Thanks guys... its been a tough few days. All the kind words really help for sure. Good news .... found a breeder with some a litter of Shar-Pei pups about 5 weeks old. The breeder just happens to be in Ontario on our way to Cottage 420... no shit 30 minutes past our exit to go north. Already contacted her. I'm on it.
Scooby was our 2nd Shar-Pei and I found him by luck similar situation, previous dog passed and we were heart broke. We picked up Scooby about a week or so after my other buddy died. So hey I'm feeling a little better. Been in contact with the breeder and we are making plans.
Ok so back to cannabis journaling.
All the last round is harvested and in jars. We had 4 plants that we harvested over the last few weeks, 3 Citrus Berry and 1 Chemdawg.
2 Citrus Berry were under a COB array. The others under Blurple 5w LEDs and the yield was less by about 25-30% on the blurples. (2.5 zips dry average)
2 Citrus Berry under COB array yield dry was = 8.4 zips dry - average of 4.2 zips / plant in containers indoors. I'll take it. Need to dial in some more and see if we can improve on that. I pretty much did nothing but water this last round, I wanted to see if I could get a good baseline. Also going pretty much straight water this round as well since it's really the first run with all COBs.
Currently we have 4 Chemdag Purp clones going, 2 Devils Tit Clones and 3 Labyrinth from seed maybe 4.... going from memory so TIFWIW. hahaha
I'll have to go get my pen and notebook out and start that up.
All the plants are just getting going in flower except the big Chemdawg, she's about 21 days from flip. She was in VEG for I think about 3 months and was going to flower or getting REAL close to it so I just put her in flower and let her rip. She's huge, and her big fans are already falling off. So I'm expecting an early harvest say 50ish days she's going to be a fast finisher.
Been busy harvesting, trimming, jarring and canning. C-Vault FTMFW! In between muggy cool days.. the worst possible for harvest time.
Imagine harvesting, drying plants that just never dry... turn to mush... mold and compost. Not doing that.
Thank freaking God I sprayed all these plants in VEG with HorseTail Fern tea.. No mold/PM... I should have had it big time. We are talking trimming dry buds then limp as soggy btm... OMG. So far so gooooo no mold. We got a 3 day reprieve on the RH and I was able to trim and into jars before the humidity came back. Problem is it's cool.. in the 50sF and high RH.... the dew point is about the same as the outdoor temps. Think sweating when it's 60F outside... yuk. Freshly cut canna flowers ... not good.
OK pic time:
Showin off.. buds in a vase - ready for trim. That's 18" from counter top to the btm of the cabs... so yeah big buds here - this is Citrus Berry # 3 before trim.
Movin on to current round - Chemdawg the Purps clone @ 20ish days in flower...
Chemdawg the Purps - close up
Chemdawg the Purps - close up lower down nugs
More Chemdawg lower nuggage.
Exotic Genetics - Labyrinth = Spirit in the Sky X The Cube (M) - Indica 60/40 - THC: 22-26%
Flower Cycle: 56 days.
Just getting going. I'm depending on that 56 day forecast... she took like 14 days to get flowers.
Exotic Genetics - Labyrinth #2
Chemdawg the Purps ... A lot of cola's. I trimmed out a bunch of branches to get more light down lower a few weeks ago.
Citrus Berry #2 - this plant was A LOT more fluffy and airy nugs but more citrus and berry smell. Yield was on par with her sisters just more larger airy and more fox tails. This one is actually looking GREAT in the jar!
Citrus Berry # 3 before harvest! yummmy.
Pics of the new pup in the works. Gotta 'nother one coming our way WOO-FUKING-WOO... Maybe thats a good name .. WooHoo Shing Lang - she's a lady in disguise!
