Update time!! Life got in the way for a bit, but I'm back to wrap this up!
All in all it was a very successful grow. We ended up with about 3 lbs of bud, it is fluffier than my previous product but the quality is amazzzzzing! We sampled some buds just a week after washing them, and my husband (who has sensitive lungs) said it tasted better and was smoother than product we have had curing for 2+ years. The terpenes are insane, especially on Wonder Woman. I will write a more detailed smoke report later.
Here are some pics and notes for how the flowering stretch and harvest turned out:
A couple cola shots, the thicker one is WW, slimmer buds from NL.
Preharvest, both ladies (WW in front, NL in back). WW ended up getting some PM, there was condensation dripping on her throughout flowering. That + wet + cold = mold. No biggie, I just trimmed away the icky parts and sprayed the rest with a friendly bacteria solution.
After harvesting WW, you can see NL in the background:
This was hilarious....after I finished WW, the whole greenhouse blew off NL! I was going to wait a day to harvest but I guess she was ready to go. Sometimes the universe works in mysterious ways...
Bud washing, the first bucket was water and hydrogen peroxide to kill any lingering mildew. Then I used a solution of sodium ascorbate (Vitamin C powder), raw manuka honey, and a type of tea called Jhoulang added to the other two buckets. I figured after hitting the buds with the peroxide, they could use some antioxidants. Honey is also great at destroying mold and bacteria.
WW wet, here she is post-harvest hanging in my old 4x4 tent.
NL after drying, here she is in my 4x8 tent. We left the leaves on and let them dry/cure old school for 3 weeks upside down.
Final harvest, those are my trusty 1.5 gallon jars. NL filled 4 of those jars, and I managed to fit WW into two C-vaults. As you can see we left a lot of the sugar leaves and small fan leaves on, I think this will help the flavor profile improve even more as they cure.
Conclusion: Growing outdoors is fun but scary. I will try it again this year but with supplemental lighting so we get denser buds. We basically had no sunlight this October, which is when the girls really needed the most light. I will utilize better airflow and check for excess moisture before any PM gets established.
In terms of plant care, this was the easiest grow by far. I think with a few tweaks next round I can have the best of both worlds- super tasty outdoor grown goodness, with the density of indoor buds.
Next update will be an official smoke report for both strains and some close up pics after curing a bit longer!
Thank you everyone for following and giving support, as always, questions, comments, and feedback are welcome!
