JadeLotus First Stealth Grow!

[Pittbull72]

There is no feeling in the world like sitting back and enjoying the smoke that you grew yourself! Now the hard part....more waiting....the dry/cure is the longest wait for me because you know your so close!

 

[JadeLotus]

let's have a moment of silence for my lady.

My mother-in-law showed up right on time to help trim. Said it reminded her of when she used to grow as a kid and grabbed the extra scissors and joined in. As we were chatting, smoking, and listening to the rain, she said we should throw the bottom of the plant back in and finish in a week or two. She has experience so I went along with it.

Here is what's left.

Condolences and congratulations lol

Letting the bottom half finish is like a double edged sword. U might gain a bit of quantity and a bit of quality. But the stress it puts the plant under might cause second half to Hermie. Had it happen once to me, but I'm still not quite sure if it was because I started feeding again or the stress of chopping 3/4 of the plant. I've read people with same expierence.

Either way looks like your going to have some nice smoke real soon!

Congrats again and +rep for completing first harvest!

I was talking with the hubby about changes to the larger cabinet after this harvest.
1. Install another socket and Y fixture to double the number of CFLs.
2. Add the Mylar on the walls like the little cabinet.
3. More holes in the shelves for better airflow.

Not sure if this interests you or not. But when I did cfl 4 or 5 years ago. On eBay I found 4 socket splitters for photography. Holds 4 bulbs into 1 socket. And they don't take a ton of head room, like splitting 2 y connectors. This way I was able to mix spectrum if I wanted to aswell. I think they were under $20 each.

Hey stumped! How is the stasis experiment going? I will have to look for a few of those sockets. As long as I don't get it too hot in the cabinet, one of those sounds great.

congrats. those buds look tasty.

I always do a 2part harvest I chop the top and then put the bottom back in to finish up for a week or so

 

[JadeLotus]

Had to finish the chop today. Set up the for the autos. The girls look pretty good.

Except for this bottom branch. It looks sickly but the rest of the plant looks amazing.

 

[b.real]

they do look good, but a little overfed.

My seed order arrived just fine! Well, except for the crushed seeds. I sent a message to the seedbank so we will just have to wait and see. Pineapple Express auto was crushed.

 

[Stumped]

Going to cut the first stasis clone tomorrow. 14 days from entering fridge. Things are perky still. Surprising they lasted this long.

I'm rooting for a quick replacement. Pineapple Express Auto is on my short list.

My buds have always been loaded with crystals the stress of the first part of harvest seems to make the plant try and protect herself so is a lot more resinous and sticky so imo oppinion no it doesnt stunt it actually helps and there is still new growth when the cola comes down if you check back on my first grow theres about 6/8 plants I done it with and shows trich production

Took a glance at your completed journal. I had considered a partial harvest but hadn't heard back from anyone trying before.
Good info.

 

[JadeLotus]

Ok I just cleaned up the rooms and put all the nugs in a jar. It looks good to me! Oh and I found a root pic.

 

[b.real]

very nice! congrats.

 

[Teddy Edwards]

As a fumbling, stumbling gardener I adore a bit of good root action. You have made my evening. And a jar of nugs is the cherry on the icing on the chocolate of the cake. The bottom and the tops all in one post. Top of the shop, Ms. Lotus.

 

[JadeLotus]

The girls are looking good - It's day 46 of flower for them. They had a big defoil. Just experimenting with the defoil. I want to see more bud production this time.

I heard back from the seedbank. They will replace the seeds that were crushed when I place another order. I wish they would have sent them now. I didn't plan to order anymore anytime soon. I have plenty to play with. Then I looked at their august promotion and decided I'll order something for the free seeds. I really wanted to do the Pineapple Express before the Amsterdam vacation.
