Thanks, Rasta! This is my second grow, but first with HD cracking the whip.
Hehe the wonders of cactus juice :D .. damn I can't wait till my little LR's start flowering... they're only a few days old so we still have a few weeks till any sex parts show up, but i was sceptical about adding 2-3 drops a liter of cacus juice like you said, I mean lowryder never really gets the chance to mature so I though mabye it'd burn 'em.. Mabye I should start weak and work my way up to the right amount, or test a male with 2-3 drops and see what happens? Hope you have some insight to this.. I REALLY don't wanna fuck up.. and I'd love to have a crop half as beautiful as yours :thumbsup: That main cola ain't prettied-up or nothin' but looking past the little fan leaves.. OMG that stuff looks mouthwatering. What strain is it :confused: I love the varying colors, so trippy..
I used a test plant throughout...a runt female in the back of the grow room that I always hit really hard with things first===like three days ahead of what I fed the others. I wouldn't risk leaving a known male with your girls, though. Go super easy with the cactus juice. Since I abused the runt with testing nutes, she has tall, skinny buds that are airy and have almost no weight.
HD always said that good soil eliminated the need to use a whole lot of ferts.
WOW! Thanks for the heads up ski. That cola looks awsome. I'm gonna go ahead and say 6 oz. I'm gonna guess around 2 once dried. How long does the drying process take? Wanna walk us through that?
Hey Mono!
I just rely on what HD told me...
Cut your plant down and leave it mostly intact, although you can separate and cut apart secondaries so they aren't touching (avoids molding). Ideally, you cut right at the dirt and hang the whole thing, but my secondaries were really close together.
Hang it upside down in a dark place in the low to mid 70'sF. Light degrades THC at this point. The processing of sugar is coming to an end (I guess like Fall and the end of a tree's chlorophyl processing cycle, but this part made me sleepy and I forgot it). The slow hanging method also allows for an even drying.
I'll be hanging them for about three weeks, then doing the final trimming and separate them even more. I'll hang the kola and secondaries for another few days, until the stems are brittle and 'snap' when you bend them.
Then I'll cut the small buds off the stems and put all the buds in canning jars. I have a bunch of those jars with rubber lips and metal wires that seal them airtight. You pack them full, but not tight. The less air the better, but not crushing them.
Once a day, I'll dump them out on a paper bag and give them a toss around to make sure there's no moisture. I have a dark, cold room where they'll stay for about four more weeks.
And the wet weight of the main kola is 188 grams, or 6.7 oz...
Could I possibly pull three ounces out of each of these five girls? Holy shit! That's 15 ounces!!!!
Now, if I don't fuck up the dry and cure then I might have almost a pound of half-decent weed.
Holy shit!
well thats just awsome and yeah i was about to post where the hell you had gone.. this'll probably be my last post cuz my user name and the whole google thing is bad for me incase a loved one or someone else sees it, might make a diffrent account or might just skim the boards every so offton who knows. Gee ur feminized white widow came out pretty good huh ;). half pound, thats about enough to last me a good 4 months maybe more well good luck everyone

Ski itâ??s so good to see you update. And it looks great.
Got any picâ??s of the girls that made it.
Hiya Clever! Here's a pic of the 4 remaining girls. They probably have a couple of weeks to go...this is Flower Day 56...
As a matter of fact, I fed them a weak drink of cactus juice today, so they'll have to go at least 2 more weeks. I added a third fan yesterday, since they're creeping closer to the really hot HPS.
And, yes, I've been smiling. I was happy during the first killing...it felt like a full circle; a completion. This is overall day 102.
Sweet........I'm having trouble deciding which bud I like best.....:D
I'm so amazed that all those leaves died off......I knew you said they would fall off but I had no idea that they would FALL OFF like that.....excellent work ski.
I thought maybe your trigger finger was getting itchy.....:)
good job you.
