Fourth of July Crop

Nice harvest! Let's see, if the dry weather keeps up, you'll be one well-medicated Grill Meister at the holiday bbq!!! :jointsmile:

Thanks. I still have some foxy seed purp and some afghani from my last grow. That's some very nice herbs.

Now I have to keep my head straight so I can qualify this next bunch o' buds. At least I've only got one strain with three kinds, the early hermie, the purple pheno and all the rest seem very much the same. It's still early in curing, but the early bud is decent. I'm going to touch off a bowl in a little while. I'm really anxious to try the stuff that's drying, of course. Also, I'm curious to know the totals.


Now I won't have to grow for a good long time.

Very nice work as usuall Shov.

Never had the chance to sample bubble gum yet. I may have to order some of that in the future.

Sorry to here about that lab, I owned one before and I would be compleatly devistated if it were mine. Hope they learned that they need a fence or one of those invisable radio fences.

GREAT WORK JG.

I'm concerned about drying. We've had rainy weather since I cut and hung the plants two days ago. I'm running a box fan and an exhaust fan in the dry room. The temp is only 67° so I added an electric unit heater in the room to bring the temp up for a while. Any suggestions here? thanks

I did have one bud with a wee bit of bud rot when I cut. I put that brattwuerst sized bud in a dry place after I picked off the rot. Well, I tried to smke a bowl of it today. Not dry enough, but very potent anyway. yessireebob.

Sorry to hear about the dogs.......its strikes me as amazing what people will let animals do....running around in the street (do you let your three year old child do this also???) and then getting angry at the person who hit them.......when the fault very clearly lies with the neglectful owner........(off soapbox....)

Beautiful harvest Shov.....well done!! :thumbsup:

About the dead dog...the owner was very sad, upset but not blaming anyone but hereself. I want to see if the other neighbor's dog gets put back on the wireless fanse that they had for her or they let her run till she's hit. (they all get hit on this road, we've even seen a horse hit. I saved another horse once when I went out hand held it's mane until the owner came. Pretty site, me at the side of the road in bathrobe and slippers, the horse standing on my foot!

Anyhow, here is a photo of a pice of bud that I had to cut a little rot out of. It's drying much faster than the hanging buds.

woo hoo , looks tasty

Im probly going to be harvesting this weekend as well. What are your thoughts on the 36 hour dark period before harvest, ...make a difference ??


Peace

Well, I don't really know. For years the question has been, when to harvest? Wet or dry, dark or sunny? I've concluded from reading smart people who write books that it's best to pick a plant at rest and in good health (not too wet or dry). The hairy Spanish author says 36 hours of dark, so I go with that now. If you'd like to try and prove his theory, just pick some herb the day at the end of the day when you plan on shutting off the lights. Then when everything is all dried and cured you can report on any major significance in going with the dark period. Thanks.

hairy Spanish authors are all the proof I need. Into the dark they go...
Thanks :thumbsup:

I'm unsure of that whole thing about Jorges article. It's been so long but I remember a confusion about it on this site. Some say that Jorges says 36 hours of dark before harvest, others say that it said 36 hours of darkness before flipping to 12-12. I do know that I've been doing it this way for a while before I ever heard of Jorges Cervantes. But I still don't really know why? :stoned:
