The Gee Spot - You Finally Found It

[Gee64]

Either that or you’re actually a bot.

Resistance is futile, you shall be assimilated....

 

[Gee64]

I don’t know much, but I have had buds like this before with the trichome/new growth conundrum. In my limited experience, sometimes those odd, sort of foxtail-looking (but not) growths will just keep growing. And growing. And popping just enough white to tell you not to harvest. Meanwhile your normal trich assessment, which has always worked fine, is all out of whack. I go by trichomes. Under LED I find they rarely lie. Just me.

And the trichs said perfect, so she's hanging and in for a reveg.

Those are very nice wet weights Gee! I wouldn't have guessed 8 colas could have done that!

Hopefully the 4 plants will come in at about 1.5 lbs.

The last plant didn't have any side branches and it was the heaviest.

That mace pheno was like giant budkabobs. They are 16-18" bud sticks with big heads on top.

 

[Gee64]

After 48 hours of sweating the 1st tub of weed has settled at 72% RH. Time to slowly lower it to 64%, then destem it and get it to 62%.

It's amazing how much crud ends up in the bud wash buckets. After 2 plants you can't see the bottom of the buckets in the wash bucket or the 1st rinse bucket.

The smells get incredibly vibrant after a wash.

We tried the 1st testers of a Shorty pheno, it's fantastic!

Nailed the harvest date, it's bang on for the way we like it.

It's going to be a frosty winter.

Day 1 of The South Africans.

Let's try this again.

Wild Lady.

RVDV.

LC-18.

Iklwa.

Here are some harvest pics. The top row is the 1st 2 plants, and every cola has been topped slightly longer than a Mason Jar. The bottom half of those 16 colas are in tubs, I couldn't fit it in the picture. The midde row is the pink pheno, and the bottom is the mace head pheno.

That gives you an idea of whats missing.

This one will get snipped here.

This one will get shortened a node to fit in the jar.

 

[Carmen Ray]

Stunning! Wow, just wow! Gee man, you da man!

 

[Lerugged]

Yeah those look smashing. Winning.
Happy for the little ones too.
Good luck with the grow.

 

[Gee64]

Thanks @Carmen Ray , Thanks @Lerugged All 4 up again, will Gee kill them? Fingers crossed he doesn't.

 

[Gee64]

@Gidorah , this might work pretty good. By the time you are harvesting, these ones should be just finishing stretch, so we can get 2 full flower shows back to back.

2 more weeks til you flip your Gals?

OK @MicroGrowerMan @Roy Growin , I found the manual setting. Things just got a lot easier. There are settings all over that I can adjust now. So I went with ISO 100, Shutter 100, and F8.0. Just to see what the F's were all about, I took the same pic over and over on all 6 available F settings.

F4.5, F5.0, F5.6, F6.3, F7.1, F8.

White balance is 3200k. Tungsten.

I see how the F's work now. I like 8.0 the best.

How are you wiring up those buds? Are those wires connected to the poles? I need to do mine.

Durban Poison - Day 68 of Flower.

The Mace Head Pheno.

You can't tell in the pic's really, but this pheno is finishing with a pink hue.

And then there is this. The duct tape bandage from when I split the plant in veg. The plant never flinched. We will have to inspect it deeper after harvest. It's getting a reveg 1st though. The pink pheno's are usually really good too, so they both get revegged to cut clones.

Maybe it should be re-named durable poison. I fell face first into my tent with durban. Broke two - that's TWO colas. Taped 'em up and as you said, they never flinched. To kill 'em you gotta chop 'em. I notice they're still churning out white pistils too. Mine did the same, but produced the best yield I've gotten from Durban. I have one seed left. She is now destined to be a mother.
I'm reading the journal backwards for now, but I doubt I'll get caught up.
I did want to say that you presented the best argument I've heard about the first day of flower & it settled it for me. I can sleep now...

Hey G, yup. Two more weeks til flip. Good to see you're off to a good start and good job on the Durbans.

 

[Gee64]

How are you wiring up those buds? Are those wires connected to the poles? I need to do mine.

Between the left front and left rear poles I run a wire front to back just below the light level. Then I do the same on the right side. Then I string wires from one wire to the other in about 6 places. Then from those 6 wires suspended just under the light, running from side to side, I hang the wires down to the colas. I actually hook the colas and then pull the wire up to the spot on one of the 6 cross wires, that best flexes it into place and supports it.

I use rubber coated wire to make the hooks that go onto the colas, and then attach the hooks to the green twist-tie wire.

I will take a good picture of what I mean when I clean the tent tomorrow.

They support the colas really well and if you accidentally hook one with an elbow it pops off instead of damaging the cola.

Gimme time, I'll get there...

Durable Poison I like that. This isn't the 1st one I've split, although never 2 at once, but duct tape fixed every one.

I had one whole half plant split and totally wilt, I mean t.o.t.a.l.l.y. wilt, like wet spaghetti, but 48 hours later it was duct taped and praying. It's a tough strain.

The taped one is getting revegged, so I can't tear the tape off yet to look.

You explained it perfectly. That's how I thought you did it but wasn't sure. Thanks.

We'll call it clumsycropping & be credited for a new method to increase yeild! I swear dp seems to thrive in adversity. (Credit to @Emilya Green for the verbiage).

Here's the last Durban I grew. This one split right after I tied her down, but I didn't know, as I left town for 5 days & when I saw it she had already closed the wound & carried on. I got 6 zips from her...

 

[Lerugged]

You really have to actively try to kill them.
