:thankyou::cheesygrinsmiley: You're mostly learning what NOT to do! LOL
Honestly I'm amazed everytime I look into the tent. I never expected to get much of a harvest from this first run.
Gotta say I'm very happy with these plants!:thanks:

Hey, some of my best friends are assholes-
I just keep one fact in mind:
Assholes are just like electrical sockets- you dont want to stick a fork in either one of them!:cheesygrinsmiley:

More words of wisdom to live by:)
 
Well I went in and took a peek at the girls before the light went off. I'm trying to get the logistics of everything in place for harvest, so I decided to count colas to see how many will need hanging to dry. There's at least 28 big ones besides all the popcorn stuff. OMG- I'm going to need more drying boxes and I forgot that I'm going to have to figure out some way to rig a screen for all the popcorn buds.:scratchinghead:
i've been looking at one of those hanging drying racks on amazon but can't find one small enough to fit in the closet where I plan on drying all that popcorn. I'm thinking of making my own drying rack with pvc,duct tape and some screen.

It's looking like this will be a bit of a staggered harvest. My bronzed bomb is way ahead of the others -all her pistils are red and she's the only one with a couple amber trics. (The 8 others have only a few orange pistils and cloudy tricomes.)

The friends I was expecting to arrive for a visit this week cancelled, as one of them fell ill. I'm actually glad not to have company as there's still a lot I need to do to get ready- plus i want to give the house a good cleaning before the harvest starts.

Have a great day everyone! :ciao:
 
you can use a cake rack or even window screens or the cardboard box or even brown paper bags :) the brown paper bags would be the cheapest way to go you will just need many as you only want a single layer of bud in each and you would need to turn the buds regularly.
as a matter of fact you should do the same with drying racks so your buds don't get flat on one side but that's a esthetic thing so if your not looking for Donations (wink wink)for your work then it don't matter. so if you don't have anywhere else to dry it go with the box and clothes line them or in bags (many) and dry it that way:)
 
NO You have a great day Young Lady! thank you for the Reps:circle-of-love:

Hi fish cake! :)Think I might have lucked out and found a drying rack that will fit in the closet. Its got a 24" diameter and the closet is 24"x48"so hopefully it will fit and allow for a bit of air space on the sides too. Its going to be too tall but a pair of scissors will cure that. I have no idea if it will arrive in time, so I may use your paper bag suggestion too. So far I have scissors, gloves, boxes, twine, clothespins, a fan for the room, a glass tray to trim over,and a humidifier if needed.
On its way is the drying rack, a couple hygrometers and the ever so important scale, so I can see what they yield.
I think I'm ready.
P.S. I'm not worried about esthetics- this is all for personal use for the 3 of us. That it smokes good is all that matters.
P.P.S. Oh and I now have 4 Blue Moonshine seeds for the next run too! :party:

Flower, the girl with the red pistols, are the withered? Or just red? I assume with the ambers they have shriveled back?
Btw good weed ma'am. :circle-of-love:

Hi Spimp- good weed to you too!:circle-of-love:
Yes the pistils are red and withered. It actually makes the colas look skinnier as a result too. I'm guessing that's normal?:hmmmm:

Bet knowing its under there makes for sweet dreams though.:)

I hang it, then trim it all off the stems and grade it according to cola size...............if that popcorn will cut up and roll I smoke it......my smoke is my #1 product, everything else is just #2. I can't see makin hash out of perfectly smokable weed...........25% thc content weed will still give you just a smidgeon of your original weight....and I smoke hash just as fast as I smoke weed! Smart girl getting everything ready early!
 
Thanks Mcloadie, but it's not smartness its impatience!:cheesygrinsmiley:
Gotta say I agree with your thoughts on weed vs hash. Plus bud tastes lots better than hash too!
One of my pineapples never did really develop buds- just sugar leaves. Can't imagine trying to smoke it, so it looks like I will get a chance to make hash, butter or something. I love that your girls are a week or so ahead of mine- Helps me anticipate whats coming next! :peace:
 
Think I got a bit carried away last nite. I decided I was sick of looking at damaged leaves and constantly tucking fan leaves away. So I trimmed them up- a lot. This tub is half full.

This is the three pineapples who rarely get out of the tent due to being too tall to move without fear of breaking them. I took off all their yellow foilage.

All of them back in the tent. They are thinned out enough that the back wall is now visible thru them.

This probably wasn't the best time to pluck so many leaves but they sure look better.
 
sounds perfect! but don't forget the oreos and grapes just in case anyone gets the munchies:)
A fine weednesday to you Young Lady:)
Oh and you will never grow another brand of smoke once that moonshine is in your vape. and be careful it grows like a weed:)
