2/16 (Day 98)(Day 61 Flower)

Things are still on course in the tent.
The BW and KK are getting just water w/molasses.

The BW is just about there, seeing just a lil' sprinkling of amber now. I'm undecided on whether she'll come down this weekend, but it's more likely than not. :thumbsup:

The KK is coming along nicely. She'll go another week, or whatever.

No signs of amber yet. Mostly getting milky, but with a lot of clear still showing.
A sample taken a week ago had a nice effect, and the quick dry w/no real cure wasn't even too bad tasting. :jointsmile: The "popcorn" sample dried to a nice, dense, sugary lil' nugget.

X2d is draggin' her feet. She's coming along slowly. Under magnification there are plenty of stalked trichs forming, but the majority haven't swollen. :wtf: Going to keep an eye on her, but she'll probably be cut when the KK comes down, ready or not. Really don't want to tie-up the tent for any longer than necessary, the KK clones need a place to do their thing!

Getting some other beans dirty, to run with the KK clones.

Timber! :thumbsup:

The BW comes down today. She's showin' ~5% amber, that'll do. Not really interested in a heavy couch-lock effect, mainly looking for appetite stimulation and anti-anxiety effects.

Pulled off all the big fans for the compost pile. She's really a breeze to trim-up, nice stiff branches with well-formed nugs, easy to get in tight with the scissors. Sugar-leaf trim filled a paper lunch sack about 1/3 of the way.

KK and X2 still drinkin' water. The end is near.

Yep, that'll do. :thumbsup:

KK is looking nice. A lil' sprinkling of amber throughout. Less than 5%, but that's plenty. Previous "tester-nugs" were *quite* acceptable. :jointsmile:

KK is a pain in the ass. At least, this one is.
Had to use a lot of support to keep the branches from bowing like a fly-rod with a trout on line! I'm super impressed with the way KK has bulked-up. When I disconnected the support for the plant top the stem instantly buckled (pic 2). No chance the spindly little stem could have supported the top, on its own.
She dropped only a few large fans, they remain as mostly dried-up, crispy things...until the petiole, which is still firmly attached. Of coarse, the crumbly fan remnants get stuck to the deliciously-sticky buds. :wtf: Live and learn... The irregular shape of the buds adds to the "PITA factor". A lil' more work to trim-up, but well worth it, IMO.

Hopeful to find her sweet-spot WRT nutes and such, with the clones to play with. This run she got 100% of the FF schedule, prolly a bit much.

X2 comes down today, as well.

The trichs are showing about a 40/60 split clear/milky. Ambers are nearly non-existant. She should probably go at least another week or three, but that can't happen now. This one really looks pretty good. I'll re-veg her so that I can grab some clones to grow out with some longer-flowering strains, sometime in the future. I'm pretty disappointed about not seeing her finish-up.

Real easy trimmin'. Dense, heavy, well-defined nugs (Golf balls). :thumbsup: Curious to see how much heft they retain, upon drying.

Of the three, this one produced the heaviest buds (before dry), when compared volumetrically. Way to go, Bagseed!!

2/27 (Day 109)(Day 66 Flower)(Day 6 Dry)

BW has been hanging to dry. Into the jar for curing, today. :thumbsup:

Picked up a couple of good sized acrylic containers at the area "Junk-Mart".
Loosely packed, got it all in one container. Weight going in, was 92 grams (for you metric folks), or just a bit over 3 oz. (for us dinosaurs).

I'll update again when the KK and X2 go into the jars. ('bout a week)

One last look at the KK and X2, and some BW pics.

man evil, that jar looks tasty! nice log!:thumbsup:

Thanks, Killa! I'll be sure and let ya know how the "purple" beans pan out for me.

The X2 and KK go into the jars today. :thumbsup:

X2 weight was 103 grams. (~3.5 oz.) Got 'er all in one jar. Looks ok, pleasant citrus-like aroma. We'll see how it cures.

KK weight was 117 grams. (~4 oz.) Not bad looking, considering the issues I had with the crumbly fans and my lack of patience in manicuring. Looks nicely frosted. The clincher is the aroma! I hope she retains some of these smells through the cure! Very sweet smelling, a fruity-cereal sort of smell. Mmmmmmmmm.

All weights are for the medicine in the jars.

Sugar trim for all 3 plants, combined, came to 27 grams dry.
(BW@8g),(X2@9g)(KK@10g)
Haven't done anything with it, probably good for a batch of brownies or something.


I am pretty pleased with the grow. The goal of growing out the strains, sans any techniques for yield enhancement, worked out well. Got a hair under 11 oz. of bud along with a good look at the growth patterns. :thumbsup:

Very nice, EvilC! Kandy Kush looks like a real nice one! :jointsmile: I'll have to give that one a try. I'd love to see it topped or in a scrog. Enjoy!
