Was bored today and thought eff it, lets do tha damn thang!!!!
Today was their 52nd day flowering. From veg day 1 to day of harvest was 69 days total......Sweet.....:greenthumb:
I had been flushing them for the last ten days. Was going to wait until the 56th day but, oh well....
I untied them all just before I cut them down so you all can see how heavy the are....just leaning over like crazy.....
Pic 1 is where they are going to hang dry. Very easy box to construct made form 1/2" OSB board.....was left over from when building the veg and flwr cabs so made good use of it....
I weighed them just as you see them in the pics, after trimming..... Wet Weight came in at 1,170grams.... I can get a good idea of what my dry weight will be by dividing the wet weight by 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2. 1/4 being the worst case scenario and 1/2 being best....
At 1/4, it would come out to 292.5g = 10.4oz
At 1/3, it woud come out to 390g = 13.9oz
At 1/2, it would come out to 585g = 20.8oz
Realistically though, I think I will end up somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 the wet weight... The buds are dense and thick, so we shall see....

Forgot to mention..... Been toking on that sample I took a few days ago and man, you know that bud you toke and toke and toke and it just seems that the bowl just won't finish???? Yeah, this is that kind of bud..... It's sticky and dense as heck.... Smokes a LOT and smokes for days.... The sample had a nice fruity flavor mixed with a little harshness. I know the harshness is from not being flushed so I cannot wait for the ones I just hacked to cure......

:thumbsup: They look really great, you've done well with them and they did well for you. There'll be a fair few bowls of bud out of those girls :)
I see the next round of plants waiting there :cool:
That drying box you have there looks handy. Finding a suitable spot for drying was a nuisence for us last time as I still needed them somewhere close to to the filter (for the smell) but not so much that they dry out too quick. Do you bother with a fan in there with the tops? I was just curious about ventilation
Thanks rattlingdags!!:thumbsup:
I drilled 12 - 1/2" holes on two sides of the box, on the sides where the string is tied. I also have a small 6" clip fan blowing air air away from the box to keep air flowing. The box is right next to my ozone generator but i can still make out the smell, dank!!! Really glad I planted those herbs, flowers and bushes outside my grow space. The plants on the outside leave people to smell the scents of the outside plants that mask the smell of my indoor garden, sweet smelling indoor garden......:thumbsup:
Really happy with the results......

And yes the bigger plants that were leaning more than the others were able to get better light coverage to the lower buds making them even heavier:thumbsup:

They finished drying the other day. After cutting the buds off of the main stem, I weighed them. The heaviest cola weighed in at 19.7g. The heaviest plant weighed in at 48.3g. Total weight came out to 352g, 12.5oz. Not bad for 10 plants in a 2' x 2'-8" space and 69 total days growing. Now I know that I can get roughly 1oz +/- per plant vegging for 17 days and flowering for 52, with my current setup and method.....
On to the next grow....
Happy Growing!!!!

Smoke report to come soon....
:jointsmile:
This has been a fun log to follow are you going to do another with your new kids? Anything your planning on doing differently?
Yeah, I had fun with it as well.... The single biggest difference that I'm going to be making is the bamboo sticks. Instead of using the netting, I'll just tie them to each stick. They should be enough support and allow me to move plants around easier. The ones I currently have in my flwr cab are not going to yield as much as the ones I just harvested. I can tell just by the size and time of flowering they are in. But they also only vegged for 7 days as opposed to 17..... At this rate I can harvest two more times and not have to grow for the next year or so..... I'm also going to let them flower for 60 days as opposed to 52. I didn't harvest two nice size little flowers on two plants and they turned really purple. So think I'll do that....Quote:

Smoke Report....
Really smoothe smoke.... I think I've gotten used to this strain cause I can't taste it anymore. Been toking on this strain for a bit.... At first it had a really fruity taste which I'm sure it still has. Smoked a bowl last night in my room out of my ice bong (i like using crushed ice vs cubed) then had to go to the back yard and put a couple things away. 15 min later when I came back into my room, it had that sweet purple bud smell to it.... Liking it....

Funny thing happened the other night. I usually share a bowl with my wife before we, you know, and I decided to roll one up instead. She usually has no prob finishing a bowl with me but the other night when she blazed half the j with me, she got waaaaaay higher than she is used to. All she could do was lie down and laugh. She couldn't control her laugh, she thought everything was hilarious. Then it went from laughter and smiles to heavy heartbeat and "am I going to die" feelings, poor girl.....smoked too much.... I start to get the same feelings if I use too much during the day which is why I now only pack enough to hit once or twice at a time. I guess it will last longer but I now think that I'm going to get a sativa strain to go with this indica cause this chiz is strong....

wow man that sounds great i can only hope mine will be half as decent.Quote:

Oh the poor girl I can really sympathise, it sounds something like my first experience with edibles lol. The turn from giggles to suddenly fast heartbeat and then a wierd sensation of having all my insides being sucked down towards my feet. It got wierder still over time which I guess is one of the main differences between eating this stuff and smoking - you can stop smoking and regulate it to some extent but if you've eaten something there's not too much (besides vomiting it straight away) you can do to get off the rollercoaster.
Like you I was wondering if I should try growing a sativa or 2. A friend has some of Greenhouse's Amnesia Haze.. Have you got any thoughts on what sativa you might try?
nice grow.......gro lol the purple on the leaves really makes her a pretty girl.
you got some cuttings of her right???????????? it looks like a solid strain
With so many strains out there, I think the question is which one am I going to start with;).... Think I'll start with like a blueberry or strawberry strain, something thats supposed to have flavor.....Quote:
