Twnewell's First Grow

[Emilya Green]

looking very good!

Looks good newell, gonna be bulking now. This part of the grow is fun, just watchin buds swell

 

[twnewell]

Still growing over here. Not seeing any difference now day to day. Hard to notice a difference now week to week. Still feeding, going to join the “No Flush” club. Try it out anyway.

Also noticed some strange colours on some leafs and just figured it’s the end of these girls life and left it at that. Then I was checking on them today and released I’m a moron.

The temperature sensor was below the canopy and not giving me the correct temperature. So I hung it under the light and realized it was over 30 Celsius. After adjusting the light and fan all is well again.

So I’m guessing they’ll be ready by the end of next week. I’ll going to be getting my 60x magnifying thing Monday. I’ll post back with pictures if possible.

Couple of picks from watering today.

 

[Emilya Green]

awesome!

 

[Itibitiguy]

Gonna have some nice colas in there

So. Turns out that my father had this microscope from back when he had a Afro.
Ok. Probably not that long ago, but he did have a Afro many years ago.

Seeing through this is crazy difficult without a steady hand, but I did manage to see some clear, milky and amber trichomes on 2 of the 4 plants.

I tried my best to take a picture with my phone, and it sucks. I’ll drop them below in case I ever get tempted to try it again and wonder what it would look like.

My question now is when do I chop? If I was guessing I’d say there’s %5 amber, %70 milky, and %25 clear. Any help with this?

Just some shots from this evening.

Harvest day has arrived.

774 grams wet

240 grams of trimmings that will be turned into weed gummies as well as vape juice.

Only took 4 hours. Hopefully I will get better with practice.

Hung to dry in 21 degrees with no light. Just a fan going to circulate the air.

 

[Emilya Green]

21 degrees is not going to hold a lot of RH... be careful with the fan... it might dry it too quickly. Congrats on the good sized harvest!

 

[twnewell]

Do you have a recommended temperature?

I turned the fan down low.

 

[Emilya Green]

The higher the temp, the more RH the air can hold. I crank the heat in my basement in the winter when I am trying to slow dry.

 

[Emilya Green]

oh wait... 21c.... duh... I am thinking in Missouri winter temps, where we would love to see 21f. Sorry for the confusion... 21 is just fine.

 

[twnewell]

Oh. That’s great. Have to wait now is all. Sorry should have included calculus. So excited to try it.

Congrats on the harvest

 

[twnewell]

175 grams dried. My humility was lower then what I wanted and it dried faster that I would have liked. Either way it’s in jars now and curing. Also made some vg infused weed juice. Will report back on how it is soon as I try it.

Looks like a good amount to me man. You going to smoke 10 ounces in 4 months?

Definitely not. I don’t think I could if I tried. But I did try the infused vg. That stuff is good. I’m thinking next time I’ll use half the vg.
I decarboxylated 30grams of trimmings and tiny buds and added it to one cup of vg. Heated it for 30 min at 200 Fahrenheit stirring regularly. After I strained it all I got 180ish ml. I’m thinking it would have been better if I used half the vg, but whatever it’s still good.

 

[Aero808]

Nicely done man. I'm interested in making some vape juice too. I'll let you know how things work out come harvest

 

[twnewell]

Just a little smoke update. One word, Smooth. I cant believe how smooth this stuff is compared what you can buy in the store. Doesn't even make you cough. The curing is going well and the smell is amazing.
