How about a Saturday harvest/Sunday update!
Yesterday was flip day 76 and the rain finally moved on, so I started working on taking off the fans from the Jack Herer. As I dug into it I noticed how sick-looking the plant was, with tons of pale green growth that didn't seem to have any trichomes. I spent a long time taking all that crap off before I harvested.
Here is the plant before:
Here is most of what came off:
And a close-up of what I'm talking about:
You can see that some of the branches don't look all that healthy:
And here is what was left when I actually chopped it down:
On some of the branches I removed everything and on some I only left the top inch or two.
I'm thinking it's something down in the roots that does that, and I'll see if I can tell anything when the pot dries out and I break it down. Anyway, that was one of the two.
Next was the Sour G. Much healthier but not all that happy as you can see by what it looked like
earlier in the week here. Looks a lot better with the fans off, that's for sure:
Because of the rain I got a late start, so trimming wasn't all done and cleaned up until after 1am with the three of us working. Here is Sour G hanging:
And here's what's left of the Jack Herer:
Pretty airy and fluffy, but I hope it's a glimpse of what the JH legend is supposed to be!
Anyway, that's the less-than-satisfactory end to the winter grow, and as I mentioned before, I won't be doing this again. Winter is for vegging!
I hope your weekend went well, and the week ahead looks healthy and happy.

Hope the rain lets up and you are able to get both plants harvested today. Looking forward to see what you grow next (aside from the DV). Have you decided on that yet?
Thanks Boo! I think after the DV will come all the odds and ends I have growing so I can clean house before the summer. That means flowering out the big Candida and the Jack Herer 1.1 clone along with another shot at making seeds from the revegging Sour G collection. Once all that is in process I can go through the seed collection and see what the summer will bring.
