Radogast 2 - Return of the Clones

When I fought off the mites, I was spraying daily switching between homed rosemary oil, neem oil, and cilantro/habanero, for a bout a week and a half. A couple of the plants didn't dig the crazy rain, but the majority of them loved it. Stay strong Rad, you gotta drop the hammer on those little bastard. Any foothold at all and they are going to stick around. They are dicks.

Nice little baby :)
 
Did You say 434 days?
 
A few months? More like a year and a few months. I just had to make sure that wasn't a typo.:nomo:

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY !!

Exactly one year from thread start to harvest. Trials and tribulations along the way, but 6 of the C1 clones from a year ago are still alive - 5 in the flower room (tiny) and one in the garden room, vegging OK . C2 Clones of the clones are doing better than their C1 mothers and worse than grandmothers. I have one large C2 clone in late veg and 3 small c2 clonesin early veg.

The C1 clone girls will 5 out of 6 with a wimpy yield in 15 months. The sixth C1 clone will have a moderate yield at 18 months.

The harvest today felt great after all these months :)

I love the fact that you were too stoned to post the pictures. Way to go Rad. Great timing. :bravo:
 
Congrats, that top cola is a monster.

the bud looks amazine but why does it look odd.... Are the calyx just super swollen or do you have round leaves?

I don't know enough about botany to know if these are swollen calyx, ovum, or what. Part of the flower is enlarged, creating a lot of bulk and some extra weight. I believe they spring from a couple of stress events from a couple of weeks ago, rather than genetics, because the plant next to her, next in maturity showed similar 'reveg' activity.

I also have small curved leaves on her :)


She looks odd, but the first 10 grams I oven dried smoked very smooth - even the small, trichome heavy, little fan leaves.
 
RADOGAST!!!

Congrats man! It's been a long time coming, brother.

Your fortitude is insane! Harvest +Reps and then once I find someone else to spread some love I'm coming right back here to give you +Reps for sticktoitivness!

Congrats on your first harvest in a great while and get ready for more to come :high-five:
 
Congratulations Rad!

You Harvested on my girl's birthday! :)

Congrats on the harvest.

I was curious on the temps for an oven dry. I am assuming this is a quick dry method. Sounds like a good idea for popcorn and such...

Please indulge me :)

Thanks

That's pretty much my ideal piece, great shape, color, small volume stem. Built in upper and lower percs with ice holders and that lovely extra perc/ash catcher to make it that much more of a challenge to clear :) Easy to watch your own smoke and yet fun for others to watch you smoke and bubble. I can almost imagine the sound. :Love:

Love the name Tim BurtBong :circle-of-love: We used to have an oogie boogie until the name changed !

I have an extra perc/ash catcher like that. When mounted on Manhattan she goes by the name of Chrysler :)


Looks like a very fine choice to me. :Love:

Did you have to drain the main chamber to inhale? or, Did you just lung the deep water up into the upper perc?


I celebrated today by buying a bowl on the way home from work :)

What I did was about 90 minutes at 210F - low enough temperature NOT to decarboxylate. If making brownies from them, I would have gone 260F :)

Popcorn is obviously faster to quick dry than larger nugs. They stay green and are done when they feel dry. Dried this way it was easier to crumble the flowers and leaves in my hand than have the sticky, mostly dry trichomes clog up the grinder.

Helping trimmers giggle and get creative while trimming is a big part of harvest fun :)

Cool...new bowl to bring in the new harvest! :slide:
This the first new bong for her in 5 years, the technology is wild. She calls the upper bubbler the Octo-Chamber lol, and the ash catcher is The Shower Head because of the shape and the slits. There are no slits in my memory. These glass blowers are very creative in a practical way - the art pieces seem to be losing ground. But this is a college town so maybe its just the store we went to. Art and practical have met in the middle now - very cool these days.

I think she fills each chamber separately. When she first got it she tried blowing it down which blew water up through the bowl...lol
 
A couple more pictures from Hawaiian Skunk 'Hani' - harvest day


Before the trimming started. She was about 3.5' tall. Untrained.

Her thicker roots never expanded past her original 1-gal pot size. Living the SWICK life, she never bothered making larger roots. (I cut the roots to pull them out - so no idea how many roots reached the edge of the 10 gal pot.

The first little bud going into the drying hamper. He liked wearing and snapping the blue gloves :)
