Nice harvest .. my neck hurts from turning sideways too see pics lol

Yeah I have no idea why this phone wants to smash everything sideways... I'm trying to make due tho haha

My guess is you will be over 4. Not by much though.

The weight will probably surprise you. I'm terrible at guessing lol. Can't wait to hear the numbers

It's been awhile and I forgot how much she shrank as it dried lol It's probably going to be closer to 2.5 but that's still tonnes more than I had before!

 

[Cannabeard]

So the final weight was about 40g, there was some serious wishful thinking on my part! Turned out to be some nice smoke though but I definitely should have let it mature another week or so.

Lesson learned!

 

[Buckshot317]

That's the tricky part, got to check the triches. I probably let em go too long. You gotcha some smoke .. Great thing, it only gets better, the more you grow.

Yeah I've ordered a 30x loop so I can inspect them, going by the hairs isn't the most accurate method and the childlike anticipation doesn't help haha

It's some nice stuff too, a little immature but it smokes really nice and has a decent flavor, especially the second plant.

Even though I should have left it another week or two it's still about par with the stuff around and burns better. I don't think a lot of local growers use the best genetics or know how to properly flush before harvest so now that I'm dialed in the my results should be way above anything I can get locally.

 

[Cannabeard]

Especially when I flip my photos I've been training the shit out of them and they'll all be in 5 gal pots this week. I'm hoping to have them vegged enough for the flip by the end of July.

 

[Buckshot317]

Congrats man, it will only get better from here on out. Those hairs will fool ya, need to get microscope. I wish they made a decent one for iPhone or android that is cheap. Once you get your routine down, you'll be killing it.

 

[Cannabeard]

Some of the vegged and trained ladies, as you can see I went ham on the Blue Dream and it'll be a bush now.

The stank that came from the Critical Kush plants was mind blowing. I've never smelled a plant so dank while in vegatative growth. I am super stoked on them.

Gorilla Glue and White Widow autos are flowering out nicely.

The last 2 Blue Dream Autos are beefing up, I'll be feeding them another week than do a 2 week flush. This time I'm going to stick to it lol

Looks like your tent is full. The last pic is about to swell up, gonna be nice

I've still got a bit of room on the one side, I've just been sticking rooted clones over there.

I still haven't put up the last panel as I haven't ordered the last 2 chips but the control box is on its way! I'm hoping it's going to be big enough.

It's 15.7"x13.7" and has to fit 8 meters and 8 potentiometers.

I'll be able to start checking trichs tomorrow when my new toy arrives

 

[Buckshot317]

That's what I'm doing now. I thought I was going to need 5 meters. But I'm using 3, 2-cob drivers, and 1 for the 3 drivers for the boards. I got a bigger box too, 14 or 15 x 12, 6" deep. Amazon $30, plastic box. Gotta make backplate, so I can mount din rail+terminal blocks. Or just use back of box.

 

[Cannabeard]

I just got my jewellery loupe and checked my trichomes and they're all clear still.

I'm trying to figure out what they should look like before I start the 2 week flush but am not getting anywhere lol
I am guessing just as they start to turn milky?

You think you know so much about something until you hit something like this and you feel like a noob abain haha

 

[Cannabeard]

I just read the first sign of amber, so I'll go for that since I want a 30/70 amber to cloudy and see where that gets me.

 

[Buckshot317]

Keep an eye on them. You will watch the change. Clear-Milky, then when you have 10% amber, ready. That's how I always done it. But if all of them are milky, that point on. They'll stop drinking water at that point.

 

[Cannabeard]

I got those 2 meters in the mail today that I already got a refund for lol

That was a nice surprise, now I only need 6 more

I also cut the last 2 BD Autos off nutes, 1 is 3 days into flush and the other is on day 2.

The 1st one has about 2-3% amber but the rest are milky, the 2nd is probably like 1% amber but still has some clear trichomes atm.

Do they gain weight at all during the flush?

 

[Buckshot317]

Yea , they should keep swelling, I just started flush too. Been having to put stakes up, couple collapses lol. As long as they're drinking water they're growing.

That first one probably ready whenever you are. I have a tendency to go too long. I haven't even looked at mine yet, need to, but they don't look ready yet.
