1st Grow: Blue Dream

[Derbybud]

I move mine around and flip them so the buds break away from each other. Kind of fluffing them.

Nice yield Magoo. Buds look great. Don't smoke it all on the first day.

man that is a fat bud. nice. Are you hand trimming?

 

[Wookie0586]

Nice buds and pics MrM!
I bet you get 6 to 7oz dry out of that.

I trimmed that one up for the pics. Hoping most of the work is done for me by the time they dry well.

Thanks Wookie. I hope so!

Gorgeous bud Magoo - and phat!
Re the photo contest - Tedday actually posted a comment a couple of months ago saying pics of buds in teh hand almost never make the grade, or somethign like that. Not saying it isn’t worth entering it, it’s a beaut! And many folks will love it so totally worth the share (and what the comp is about for me ).But there were better photos (as photography) during your grow I reckon - the sea of colas comes to mind. Once it’s cured it’s a nug of the month contender for sure!

Thanks Amy! I don’t think I have the gear to take a really quality photo. Not enough to win the contest. I tried to get one like yours of the bud washing but it was so blurry. Lol

I believe the bud washing one was yours....or was it lady g’s?

Bud wash pic was mine

I have entered every month - and been lucky enough to snag second prize twice. Both those winners were taken with my phone - the ones with my fancy camera not so much! It’s about the atmosphere... equipment doesnt matter so much sometimes. That budwash shot I took Iike 10 of them while I was swishing the branch up and down, trying to capture the push of the bubbles through the plant structure (cause I was so mesmerised how beautiful it looked!). About 3 of them came out well - and that one I entered was cropped from a broader frame.

Party Girl is definitely not gonna yield what Smurfette will. Party Girl came out the soil with the most vigor and held onto that through the majority of veg until Smurfette finally passed her. Party Girl had more tops but was significantly shorter that Smurfette. Party Girl had the lean going on from day 1. Not sure if this is ultimately what hurt her in the comparison. But the initial wet weight of Smurfette was somewhere around 570 grams while the initial wet weight of Party Girls sits at 355 grams! Here are a few pics of the biggest bud off of Smurfette. Not the longest but the heaviest for sure.

Looking great Magoo. You will be smoking the fruits of your labor soon .

With only harvesting the half that was ready, did you notice an increase in yield on what was left?

Curious to know the answer as well. I also read that giving more time by harvesting partially allow small buds to mature but isn't directly linked to increase of yield

I rarely chop an entire plant at once. I'll take the top colas first when they are cloudy then let the rest reach cloudy. They put on more weight most definitely. All that energy that was going to the tops gets rerouted to the next layer of the canopy.It really tends to be a space or time restraint if i take a whole one down. I sometimes do 3 or 4 chops on one plant if i have time to baby the harvest that much.

Great input there Kis. Thanks so much!

You are most welcome Goo. Pulling the trigger on the chem 91's tomorrow . Looking forward to running those bad girls.

 

[Mr. Magoo]

That will probably be my next run after the one I’m bout to start.

 

[Mr. Magoo]

Really really excited for that one. Chemdog has been at the top of my list since I started but the HSO version was sold out when I bought seeds from Seedsman. Then I heard about these and had to get them. Should be better I would hope. There are a couple breeders with chem91. Who are you gonna get them from?

When do you combine your chops...just during the cure in the jar or do you just do individual batches?

Depends on how far apart the chops are. I did combine my last one i took down because they were only a few days apart and the first chop got a bit too dry. But usually they get jarred up individually per culling.
