Black African Magic (2), Cafe Racer and Malawi x Panama in SIP's

[Ke0ncp]

Having some fun tonight looking back with Lambs Bread

A gift of an Early Miss Auto seedling from Crop Kings. 3 - 4 wks old (?)

Her temporary home 2 weeks later. Roughly 42 days old and not flowering yet

Doesn't make sense, this would point to lack of adequate light contributing to a longer veg time ?

A 2 gallon plastic pot (with added holes), ProMix HP, well water and Advances Nutrients M/G/B +

Yielded 13.2 oz

BTW > first image is uploaded, the other two were pasted from my Gallery.

Any one noticed any difference in how they display ?

Cheers

Man this image just reminds me of a head full of dreads!!! Impressive!!

Having some fun this evening with Cafe Racer

Another winner

The Black African Magic Ladies are ready for vac seal in mason jars !

Topped and trained yielded 5.43 oz.
Au natural yielded 4.93 oz

For a total of 10.46 oz !

Meanwhile the two remaining Ladies are still drinking but getting close

Day 83 of a total of 137...

Bud shots, Cafe Racer..

Malawi x Panama...

BTW > I've lowered the light to 75%, removed a front panel and added a large fan.

Hope that helps bring the temp down a bit, it was 83F ...

Cheers, eh ?

Day 85 of 139

I've reduced the feed to ~4g/gallon and the lights are now @ 75%.

The medium is moist to within a 1/2" of the top so I am not filling the reservoir every day, instead the Cafe Racer is getting ~ 2/3's of a gallon, the Malawi x Panama ~ 1/2 gallon.

With a full reservoir I had white fuzzies growing on top, rh is ~50%.

They have just now started to use the bottom fan leaves as I had hoped.

They are so close, I'll give them another week

The business end

Full on...

The Black African Magic's will have to hang out in their tupperware containers until tomorrow

Cheers

I use those same containers between dry and jar. Lol.

Black African Magic #2 is jarred, final weight is 5.03 oz

Decided to harvest the Malawi x Panama tonight, day 90 of 144 !

Top business end !

Full on

Bud shot one

Close up

Bud shot two

Close up

Hanging, just a rough wet trim

Cheers

 

[Ke0ncp]

Congrats on the harvest!!! 5 oz pretty damn nice!

 

[StoneOtter]

Nice haul! Now for another fine looking one!

 

[Chuckeye]

Okay, so now I'm starting to get a little concerned, in a good way

Went to grind up some of the Black African Magic #2 and got nowhere. Normally I can grind ounces before cleaning my grinder, just gets a little harder to turn, he, he..

But, after one load it was darn near impossible with this bud

The Absolute Stickiest buds I have ever grown

So, cleaned to brand new and went at it...

This is after less than 2g !

Still to come is a taste test, if the scissor scrapings are any indication I better have my ducks in a row first

Cheers

 

[Chuckeye]

Finally, after 144 days this grow is harvested and the last two are hanging

Cafe Racer, what can I say. First time I needed a step ladder to do a wet trim

I will admit I am vertically challenged

Four views, rough wet trimmed...

Bud shot...

Close up....

And hanging, shy of 8' of string...

Cheers, eh ?

Congrats on your harvests, Chuck! You truly grow beautiful plants. Sorry I missed the last of them but I've been having eye issues for 2 months. Hopefully, my eye appointment on Tuesday will clear things up including my eyes.

I'll look forward to the smoke reports. And, like @CaptainLucky , your description of the scissor hash makes me want to try the African Black Magic too.

Thank You @HashGirl !

That sucks, good luck at the doc's, eh ?

So busy I haven't had a block of time to try her yet but I'm ready

She was easy to grow, nutrients topped out at 5g/gallon of MC, large leaves and large internodal spacing resulted in golf ball size buds. And at a little over 4' high she was a "medium" size plant with a relatively short flower time for a sativa !

Not a large yielder but I think she is going to be

The older Lady is holding @62% but I think I will jar her today. Buds are so oily I can't use the "feel her up" method to judge doneness

Likely a good strain for pressing ! Maybe after I pay for my dentists next vacation I can get a press

Cheers

Such problems!

That Cafe Racer hanging is some great growing!

LOL, I know, eh ?

Thanks @StoneOtter, I'm just the guy with the watering can

Just a quick update....

The first oldest Black Magic is jarred, yield was 152g or 5.4 oz.

The Malawi x Panama is in a tote after a six day hang. It feels like a day too long but we will see in the morning !

Yield at this point is 204g or 7.3 oz. Will update when jarred, that seems to be a more accurate number !

Next grow is going to be a choice of four strains from Pacific Seed Bank >

Maui Wowie, Acapulco Gold, Columbian Gold, Bruce Banner #3, Hawaiian Haze, Red Headed Stranger, Thai and/or Super Sour Diesel

Cheers

And all the "work" is over

Cafe Racer, left the top colas mostly intact....

Malawi x Panama

Both

Now for the best part

I had my first test of the flower from Black African Magic #2 !

Knowing my tendency to over do it and say "just one puff" I purposely put in 1/3 of what I normally load the bong with

And it was a good thing, he, he...

The sativa high I have come to love AND considering where and what I've been doing the last three days my back and shoulder should be SCREAMING, Sit the heck down

Not so !

I am aware I'm sore but its in the background and I'm fully functional. Well, you know

Could Not Be More Pleased and looking forward to more testing

Cheers
