That is my most coveted prize to win out of all the contests. I don't know why but I want to win that one real bad. It's super fun, creative, and just about anything can win, you don't necessarily have to have a prize winning plant. I'll get it one of these days.
Looks fantastic Amigo.Trim Jail Update
Sour Apple Autoflower
We got an entire week of drying time out of the Sour Apple before today, which is trim day for her. I was very happy it took an entire week. This plant did not quite achieve the density I'm looking for. It has everything else but that. It's not bad, but it felt a lot denser on the vine. It'll still yield well, and there are plenty of dense buds like in the pictures. Maybe 30% are not too dense, more like regular sponge density versus magic eraser density. But because of that I was especially pleased it took a week.
I won't post final yield numbers and smoke report until it's cured for a week or ten days. But I do enjoy final trimming, I must say.
Here's a couple bud shots. I tried real hard to keep the buds as intact as possible including now dried rogue hairs and calyxes that popped hairs and are hollow but haven't fallen off. You can see tons of the hairs and a couple of those hollow calyxes that look like empty seed pods. Lmao. They were not. These buds turned out a bit darker than past versions I've grown of this strain, and if the tester buds are any indicator, a good bit stronger and higher thc. No final smell yet obviously, but it stinks, and same with taste, but early tests indicate this plant picked up a bit of a minty aftertaste that I've never tasted in the strain before.
Enjoy my rookie trim job pictures.
Thanks @Bill284, and thanks for the off forum help on the coco questions. You da man. And as you know I continue to pump good vibes your way daily, for what it's worth.
See it?
Is this it.Thanks @Bill284, and thanks for the off forum help on the coco questions. You da man. And as you know I continue to pump good vibes your way daily, for what it's worth.
I keep waiting for someone to notice the bug in the bud that's not on the hexagon shaped pot holder. LMAO!! Or it's at least one complete wing of a bug. Hard to tell if the rest of the bug is attached.
Hey Krissi - you ain't missing nothing, but glad to have you, thanks!!! I've been watching your stuff a little too you know....
Sneaky Pete I'll call you...lol
65 was a great year.October 20 - A Very Special Anniversary
Grow Day 96
Flower Day 26
37 years ago today I was in Syracuse, New York, at the Carrier Dome. The Dome is Syracuse's indoor football field. It is domed like one of those tennis courts with the bubble and the double doors to let the pressure in and out, if you've ever experienced that. It's beyond huge. I was there to see a Grateful Dead show. My fourth show: 10.20.84. I was 19 years old. This show is significant for many reasons, but I consider it an anniversary for only one. This show closes the first set with the single greatest version of the song Jackstraw that the Dead ever played. I mean EVER. If any of you are Deadheads or old Deadheads like me, I would put this one up against any other version you can toss at me. I've heard them all. This version is where the entire band has revved up the bus and has decided that they are going to assault the audience with a sonic blitz like they have never heard. It displays the absolute unchallenged genius of Jerry Garcia. There does not exist a guitar player who could do on the fly, IMPROVING, what Jerry did night after night. But in this version of Jackstraw, he pretty much rewrites the book. Listen to the jam at the end. It's jaw dropping. And if you're a Dead fan, listen to how Bobby SCREAMS his way into that end jam with his last vocal. He's not even singing, he's literally screaming he's so into it. Even if you're not a Deadhead, I'll bet you dig this tune. For anyone who may be hearing compromised, either by nature, accident, or technology, I apologize for a hearing-based post. I hope you have a friend who can tell you about this.
I give you the definitive Jackstraw. I celebrate this day each year, it had so much impact on me. Enjoy. And enjoy the picture of the girls from today. I turned the flower booster off for the picture to try and get the real colors.
Looks like it will be good smoke to me! Does have some colors going on too. Nice!Suddenly....HARVESTING!!
Chunkadelic Autoflower, aka Chunky
Day 98
After close inspection of Chunky this morning, I decided to go ahead and harvest one branch. This bud was significantly more "finished" looking than all the others. It's been close to 100 days. The others will make it to 100 but for some odd reason this one bud was ahead of all the others so I took it.
There's two pictures, one is the whole bud, that's now hanging, atop my Trim Bin for size perspective, and the other is what the bud actually looks like up close. I'm told it stinks, although no way is it anywhere near the stink of the Sour Apple, which even I could smell stunk. She has some very interesting colors in her. I'm barely going to have to trim this bud, as there's basically no leaves on it to trim. I messed this plant up. It'll be good and all that, but it does not look anything like what Humboldt's pictures look like. This looks like a completely different strain. Anyway, here it is, the primary harvest of Chunky:
