Re: Early greenhouse grow
Here I am trying to decide when to stop giving nutrients and prepare to harvest. My 2 strains will definitely be ready at the same time.
IMHO I give these about 4 more weeks.
These will be first. There is still new growth popping out at every tip. Was hoping to start the harvesting in 2 weeks but I now have my doubts. Trics are yet to start clouding up.

Re: Early greenhouse grow
Cut a sample of each strain. Another way to evaluate where we stand.
Left is the Golden goat. Center is original cookies. On the right is the tits.

Nice swollen calyxes on Cookies, on the other hand your leafy tits can be a killer sativa with explosive high hidden right under

Re: Early greenhouse grow
Off to the greenhouse after a weekend away burning some great outdoor bud.
Today I will decide if the harvesting plan for the weekend in on schedule. I have a feeling I am jumping the gun.
Wondering if this grow is going to finish like a fall grow. They are yet to stop new growth. Hairs are beginning to change and the trichomes are looking good.
Question: trichomes be the final decision as I see it. fresh new growth???

Re: Early greenhouse grow
General bud density is the largest determining factor for me.

Re: Early greenhouse grow
I always go with trichomes trying to get somewhere between 90% cloudy and 20% amber. If you plan on curing them at least 8 months, it makes sense to pull early as trichomes will mature after harvest, and after this period you'll see a huge spike in potency.

Re: Early greenhouse grow
Another week to go.
All the signs are for a bit more time to fill in and get more cloudy.
The plan was to harvest about 2 weeks apart with the 2 strains. I do think the first 2 pics here will be ready a bit before the rest.
It's going to be a good harvest.

Re: Early greenhouse grow
Looks good but still seems like they could use quite a bit longer to put on that weight

Re: Early greenhouse grow
Almost forgot the update.
Since we had to extend the grow season by a week I am going to add nutes as earlier for the next 2 days then back to flushing for a harvest starting on 5-10-14.
Rained last week and found 4 colas with bud rot. Hit 115 in the greenhouse yesterday and is hotter today. The big fan is running and it is 95 in there today.
Cleaned it out real good and pulled them open for more air. There are a few drips in the roof. Funny thing is that the bud rot was right under them. Go figure.

Re: Early greenhouse grow
Going to dial in the drying room this weekend. A very crucial step in medicine production.
My good friend, who is the greenhouse guru, has recommended that I defoliate shade leaves a week before harvest. He says it improves the sweetness. Just having trouble swallowing this with what goes on about this subject.
Since there are 8 of the Golden Goat plants going down next Saturday/Sunday I might do 4 each way. One of the tits is also looking more mature then her siblings. It is a slight different jean pool.
Any thoughts?

Re: Early greenhouse grow
Definitely, defoliate. You're gonna cut nitrogen reserves that way and improve sun exposure to lower branches.

Re: Early greenhouse grow
Then it is a date. I will defoliate on Monday and begin the harvest on Saturday.

Re: Early greenhouse grow
You should base your harvest on trichome maturity. Most people harvest from 5%-30% amber trichomes. Harvest at 5%-15% amber trichomes for a "head high" energetic effect and harvest at 30%-50% amber trichomes for a "body stone" sedative effect strain dependent.

Re: Early greenhouse grow
So TITS, This Is The Shit. Coming to a California medical cannabis dispensary near you soon. The Cookie Company has it now.
Found a worm last night. First one. Hope he is alone.
Amber trichomes are coming on strong. I would say 10% clear 80% cloudy and 10% amber or so with 5 days to go.
Trimmed a large grocery bag stuffed full of leaves. Must have been about 4 pounds. It's going to be a long weekend. Everything is coming down.
Clear H2O for the past 5 days. 4 more to go.
Clones were cut today for the next run. I am getting a special cutting this time. Tits ((OG Kush + Durban Poison) + Sour Diesel)) crossed back with more OG. The sample run was awesome. Oh ya and a hash plant.

Great news indeed. Now work it out into a stable seed line

Guess that would colloidal silver and feminized seeds. Interesting thought. Interesting journey. These genetics are worth writing home about.

Re: Early greenhouse grow
heading out to the grow for the weekend tonight. Will cycle in the drying room and prepare for morning. It's going to be a long weekend. I will have good pics soon as I am going to use a real camera this time to record my accomplishments. This is my biggest and best grow ever.
What I can see and the pics my phone camera take are just not the same.

Re: Early greenhouse grow
Oh ya, some info on their last weeks of life.
Last nutes given 10 days ago. Pure H2O flush for 8 days then 2 dry days at the end. We hit 14 hours of daylight 3 days ago. No sign of revegging at this point. If anything the Golden Goat is more leafy then the Tits and is still throwing leaves out. Tricomes are a beautiful shade of a few clear mostly cloudy and a few amber as of a week ago.
Last debate: Should I take the plants complete or leave the bottom third for another 10 days or so? If so, I would flood them with nutes for 2 days then flush again. I have 3 weeks to wait for my new clones so the time is available. Ya, sure pictures would help.
