Final weights:
Durban Poison 42.9 g
Orange Sherbert 44.4 g
OG Kush 49.8 g
Big Bud 54.0 g
Purple Orange CBD 66.2 g
Skywalker Kush 52.7 g
Northern Lights 63.1 g
I total that at 373.1 g for these plants. Still have Wedding Cake and the White Russians to take down. Was going to do it today but had to make room in the fridge.
Ended up getting 8/12 plants across the finish line. PWM got both MH1s and both WRs.
Wedding Cake final weight: 76.4 grams or 2.7 oz.
Final total harvest weight 449.5 grams or 15.86 oz - slightly less than 1lb. I am slightly disappointed in this go around since the first harvest produced so well.
Total dry weight for our first harvest:
620 grams or 21.87 oz or 1.37 lbs
That said, still not bad and we got some good medicine out of it. I had to overcome being quite ill for several weeks and we're fortunate I didn't kill all the plants.
@Tangled loves the OG Kush. She describes it as smooth and balanced both in smoking and in effect. She coughs very little compared to the dispensary stuff she's had. She is excited that Wedding Cake is finally dry and should be able to put it to use within a few days. She's also enjoying the SWK and NL. There's no danger of running out any time soon.
Things I learned:
Stay healthy. Gotta be healthy to do all of this work.
Don't bite off more than you can chew. 12 plants was too much even if not sick.
Water appropriately. I'll reference the first two in the list. If the plants dry out in flower it's not good. Keep the water coming!
Air flow! I let the prefilter on the exhaust get pretty dirty. This decreased airflow somewhat and may have contributed to the PM we faced.
Be careful to maintain a "sterile" environment. Clean pots. Clean the tent. Clean the floors. Clean the humidifier. There were times I couldn't do much of anything and that played a huge role. I am going to begin a regimen of running used soil through a peroxide soaking and then replenish good flora before returning to the compost bin.
This is more pertaining to the current grow and the root rot faced in the veg tent and also related to the previous issue, but assure adequate drainage for the soil. I figured out that I need more perlite for drainage and to prevent caking of the soil which leads to spots difficult to get wet and difficult to dry and oxygenate. So I bought some perlite and will need to mix it with my soil. I believe this will improve the soil a good bit.
Still a good harvest and several lessons learned. Also, just shy of 1 lb ain't bad, considering.
The only reason there is no plant in flower is that they are still recovering. The OG Kush CBD and the two Blueberry clones are about ready but I'm waiting on the purple stalks to green up a bit more, as they've been doing since I was able to win the root rot battle. They were stressed and it literally showed. I'm trying to make myself wit another week as I feel they will be healthier then when I put them in flower and that will improve production.
The MH1, SWK, WC, and Big Bud clones are all a bit behind the others. I did not top Big Bud so that one may get interesting (for me).
I have several small clones and hope to give few away.
I'm going to need to plant another OG Kush, but I'd like to do a comparative between the Reserva Privada I grew this time and the Dinafem OG Kush I have.
Still have a few strains I haven't planted yet including GG#4, White Widow, and Purple Haze. They can wait for now.
Hopefully the world will tilt back onto its proper axis soon, but I have my doubts about that. Regardless, we are resilient people.
Be safe and be well. Be medicated. Be high. Be yourself. Be kind.
