Here's April still looking very sad and pot bound but it should only be another week or 2 max before harvest. She has passed May on the next to harvest list.

Heres my sativa bitch June still going strong. She's still weeks away from harvest and I vow never to grow out a sativa again after i finish her off.
thanks. actually tho, my tallest at 3 weeks flowering is 24 inches on the dot right now, and adding over 2 inches a week!Quote:

lookin good man let us know how the smoke was from the first harvest. I'm currently in day 10 of flowering, so far i only have one female. Waiting for the others to show sure signs of sex. :thumbsup:
looking good!!!!!!!! might i add that it looks like you may be using a little too much nitrogen. excess nitrogen is known to cause over vigorous growth as well as prolong harvest. Other than that keep up the good growing!!!!!!!
Hey Tokr. Will do about the smoke report. Congrats on getting a girl and i'll cross my fingers for ya on the other ones..
Hey Forwhat. Thanks for stopping in. Not sure about the nitrogen thing because all my girls get is a standard bloom fert and molasses.
Since I messed up trying to dry that first bud in the microwave and not catching a very good high from it I decided to try it again. I found 2 of the very small buds that had stems that broke not bent meaning they are dry. I didnt weigh them but looking back now I wish i would have. The 2 buds gave me about 3/4 of a bowl which I got about 5 good hits from in my 12" glass bong. It tasted a bit like hay which I expected since it hasnt been cured yet but after about 3 mins from the last hit I was blazed. It was a heady high which I expected since I harvested early and amazingly the high lasted for 3 hours. Normally from 1 bowl I stay high only for like 45 mins. I'm gonna give one more smoke report after the buds have cured for a week. Its still gonna be a few more days till they are done drying.
One thing I have noticed is that the buds are not packed very tightly and are light and fluffy. I'm gonna make sure I push the other girls a few weeks longer then I did Candice.
May is still going strong but I over ferted her a bit last time and she has some burnt tips on her leaves. Other then that shes still going strong but has at least a couple weeks to go.
April is finally starting to get ripe and got her last shot of ferts last night. Shes still going strong though packing the buds on and I believe might yield more then Candice did. I filled her pot up to the top with soil to give her roots a bit more room to grow till shes done. She only has a few sun leaves left and those few look really bad.
I'm starting to think that growing out June is a bad idea. She is going to take at least another month which sucks balls. The papaya plants that I have growing are only 4 weeks into flowering and already passed june up. If shes not done by the time they are shes gonna get chopped at her current state. That being because I am planning on shutting down my grow room for a few months after the Papaya are done. Not 100% set on it yet but leaning toward it. I have plans to do a decent sized outdoor grow in the spring and if the supply i get from my grow can hold me over till then I wont need to grow.
you could just pop june entirely into a pan and make cannabutter... no sense smoking that when you got the others...
speaking about others ...
ooo wajakkaaa...oooo senseii.... :jointsmile:
keep cool. may, dont get too big!
whisky:)
I would forget about quantity and figure that it will make up in quality. Grow it out all the way. Everything else looks so fantastic...
Sho
may and april make my mouth water:D.just wish my plants were flerther along im in week 3:(
Candice's long journey from seed to my pipe/bong has finally ended. After drying for 10 days I put all the buds into mason jars to cure. I still have a bit of dope that I bought a few weeks back left to hold me over long enough for it to cure a bit. I'll just smoke it as I need it and let it cure as long as I can. I've tryed it twice since my last report and I must say its pretty damn good. I got the scale back out before I put it in the jars and came up with a dry weight of 0.80 ounces which kinda disappointed me because wet it weighed 4.43 ounces. Thats an 82% drop in weight from wet to dry. I wish now that I could have let her go for another few weeks but I didnt have a choice. I definately wont make that mistake with her sisters. I cant complain though i got over 3/4 of an O off one plant on my first attempt.
Looking gr8....nice work:thumbsup:...
That third pic. whit your cat is such a good picture...:jointsmile:
gr8 job miley.:D
Miley, May is a very sexy girl. I would kid-nap here and we would never be seen again :D. Keep up the good work bro
mad props to you on this wonderful grow!! smoke 1 for me:jointsmile:
Thanks everyone for all your kind words and for following my log. It definitely makes it worth while along with having some awesome bud to smoke.
Had a problem arise 2 days ago. One of my cfls not in a hood decided to fall into Aprils top cola. It had to have been there for at least a few hours before I discovered it. It burnt a nice section of it which pisses me off but I did some research and from what I found out she will grow more buds on top of the burnt ones. I hope thats true. I'll have some pics of it in a few days for you all.
Looks very nice. I'd smoke your weed.
Hey everyone. Sorry i didnt get any pics up last night but i'll try tonight. No promises though. Something major has come up in my personal life and I just havent been able to do it yet.
Here's May still putting on more and more buds. I noticed tonight that alot of her pistils are now amber. The time is drawing neigh. The few fan leaves she has left look like shit though. They have ugly yellow and brown spots on them. I've also noticed that her top cola is growing alot faster in certain spots. I think this might be due to me not rotating her under the lights for awhile.
