PeeJay's Perpetual Organic Homebrewed Soil - Stealth Cabinet And Greenhouse Grow

Eight weeks today since Helen showed pistils. Supposed to be an eight week strain and it's not far off - a couple of days to go. It's hard to get a good tric pic with lens and loop, but here is an effort.

I think it looks great. Can tell clearly the color of those trichs. :thumb:
Do you have a magnification feature on your photo software? I have PSP and can magnify quite well and then save the magnified picture.
Good to hear from ya. Have a great night!:)
 
check the trichs on the buds itself also
leaves are usually ahead of the buds when I check
 
:ciao: PeeJay! Waiting out a snowstorm this morning, so I wanted to catch up to people. Hope things are going well.
How are the trich colors looking, or are you all done chopping buds?
Have a great day!!:reading420magazine:

Helen has been chopped in two stages. I took the ripest tops a week ago last Tuesday and ended up with 24 grams of nice buds. It's not very far into the cure yet and smokes a little harsh still - but it is some solid smoke that gets me pleasantly baked. The rest of Helen went another six days and was harvested Monday morning. The humidity is low and it dried pretty quickly. I cut the buds off the stems, weighed and jarred another 37 grams of nice bud this morning. So, for Helen I got 61g of nice bud and I was pretty liberal with what I threw into the "butter bag." Considering that I took four big colas off Helen three weeks ago so the White Panther, Roxy, would fit in the cabinet with her - I'm pretty happy with the yield. I expect I would have had another 15g or so from those tops - so around 75g total. Achk! It's hard to say what she really put out with the multiple harvesting stages. lol.

I'm guessing Roxy has another week or so to go. I must leave for six days tomorrow and won't be back until the 27th in the AM. I'm going to soak the heck out of Roxy in the AM before I leave and harvest her when I get back. I'm guessing I should pull around an ounce or so from her.

I murdered Blunder and Grace. Maude has been in the flower cabinet with Roxy for two days now. I'm just going to grow her out by herself in the cabinet in a seven gallon pot.

No time to get any pictures tonight, but, hopefully I'll have some down-time between X-Mass and New Years to get some pics!
 
You've been a pretty busy beaver PJ. Congrats on the completion of Helen. I'll be eagerly awaiting those pics...
 
Congrats on the harvest my friend! I will be starting flush this week and everything seems to be going fine. I'm excited. Sounds like yuou are content with what you reaped. That's a very good thing.:high-five:
You have a great Holiday and stay safe. Look forward to your return!:green_heart:
 
Thanks, BAR and Canna! I've been crazy busy, BAR. On top of that, I've also become somewhat bored with "watching the grass grow." It no longer has the luster it did a couple of months ago. It feels nice to be settled in and know more about what I can do in the cabinets. That 18" x 24" space is not so big but the light coverage and ventilation is great. From now on I'm just going to grow one big plant at a time in the cabinet. One in the veg box and one in the flower cabinet at a time.

The greenhouse antics were fun, but in the long run it's more work than I want to do. A couple of ounces every 60-80 days is more than I need anyway!

I've caught up on your journal, Canna. Nice to see you're adding more lighting. Remember, you can always chop one early and still have some of your own to smoke in about a week ;). Some might suggest that harvesting one early would be a waste. On the other hand, it is part of the learning experience to pull some early so you can see first-hand how the high changes as the plant matures. This is, after all, your learning run - I vote you yank one and start drying it so you can smoke a little cheer with your X-Mass morning coffee.:thumb:

That only makes sense PJ.
 
I'm with you Peejay,
I have enough plants. No reason not to do that and one of them appears a lot readier...than the rest. LOL
I did sneak a couple of popcorn buds a week or so ago. SHhhhhhh....
I like your new grow plan. Do what makes you feel comfortable, that's what it's about. :high-five:
TTYL!
 
I'll tell ya, Canna, the Mama Mia I harvested three WEEKS early is (was) pretty decent. When the second stage was dry I threw about 3/4oz of those remaining buds into the "butter bag" - but both myself and others who have smoked some were pretty happy with the results. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Go cut one of those plants down and enjoy trimming, drying and curing. Then you can move one from veg into flower. :)
 
Hola Chronic. Hey, it seemed sort of lame to post all that text without even one pic - so here is a quick shot of some buds that got jarred up today. Nice smoke.

Hey PeeJay,
one question before you pop out. Are you going to keep using the Scrog screens in the box and cabinets?

I'm sure I'll use screens again, but not for the next run. I like the way the White Panther has turned out without much in the way of training and there is plenty of height in the box. All I've done to Maude is top her once and spread her out a little.
