Hey guys, sorry for no update for awhile, been busy and not thinking about journals.
I harvested the lady on 3/24 and have been drying the bud on the kitchen table sense the day before yesterday. She was having continual spider mite problems which I tried to control it half assedly with humidity, daily sprays with a water bottle, and wiping leaves individually, but the top center of the plant was still hit pretty bad, with 80% of the top most center leaves severely yellowed by mites. They seemed to concentrate under where the light was closest to the plant. Next time I'll get that stuff you were talking about king john.
Now my harvest is in zip locks that I open and air out daily. They seem just about right to the touch, so I decided to weigh them.
I separated trim, popcorn bud, light bud, and dense bud.
The weights are 2.3 oz dense bud, 22.5 grams light bud, and I didn't weigh the popcorn or trim. I did turn the popcorn into ice water hash, and the trim into qwiso hash... The ISO got way to dark, very sappy, but smokes surprisingly smooth, and unfortunately leaves a lot of soot and resin on my new little scientific bong, with a glass nail. I pressed The ice water hash using a hot water filled glass jar and a corner of a ziplock, after drying it as a powder, and it burns to a fine powder/resin. Both are pretty potent. I use less than a half grain of rice sized piece and I'm good for several hours. All in all it's just over 3oz bud and maybe a gram each of hash. Not bad off of a 120 actual watt L.E.D. (133 including fans) it's about .75 grams a watt not including the hash! I have some lower quality trim and stems that I'll make butter out of. Can't wait to try with a non bag seed, though I've definitely been happy with these last two.
I'm excited to keep this girl going in the background.
There was quite a bit of very popcorny buds from under the canopy that I put back under the light to see if they will mature on the plant. Soon I'll be putting her back to veg cycle yet again.
I'll also be getting a sour diesel clone in the next few weeks hopefully!
Front left is my favorite lookin bud, then normal dense nugs, then lighter nugs, then popcorn but in back left, then trim, then stems and not as good trim.
I'll put up more photos soon I think
