Radogast 2 - Return of the Clones

[Radogast]

Harvest Day - The last of the first clones

When I started this journal, I had no idea I was going to struggle for so many months until the plants started to grow again. I also had no idea I would end up doing a perpetual grow and frequent harvests. But here we are....

17 months ago I began this journal starting with 10 week old clones that were failing to thrive...The last of these clones, 604 days old today, is finally ready for harvest. It is a milestone for me, but not a literal success. If it ALWAYS took 600 days to grow a 6 gram plant, I would need to grow about 400 plants to keep up with recent consumption levels I am grateful that most of my girls have given better bud and higher yields per day.

Trimmed and waiting to be washed.

And yes I was barefoot and in shirt sleeves outdoors in New Englan. --- November and December were a pleasant surprise this year


Our first few inches of snow for the season are expected in about a day and a half.

Running low

Hani's cola is a lot shorter - and the Janice jar is low. Janice only lasted this long because she makes a person very, very sleepy. Great for insomnia.

My wife opened up her stash jar (tall empty mother jar in back) and spread out the strains in jars so she can pick and choose among the dwindling supply.
Wasn't it nice of Michael's to have overstocked stash jars with chalkboard labels at 2/$1 ?

January looks to be a good month to refill jars.

I touched that hanging temperature and humidity sensor yesterday - my fingers got sticky

Whew! You had me worried there for a moment Rad. We can't have her running out of the homegrown wonders now, can we?

Introducing: White Widow Ava and Caramelicious Latrice Royal

White Widow Ava: named after the Ava Gardner look-a-like in Jim Lehrer's book, White Widow.

Caramelicious Latrice Royal: named after a Caramelicious queen from Ru Paul's Drag Race.
Like her namesake, Latrice Royal has faced adversity. Yesterday morning her root was exposed and her head was underground. She was laying sideways in the corner of her pot.
I lightly buried her root and freed her head.

Caramelicious Latrice Royal on the afternoon of her first day, struggling to raise her head.

By this morning Latrice had managed to raise her head, so (afer this photo) I tucked 1/2" of soil around her root to prop her upright.

After sitting out for 4 days, casually trimming, I finally cut, washed and set out Caramelicious Quiffa C1 to dry.

Caramelicious Quiffa dried fast, 18g - so almost enough to last a week.
Harvested Snowcap Stacy this afternoon, she came in at 8.5 oz wet. I think she will dry medium dense.

Happy, safe and budiful New Year to all!

Since I harvested and dried the last of the clones (Caramelicious Quiffa 18g), I am closing out this thread.

I started a new grow journal for a New Year : Radogast 2016: The Neverending Growing

Please join me there if so inclined.

Congrats on successful completion and may the next one be even better!

Hope all is well in your world.

Thanks for sharing this grow with us.

Please head over to the 420 Strain Reviews forum and post your smoke report there too.

I’m moving this to Completed Journals now.

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.
