On a new strain I can never resist the temptation to take a branch!

We will have 3 different strains to try! Then I'm guessing we will be harvesting 2 autos and 3 photos in the next 10 days. Then atleast 3 photos and 2 autos will take their place in the flower room. Might have to pack them in tight.

I think a lot about the lack of proper training the girls get when you have so many going that it'll be nice to downsize the amount of plants and have some fun. Since in about 6 weeks we will have about 2+ lbs. And a few different strains that we will be able able to slow down and make them into works of art.

I will say I'm kinda disappointed in the yield of the 3 girls that are getting close. The buds are not as big as I thought they would be and I'm guessing just over 2 ounces each. No idea what we are doing wrong when RTK gets 6 off of an auto.

Have a great day everyone! :passitleft:

Hey there Duggan. You have been missed, but its ok. Life happens to all of us. I've been somewhat absent lately also. It happens.

She's planned for harvest next weekend. It's a bit earlier than breeder timelines, but they do give a range for her. I'd agree she's a bit more challenging than some of the other CKS auto strains, picky... but she'll still give us better than 6 ounces I'll bet.

Our next one will be thinned out more, defoliated less, and we'll respond quicker if she starts showing signs of toxicity and/or light bleaching.




We're doing single plant harvests on a perpetual auto grow and have started bud washing two or three harvests ago. With three (now two dammit) pets in the house the amount of floating hair is astronomical, and despite our efforts our flowers always have a few random hairs. We don't do any foliars though.

For hair and dust, we find it works reasonably well enough to continue, and hasn't affected our buds in any appreciably negative way. Really the water acts on buds a lot like it does off a duck's back. Next to none of it is actually absorbed, but it's also only able to work on loose material on the surface. A hair that lands when flowers are forming is locked into place once the calyx on either side swells up.

Not mentioned enough in discussions about bud washing is the temp. Too warm and we risk melting waxes, too cold and we risk making unscreened bubble hash in the bottom of our buckets.

arteekay do you happen to know what the ideal temp that could be, sir ?

Ok Miller, Krip, Nis. Why when people do bud washes do they use an acid and an alkaline to clean them? Are they in seperate buckets? It makes no sense to me to use both in the same bucket. Don't they kind of cancel each other out?

I just got some hand/dish soap with baking soda and lime in it. Fusion clean or something they call it.

It reminded me of the bud wash mix so I got it. I dunno why.
I have never seen an exact temperature for the wash water. But I use not too hot that I can keep my hand in it without too much problem. If that makes any sense.

Water temperature feels different than air temps. Pools are kept in the 70s and hot water heaters are usually kept 120s or so. I would go right in the middle at 90 and consider it "Luke warm". I would think that would be a good range. 80s- 90. Won't be freezing the trichomes off the buds and you won't be melting the oils. Seems legit lol

Yes Nis, you are correct! When using Doc's method to wash your buds ....it's extremely important to NOT use water that is too warm....remember what happens to resin when it's heated up....a big friggen mess happens...always use luke warm or even a lil cooler than that , just don't make it freezing cold for fear of knocking off some gland heads while you shake them in the buckets. Cheers gang! :circle-of-love:
 
Looking at the bud pictures I posted up yesterday, to me they don't look ready. Any gamblers out there want to give their best guess in time frame? I'm saying 7-10 days easily. I just can't stop staring at them!

Oh, ya'll wanna play? Prepare for shock and awe!

The only duplicates are hiding behind the BioAg stuff. And the Hershey bottle has Hi-Brix molasses in it.

That's just what's in the cool of the house. All the dry ferts and amendments are in the garden shed.


What can I say? I like to try different things.

+eleventeen on this. I learned all about the right temp range the first time I washed.

Your fruit punch should be really close. Mine was perfect at 56 days. Does she smell sickeningly sweet, like Hawaiian fruit punch syrup?

Most of the buds smell sweet and there is one the smells like a dirty sock lol. The pineapple chunk smells amazing. Now you are counting from the time you flipped or did you wait until buds showed? If that's the case she will start being flushed and sledgehammered.
 
Good afternoon Canna and Nismo!
Take that....:passitleft:

Subbed. Really interested in Pineapple Chunk. That's on my list!

If it smokes like it smells then it should be on everyone's to grow list!

From flip.

A dirty sock? Nasty. That's an oil plant unless it smokes like the best dirty socks ever.

I'm not a fan of the peanut butter smelling ones when they pop up, though I like peanut butter.
