Picture diary of my girls

[irydyum]

Had to update. Killed em' all. Completely intentional, they are soon going to fulfill their ultimate destiny where they will live out their days behind glass before taking up residence in some lucky smokers lungs. Mostly mine :rastasmoke:

Heres some of the pics from chop day and then one of the dried product.

"You can't be talkin like that when the lion gets here..." I can watch that movie daily and it doesn't get old.

I just move em into some of the big bell mason jars, open em daily for long enough to stink up my house, then seal em back up.

I don't leave much stem with the buds, not a big fan. I'd rather have a quarter pound nice dense popcorn than a bunch of em stuck on stems to make em look bigger.

BTW, if the stars align like I want them too, I should be moved in around Dallas by the end of the year. Look out Texas, im comin to get ya!!

as far as curing, that's pretty much what i do. i'm always curious because i can't seem to get them to smell good. i'm sure my method needs some tweaking to say the least. lol.

that's a good method, trimming buds off the big stems. i notoiced that about my last harvest. sure they look cool, but why?!

i bet it helps the rest of the drying and the cure even up.

that's sweet that you are moving around this way, if the stars align. you might not like it, being from cali. hell i'm from here and starting not to like it! the people for the most part are pretentious, in dallas itself anyway. texans for the most part are warm and welcoming.

what part of cali are you from (or moving from)?

I lived in dallas for a while about 5 years back. I'm not currently in cali, but from there just north of San Diego.

I agree about the pretension of Dallas, but I plan to be off the grid to the north. I'm not one to be seen out in public too often, so they can go ahead with their fancyness while I smoke myself to oblivious happyness.

"Can't see it from my house" comes to mind there.

Good Day one and all..

You mentioned you cut some of the top off of the cola.
Can I do this to my plants now???? They are in their 3 week of flower and looking real good, but always room for improvement.

Can you explain in more detail what I should do to the Cola,

Did you cut only the cola or all big bud sites???

Good Growin

It is merely speculation at this point that it works. Very subjective. I got larger colas that were fatter and denser this time around. I need to try it with some other strains before I can validate that it works broad spectrum.

What I did is took a sharp pair of scissors and literally shaved about the top millimeter of the cola off. Took hairs and a very TINY amount of the actual bud material, all in all it was less material than would amount to a seed coming off the top. Very little. Recovered within a day or 2, then began pushing foxtails out from all sides of the bud.

If you are going to try this, I would recommend you do it to one or 2 top or near top buds and compare it for yourself. If you do decide to do it, I think I did it in about week 4 on an 8 week strain.

Let me know if you try it and what it does for you.
