YUMMY NUGS DUDE!!!:thumbsup:
Rock.
if by taproot you mean great huge thick roots spread throughout the medium then yes,though still a fair load of the small fibrous roots too,i use a smoooth gravel for an aquarium rather than coarse or sharp,helps water get to the roots and helps drainage
No manicuring yet? Anyways those buds are so coated in crystals. I want a bud man I swear lol.
I've trimmed all I think I'm going to trim off of it..I had a friend come by to help me get that out of the way..what's left on there that's dead or doesn't have trichs will probably be removed when I smoke it...can't make the buds look too pretty because of those nasty dead leaves..
I cut this off to weigh it...it was about 27-28 grams wet...I'm expecting each of these to weigh a good quarter I hope...these are from the plant that had six tops..nearly all identical only some are a bit fatter..near the tops I can see 15-20% amber on most of them which makes me happy..
once it's dry I'll have total weight for sure...got 12 (1) quart jars today...thanks for the comments everyone...
for the record this is my third grow, other two never made it much into flowering though for various reason..
I'll probably give that a try next time if I'm not doing hydro..Quote:

Beautiful, beautiful. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
god those are good looking even the second time around. :clap::clap:
Great log, Markass! It's been interesting following this grow, man. The end result sure looks to be top shelf.
Please continue with the curing and the smoke report! Thanks.

thanks, yourself and a couple others have given me advice that has put me here...the lack of odor really worries me and discourages me...I was wanting something uber stinky...but no biggie, it seems to smoke okay from what I've tried...can't wait for a fatass bud to be dry so I can pop a pinch of it off and throw it into the bong bowl...you'll be in the same position as me soon..your buds come down here any day now right?
hot dammmmm. your crop looks fucken great.
So Mark did they smell really strongly until you picked them? That's what mine usually do...then smell like mown grass until they are fairly dry....then the nice smell comes back. The only one i've had that kept the same smell the whole time was the Master Kush....the one I just picked is the same as usual ....no real smell yet so i wouldn't be worried about that especially since you have TONS of lovely trichs glopping all over those buds.!!
Looks like third time lcuky then :thumbsup: Really nice buds some of those cola's look like Popeyes forearms. :jointsmile:Quote:

Yup, the smell gets better with curing in the jars. I don't know what blueberry smells like though. I'm sure the potency will be right there.
I did pick a couple of buds early and I'm watching the trics every day.

dehumidifier is getting after the drying bit...the piece I weighed that was an ounce yesterday is 11 grams this morning..I think it will only take a couple days to get these puppies dry..95-99 degrees fahrenheit @ 35% humidity is drying them out quick

Does it really matter if they are in glass or plastic? I have a big Folgers container with that aroma seal top and I plan on keepin' my buds in there lol. I heard some where that plastic changes the taste a bit..I never noticed it.Quote:

Damn, I keep all my bud I have right now in a pill bottle. I guess I'll just use glass jars for my harvest.
I keep small amounts in pill bottles orangeman. Large amounts I keep in glass jars but I've heard you can vaccum seal them etc etc....that's plastic....tossing in a pointless comment here.....now I'm leaving.....bye. :D
yo how about some close ups of your buds :stoned:Quote:

no way to know until I cure it and break into those colas...I know that some of the smaller ones have visible premie seeds, there is I know, just don't know how much. all that heat in your space o/m, you can expect hermies.Quote:

I got 187 grams, which is 6.6 ounces.
if they lose much anything else I'd be surprised I think...I'll probably weigh again before I put to cure...But it dried QUICK in a 25-35% humidity closet @ 99 degrees..it's in paper grocery bags now to kinda finish up the drying process
Lovely, lovely. That's a pretty damn good haul there Mark...have you tried any of the biggest buds yet?
nope, I've got a little popcorn piece I'm about to burn up, the biggest piece yet..I'll leave the big ones for being cured, then it'll be more interesting for me :)Quote:

Mark, sorry, I am just leaving....have a drs appt blah, can you e-mail me my man? I can get back to you this afternoon. I will take some close up photos of my buds for you but I can promise you won't see much....I'll try to adjust the image on my pc to magnify and see if it helps.....
congrats on your grow Mark.....good job I'll look for your e-mail. :)
hold off on the 6.6 ounces, I'm going to cut off the excess stems and shit..
after a final clean up of stems and shit and manicuring I'm down to 6 ounces. I wouldn't have probably even half of it had I not used a cool tube and been able to keep the light so close..I'm satisfied, but will be even more satisfied once it's cured.
Looks like great smoke , and a nice yeild bro. Will be waiting for your smoke report.
Well I think one is developing but so far I've been able to keep temps good. I keep fan running all the time now and the temps are usually 80-86. That really isn't all that high I don't think. I just hear temps 90+ are bad. I try to stay away from that, I also help temp stay down by just not having the dehumidifier running all the time but at the same time now my humidity is 50-54. But I guess that's alright too :-/.Quote:

good crop, Markass! Two ounces per plant.

yeah, not bad for a little 250 I guess...I couldn't have seen it being much better :stoned: it's in jars now and I'll be on mold patrol hardcore...:thumbsup:
question about curing...my buds still had some moisture, I read that this is normal about 15% moisture, however would it hurt for the first days or so opening the jars for an hour or so a couple times a day even just for a while until I feel safer?
