Relaxed's 2014 Outdoor Medical Grow

Blackberry Harvest Finale of the Different Phenotype Got a lot done today, my final Blackberry flowers of the year have been cut and harvested, it has a really smooth smell, floral, slightly piney. It's very smooth - sugary wise. Not any skunk in this one. I'm very happy with how they look and smell. Can't wait to try them. :surf: :Namaste: The pictures will be in order for the progression of the harvest, and towards the end. :peace:

Congrats my friend! :goodjob:

I love the way you trim your sweet looking buds right at harvest. Is there any special technique that you use? I did a double trim last time to try and get a connoisseurs trim, it came out pretty good, but practice makes perfect.

:high-five:
 
Lester that is one fine looking harvest. :cheertwo: When you said it was so frosty this morning, you were so right. Nicely done once again. It's been a great Skunkday:cheertwo::cheertwo:RoorRip:bong::ganjamon::bongrip::):)

Thanks buddy :passitleft: I don't think I use a special technique. I moved to using non-stick Fiskar scissors after KJC recommended them and they work so much better, I have two different sizes. The bigger one I use to cut off all the large/medium fan leaves. And then I switch to the smaller pair and I try to get as many of the small fan leaves off by cutting them at the petiole, if the buds are too plump to gain access to the clipping point then I just trim it all with one big swoop. I like to try and remove as many leaves as possible, but there's only so much one person can do in an given time lol. With the vape, it doesn't matter as much if there's extra sugar leaves in there, smoking it would make the bud more harsh though. So that's an added benefit of a vape. Usually I rip off the leaves before I put it in the grinder anyway, same with the stems :)

Mighty fine I'd have to say, that was a pretty cool Spring grow. Everything went just as planned. All Spring buds were harvested right on/after the Summer Solstice. Time to put all my energy into the other plants. I believe the force flowering KC-45s are responding and reacting to the light deprivation, in a week or two we should know for sure, but these specific specimens have never looked better. Definitely has been a great Skunkday Bee, Cheers to you and a Good Evenings Weed to Ya :thumb: :passitleft:
 
Yummy is all I can say, maybe I have smoked to much. But I always get an image of a Captn` Crunch or Lucky Charms box when I see them. That sugary, crystal goodness you want to eat right out of the box!! Great stuff and enjoy...Peace.....
 
Yah the Glades are getting over run with pet store python's and boa`s, people don't realize the commitment or just have the " I want one attitude " and then just dump them. I am north of that and closer to the springs, Blue Springs is a half hour to the west. That is a manatee hang out in the winter as the water is 74* year round and a nice snorkel run up to the boil. There are a bunch more, Juniper and Alexander have great canoe runs plus BIG gators, and Silver Glenn is a floating party of tied together boats.

We have biked to them many a time and camped, we load one persons pick-up with all the gear and they drive ahead 15 - 20 miles and wait for us to catch up. A sag wagon. They are 70 to 100 miles for Juniper and Alexander, so you get a greater appreciation for what is there. We are all restaurant oriented so we have blue crabs from out of the St. Johns river and shrimp scampi while the people around are grilling hot dogs!! To add if you want to make Bloody Mary's in the morning and forgot the V-8. Pace chucky salsa is a fine substituted!!

Also have done "The Keys" run 3 times. A good friend was the chef in Islamorada and we load the sag wagon and start at mile marker 100 in Key Largo and roll west. It was a nine hour run to marker 00 in Key West. My first time we where half way between Seven Mile Bridge and Marathon and to our south was a thunderstorm with two water spouts heading our direction. I yelled to my friend what do we do and heard just pedal faster!!

I am sure every state has its fine points but how much time and effort you apply determines the out come. I don't ever want to be a tourist...but with that comes responsibility even though you don't live there. And is what most people forget!!!...Peace.....

Howdy Brotha Josh, thank you so much. It is a lot of work to get them in and out of the garage on time everyday and not have them hermie. Needless to say, I'm not perfect and my vaporizer is in the force flower chamber so I have to make things work accordingly :) I'm always on time by about +- 5 minutes :rofl:

I am also enthralled by how the plants look today, I watered plants today and they loved it so much. It was hard to resist taking some glory shots but I'm gonna hold out a couple more days till the next update and give you people a break and time to catch up. Now that there are no plants in hard flower, the flowering eye candy is over for now. We just wait and see how the KC-45 "auto" responds and reacts to exposure to light deprivation. I am already seeing increased pistil growth. :Namaste: There are a ton of moths and butterflies out and about, so I think with the nice breeze we have I will spray some Bt just in case. Time to go and relax and watch the plants rustle in the wind. :surf:
