2 of these are Lucy... the rest are Mercedes. :jointsmile:
Wendy & Wilma are starting to show their sex on day 8 of bud. :thumbsup:
Jane is sad, N def I think but all I have to give her is that 20-20-20 crap. Soon she'll have something better. Oprah looks good though, and has healthier looking roots. They are not root bound so we're leaving them in the small pots. Oprah is growing fast too. Veronica is kind of slow going, but looks healthy enough.
1) Wilma, 2) Wendy, 3) Jane, 4) Oprah, 5) Veronica

Droooling... :D
1 - Wilma (She'll blow your house down)
2 - Jane (I'd hit it...maybe)
3 - Oprah (She's having my baby!)
4 - Wendy (Mmmm...)
5 - Veronica (Hey, how YOU doin'?) :cool:
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Hahahahahah that fucking rocks. I love the selection of photos.
Hey fog, those pictures are awesome! Made me laugh. I thought oprah looked a little pregnant! You sneaky bastard! ;)

Thursday night we put Lucy in the closet after the light turned off. She stayed there till around 5pm today I think, 22 hours or so. Then we chopped her down, trimmed her and hung her to dry. I'll post pics tomorrow! She smells so nice. We haven't tried any yet. I'm stoked but I'll post more tomorrow! Come back then and check out the pics!
-c :jointsmile:
Nice job Canuck! Did you harvest Lucy based on the trichome color? You've done a good job with them! Mine are looking ready as hell but the trichomes say not quite yet...
I just told Shov I wish this damn Grow Log wasn't tucked in a corner like this...I keep forgetting to come see you guys.
Heh yeah I saw that post. I know not as many people come in here, but I think I'll do my next log in here anyway. I like it here. :)
As for Lucy, we said we would harvest her a little early and Mercedes a little later to see the difference harvest time makes. Turns out Mercedes is taking longer to ripen in any case. But on Thursday I saw some amber trichs on Lucy and so we went for it. Her bottom half was not ready, and we thought about doing her in halves but then scrapped that plan. The bottom is mostly popcorn nugs and the nice ones in the middle were close to ready! The heads were big and lots of them were cloudy.
Sounds perfect!! Thats the exact stage I wanna harvest mine at too - not too much amber, maybe 10-20%. I prefer the cerebral high to the amber stoned and it sounds like you do too. Nice work!
Oh yeah! It's all about the daytime weed that so I can be high all day and still do things. :jointsmile:
It wasn't even 10% amber I don't think, so we may have been a little anxious. But we were... well, we were anxious.
I took a look just now after they've been hanging a few hours and the buds shrink a lot more than I thought! It'll be a modest harvest, but we're going to smoke some bud so it's all good! :D
Here are some pics of Lucy from Thursday, before she went into the dark for a day.
And here are pics of the harvest! :jointsmile:
Look how much the buds shrunk overnight. I thought we might get a 1/2oz but now it looks closer to a 1/4oz. :)
now you have drugs! <G>
Cool. Good job, man. I went around 50/50 clear/cloudy last time, same seeds. We all were happy with the results. I have some hard bud that I will let go late on. The rest I will see when it's getting late and harvest then.
Shov
ps, that plant looked like it had lots more time in it... Sho
You think so? Maybe it did need more time. Like I said I only saw a few amber trichs. We'll let Mercedes go till they are mostly cloudy and 10-20% are amber, or around that.
Now we have drugs! :D We smoked a few popcorn nugs today. They get you high and taste pretty good for fairly fresh bud. They're drying pretty quick so I think we'll start curing in a few days time. :jointsmile:
You really think that there is only a 1/4 there??? It seems like more to me, but what do I know? I'll sit patiently and wait for the weight... I really like all the pics and the grow log...Good JOB!! Happy Tokin' and Growin' :jointsmile: Bree
LOL, I always wondered if you were Homer in stealth mode.
Looking great canuck you must be stoked! my grandma just dropped off a cedar hope chest and apparently cedar sucks buds dry pretty quick. H keeps telling me that if I dry too fast it won't taste as good even after curing and will affect the weed. But we'll have to see. Keep it up. Oh you can get fans at Canadian Tire pretty cheap and they have a selection during winter.
Hey everyone, thanks for the kind words. We are proud of our first nugs! :D The weed is great! They smell just fantastic, a little citrus-ish maybe but still a bit fruity (a bit like mango now). The taste is alright, and the smoke is harsh if you take a big :bong:. The high is nice and up, very clear. It gets better every day too. The cola is being saved for 4/20 so it'll have lots of time to cure nicely. It's in a small, airtight glass jar. It'll come in handy if Wendy & Wilma aren't ready soon enough, and even if they are! ;) :rastasmoke:
bree I don't have a scale and we've been nibbling at the pile already. Maybe I'll buy a scale today. Till then here is a pic of the buds when we'd only smoked a gram or two. The top nugs are somewhat dense. It looks like 1/2oz but because 1/2 the nugs are a bit light and airy it's probably close to 10-11g. I think we've smoked about an 1/8th. :)
doco and now you know! ;)
chrissy Hmm, I think cedar would be nice to dry in too. It's dry as a nun's twat here, somewhere around 20-30% RH. Our buds weren't fat and they dried in 2 days. The stems didn't quite snap, so they are in ziplocks and being aired frequently for now. The outside of the nugs was really dry and I wanted it to even out a bit, but now I'm letting them air out quite a bit till they're actually dry. Oh yeah and I got some fans from staples, the online store. They have a nice little honeywell one for $20, but if you go into the store and ask for one they'll laugh at you; you have to order it online.
Mercedes still looks like she has lots of time left! Her pistils are just turning brown/red and and her trichs are all clear. She is just getting fatter and fatter, but I wish we had fed her just one more week. Oh well, we had no idea how long they'd be. I have other stuff going on so I will try and take pics soon an then update this log!
-c :jointsmile:
Nice harvest, I loosely followed this grow since you started, and I would definately smoke that bud.
Good job man! The strange taste is the infamous "peppery" tast of Jack Herer. I get that same thing from mine, but the high is well worth it. Jack like 70 days of flowering best. The range is 50-70, but I am at 64 and all of a sudden the buds started growing again. (I've been helping them too) Try to wait the fulll time if you can. Smoke is so expensive, that's why I chopped one of mine down early and let the second keep growing. Lookin' forward to your next log. =)
we have the same arm hair structure
mmm i love bud! you must be a happy guy, canuck!
we harvested our plants at about the same trichome color/ration as you did, by the sounds of it! sucks how much the buds shrink when drying, huh. we only got 3 ounces off 4 plants, which was lower than expected but now we know what to expect! also, the plantz we just harvested are probably going to be the overall worst plants, as they were our first try at growing! im stoked to harvest the next ones!
Canuck please check out my pics I just got them up and no one's said anyhing yet and I can't wait to hear how I'm doing, I know you can give me some idea.
hey guys (and gals) thanks for stopping by!
MH
Yeah I hope to find out what's in this strain soon! I'm going to meet the breeder. It's an unstable strain he's working on. Coincidently, I had some Jack today. :)
lol! i didn't even realize my arm hair had structure to it. still, it's very exciting that we have similar arm hair.Quote:

I go through about an ounce a week give or take 5g. I know we harvested too early for the bottom half of the plant, but it's ok because the top was perfect and we didn't want to harvest her in 2 halves. The guy at the grow shop told me that when you think they're ready wait another week, but he also said to wait till about 50% of the trichs turned amber! I just have to try one crop of a stable strain, harvested at various times to see what I like best.Quote:

Okay it's been a while since I took any pics, and man things have changed!
Mercedes has been flowering for 9 weeks today. She is almost completely yellow and about 1/3 of her pistils are turning red. She looks and smells so nice, it's great! Still no idea how long till she's ready to be chopped.
don't worry there are more pics & posts below this one... :rastasmoke:
The 2 little girls that are flowering for my 4/20 harvest have been in bloom for 2 1/2 weeks now. They were a little heat stressed hanging so close to the light (slight paling and curling on edges and tips of leaves near the top), but they are now a little lower, and in bigger pots, and tonight they got their first bloom ferts.
Advanced Nutrients 3 part + carbo load, big bud, mother's earth tea, LK, thrive alive, phew I think that's all but probably not. Oh yeah Barricade too (silica) and I probably still forgot something! :) They got close to a full dose right away so I hope they're ok.
first pic is Wilma, next is Wendy. They are going to be so tiny. They're barely growing taller so they are going to be like popsicles! very fucking awesome popsicles! :D
Booyakasha! Hear me now bredren! :rastasmoke:
I replaced the shitty 80mm computer fan in the veg cab with a 4" muffin fan for exhaust. I can't put holes in the cab till I get a circular drill or a saw of some sort, so for now the doors stay un-latched and air goes in the front. It works well and keeps the cab between 22 C (72 F) and 28 C (82 F), but usually right close to 25 C (77 F). Till it gets warmer outside that is! I'm dreading the summer if I don't move out of this apartment.
Jane is recovering from losing her fan leaves. They yellowed, browned, curled and died. She's starting to grow again just the past couple days. Oprah has exploded. bcchronic topped her a little while back and since then she was kind of growing free. He has nowhere to take her so he gave her to me. I tied her up and put her in a bigger pot a few days back. Veronica is growing sort of slowly, but she's still really dense so I am trying to get her to stretch out just a bit. She got a little burnt when they were fed 2 days ago.
They all got the AN 3-part stuff as well, some fish fert that smells awful and works great, and LK and thrive alive. I just went straight to nearly full strength, so that's why they're a little burnt. Even Oprah is a tad I think, but it could be an old CFL burn on a couple tips.
First pic is the whole veg cab. 2nd is Oprah, the bush! Then Veronica front left and Jane back right in the 3rd photo.
The last 2 pics are of some NL seedlings I recently started. They are 8 days old today. They went in the dirt last wed, and 2 sprouted that day. the last sprouted the following day. #1 is the one in the back, and is my favourite by far! It cracked and sprouted first and has just been the coolest. Also it's a bit lighter green, has no purple at all on the stem, and is so stout it hasn't even reached past the top of the pot yet! #2 and #3 are stretchier, have some purple on them, and are just a tad behind. They are all awesome though. I need to get a log for these babies, but till then I wanted to show them to you guys. :)
That's it for this update. I hope you all enjoyed it! Check back over the next weeks for harvest pics of Mercedes!

