This plant is produced the best buds I have ever seen. They are very heavy as demonstrated in the last pics, she can't even hold up the weight, they are still this deep purple color,
Well that concludes today's harvest:) and I am just over the halfway point!
I still have four more to go, 3 THC Bomb and WW#9
Diahashi, Thanks for stopping by, Gl with your grow, just be patiant they will tell you when they are ready
Butchie, Nice grow but yes the daily attention is mostly just checking on them, it is watering days that were the chore.
To answer your questions,Yes in week 4 of flower or when the buds are producing enough leaves to support photosynthisis I remove all the lower fan leaves to expose all the lower buds to direct light then any growth from 6'' up from the soil, I also leave the top 4 sets of cola leaves as long as it is not directly over a lower cola. There has been a lot of debate on this as being benificial so you be the judge.
Hydro, Thanks for checking in my guesstimate on total weight this grow is 1.5 to over 2 Lbs. out of 9 plants, a 4'x4'x7' box, and a 600 watt HPS. I remember a ways back in basic growing forum someone asked is it possiable to get 2 Lbs. from 1-600 watt HPS. Well I think I have answered that question:)
Smok3y, thanks for the compliment.
" That's a beautiful harvest " Stinkyattic.
Wow I am going to print that and hang it on my growbox. Thank you Stinky coming from you that makes this grow even more special.
And finally Irie, thanks for the compliment and yes I hope those clubs do knock me out when smoked.
Again thanks everyone for all the kind words it just makes it even more fun to do this.
Well here are bunch of pics of Mystery#3. She is drying a lot faster than I expected. She will be ready by the weekend for curing. She has lost a lot of weight as expected but will still produce a lot of weighty buds.
First pic: is of the harvested plants hanging around in the closet.
2nd pic: is cola of mystery using the flash. The colors are off but shows the reflection from the trics nicely.
3rd pic is a close up of the plant in natural dim light.
4th & 5th pics are bud close up's in natural light.
That is a lot of bud...and it looks very dank...nice work Jerry, beautiful harvest....:thumbsup:
Here are some more pics:)
Yes I do have an early smoke report:):)
She still has a leafy taste at first but in a good sincimila way, and get this Irie the rush hits you like a club, then settles into a good energetic body high. It is still a little early to give a true taste report but she is going to be some excellent smoke.
1st pic again natural light.
2nd artificial cfl lighting shows some trics.
3rd with cfl again and flash colors way off it is not blue but reflection from the trics, I thought it was pretty cool.
4th is natral light again
5th I figured everyone was wondering about is PP8 in natural light so far she is retaining the color.
wow big buds all the way. my fav is the last pic, now thats a dank nug. Im glad you got a PHAT hit with that club but didnt get knocked out just yet, wait til the curing is done and see if it knocks you out then.
My god, you have me all antsy for my harvest date to come up. Although my buds won't look nearly as good you still got me excited.
I can't wait till we hear the smoke/taste reports on all of these.
So Jerry, I took your advice and gave most of the older girls a hair cut/trim. Took off a good percentage of fan leaves and under-growth, It has been 3-4 days since I did it and they arent showing any signs of torture. Approximately how long did it take for them to recover? Did you keep them on the same feeding schedule pre/post haircut?
Pics 1-2: pre cut (lights on)
Pics 3-5 post cut 3-4 days later (lights off)
Butchie,
You are past the streach phase so you will notice the buds start to swell and just keep getting bigger and bigger over time this is a slow process and best observerd over a week period.
You are in the easiest phase for the grower but one of the most common times the grower over loves the plant and over nutes. Give the plants a good thurough watering when the bucket gets lite approximately 4 days between judging by your plants size. Alternate between nute formulated water and plane water. And just sit back and let them do there thing. Just check on them to make sure everything is ok. And you should be good to go.
