screen, and pressed down 17 grams of lazy-man's hash! After processing the trim through the kief screen, I decarbed in the oven at 200F for 1 hour (this converts THC-A into THC or something to that effect -- if you don't do this, the edibles won't get you very high). I put the trim into a big mason jar and back into the freezer along with my bottle of Everclear. Once they dropped somewhere down around -20, I poured in the Everclear, put the lid on, and shook as hard as I could, as often as I could, for 5 minutes or so. I noticed that as I shook it around, the contents inside would alternate between solid and liquid which was kinda cool :) Shake it one way and it freezes, shake it the other way and it thaws... or something to that effect, anyway. I was able to use a double-coffee-filter to extract about 2 cups of dragon tincture! I threw everything in the coffee filter out -- next time I'm going to do a better job of it as there's a little pile of trichomes that forms at the bottom of the filter which I could put to use. Once I get that down next harvest, I'll have around 99% efficiency milking every last drop out of my harvests! White chocolate is so yummy, as are candy canes... I wanted to combine the two to make some edibles. Looking around for candy cane crush, I decided to check out Amazon. They had the same candy cane crush I was looking at from popular stores, for only a couple dollars more, so I figured sure why not have it delivered. I was planning to get some white Baker's chocolate, but on checkout of the candy cane crush I got a deal for adding on white chocolate Lindt bars for $1.25 a piece LOL! So I bought 10 of those. When the Amazon package arrived, I slowly boiled down 1/2 cup of my dragon tincture in a pot, then used a double-boiler setup to melt down 4 of the Lindt bars in the same pot. Once it was mixed well with the hash oil, I set it aside to cool for about 3 minutes before stirring in 1/8 cup of candy cane crush (plus I ended up adding maybe like a tablespoon more), pouring into a pan lined with parchment paper, and putting in the freezer for 30 minutes. So now I have a nice big chunk of white chocolate candy cane crunch stuff where a piece the size of my thumb gets me super high for like 8+ hours; 17 grams of lazy-man's hash; and 88 grams of bud :) And still enough dragon tincture left over to make 3 more rounds of edibles -- not sure what I'll make next! From now on I'm going to water cure a large portion of all my buds -- not just the ones I grow myself, but ones I buy from the Gummint too!

SPREADSHEET: Jack's vs. Advanced: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HtHnZOxMHtBK5DFQjpBun2lbhDxYVhI7lJaq4W6xbyk/edit?usp=sharing 9/26 - Day 35: Slight light burn - nothing major at all. Moved lights and used "Korona" a light PPFD app, and placed everything a little better. 9/28 - Day 37: All is good, the little shits are growing like crazy. Also, my first time using trellis netting and it's amazing. It's LST without the wires and I can do kind-of a ScRoG (not a literal one) by having the stems grow out horizontally for a period of time. Really cool!

The yield this run was just amazing, the VIPARSPECTRA XS-2000 performed very well, they run so cool, it's just crazy, you can set the lights about 10 inches from your plants at 70% without fear of burning them, sweet seed cream mandarin auto al, always yields very well, this harvest was even better, largest amount from any Auto Flowers yet, I know that you folks that grow DWC can push it a bit better but when grown in the soil the terpenes and flavors seem to be a click better in my opinion. If you have not tried these seeds you just have to, you will not be disappointed!

Toujours trop chaud cette semaine. Les filles ont très soif, mais elle vont bien. Un peu de gym pour certaines et un traitement huile d,'holive ail et huile de neem pour toute. Ça commence à devenir vraiment cool, car je n ai jamais eu d aussi grosse plante et qu'il me reste encore un mois de croissance. C'est l'inconnu a partir de maintenant. Croisons les doigts

Same thing as the other weeks in flower, just keeping them trimmed and happy! First time using Advanced Nutrients with hydroponics and the plants are loving it so I'm pretty happy about that 👍 Hydroguard is still doing its job too, roots are super healthy and clean!

Getting it ready for the SCROG

🍪🥜🍬⛽️

hope ... it's not too late to change to a 20-liter pot ... she grows healthy ... the days are cloudy ... let's hope it's abudant...

WHATS NEW..? PRETTY MUCH NOTHING HAHA. TEMPERATURE IS NOW WAY MORE IDEAL AND BUDS SLOWLY START FORMING. ALSO THE SMELL STARTS TO GET STRONGER. KEEP ON GROWING, SMOKING & ENJOYING LIFE ☢️👽💨

at the moment i only use tap water , my tap water is not so good ec and ph are not good but it seems to work 12.8.2024 i put the lights now on a 12/12 light cycle total power consumption at this point 300kWh

Welcome to week 5 of flower. Things have gone very well so far a tiny amount of burning on a leaf text but I have corrected it before it became a real problem. I cut back the nutrient level to 2 mg of micro Bloom and flour as opposed to three and things seem to be going pretty good. The bud sites are fattening rather nicely considering it's only going into week 5.

Pink Wafers! Day 16 Building up a nice root system at the minute and will start topping and Training over the next week or so. Had a bit of stretch but got that under control and will root pot very soon aswell ✌️🏻🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

✋Ding Dong le Cut a sonné pour les belles demoiselles la semaine dernière après une belle floraison J'adore son feuillage qui à fait une belle sénescence et surtout c'est feuilles légèrement violet 😍 Remplit de trichomes 😍 Partis pour une petite semaine minimum de séchages et en bocaux 😎 Je vous dis à bientôt pour le résultat final 😉

8/17 is the beginning of week 5, week 2 of flower. she's looking happier than she's ever been! if she makes it through flower looking like this than I might be a forever convert to Gaia green. 8/21 Day 40 did some major LST today i know i said i would let it grow freely but I'm trying to keep it from growing vertically until I harvest the other girl.

Start of the gum

This weeks been good, I decided to lay off the nutritions this week and give em ph balanced water so they can soak up the nutrients they have and give em a rest. Next week will start with some bushdoctor bembe. Also got them sprayed with neem oil for big protection, looking glossy green
