Man, I hope yall can see the purple hairs on one of these pics.....so purrty!! Also, another full plant shot and a pretty bud shot. Are they fattening up, Harddon???
Beauties, EmT! What dry weight are you hoping for?
And how are your temps looking in the long range forecast?
Im hoping for at least half pound.....but Ill get anywhere between half and maybe a full one!!! BUT....and this is a big but, there is a frost coming in supposedly thursday, if that happens shes gettin pulled early, and that would hurt my yeild.:( So send a prayer to the pot gods for me and maybe all will be well!!!-peace-emtpockets:D
She is way far from being ready to harvest.
Do not pull her even if frost if forecast. Frost wont affect the quality of the buzz so let her live thru if if she can.
She is fattening up, but still has a way to go.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. cut bud off plant by the stalk.
2. hang to dry one day.
3. trim off all large leaves and smaller leaves on day two.
4. let hang / air dry another 3 days.
5. Place in paper bag or empty beer boxes for another 5 days, turning buds over frequently.
At this point the buds will be dry, but still contain some moisture that you can now "CURE" out of the buds.
Place in airtight jar....
Every day, open the jar lid and let it 'breath' for about 2 hours...then close the jar again.
This will draw out the deepest moisture and let it 'cure'.
When checking and determining the readiness of the bud, use the stems as a guideline, not the buds themselves. When the stem SNAPS instead of BENDING...then your weed is fully cured.
Hope that helps.
And stop smoking her.... :eek:
She simply isnt ready yet......soon...but not yet.....
But alas,,,the cycle has begun....has it not :D
Thanks for the insight harddon......btw, you want me to leave her out for the frost? Will do, you know best.

Daylight pics for you all!! LOL....I finally got some time during the day to take some pics for yall, so here gos it. They came out beautiful, the buds are so fat and look so good and tasty!! Im getting antsy, and extremely impatient.....Every time I go out to her I think to myself....."Damn, I wonder what you are going to wheigh, and taste like, and how high you are going to ge me"!! It is almost pathetic, you know? anyways, on to the pics.....whatcha think?
Btw, the last pic is of a branch that I broke a while back and just let it hang because I heard that if a branch breaks, the buds get bigger on that branch. I left it and now...BAM...big ass buds all up and down that damn branch!!!! I guess its true.(I would'nt recommend going and breaking branches on purpose,btw.)-peace-emtpockets:D
