A Passion for Cheese - Stratonites First Grow - 300 Watt CFL

[Stratonite]

I think I will leave it for 2 weeks maybe 3 if I can Weight, I Hope I get a bit more than 36 grams, I am going to try and flavor it a bit, I am thinking some pure orange juice in the water for the last week.

dunno if your gonna wanna put owt acidic in it. especially if you plan to reuse the soil

HARVEST TIME IS HERE!!

I cut the girls down today, (felt really guilty killing them) I trimmed most of the leaf matter of and hung them in the tent with the lights removed and the fans still going.

Definalty not as much as I'd hoped for but I am glad I have made it this far. any more guesses on final weight?

 

[Equanimity]

Evil murdering bastard!


Nice harvest, nice tray of trim as well

We'll want to see dry weight and a smoke report lol

looks nice , try get a grid of some type , something were the air can get around the bottom at the same time ,i use a fire guard , it will give you even dryness mate , hard to say on the weight , but at least you got there safely with no big problems

Ok Guys, So I didnt trim all of the leaf matter as there was a lot of THC on them, Will I have to trim or can I smoke the leaves that are still on the bud?

Anytime I buy weed I only get the the buds. with no leaf at all. Below is a few pics to show how much leaf matter I left.

You could do a dry trim on them for beautification purposes but mine looked like this after I was done with my last grow and I just left em on, they smoked just fine.

If you do remove them, be sure to keep them cos they'll get you stoned just as well as the buds.

Thanks Equanimity, also they seem to be pretty dry, even though I only hung them last Thursday, would they ok to start smoking?

6 days then. The smoke might be a little on the harsh side, but yeah you can go ahead and jump in.
Anything your not smoking, get it in jars. Open the jars once a day for around 15 minutes. If you noticed any moisture (puddles at the bottom or condensation anywhere in the jar) then just rehang for a day or two and then back in the jar. Repeat as required.

Drying time will depend on how thick and how big the flowers are. it can range from 1 week to a month or more. my sour tsunami will be hanging for around 2 weeks and the colas were around a oz each wet weight. from what i have found out, also has to do with the temp and humidity in the room. i aim for 50-60 degrees and 58-65 humidity.

Leaving leaf on your flowers wont hurt you by any means, the smoke from the flower will be smoother then the leaf material though. A leafy flower will have a slight harsh feeling to it with a planty taste.

its hard to guess weights off pictures, but id like to guess around 30 grams. hoping you get around 40+ !

id say for a cfl grow you did good!

Ok guys, looks like I'm done!

I had a very successful harvest for a first timer, I got 72grams (a wee bit damp but dry enough for a good smoke).

Both Strains are a very good smoke! not harsh at all as I had expected bue to the short hanging time. It's give me a very long lasting head high. I'm also glad I left some of the leaf matter on as it didn't effect the smoke and is full of THC.

I would like to thank everyone who helped out especially Equanimity and Paddy Smoke! Without you guys I would never had made it to the end!

P.s. think is is my first and last grow due to ball busting from the other half.

Seriously, nice work. 73.1g from a cfl grow is well good and I think double what I hit, good show old bean.

Gutted about the trouble and strife man, that's a sickner. You'll just have to make this last. Don't race through it in a week like I did lol

 

[Stratonite]

Thanks Equanimity!! I also I had to weigh up the risks and think what I would have to lose if i got caught. I have really enjoyed the grow though and might do it again down the line.

Yeah it can be a tad risky in our wee corner of the world.
Well, maybe one day you'll have the opportunity again at some point.
Pretty cool of your OH to let you do this grow tho, my ex would've had none of it lol