I re-LSTd Oprah because she was unwieldy, and shittily tied. It was a ton of fun, and she looks awesome now. The only thing is I was overzealous and broke a branch. I quickly cloned it, so I hope it roots because it's small. I didn't even notice until I put her back in the cab and took pics, so there's no empty space in these photos. I think the broken one is the one in front on the last pic though, it looks bent too far.
I had to construct a make-shift dome for one clone in the veg cab, so I've get chopsticks and saran wrap on the job. I think it'll work well enough.
LSTing is so fucking fun! :jointsmile: :rastasmoke:
I've broken many branches, I'm sure she'll clone just fine.
Yeah it looks like it's already started to grow some little roots but I can't see too well from the top, nothing out the sides yet. It's dry as shit but I mist it several times a day, maybe up to a dozen times if I can.
Everything is growing just fucking awesome, and I will try and get a weekly update posted this weekend. My veg cab is getting full! :D
-c :jointsmile:
Mercedes has been flowering for 10 weeks today. Technically today is the start of the 11th week I guess. Anyway she looks close to being done, another week or so I think but I still have no real idea. I'd say 80% of her pistils are orange and her trichs are about 60% cloudy with a few amber ones.
She smells so good and so much that my room smells like fresh bud! :rastasmoke:
I think she'll yield an ounce, but I'll try to borrow a scale to weigh her with.
W&W have been flowering for just over 3 weeks and are starting to grow nice, big, resin-covered calyxes! I trimmed some retarded growth at the bottom of Wendy the other day, stuff from reverting to veg since they were cloned 2 weeks into bloom. They have more trichs than Lucy & Mercedes had at their age so I think they'll produce nice buds.
The other 3 clones of Betty are doing great this week. Jane & Veronica are growing nice white roots and will need to be transplanted soon. They just reverted to veg and are growing 5-fingered leaves again. Oprah needs to be tied down all the time and is just going crazy.
For now I'll keep posting about the NL seedlings here. The oldest 3 are just over 2 weeks old and are growing so fast! They have the fattest leaves, the fingers overlap. :rastasmoke: I think they're on their 6th set of leaves now. One of them (the biggest) is showing some yellow/brown spots on the middle leaves. I might look into feeding them something really light this week, at least the one showing the problem. I need to look up what it is in the bible here (I bought it a couple weeks ago) or on that icmag thread...
There are 3 more that are 5 days old. The 4th bean cracked and has been in the dirt for 1 day, I think I see it poking at the top of the soil so it should sprout this evening, for sure by the morrow.
So that's it for now. I have some more pics of the whole veg cab and the clone of the broken branch, but I think I'll sign off for today and go smoke a joint! More pics by next week... I'll try not to go longer than that without updates. These plants grow fucking fast! :D

Man I'd like to place my hand
upon your fuckin' sexy ass and squeeze.
And squeeze!
Take off your blouse,
And your underpants,
Then take a look,
'Cause here me and KG come naked,
Out of the side-hatch...
Damn those are some nice plants, where did you get the light from because I think I want one just like it :).
Hey orangeman, thanks for the kind words! :) I just got the light at the local grow shop. It was expensive but I don't have a vehicle and didn't want to order one online, in case I have to take it back to the shop for whatever reason. It's just a 250W HPS .... hopefully in the near future I'll be upgrading my cab and light to a 400 or 600W HPS.
Those plants look f**kin' sexy, man. You remind me of......me! :cool: Hehe. That's a good thing...I think.
So those popsicle plants are lookin' good. You might be able to pass it off for Thai Stick...LOLOL. Don't you LOVE that smell when you go into the growroom! :D:D
Man those re-vegged ones look wicked. And those NL seedlings look to be coming along NICELY as well. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to blow them out of the water with my next log. Haha J/k. I have NL in there too, so will show you what 'mine' look like. Along with the BG as well. :D
That 250w is treatin' you right, man. Good job. If I haven't given you rep yet, I'm going to now, for sure. :D I think I have, though. I would be ashamed. :o
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Looking beauty, Canuck!
My new Afghani X Bog Medley look like that at 2 weeks. I'll have to up-date that log before I go outta town next week.
Shov
Hey Canuck,
Glad to see your clones doing so well, especially since I took mine after the principal players were in flower as well. And it just warms the cockles of my heart that you named one of your plants Oprah:)
