Planet Express & The Attempt To Repopulate Mars

Hey @DezmondG, no worries man.
I took a look. Don’t want to beat a dead horse so to speak. Seems like you got the advise you need brother.

Thanks and again sorry for posting on your thread. You have a lot of well experienced growers here (as well as you) and I hoped they would be able to chime in. And everyone did . Did a cyclone spray and will see what happens.

Here’s a picture of some more pollen I collected. I think I’m just gonna keep collecting it until she’s done. Then then once the girls in the flower room are done, I’ll move 8 over wait 3 weeks or so and hit em with it.

 

[The Phantom]

Awesome

 

[oldsmokey]

Looks like a good amount of pollen

 

[Canadadoes]

Awesome

Yeah man, I’m quite happy with it so far!

Looks like a good amount of pollen

still so much more to collect, atleast 50x that amount. So I’m just gonna keep going with it for now. Create a little stock pile.

So, it’s about that time where we start focussing more on trichome shots, we are getting closer and closer to harvest. Here’s some shots I took last night.

White Widow:

Tropicanna Banana:

Sapphire OG:

Still some more time to go,

Some of the sugar leaves have got a lot of amber, but they’re not quite ready yet.

Man . There is enough amber for me

 

[DezmondG]

Love the closeup shots . Looking great.

Lol, yeah it’s getting close but not quite there yet. The wife likes a more couch lock.

Love the closeup shots . Looking great.

Thanks Dezi, If you don’t have a microscope yet, I’d suggest grabbing one. They’re not expensive and they help out tremendously.

Hey @Canadadoes , wondering what your plan is for harvest? How you plan to cut, dry, trim wet or dry, etc? I’m right around the same timeframe as you and your grow is doing amazing, so I want to watch and learn from you as f that’s ok.

 

[Canadadoes]

Hey @DezmondG,
Typically I’d cut the fan leafs off while it’s still potted, then branch it out for drying, then trim and jar.
although this time I’m thinking I may trim fans, hang whole, use a moisture meter to keep checking the MC, once were at the right % trim and jar. Possibly do a bud wash also before hanging. (Still undecided on the wash). Hope that helps brother.

Ya I was thinking about the same. Scared about trying the wash. Still might try it though. Let them drip dry for a couple hours with a fan on them and then hang back in the tent to dry for a week or so then into jars for curing. Super excited right now. Was just checking them out and a few buds are sooo heavy, they are falling over. Right now I have the supported up against the wall so they are ok. Weird as well is 3 of the same pants buds all feel about the same density and one, the buds are hard. I think I do have 2 strains. Was supposed to be all the same but the one has always been different throughout this grow. That’s ok, variety is the spice of life

Thanks for the advice and help

@DezmondG What exactly is it that scares you about the wash? Trichomes aren’t water soluble so no worry about losing em. Washing can’t be any worse than a plant getting rained on outside is the way I see it. My concern was not having a big enough bucket to wash the whole plant. You could have the same plant strains just different pheno’s. If they came from a reputable seedbank.

Congrats on the nug of the month win! Well deserved!

 

[Canadadoes]

Thanks @DutchinAB, much appreciated my friend.

On another note the CS Sapphire is in full male bloom now. I just plucked a whack of sacs that were open. Taking a break and I’ll go back in and pluck all the cracked but not open ones next.

Just weird I guess. More worried I don’t dry them properly and get mold or something. My father in law always said to me “If it wasn’t for bad luck, I would have no luck at all”. I’m gonna grow a couple and try the wash. Why not right? I have a bunch of 20litre totes so I will be able to do a 4 bucket wash. 1 H2O2, 1 lemon juice and backing soda? And 2 rinses.

Yeah basically! I’ll most likely be doing a wash with mine. I may branch it out instead of doing the whole plant. For ease of washing.
