re: Triggle & the Mrs.-Perpetual CFL/Soil/Coco/Photo/Auto-Medical Madness 2014-&infin
Mega Update
I was looking over some journals on the site and realized that my journaling has been lacking! So, I have decided to get things back on track with some actual detail and grow data as well as a host of pics.
Blue Mystic Auto
As you know this plant was recently harvested but I realize I haven't posted decent harvest/dry/cure pics as promised and also wanted to summarize her journey.
1 gal. pot (half full)
ProMix 340 Soil-less
Technaflora nute line with FoxFarm boosters (OpenSesame, BeastieBloomz,ChaChing)
Mild LST
CFL Cabinet grow
Vegged with:
7x23w 6500K CFL
4x11w 6500K
4x42w 2700K
Flowered with:
16x42w 2700K
2x23w 6500K
Germed on Jan 1st
Harvest March 22
80 days Seed to Harvest
Final Yield: 10.5 grams (haha)
The LST was a necessity as this seed was germed due to my impatience. I couldn't waste it but I had barely any room so I really stifled her. That being said, she was a delight and she showed great potential. I'm really excited to throw one in a 3 gallon and let her rip. So, some eye candy
Harvest Night
Dried and in Curing stage
Analytics
I tested for potency/cannabinoids but not for mold/pesticides as I'm confident in it being mold free and she was never sprayed with anything. Those tests would be required if it was headed for a dispensary though...My research partner owns the lab so I get tests for cost!
Smoke Report
I can see why DK is such a big fan! The berry forward notes are amazing and it leaves a wonderful after-taste. The stone is real front-heavy too with an immediate sedative effect to the dome. Your face kinda goes numb for a second and you get a little heart flutter. Then she mellows out and you just ride along for a couple hours. One of my favorite tasting smokes ever! Nugs extremely dense despite common reports about CFL-grown buds being wispy.
Northern Lights Auto
Same as the Blue Mystic but she went 89 days seed to harvest. She's still drying but will likely produce a solid ounce of dried buds. Never stinky but always pretty!
Harvest night plant pics above are featured again here...and a shot of the main nug after a light trim before hanging.
Can't wait to taste her! Nugs are even more dense than the BM.
Hawaiian Snow
Despite my loathing in regards to defoliation, I have done quite a bit with the snow over the past 3 months. She has been absolutely prolific in all facets of her growth. An outdoor plant would be an absolute behemoth. She's been a joy however and entering week 11 she is nearing the end of the line....FINALLY! The Autos helped me keep my sanity during this long process and for that I am grateful. The Snow is what spurred this entire operation, though. A patient in need, a friend with genetics and a desire to return to the grow room. She's a special lady.
After staking her larger colas and a heavy thinning. And a shot in her native cabinet.
The Future
2 Nirvana freebies, 2 Trans-Siberian Autos and a Snow clone
Trans Siberian Auto- Week 2
The last remaining Snow Clone. If you pass through Eastern Oregon via I-84 anytime soon- she's looking for a new home
Planted in Coco Coir tonight
And, Thats it! Thanks for stopping by! Happy Easter and have a great week!
