Big Jack's First Grow Ever - Flo-Og - FINI - Znet-9 LED - In Dirt

[bigjack]

Is this mold on my Fini cola? I dried it pretty well before jarring with a Boveda pack. Admittedly I didn't burp the jars but I thought I didn't need to with the Boveda. I am sad.

Admire your harvest

you should add some hydrogen peroxide to a cup of water and dip the buds in a bunch of times. after that dip them in a plain cup of water then lay or hang them out to dry.

That is a beautiful bud. Has it been in the Nug of the month contest yet?

 

[bigjack]

No, maybe I'll treat it for mold and then submit.

That does look like mould on your bud. I would cut out the mould from your bud with a pair of sharp scissors cleaned with alcohol.

Now that we're in late flowering I can swear I can smell it downstairs when the central A/C is on. I vent into the attic so I can't figure out why the smell is down here and only when the A/C is on. It's subtle so probably only LEO would recognize it but then that's the only person who really matters. God I hope we get amber here soon.

 

[bigjack]

holy shit balls, I guess my filter is giving up the ghost because I got a little whiff while I was outside. Thank god I have a back up. I'm going to put it on tonight.

 

[bigjack]

I think that was the solution because I don't smell anything now.

 

[KingJohnC]

Good pickup on that the carbon filter was not working properly.

 

[Radogast]

Good being prepared by having a spare

trichome update. What percentages are amber?
It's weird how different pictures of the same plant show more or less amber. It's not spread evenly across all tricomes even on the same flower. Why?

OX #2

and sure enough, the second picture for OX on the RD website looks like my pic

that's just the way the plant grows. also I think physical damage can turn trichomes amber prematurely.

 

[bigjack]

Flo-OG is showing its fall colors 10 days after flush. Good thing this grow is almost over because I saw a couple gnats or some kind of flying insect.

 

[Radogast]

Coming up on a nice finish there. Good looking leaves. Tasty looking florets.

 

[skunnymonster]

Nice fat sticky buds BJ, lets hope the flying insect was just passing through

 

[KingJohnC]

The trichomes in your photographs appear to be 3%-5% amber. I harvest my cannabis plants by trichome maturity. You need a 30x jewelers loupe to see the trichomes and judge when to harvest. Most people harvest from 5%-30% amber trichomes. Harvest at 5%-15% amber trichomes for a "head high" energetic effect and harvest at 30%-50% amber trichomes for a "body stone" sedative effect strain dependent.

CHOP DAY

It's Saturday so today works out the best. I probably could go a little longer but I think they're ready. I haven't watered in 5 days so they're getting droopy
I wanted to take some individual pics. I'll actually start chopping once night falls
Flo-OG #1 she's the most leggy pheno

Flo-OG #2 she is the more stacked of the two Flo-OGs. This is my one plant in a smart pot

OX #1 this is the prettiest of the 4 plants. She's showing purple and she's never been under 70F so it's straight genetics.

OX #2

Family pic in the same order from the left

More pics tonight and tomorrow.
PEACE

 

[skunnymonster]

Those buds look nice & heavy man, that's what I like to see OX #1 is gorgeous, I wanna lick her all over

 

[b.real]

they look great
