Progress: starting to harvest.
Update 10/9, we’re in the amber zone and will cut it all by 10/11.
Marathon OG; 1 plant. Started harvesting earlier in the week, gradually taking down mature or at risk colas. The plant is probably going to be my best this year.
Yield so far; I harvested 75%: fresh froze 2gal and cured 9oz. Theres
another 4 oz still on the plant. 75% good to high quality dense and resin packed buds. This yield is for a 20 gallon plant.
Lava cake: 4 plants (3-15 gallon 1-5 gallon). The main colas were mature with some amber. The sex pods were rotting on some so I took them down first to prevent any bud rot. Colas were mature (mostly mains) with hard dense buds. I took 30% and left about 70% still growing. I froze 4 gallons and harvested about a pound or so, hard to say yet as it’s just starting to dry.
PPP is still waiting to be harvested. Funky looking purple bud stacks. Still some clear trichomes, mostly milky. Cant wait to try it.
I ran some bubble hash: I ran some fresh frozen marathon OG as well as a pound from last years harvest.
Bubble Hash Yield; < 2 0z
3g rosin quality A+quality (use a rig!)
10g high quality (dark rosin hash) A- quality
38g hash C quality (smoke in joints, like OG hash, but cleaner.)
10g low grade d/e quality (edibles or press for rosin)
The fresh frozen produced the high quality rosin, but at a lower yield. The dried and cured pound from last years harvest produced so much ( an ounce and a half) it clogged up my micron bags. It’s good hash, but nothing like the fresh frozen rosin like hash.
It’s gonna be a busy week of feeding, scoping, harvesting, drying, curing and trimming.
The lava and the OG smoke great. The marathon og is so far my favorite to smoke. I have not tasted the purple push pops yet…..
