Orangeman's 1st log!

Orangeman, on the subject of the buds that you said have just as many mature trichomes on them, but the pistils are mostly white, and the buds aren't together...

Well, anyway, as the bud grows, it will grow many many more trichomes, that have the chance to start over. So, even if your initial trichomes are amber, but the buds aren't finished, that really doesn't matter, because like I said, as the buds fill out, it will just frost with trichomes.

Peace,
horror business

BTW, in november, for your next grow, you said this: "This time I will know the genetics of my plants and I already know they're all females."

That confused me, as I don't know how. Are you planning on cloning your plants now, and vegging them until November? Or are you purchasing female seeds? Or did you get a hermi flower that pollinated some buds?

Either way, I'll be looking forward to checking it out in November. Hopefully by that time, I'll have a completed grow diary as well.

But then again, if I'm correct, you want the purist sativa high possible, so you want to be harvesting fairly soon. I would suggest taking another sample bud, one that is completely mature, and test the potency, then decide if it's time to chop or not.

I don't want to cut the mature buds down yet because well if they are already doing excellent then I don't want to stop that lol. Even the little bit of trichomes it may thrown on in these last few days will help. As far as the bud maturity/yield goes I'm with you. I know I should let them fill out and mature but I love a certain high so the minute I see amber trichs, trust me I won't want to if they aren't finish but I'm gonna have to cut just to be safe. I just went down there and man I love looking at that plant. It's so freggin frosty. I had to post a pic of my favorite bud. I'm gonna save that one for last. Probably will be the last bud I ever smoke of my harvest.

Gonna let it cure but never touch it. God it looks so much more better in person lol. And it's obvious that one of those plants is going to have to live longer because even if the buds are mature those trichomes are barely visible and mostly all clear. I'm happy though because at least it finished filling in before the crystals started popping out so I'll be happy with both yield and high with it. As far as my next grow goes....well you'll see, just be sure not to forget about me lol. I swear I tried to flush them so much and I can't seem to get them to run off just clear water. It's always a little yellow so fuck it. I'm not even gonna try to flush anymore because I'm so fuckin frustrated. Last time like I said I spent from 12 am all the way up to 5 am trying to flush those things and STILL up to the last minute I never got just clear run off so what ever. If they taste a little like chemicals fuck it. Also next time I think I'm gonna get some Super Thrive to help the roots grow faster..every little bit helps :p. I don't think too many trichs will turn amber soon so if all goes well they both will go into the next week (10). I won't cut if I don't have to. I was aiming for a specific time but now that I'm here I rather get the best out of what I have rather than trying to harvest on a specific set date because I'm waaaay behind schedule lol.

A lot of the major growth happens in the last few weeks. I don't know exactly how much longer, but we need to hear from one of our Vets. I have heard around that you are looking for a descent amount of pistil browning. . .but again that is border line mature

Yeah I'm watching both hairs and trichomes but which ever starts to mature first will determine what I do like I said. I don't want to cut too soon but I'm after a certain thing, but if the calyxes are half way reddish before that time happens then hey good for them then the flowers 'il be mature when they receive the chop lol.

Hey, O-man. Lookin' good. I bet you're READY to cut them girls down now, eh? Oh, if you didn't notice, there was a thread started in the lounge about you and why you don't go visit up there anymore. lol Thought I'd let ya know. :cool:

Oh, I didn't know that lol. I dunno I do go in the lounge but just occasionally. Also you're right. I am ready to cut. It's like fuckin' crack cocaine xD. I'm sittin here just so anxious and cringing and like C'MON! I want to cut, then I don't then I do. I almost took the scissors and did it last night. These last few days are going by so slow. Words of advice for regular smokers, don't flower your plants without a constant supply of bud already available to smoke or you might go crazy.

True that. You just need to find a Vaporizer and then do some judging!

Can I use a glass tube as a form of vaporizor? Like I have a test tube. If I put weed at the bottom and put a lighter to it can I inhale that?

Quick question. When I harvest my plants would it be consider quick drying if I intentionally let them sit in the room with the dehumidifier making the room about 20-35%. Basically making the room very dry because I just let that sample bud sit in the room for just this day and it made the bud dry to the touch and the stems snap easily. I was happy with the quick results. Is there any negative effects not allowing them to dry naturally or what? Thing is this bud dried and the humidity was only about 50-55% so what should I do?

hey og that is 1 nice lookin bud you have there. really it is.

nice plant dude!:thumbsup:

good luck on a happy harvest:D

Rock.

nice job! i wanna pix when u harvest!

Well harvest is going to be Monday for ONE plant. The other one throws on new trichomes every day so I'm gonna let it go 2-3 more weeks. As far as the one I'm harvesting Monday I'll try to get some shots of the plant outside of the room without the freggin HPS making everything seem brighter lol. But um I took it outside the grow room yesterday so I could sit down in a chair and calmly look through the microscope and look at the trichomes. Spent about an hour down there looking at all visible buds. Most of those trichomes are milky. I remember reading some where that some people had a hard time telling the difference between clear and milky trichomes well..if it's hard to tell then more than likely it's not milky yet lol cuz now I know why they use milky for the description. Those heads were filled in with just all white.

