Wk8 is here

 

[kaw900r]

Amber hairs are curling back and everything is looking good to me so far

 

[kaw900r]

Don't want to harvest early and tmrw ends week 8. Almost all hits are amber and curling back. Frost on top looks white, cloudy

 

[kaw900r]

Stepping into week 9 and could use a little help on if these are done yet

Good morning my friend @kaw900r Garden is beautiful today.
I don't see any white pistols left, so they are pretty much finished building for you.
Or close too it.
I think it's time to check tric's.
Do you have a scope?
They are probably in range at this point.
Any preference of tric's.
Congrats on your upcoming harvest.

Stay safe
Bill

I have a scope so what exactly do I look for? That's what I'm not sure about. T/u for all of your help and if you were closer I would give you some

Here is a pic of tric's young on left.
Not the greatest pics but gives you an idea.
Center is cloudy, that's what I aim for.
Mostly cloudy, by then some have gone amber, far right or older ones.
I imagine by now you have a majority of cloudy tric's regardless.
So it's just a matter of preference.
Chop sooner get a more uplifting feeling.
Or wait a week or so for more amber and get a more relaxed feeling.
As long as all those pistols are red your able to chop with confidence knowing she has given you all she can.
Great work Amigo.
BTW thank you so much for the kind offer.
My wife is GM of a canabis distributor here, I get enough to keep me smiling. But thank you.

I turn my lights off for 36 hr pre harvest, do you?
Also are you set up and ready for the trim,dry and cure process?
It's as important as any other stage.
If you can get any tric shots post them and we can size up the situation.
Get them from the buds not sugars.
Try for a top middle and bottom shot if possible.

Stay safe
Bill

Yes I am ready for the harvest and was planning on the 36hr of darkness. After dark period I will hang in 1 tent and start seeds in other. Have a 4 tier hanger for drying also. Your help has really made this a great grow and look forward to many more from what I've learned. Pretty much have a solid nute structure I plan to use going forward. Going to put 2 pro 1000's in small tent with 2 2000's in larger for best coverage.

 

[kaw900r]

Wk9 started Friday, still been feeding and trying a 2 just water to drain. After that the 36hrs of darkness before chop and hang.

 

[kaw900r]

Last day of light, when it goes off today they will be in total darkness for the next 36hrs. I noticed when using water to flush past couple days it ran thru quickly compared to when feeding nutes.

 

[kaw900r]

Chop and hang day and I usually cut and just hang, but I have 1 of those 6 level hangers and was planning on using it. In those I would think it might dry a bit faster since there won't be all that stem involved. When hanging it's 5 to 7 days and thinking this might be on the 3 to 5 days. Just my thoughts on a proper cure not wanting it to get to dry. It seems like the cure can be the most important part

Good morning @kaw900r congrats on the harvest.
I find leaving them on the stems gives more time to break down as they dry.
A rack is definitely quicker as you are only drying the buds themselves.
Just keep a close eye on them.
And try not to drop the rh in the room too much.
And just minimal air movement in the room.
No direct fans on them.

Stay safe

Hey Bill I said it before I will say it again man with your help I have a great harvest. Didn't use the hanger yet stuck with just hanging them since that's what I'm comfortable with. I have 2 fans blowing low and the exhaust on with rh around 45-50 temp 66-68. Figure I will leave them alone for a few days and check them everyday after that. Some really nice colorful sweet smelling buds

 

[kaw900r]

1st plant chopped BK and she looks thick and solid

Check them regularly.
Don't let the rh of the buds drop below 65 before you put them in jars.
That's a beauty hanging there.

Stay safe

Still curing, haven't had any branches snap yet. There Still just bending

 

[kaw900r]

Everything is in jars and the taste test is amazing. Smooth can feel it within minutes after coughing and the tingling sensation on tongue and cheeks. Now to see what happens after sitting in jars cause the buzz now is so relaxing.

 

[kaw900r]

I though I might have hung it a little long but sitting at around 52% humidity in the jar.
