Back For Another Grow

[Canachris]

That wasn't so bad, an I have sticky fingers to suck on all day. I'm pretty sure I've got 3 nice dry days ahead of me so drying should go smoothly, after they dry a bit I may have to cut the popcorn buds off and dry them in a strainer. I'll probably be looking at them all day, the first day they look sooo big but they shrink fast

She was starting to hermie on me... such a naughty girl

 

[Canachris]

Y a big bud... Y not

 

[Canachris]

Sissors all sticky again, after they dry a week or two I can scrape off all that goodness out and put it in the pipe

 

[Canachris]

Feels good to have weed in the bank. Once I get batteries for my scale I can give a tally, if I don't smoke it all by then. I've already gone thru a pack of papers so that's 50 joints, I'm estimating 3 1/2 oz from the first plant . The one I cut today prolly 4-5. Seedlings go in the box now and when I have the energy I have to rearrange everything and plan out spacing if I'm growing more than 1 plant

 

[Canachris]

Another perfect day on tap. got lots of shite to get done today, have to clean my grow room (AKA) my bedroom. need to get containers ready ... need to get my mind rite first. day moon ! luv it when moon set is the same time as sunrise. and now for Some pics

 

[Canachris]

Sux being a hoarder, I've got shite that I have no idea where I got it why I got it and why am I saving it. Buds are shrinking

 

[Canachris]

After five months I thought there would be a lot more roots. if I had outside space I could rejuvenate this soil over the summer. maybe I'll fish out most of the roots an give it a little water an leave it in the bag.

 

[Canachris]

Welp, after five hours of spring cleaning I'm just about dead. but the up side is the house is clean and my grow supplies and all the shite that goes along with the whole process is organized. The seedlings got five hours of sun. this next 4 - 5 weeks I can grow them with a combination of sunlight thru the window and only 1 95watt quantum board and get caught up on the electric bill. Still not sure what seedling gets the big container, I'm leaning towards the one in the yogurt container

 

[Canachris]

Cut off all the popcorn buds from the branches, it's supposed to be wet an humid for the next few days. That should make for a slower drying process

 

[Canachris]

Seedlings look good except for the tallest one, I think I didn't put enough drainage holes in the lil container. Can't find my drill bits. I underestimated the amount of soil I had and I only filled the 5 gal bucket 3/4, and the big container could use a bit more too. this is what happens when you wait till the last minute

 

[Canachris]

Ok, I took the batteries out my remotes and put them in the scale. 48 gr. popcorn bud and 40 gr. Big bud, so by my math it comes out to... More than I thought

oh and I've smoked fity jay-bars, so add at least another 7 gr.

It's a rainy dank day, it's a bit on the humid side in here. Outside it's tropical, dew point in the lower 60's 90 percent humidity. didn't know if the buds were better off hanging or in jars, the humidity in here will only get worse as the day goes on. The big buds felt dryish. but not crunchy, I put em in jars don't know why. two an a half jars, the old style ball jar had no rubber seal so I put a rubber band on it. It's the only one I have left from my mom's, makes be long for some. hmm my mother called it "pick a lilly" it was pickled green tomatoes, but anyhoo that the history of the old jar

 

[Canachris]

Seedlings looking good , they need to be transplanted but I need more soil. hate to do it but I may have to add some old soil to the 5 gallon bucket , one more thing to coz problems

 

[Canachris]

Popcorn buds, don't know if I should bag em or not, they feel a bit more less dry than the big buds did. there probably better off in the strainer

Be careful CC, looks like too much green in one jar. Few weeks back I did same thing and just about lost 6 jars. It was all same plant and the one jar that was really overpacked had tiny specs of white on the stem. It was a pisser, ended up tossing that 1 jar, the rest I broke the buds down further, removed every stem and air dried the crap out of them. The jars that I saved are still suspect anyway but it’s labeled accordingly and going for rso caps

I love the look of whole colas or hand sized nuggets but you really gotta dry the crap out to do that. Protect your harvest add a few jars to your toolbox and you will thank me later! Most dollar stores have 6 packs of jars & lids on the cheap in stock now

Congrats on the chop, that’s some mighty fine looking produce,

yep I’d hit that!

 

[Canachris]

Thanks 013, I was thinking the same thing this morning when I noticed they are not drying out at all. with the dew point in the upper 60's. even with the windows closed it's more humid than I expected, I'm going to take all the buds out and spread them out to dry. Good news is the humidity is "supposed" to dry up as the day goes on. but I've heard that B4 I have a bunch of jars so I can re-jar them after they dry a bit. Once again thanks for pointing this out for me it would have been really depressing to lose my big buds

 

[Canachris]

Seedlings, not shur if I should start a new journal or just keep this one going ?

 

[Canachris]

Shrinkage, they do know cold water can... no no we're talking bud shrinkage. it can be quiet a let down, that first day I chop and do a quick trim and hang em they look sooo big... but in 24 hrs they shrink half their size. am I doing something wrong or does everyone go thru this. as much as I love the big colas I could cut off more of the smaller buds, it's not like trimming the shrubs makes the tree look bigger
