December 28th,"Weekly Update"
Let's start with a harvest report. Both Marylou (cheese) and Maude (Bubblegum) have been chopped. They did not get perpetual darkness prior to harvest. I had to do my trimming out in the non insulated garage, temps around 0°c. Bubblegum was trimmed within a few hours and hung in the auto tent. Unfortunately the cheese sat in the cold overnight and until I finished trimming it all. This was necessary for stealthy stink free harvest while the inlaws are still visiting. So far so good!
like I mentioned before, its drying too fast in the tent, so I've taken it to jars(with boveda packsx4) already and will burp them steady for a couple weeks. So in lieu of that I will wait to get a more accurate dry weight from these two beauties.
Here's what my Christmas gift to myself was, a bunch(hours) of work! Lol it is going to be worth every minute. And on with the update...
Luke*
Skywalker Kush
Day 43
Notes ~
So far this skywalker is doing just fine, I have seen a few mini "possible calyxes" but no pistils yet. At this point I would like to see a male. Possibly pollinate my atomic bomb and Haze and Leia. Mmmmm that would be nice
Training continues to the pots edge, and now it awaits a transplant. (only if it's a female, male will stay in this pot)
Interlude
Auto-flowering Tent
Temperature : 70>60°f / Humidity : 34>28% Rh
The Widows
Day 83
Emerald
Ruby
Sapphire
Topaz
Amethyst
Notes ~
The gang of widows are all coming along better now. Each had their own specific needs so I water, making things longer and more difficult. Some visible deficiency is observed but totally manageable.
Intermission
Flowering Tent
Temperature : 70>62°f / Humidity : 36>28% Rh
Felicity
Pineapple Chunk
Day 44 +76
Notes ~
Time is nearing for this girls harvest. Her buds feel a little light and fluffy, but there are some denser ones aswell. She's will be getting chopped by weeks end. I'll start defoliation soon to minimize my trim time since I'll be doing it in the cold again.
Marge
Atomic Bomb
Day 80 +22
Notes ~
Crazy Ole Margy has some serious trichomes developing. The small sugar leaves are already coated in trichomes. My favourite part is the main cola, it's a huge amount of budsites crammed in a stalky stalk. She's also developing a pleasant aroma, not too Stinky but still weedy. The older she gets the less corkscrewish she looks. Her stem is elongating and dissipating the curves.
Haze-L
Liberty Haze
Day 54 +1
Notes ~
Haze-L is growing rapidly now, the transplant doesn't seem to have slowed her down. Healthy and green, and on her second night of 12/12 she has lots of potential. I've got several pistils emerging. Also, it's almost time to let her go vertical, but Making sure to keep the Colas level.
Leia*
Skywalker Kush
Day 52 +1
Notes ~
Leia suffered two broken growth tips during the transplant. I taped them up but they don't seem to be surviving. I'll find another one to take their place... Apart from that her training is continuing as before. Just waiting for the secondary growth to build some momentum and I'll let her go vertical too. Confirmed pistils in two locations, Leia skywalker officially. A timely tribute to Carrie Fischer...
KiG Everyone
Cheers
