Overfed 3 of them (not too bad). I guess thc bomb and one of the VK's didn't like full strength nutes, 3 times in a row lol. I just finished watering them, they only received ph'd water and a tablespoon of epsom salt since I haven't done that in a while. Should I feed water once more, then switch schedule to -full feed- -full feed- -water- -full feed- -full feed- -water-....?
Everyday I'm more amazed at what a 400w light can do. Can't wait for the swell now.
Took them out of the tent today, watered them, and rotated too. Tied the big one up, some of the buds were starting to fall over. Some color is starting to come in on most of them, finally.
Disaster struck tonight . I'm really having a bad day now.... opened the tent and one of the fans fell on top of 4 bud sites. There was no hope for trying to save them, so they got chopped. I hope that was the right move. ;( And I really pray the rest of the plant keeps on truckin, because it is my frostiest plant thus far. The top 3 bud sits are still okay.
Smoking a ton now tonight in their honor, R.I.P. 4 nice bud sites. They're now drying in the other closet. Pictures when I'm in a better mood...
Smoked some of the violator kush I was forced to dry... my god. This shit is great! and it wasn't even done or cured at all (3 weeks early then dried 7 days). Really smooth already though. It's also completely covered in trichs and has a really long lasting high. I'll get some good pictures soon, I bought a microscope for my phone to check the buds.
Update-
So they swelled up real well, but I didn't get any real color like I was hoping. Regardless, I have way more weight than I ever imagined. They're all chopped up, trimmed most of the way, and hung up. Didn't take too long, about 5 hours.
They're in the tent, drying at 70% w/ 55% RH. Both fans are on circulating fresh air and the carbon filter is cleaning it
5 strings are up and filled with fresh bud, all strains are separated.
last post will be pics of all the bud in jars, and a final weight.
Holy buds!!
Looks like you are going to get some good weight from those plants.
Good to see such great results from your setup!
Looking forward to hear dried weight and maybe a smoke report!
Here's a few pics of two big buds, and half the crop in jars. I will get some more pics up later of it all. Total weight was 244.9g. Much better than I ever dreamed of on my first grow. Now they are getting a 3 week cure... then smoke for weeks!
