You sound allot like me, waffle, waffle.
I have been reading and reading in the How To forums. How to harvest. What are Trichomes?. How to cure. The whole 10 yards. Looking for any reassurances I can get so I wont screw it up.
What an adventure we are on.

All about one little seed of goodness, as you say.

lol we just waffle because we want to get it right.
Loads of great info available, I just wish I could remember it all. What kind of cure are you planning?

JI just have to find some tar, or other sealant to cap the stem cuts.

Don't worry about tar. The cut ends just dry up no problemo.

...just realized I'm not subscribed to your grow! For shame. I've been by before but it was when I was doing more looking than commenting.

The most recent pics look very enticing! I'll be back later to catch up on the rest that I've missed...

Hey Buddy.

I'm going to use the card board box method that Setting Sun, Old Schoool, and Granny420 are using. Makes sense to me. Once they are over the primary dry then its mason jars for a long long time. Opening them for 15 minutes every so often to let in fresh air and them turning them in the jar so each bud gets the same amount of air. Once I get them the way I want them, then I'll just seal the jar. I had the pleasure of curing once before kind of unexpectedly and it is true, the longer the cure the better bud gets.

Hi greenblood
Glad your into commenting now.
Thanks for the comment on the pics. I always think I can do better with pics, still learning.

I'll be looking forward to your next visit.

 

[OldMedMan]

To all you fine folks. If you made a comment and I haven't replied, send me a nasty note. I don't like missing anyone. We all are in this together.

Yo buddy, almost feel human again. I cranked up the ol lighting canopy yesterday, hadn't checked her on Monday. Yikes! The buds are so fat, their falling all over each other. Trich's are pretty much 50/50 clear/cloudy, with amber trich's on the ends of the leaves. Have less than two weeks till our son arrives, and have a lot more work to do on his room before he comes home. Think I might just yank her tomorrow, or maybe Saturday since she looks ready. Believe I might barrow Flurple's idea, and make a pipe out of her stem if it's big enough.

Your ladies are looking soooo ripe!

This cold sucks.

Take care you ol fart

That sounds great. Sounds like she's ready. I would go to Saturday just to make sure, You are finally there "the harvest". Congrats my friend
She's going to pay you back for all your cuddling and pampering.
Glad the cold is better.

Mahalo OMM.

Just caught up with your whole journal and wanted to wish you congrats! The first few weeks were very "exciting" to see how the whole grow would come together, and you seem pretty dialed in now.

Have you thought about long term employment for this little pink mantis? Seems like he can just enjoy the fringe benefit of a constant 24/7 stupper. Know wonder he's not leafing...

With you to the end on this one!

Hi StinkFinger
Thanks for reading the whole journal. That took a while.
Those were some exciting first few weeks. I believe me I am so happy that they are dialed in now. I gave them what I think will be they're last shot of nutes yesterday.
Pinky is still on Joanne. He was all over her yesterday from top to bottom. He loves to eat very small bugs. He's save me a lot of trouble with them. I'm going to try to save him when I harvest and let him help on my next grow.

Glad you'll be in for the final stages. I hope I have allot to show you.
