Frosty! They look awesome Aero808 congrats!

Thanks Pbass. Should be a tasty harvest

Day 45 of flower and I'm starting the flush. Will do 2 weeks of PH'd tapwater.

Here are some pics now that it's lights on

7 Weeks into flower and they are frostier than last go under the HPS. The buds also seem more mature. I'll take a sample bud in the coming days and have a look under the microscope.

Also pretty excited to see how these tomatoes turn out. First time growing them. Beefsteak!

Frosty AF

Day 50 and the smell is overwhelming a brand new carbon filter. I went with one of the cheapies from Amazon and it isn't holding up against the pungent sticky icky. Lesson learned. The leaves are also really starting to color up... greens and purples and golds, oh my.

I'm going to harvest this upcoming Monday due to scheduling issues... putting them at 55 days. 3 sooner than last go, but this LED seems to be maturing them faster. Trichs are a mix of clear and cloudy on the lower branch I clipped just now. Hoping to have mostly cloudy by harvest time.

I've been waiting for this update.
Looking very nice

 

[Aero808]

Happy to oblige. Thanks!

It took roughly 6 hours to harvest, which has got to be record time. I liked using my buddy's trim bowl so much I went ahead and bought myself one. It saves so much time... and no more carpal tunnel either. It's the bomb!

I'm guessing I have a little over a pound once things are dried and cured, probably 4 or 5 ounces more than last time using the HPS. It's also more terpy and coated with trichs. LED seems to have won in terms of weight and quality.

The stretch on this Sorbet Stash is pretty wild. I noticed a few of the tallest colas had signs of light stress. I think the next strain I have waiting in the wings should stay short and squat. It's a cross between blueberry and foulmouth. Stay tuned!

Congrats on your harvest. Those buds are mouth watering

 

[Aero808]

Thanks McRib. It was nice having you along for the ride

I've gone over all of the buds with a pair of trimmers, and it looks like I've done a little better than anticipated. I have 20.8 ounces, or 8 jars worth of some pretty sweet flowers. I should have a little over a pound once things are dried and cured. That would be approximately 4 ounces more than last go with the hps. There was also way less larf using the Gavita.

Things aren't quite dry yet, but I wanted to slow the process down a little bit. I put everything in jars for a few hours in order to equalize the moisture levels. I'll be dumping them onto a tray a few times for an hour or two until I'm satisfied with the final product. At that point, I throw a boveda pack in each jar and burp them a couple of times per day.

Waiting for your next round