Looked so pretty. The only way I can describe the smell of the plant is the mornings at McDonalds. Seriously..It reminds me just of what McDonalds restaurants smell like when they're cookin' breakfast..weird eh? :p Barely any clear trichomes and when I took the plant out of the room I actually could see the real color of the hairs. Half of the hairs are red and the ones that appear white are really like light red/brown. So it's really ready now but I'm gonna let it go until Monday just watered it yesterday, not giving anymore in its life and then chop it on that night :). As far as the other plant goes it'll be lonely but at least it'll have that light all to it self haha. Btw I have a question, should I give it some nutes one more time or what? The one I'm letting live because it's not even no where near filling in trichomes, all of those crystals are still clear but the buds look like they're about done forming. What should I do?

Oh btw happy 10,000th post to me lol!:bong::smokebong:

Happy 10 thousandths OM!
You posting freak you. :p

roflcopter! :thumbsup:

Oh I forgot to tell how that sample bud was from the Sativa. Well it has a long way to go. I tried it and it only gave me a weak buzz and a mellow feeling. But it wasn't super fuckin potent so I'm sure it isn't ready.

Congrats man! And the log is looking great.

look at the big bong hit smilie up there^ ever notice he's not hitting it right wtf...haha just noticed that. What the fuck is he lighting?

Lol thx. Btw I made a light bulb vaporizer and I cut another sample and I grinded it and omfg that bud looked so fluffy and it didn't look like I was gonna get much, it's amazing how much broke down when I grinded. And shit I'm fuuuuucked. Monday is gonna be a gooood day. And the other plant has new trichomes every time I go down there lol so happy. That ones def. gonna be ready in another 3 weeks. Life is good right now :).

Glad to hear you got a good smoke! post harvest pix monday. :stoned:

I meant to wish you a happy 10k posts as well! Congrats!

:clap: :clap:

Sounds like you're gonna have some bomb weed, man! :thumbsup:

Yeah I noticed that too lol.

Well I said long before I harvest I'll post pics up with the plants out of the room so I finally got around to it. Actually I think I might let it go a little bit longer than Monday. I dunno most of the trichomes are just how I want but I want to wait for the flowers to mature more also like..more red hairs or w/e.

And one last pic..

yes I know the foliage is still very green but trust me, I've tried to flush already. I gave it like 6 gallons of water and it's only a 3 gallon pot, plus I just watered it yesterday. No food has been given to them since the 24th of June.

Is today the day for one of the plants to get harvested?

dammmmmmmmm they look great. OrangeMan:jointsmile:

Nope lol. Every time I think it's ready I extend the date. I think I'm just gonna wait and then just post when it's really ready instead of making an estimate. Even though I want my heady high honestly at the same time I want to get the biggest yield I can get from it. If I had more than a 250 watt I'm sure they'd probably would have been ready but..I have to deal with what I have. Maybe if the prolonged growth gives me effects such as numbness, stupidness and inability to move (lol) it'll be good after all.

lol, I'm excited for you. I can't wait to see those harvest pics.

As a request, could you remove all of the leaves first, and then take pictures of the plants in their pots with just their buds? I enjoy seeing plants at that "stage", such as in the Greenhouse Seed Company videos when they start harvesting.

Lol the harvesting point is funny. It just gets all silent and all you hear is the plucking of the leaves haha. And yeah I'll do that for ya :).

Orangeman, TRUST your trichomes ... ignore the browning of the stigmas, means nothing at this point ... :smokin:

Alright Image Reaper. Also I'm waiting for the buds because I want to let them get bigger, try to increase my yield.

Chop 'em yet? ;)

Nah not yet, I think I might just do it next week lol. God it sucks ass to wait but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. One reason why I wanted to wait is because last night I noticed new trichomes growing in so I think maybe I week longer will bring even more trichomes in.

lol, I love those videos. They are a huge inspiration for me. I would love to do that for a living as they do. I plan on taking college courses for botany, so I can live in a place where marijuana is legal and make a living by working with plants. It's awesome how serious they are about it in the videos. I hope they come out with more of those.

Yeah, I'm serious like that too lol. It's like I was watching the video with no smile on my face just taking notes lol. I'm trying to move there when I get older too because I want to grow marijuana as a profession and I want to make my living with a coffee shop or something. People grow corn, tomatoes and they enjoy what they do. How come I can't enjoy my plant too? Fuck them I don't even listen to all that non-sense. Cannabis is just as normal as any other plant and I take it as serious farmers take their cash crops. I hope one day my dreams come true and I can move to the promised land :).

Yeah exactly. Take Bush's Baked Beans for example, you see the commercials, where the guy says the recipe's been in his family for so long, etc...

Or a better example would be a vineyard, with each generation of family working at the vineyard, etc... I envision living my life dedicated to growing cannabis, in a place where I won't be prosecuted, where I can teach my kids about the amazing plant and have them "carry on the tradition" hopefully.

Yeah man those are some perfect examples. Long life the Chronic! :stoned: but to carry on the traditional you'll have to grow some crazy ass strain and keep the genetics a secret lol.

I sure wouldn't mind it if 'the man" quit quibbling over a little mj cultivation and enjoyment.

Good luck with your harvest, O'man

Sho

I plan on developing my own strain much like our cannabis forefathers did, by traveling around the world to different locations and find it growing in it's natural environment, preferably pure landraces if they still exist by the time I get there, and find the best specimens and bring back seeds to experiment with, make desired traits stable, and then cross.
