Another First Time Grow

[barillaro]

Have you got any space in your fridge @barillaro?
@Mr. Krip pointed me in the direction of this link:
DrZiggy's Low And Slow Drying: Maximizing Your Harvest
Check it out! If you're afraid of high temps & inconsistent RH% i'd suggest going with this method.

Low and slow is great if you have room in the fridge and don't mind the smell. I did just one sandwich bag's worth once, but the whole kitchen smelled like weed every time someone went for food!

Great suggestion irie .

Got it, thanks guys. Appreciate that link irie I'll be going over it today. She's still really low odor so I might be able to convince the Mrs

So just to make sure I'm understanding this, I keep repeating the step of bring to room temperature, place hygrometer inside and seal, then Place in dark for one hour. Once I do this and the rh after one hour is between 64-72% I seal the jars and burp them while still in the refrigerator? Or am I mistakenly somewhere? Once rh is between 64-72% do I store outside of the refrigerator and burp ?

They've moved on to brown paper sandwich bags from jars.

Will have to look more thoroughly, I missed the bag reference

Temps also git 103 today , definitely drying in the fridge
Not sure where it came from, but got hit with what appears to be a severe Cal mag deficiency

 

[InTheShed]

Add cal-mag!

Here is a summary of the low and slow method that most folks are using now, along with more details below it. Thanks to @MrSauga for putting that all in one place for me!

Thanks shed! Bookmarked that post as well
Btw, as my grow us nearly complete should I be changing my feed strength? I've been doing ~6ml calmag, 2 ml micro, 1ml of grow, and 6 ml of bloom. Ppm around 730-770 with varying pH levels

 

[InTheShed]

If you had over a week left then yes, but since it would take a few days for the plant to absorb the increased cal-mag it's probably not worth it this late in the game.

Here is a collection of a few buds, every shot should be a different one if I'm not mistaken

The shorter more bushy plant has much more purple to her as well as a different smell

How are the trichomes looking these days?

Ibche

How are the trichomes looking these days?

I checked a bit last night and still lots of clear, I'll get some updates on em tonight

 

[irie lion]

Your flowers are looking awesome @barillaro!

Thanks man, you wouldn't happen to have a journal for your nug of the month plant would you?

 

[barillaro]

A little late, but here are some trichome shots

Apologies for the quality. Was falling asleep trying to snap em.

 

[InTheShed]

Is that amber is on the buds and not the leaves? And which plant is further ahead? So much to balance when they need to come down together!

Unfortunately I don’t bro sorry, I wish I documented it properly. I’d highly recommend growing it though, the beans are cheap, it’s a quick grower and you’re guaranteed purple flowers

here are some trichome shots

Nice trich shots! Is that with a loupe against your phone camera or is it an attachment?

Yea, these are all calyx shots, no sugar leaves. I believe the shorter bushier plant is a bit more developed. I'll be bagging them separately to see how they compare

I'll definitely need to pick some up for my next grow, you did photos right? And yea it was a 60x loupe on my phone. Tried the 90x but even my heart beat through the shots off

 

[barillaro]

Also I believe I'll be chopping Thursday night! Works well as I have Friday and Saturday off. Gives me time to keep an eye until they're settled in the fridge. Majority or trichomes are cloudy. By Thursday I think it will be almost all cloudy with 10% or less clear

 

[InTheShed]

Sounds like a great plan!

Congratulations mate. Buds look fantastic. Bet you can’t wait to smoke your own home grown.
