Bud's Does A SIP Featuring The ViparSpectra KS5000

[Buds Buddy]

You've got a bunch of pH pen users following you to help answer that question, but I'll tag @bluter for another opinion.

Seems like I got a lot more yellowing the last couple of weeks since I haven't been able to pH. Could be that it's just ready for harvest too. But still prefer to pH just the same. Thanks for tagging.

Well ya'all... lol.... Yeah, you bet cha ... I just crack myself up sometimes. Any old ways, I have some pics from a few days ago to post. I also took pics today I'll post later. Not really much to say about the gals. Other than Trichs changing color not much has really changed. They don't seem to be swelling anymore & drinking less & less & I'm getting a lot more yellowing. That's about it so I'll just post some pics.

And here are some pics of the Platinum Gorilla. She sure put out some nice plump nugs.

Back later with today's pics. Had to post these first so I don't mix things up. Damned It ! Getting old sucks !

Beautiful Buds!

Well, last time you'll see this gal as a whole plant. She's coming down.

I decided on 90% Cloudy & 10% Amber Trichs. Usually, I wait till I get closer to 25% Amber. But I've heard it's at it's peak potency when it's mostly cloudy so I'm about to find out. She looks pretty tasty & the smell is really strong compared to many of the strains I've grown.

The Platinum Gorilla is getting pretty close to done also. Maybe by next week.

Such a nice looking pair Buds!

HARVESTING
So yesterday morning I started my harvest on the RUNTZ PUNCH. This is my preferred method of harvest.
STEP 1:

Step 2: I like to remove as many Fan Leaves as possible before removing any branches. It's just so much easier with something to hold the branches while cutting the leaves off.

Step 3: Remove the Top Colas & Side Branches.

Step 4: Now that I'm down to everything in the center of the plant, I'll let it finish for another week before I harvest the rest of it. Next week... I'll repeat steps 1-3 & complete my harvest. She will get her final feed tomorrow & then I'll just let her dry out. It'll take at least a week for the soil to completely dry; so not too worried about it.

By the time the RUNTZ is Harvested the Platinum Gorilla should be ready.

With this big girl you'll need to repeat Step 1 a few times!

After all that chopping it's still an incredibly large plant!

Looks like a jar cure is out of the question. Turkey bags, here we come!

She looks great! And 10% amber isn't too shabby either, well done!

Is this a kilo grow Buds? Looks it! She soaked up a ton of rays from that KS5000!

Lucky for me I have 1 gal, 1/2 gal & qt. Jars for the cure & lots of them.

KS5000 did a hell of a job. Not sure about the weight yet. Too hard to tell, but it should be pretty good.

Full of ritual sense, exciting moment

Well my stuff dried too fast. Only 4 days. Usually takes about 7 days in this closet I dry in. I'll have to add my small humidifier for the next batch to slow down the dry a little.
Anyways, I got 12.5 oz. so far from the first chop. Hopefully get another 12.5 (or more... lol) by time I'm done.
Smoked a small bud. A little harsh but has a berry flavor to it. Nice mellow high after it creeps up on you.
I'll post some bud pics this weekend.

Well I've been chopping on the big girl little by little for a week now. She'll be down completely by morning. Here's where I'm at so far.

My closet is pretty much full of stuff drying at the moment.

And here is the 12.5 oz. I got from the first batch.

This is some pretty potent stuff & easy to smoke too much & have it knock you on your ass. Creeper Weed !

 

[StoneOtter]

Solid!
