First Grow In Over 20 Years! Northern Lights Under 600W LED

[InTheShed]

Are you going to keep this journal going or start a new one with the new seeds? You can always have the mods rename this one if you want to keep it alive.

Always nice to be able to plan for future grows!

I can’t help myself.

I have heard that some plants just won't amber no matter how long you leave them, but the clears should go cloudy. In terms of sleeping meds, if you don't get the amber you want, do a crappy job of drying and curing. High temps, in the light, not high RH though because that would mean rot. But that kind of poor drying will degrade the THC to CBN and give you more couch lock. Store the jars in the light as well!

Never heard of that. May give it a try, thanks. I appreciate you take the time to drop by and give advice. I really don’t know how you can keep up with your journal it’s so busy and visit others as well.

I've got time on my hands at work .

If I was going to start a new journal I really should have done it by now because I already have my second-generation under the budding lights so I don’t see the point in starting one now for the third-generation because also I will have clones started when I start those seeds so it is like a continuation more than a new chapter.

So yes maybe eventually I will change the name or just keep it the same so people recognize it; not really sure yet.

I've got time on my hands at work .

That is just great you get to be paid to be out here because I was honestly just thinking the other day that some people out here should be paid because they are so helpful.

I am getting paid but don't tell my boss .

Just to let you know I took your advice and picked up White Widow and OG Kush in Dinafem. Should be starting one of each of them in a week or two. Will try and keep you posted if I can remember but hopefully you will drop by if I forget.

Sweeeet Homer!! You know I’ll be popping in I always do! Can’t wait to see them ladies go! Love WW since they were my First ever plants (which I will redo again some day!!) and OG holds True to it’s name! I look forward to see what they turn into for you and I know you will do great things

Hey, glad to see you popping in Dutchman. Encouraging to hear from another WW enthusiast. Now that I have my new seeds I am looking forward to my next generation more than ever. I feel like a kid in a candy shop, lol.

Ever since getting them out of the closet and getting fans on them this crop seems really healthy and happy much more so than my last one at this stage. Now I have an oscillating fan underneath them and the ceiling fan blowing down on them. You guys are certainly right about air circulation.

After letting it cure for a couple of weeks I made some CBD oil from my CBDutch Treat I got from Crop King, which is supposed to be 8% CBD and 4% THC, today. I took half an ounce or 14 g of bud and added 6 ounces or approximately 180 mL of olive oil. From that I retrieved about 4 ½ ounces. I think I can recover a little more than that if I find a way to really squeeze the bud and if worse comes to worse I do have a 50 ton press in my garage.


Just doing rough calculations I think I have approximately 150 mg of CBD and 75 mg of THC in each bottle. I made a big boo-boo when I gave Shed the wrong numbers for my oil making and I accidentally told him (or you if that is you reading this Shed) that I used 7 g but in reality I only use 3.5 g so my oil is not in the 38 grams per millilitre range instead I am around 14.


This is actually good news because it means I’m using about half as much oil as I thought and one bottle which takes less than an eighth of an ounce of cured bud to make will last me over a week taken for a nice relaxing interesting evening and a good sleep. I expect once I harvest all the bud from my first grow I should be between eight and 9 ounces but even if it is only eight that means I just grew myself a 64 weeks supply. That kind of math should make for some happy friends too!

They look very pretty and happy! How many of these are quadlined?

I am really liking these new emoji's too!!

 

[InTheShed]

I'm reading that...do you want me to recalculate?

 

[Homer Simpson]

Hey Asesino; glad you dropped by. I have three pots in this grow and two of those pots have a single plant that is quadlined. The one in the front left is a Yummy and the rear left is Cannatonic and they are both quadlined. The one on the right has three Northern Lights cuttings in it so it is not quadlined.

 

[Homer Simpson]

Sure. That way I can recheck my math. I didn't write it down so I will do it again too.

 

[InTheShed]

8% CBD / 4% THC
14 grams of buds
180ml oil
80% efficiency
1ml of oil = 4.98mg CBD and 2.49 mg THC.

Nice! They all look pretty even so you have a nice canopy going on with all that. It's a good thing you were also able to identify the airflow problem early on because if they start budding up with no airflow then it's almost a for sure they will get mold and can ruin the entire grow.

I don’t know if you will understand my math but I am extremely close to your result. Not always the best at explaining.

14,000×.8×.08 equals which makes 896 mg of total recovered CBD. Divided by six for the six bottles that means each bottle had 149.3 mg in total of CBD oil and if you divide that by 29.5 for the number of grams in an ounce that comes to 5.05 mg/mL. Of CBD and the THC would just be half that.

Thanks Asesino; I am getting good canopies my problem is keeping them healthy but better luck lately. I didn't really identify the airflow problem as get told about my airflow problem, lol.
