Thanks so much for the encouragement guys, its much appreciated. ;)

On a happy note, the Courts have ruled against the Government of Canada, anyone who had their MMJ growers license before the new laws take effect, are going to be allowed to continue to grow after Apr.1st. How long after Apr.1st is still a question but we will take whatever victories we can get against the conservative government. ;)
 
Found this again, and wanted close at had when its harvest time. Due to the minor bug problem through my grow and the "mighty wash" pesticide I used on the plant I'm gonna wash my buds at harvest I think.

Quoted from Docbud.

I'm glad to see people are adopting my bud washing technique!

Yes, I "invented" it. I shared it with you folks here on 420....and nowhere else. I've never met, spoken to, or heard about anyone else doing it before I tried it.....and I enjoy freaking people out by putting fresh buds in a bucket of water....

But as many have said here, the results speak for themselves!

Let me put it to you like this:

Let's say I grew lettuce, cucumbers, tomatos and carrots in my basement. It's dusty down there, I've got fans flowing all around....battled with some PM, had some mites.....every now and then I get some rot or other disease on my plants....bugs flying around, dead skin cells, hair.....and I spray the plants with compost tea, fish fertilizer, kelp meal, etc.

So, you wanna come over for a salad? We'll just pull the veggies out of the ground, plop 'em in a bowl and start eating! No need to wash.....right?

The first time you wash your harvest and see all that brown crap left behind you'll begin to see the light! Then, when you smoke your first washed harvest, you'll understand.

For those who are new to this, here's my method:

4 buckets total. (5 gallon buckets are perfect)

Bucket 1: 3 parts RO water to 1 part 3% H202.
Bucket 2: 5 gallons of RO with 1 cup baking soda, 1 cup Lemon Juice
Buckets 3 and 4: RO only.

Cut down plants, pull off fan leaves by hand, remove any necrotic leaves. Leave sugar leaves and anything with frosting on the plant.

Fully submerge in bucket 1 (H2O2) for 30 seconds. Submerge for a full minute if you had ANY sign of PM or bud rot. Let water drip from buds and then.....

Fully submerge in buckets 2 through 4 for 30 seconds each...lightly agitating the whole time.

Allow produce to drip dry. You can blow a fan on it if you like, just make sure it's blowing clean air.

Hang and dry per usual.

Final manicure of buds is best done after they dry. It goes very fast and you're left with washed, highly resinous trim....makes superb joints. I'm also educating my customers to select untrimmed buds, which are actually better than the manicured ones because they still have sugar leaves attached. The trichomes in the leaves have more THC than those in the buds.....so it's good to get the whole spectrum in there.

I give instructions for this in my journals, as I do it every single week, on every single harvest. Once you try it, you'll never go back.

This works so well for a couple reasons:

1. takes off dirt, foliar sprays, bugs, fiberglass dust, etc.
2. fully hydrates the leaves, allowing photosynthesis to occur for a day or two on cut and trimmed buds. I recommend leaving a light on the buds for the first day or two after washing.

This results in very, dense, clean burning, smooth tasting produce! That's the basic recipe....and I'm tweaking and changing it all the time.

Warning: Do NOT use an "organic produce wash" that is based on oils! They sell these in grocery stores and health food stores, and while they might be good for lettuce and cukes....the oil removes resin from the plants.....don't use it!

Water will not harm resin....oil can and does.

Anyone who wants to know more about my methods is welcome to ask me about them anytime!

Yeah was thinking of doing this next harvest. Would probably be great for outdoor growers especially.

Indoor or out, Its supposed to make for a very smooth smoke. I'll let you know how it turns out.;)

:):surf::yahoo:congrats for your harvest just passed by to say hello and see you are completing :high-five:

:ciao: Hi Jaga, nice to see you buddy. Yeah, I'm supposed to start the Flush tomorrow night when I do reservoir changes. Not sure if I'm gonna though, I think an extra week might be good. I'm gonna scope out the trichomes tomorrow when I go over, and depending on cloudy/amber percentages I might let her go another week. Pics tomorrow night, but last time I saw her she still had lots of pistils that hadn't browned yet.

Hi stealthgrow. I am late but subbed. Very nice grows you got going as usual. Can't wait to see the blue mystic harvest pics and watch OG develop.

Hi smiles.:ciao:
Welcome to the party.
Harvest is still a couple weeks away for the Blue Mystic, and we are only 6 days into flower for the OG Kush so your timing is perfect. ;)

What's up SP. Hope you had a good week. I'm gonna do an update with new pics tomorrow night buddy. ;)
 
Hi everyone. :ciao:

Tonight was reservoir change night for the girls so its update time. ;)

The Blue Mystic is on day 56 of flower and she's looking great but I'm not feeling the firmness in the buds yet, and there are only the odd one or two amber trichomes, the trics are mostly clear or cloudy, so I've decided to give her another week. Flush starts for sure next Friday.
The silver lining is that due to the extra week in flower my rotation might not be as messed up as I thought. ;)

Blue Mystic Stats
PPM= 420
PH= 5.8
Air Temp= 73F
Water Temp= 64F
RH= 50-60%

The OG Kush is on day 7 of flower and is coming along nicely, although she is super bushy and I'm finding it hard to spread her out in the net. We are only a week since the flip though so the plant hasn't stretched much yet....its a work in progress. I removed some of the leaves from the bottom of the plant, and cleaned up some of the choked out growth. Most of the leaves I removed were already half dead, or really small yellowish growth from the middle of the plant that doesn't get any light. I'm not gonna remove anymore leaves until the day 21 strip and clean under the trellis net.


Oddly enough after I refilled the reservoirs, fed the girls fresh nutes and PH'd the water, both closets PPM's came out to 420.;) I'm taking it as a sign of good luck.


OG Kush Stats
PPM= 420
PH= 5.8
Air Temp= 73F
Water Temp= 69F
RH= 45%

After I spread out the plant on the net as much as possible, and cleaned up under the net a little.

That's it for another week, I'm gonna keep a real close eye on the Blue Mystic over the next few days and might start the flush mid-week, I'll keep you all posted. Questions and comments are always welcome, and as always, stay medicated my friends. ;)
 
looking good! definitely give her at least 65 days of bloom. 70 days from pistil is the sweet spot for most of my grows :thumb:

Yeah, I think your right b.
I'm most likely gonna start the flush next Friday on day 63, and then harvest after 7 day flush on day 70.
Thanks for stopping in. ;)
 
Looks Great Stealth :thumb: Great day to you man
