New Bubbler Grow Coming Soon - Input Welcome!

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*

US mail is so very busy between now and Dec. 20th that I've found it an excellent time to order items you want to keep under the radar. Of course there's an increased chance of packages being lost or delayed as well, but if you're primary concern is detection, order now! I have some promising Spice of Life/DJ Short "Sweet Tooth #1.1" seeds on order from Hemp Depot. These are a special release cross between SoL's Sweet Pink Rating: 5

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!
