I like the way you think:)
 
I just pulled the OG Kush!! The trichs were about 70%. It was about twice as big as the Sour AK. I hope it weighs twice as much more when it is dryed and weighed. It was a beautiful plant and very sticky.
I wanted to pull another plant mid week so I can make some dry ice hash this weekend. I should have enough shake off the 3 plants harvested so far to make several grams.
The plants yet to be harvested are...Purple Haze, Tangerine Dream and the Violator Kush. All three plants are going to be out by the weekend.
The veg plants are doing very well with the GLR. I was going to GLR under the 1000w but I think they will be ready to go straight to 12/12. I have to admit I am very surprised how well the veg plants are doing with the reduced light schedule.
I really love this site. I have learned so much from all of you. From the nutes to the lighting. There is so much to learn and unlearn!! LoL!!

Thanks James! I am very pleased with the GLR. It really does work!!

I do have a question about harvesting I hope you or anyone can answer. Or if there is an answer. Here is my question.

All the previous harvests I have had I have waited till the trichs were amber And hairs receded in the bud. Sometimes I have waited so long that I have produced seeds from my plants. It has been normal for me to go 4 to 8 weeks past the estimated mature time from the seed manufacturer. I think that is one reason I had bigger yeilds. However I am now thinking that even though I had bigger yeilds my smoke was not as potent. The smoke that I recently harvested is of same THC as the smoke I have grown before. Yet it seems much more potent. Does this make sense?
Do you think there is a window of a plants life in maturity when the plant starts loosing potency? And if there is a window, how long is it? I really believe in some of my previous harvests I waited too long and lost potency.

Hey CF! :thumb:

Well, yes there is a week long window that opens up for prime harvesting. I'm telling this from memory, so here goes. First of all, it depends on what kind of smoke you want it to be. Couchlock comes at 25 to 50% amber. Thats the way I like mine. Anything past that is going to be less. In fact the window will be closing.
In all honesty, you should be taking quick dry samples as you get close to harvest time. If the sample suits your taste...harvest then....if not keep taking samples until it is what you want.

In my first grow I completely forgot a little Papaya I had..when I checked her trics she was solid amber. Best stuff I ever grew, so go figure.

As you know the seed banks tell us the time to harvest under perfect conditions, which obviously we do not have, so most will go a week or two longer. Do some searching around to see when others have harvested the same strain. There are a couple of sites out there that have actually grown different strains and list the actual best time to harvest. Sorry, can't mention them here on 420, so you will have find them yourself.

Xlr8 in one of his journals details all this...sorry I do not have that link. Wish I did. Don't know if this has helped you or not, but it gives you a place to starting place to takes samples. :thumb:

Your right!! This site is a wealth of knowledge.... I love it!!!

I don't know about time schedules but I know I have read that the longer they go the THC sorta degrades into CBD. Don't know much more than that though.

You are correct fish cake......then it depends on weather you want the high or the medical benefits.:Namaste:

That makes a lot of sense. The THC degrading to CBD as time goes on! Thanks for the input!!

Thanks for your reply my friend. I remember scanning something on this subject before somewhere. I bet it was on X's journal. I do notice a difference. I think a lot of my previous harvests I have let the plants go too far into flower.
When I looked at your Church that you just harvested it looked to me like it was 70% or more amber! I bet that is going to be some great couch lock smoke!

:circle-of-love: It is couchlock.......waping some right now.....Time to go watch some TV.

That was what I was after. When I really want couchlock I let them get ruby red mostly! A beautiful sight to see. :Namaste:

I think I'll ask xlr8 when he comes back on.

Sounds like great smoke! I thought the trichs were more amber on your Church plant than the OG Kush I harvested yesterday. I love the couch lock effect. That is what I want every time I grow an indica! That is a great question for Xlr8.

I think X also has a an opinion from DJ Short on his idea of harvest time.-:high-five:

Nice buds cf
sissor hash sure is good though RoorRip

I agree. I like the sissor hash. I notice the hairs that make up the sissor hash end up in the trim bucket. I am going to make some dry ice hash this weekend. I just love that stuff.

Sounds good ...I usually make gumby hash with mineRoorRip

I love the gumby hash too. When I tried the dry ice method there is no going back. I seem to get more quality and quanitity in a shorter period of time with dry ice. Plus you can smoke it immediately after you start making it.

Here we go. Final weight of the OG Kush. 41.5 Grams. I will be doing a smoke report by tomorrow. I smoked some popcorn bud and really like the deep taste of the OG.

Thanks Partner!! It is delicious! I have 3 plants to go. The Veg plants are 12/12 ready now. They are all 12inches or more in height except for the clone. I am just going to let them all flower at the same time and have another harvest in 60 days.
Stay tuned. I am going to try and write a short story of a segment of my life!!
:thanks:

We were all sitting around awaiting our fates. We all just graduated from high school. Jobs were scarce. Carl, Mike, Randy, and Chuck and yours truly. We just got finished smoking bong hits of Columbian Gold and were all feeling very stoned. "Don’t throw that bong water out", yelled Chuck. Chuck was a big overweight guy. He was as dumb as a sack of rocks. "Don’t throw the bong water out! Give the bong to me. Chuck promply drank the thick, black, smelly bong water and it was dripping from his adolescent beard! I promptly had to leave the room. My stomach felt like exploding out of my mouth. Not just because I just saw one of the grossest things a young man can see. We were just out of High School. Carl, Mike,Randy I was scheduled for boot camp in a few weeks. Carl and I were going into the Marines and Randy was going Army. It was a strange feeling of excitement and fear.
