Since I'm doing DWC, I've just taken to having a bucket or such nearby, and I pour some of the old rez in it, set the plant & lid on that, and then change out the main rez. It was just such a shock when she suddenly started getting tempermental about it!


How much longer.... That is the question. *chuckle*

She's GOT to be close... Calyx are nicely swelled, trichs 95-100% cloudy, she seemed to be at peak bouquet about 6 days ago...

I could harvest now, but since I appreciate the pain-relieving effects most, I like a later harvest.

But I don't think she'll need more than another week. Or maybe that's just as long as I can stand to wait. *grin*

It's been a long time since I had a plant with such strong sativa flowering traits (again, I usually go indica because I want that narcotic effect), so I'm worried about harvesting too late, or in between peak windows. But I've been very disciplined thus far. *wink*

3 days ago I harvested one of Champ's colas. Still no amber, but I wanted to sample her at her just-cloudy stage. I dried it for a couple of days, and put it in a latched canning jar.

Last night I had to try. It wasn't easy to get it burning since it was still a little damp for smoking, but with a few tricks, I got it going...

...And it was delightful! Not harsh at all - Long flush helped that I think, since clearly it didn't cure much. Plenty of body effect - in fact it knocked out my constant back pain completely for about an hour and a half (without putting me to sleep), which is something usually only morphine or oxy can do at doses so high that I turn into a puddle. *chuckle* And no paranoia whatsoever.

It's amazing what a little bag seed can become with hydro & TLC!

So I harvested the top 2-3" of the other 4 colas, and snipped some buds down about another inch. The rest I'll let go until they reach the same stage - no more holding out for amber, 'cause I'm very pleased with the high I got without it.

Thanks to all who supported this first hydro grow!

Starting those Sweet Tooth #1 seeds soon!