Heres April a few days since the accident with the cfl. You'll notice the burns on the side of her top cola. Other then that she keeps chugging on with her end being in site.
June is finally starting to show some buds from under her thick skirt of leaves. But nothing to write home about. Her top cola is still very dinky and shes better get a boob job or something to speed this along.
The time finally arrived for April last night. She probably could have went another week but her sisters needed the room. It didnt take long to harvest her and get the buds laid out. I kept some of the leaves that were close to her buds that had trics on them. It makes good fatty rolling material and theres no sense in wasting it or making it into hash which is a pain compared to this. Aprils top cola seems to be alot fatter then Candices and I am curious as to what it will look like after drying. Total wet weight was 4.47 ounces and should dry to just under an ounce. I'll let it dry on the newspaper rotating daily for 7-10 days then into the jars to cure until I am ready for it. She was between 22-25 inches tall (i forgot to measure before chopping). Vegged for 3 weeks and flowered for 12 under 303 watts of flourscent light.
Heres my sexy May starting to look not so sexy anymore but I dont care i still love her. lol. I've decided to chop her next week once Aprils buds are done drying. I'm gonna scratch the idea I had to regen her due to the fact that shes all buds and has only a few crappy looking leaves left. No sense in wasting some buds trying it. Shes been getting straight water now for about a month and should be clear of nutes.
Here's June. Shes finally starting to look like shes getting some buds but still doesnt need a bra yet. lol. Most of her leaves are starting to yellow a bit so I am gonna cut the ferts back. Shes still got a ways to go. Is Sativa bud really worth this wait?
Here are the dried bud shots from April. It ended up weighing 0.83 ounces. It was dried for 8 days and put into the jars. I havent tried it yet but it was a really pungent smell thats shocking at first. I hope some of that dissipates during curing.
Shes due to be harvested in the next few days.
Shes still going.
Wow, this is a pretty long grow, Miley. You did well waiting this plant out. (almost 3-1/2 months of flowering!) I will be curious as to how you like the smoke. BTW, are you that cat in the avatar?
Shov
Hey Shov your right about this being a long grow and that is definately a downfall of growing with just flouro's. May's gonna be harvested soon but June will definately push on for a while longer. As well as the Papaya and the Skunk x Haze plants I've got going. The smoke from candice is great and all my friends keep asking me who I get it from so they can get it. I havent told them about my grow and dont intend too. As far as they know I get it from "some guy in town". They have smoked it with me though and loved it. And yes I am the cat in the avatar. lol. Do you know how hard it is to grow weed without thumbs? lol.
My present grow, http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/...tmas-grow.html is also all flourescent lighting. 394 watts of warm white. I expect that at eight weeks most will show some cloudy tricomes. I plan to pull one or two of the more mature plants at this point. The other six plants I plan to let go until they show aproximately 25% red and 75% cloudy. I hope it won't take but 10-12 weeks of 12/12 total.
At what point will you harvest your plants, and do you use the tricome color to determine this?
Thanks,
Sho
LOL cats 'n' weed aye used to have a cat that loved rolling in the weed. Whenever I got a delivery I had to lock him out the house till I sorted it unless I wanted an indica x cathair, he also loved the exhaust of bong hits would probably have sucked one up himself if he could have covered the carb hole.
Also had a kitten I chased all around an apartment building with an 1/8 of black hash proudly sticking out of its mouth. The wee thing thought it was a game & it was quite funny.:jointsmile:
Hey Shov. I checked out you grow again and its looking awesome. As far as harvesting goes my first 2 plants were harvested a few weeks earlier then I wanted to because of lack of space in my grow room. I have a 30x loupe but its really hard to see the difference between clear and cloudy trics so i've been going by the pistil color and by how the plants are doing. The one thing I could see with the loupe was when the thc was starting to show signs of degradation. This is when the fully form tric starts to lean over. Just before turning amber.
Hey Jack.
Cats are pretty awesome but can be a big pain in the ass as well. Depending on how many ya got. I give my cats my male plants and leaves I get off the females. They love it. Though most dont like pot smoke blown in their face a few dont mind it and get stoned with me. lol. I have one that when it was a kitten it liked to hide in my open dresser drawer. So I blew a big bong hit in the drawer and shut it with him in there for a bit. He came out ran around like crazy for like 15 mins then passed out in the corner it was hilarious.
UR buds look killer.
Hi Miley hope those buds are doing well. Bit of a delay finding it but was holding of replying till I found the pic of Woody aka Woodstock having his share of a bong hit. His favourite sleeping place was my guitar cases. The pic has survived a couple of decades odd & several moves which looks like water damage, should still be able to make out the smoke.
There is an article in the December 2007 issue of High Times about getting pets stoned, worth a look for the photo's alone.
And one stoned ass cat.Quote:

Stay tuned for that.
Hey SF thanks for stopping in.
Awesome pic of your cat Jack. Theres nothing better then sharing some dope with your favorite feline. lol.
