Carnival: A Community Grow Experience

[SweetSue]

Carnival 4.1 (Day 59)

She got upcanned to 3 gallons today. It was obvious to me that she needed more root space.

Had to cut her free. Lol!

Into her new pot, an increase of more than twice what she was sitting in.

From less than one gallon to three. She's gonna be sooooo happy.

The light gets all the way through.

I figured I already had one tree growing under these amazing bits of indoor sun, why not two?

Not to be overlooked, Carnival 4.2 (Day 39) She was cut from the mother 21 days into flower. She feasts on RX Green Solutions Better Grow.

Carnival (71 days) - Her pistils are turning nicely on the bottom of the plant. The trichomes down there are clear.

Decoding the Holy Grail: Terpene and Cannabinoid Retention - Decarb to Extraction

We have a new thread starting this morning that could use some curious minds, and in particular, any test results that speak to the challenges of decarboxylation.

Any and all interested minds are encouraged to join in the exploration as we attempt to get a better handle on decarbing.

Carnival Harvest​

Yesterday I thought I had a few days before harvest. Today I looked more closely at my first Carnival.

Her trichomes were looking a little battered.

I looked at her size - a great size !

I looked at her color in natural light and saw the pistils had changed color

After 75 days under the flowering lights, It's time to harvest Carnival!

This hobbit did a great job growing Carnival - I'll let him rest a bit before watching the Carnival clone

The trimming sunk my battleship!

Oh Rad....how did I miss this? Good grief, you had a stunning harvest. Should be ready to jar up soon, so you'll have a weight? Do you bother to weigh? I make oil, so it's necessary to have some general idea.

What a lovely sight.

Graytail, low and slo drying turned her into a one-hit delight. I've never had a Carnival do that before, but today I started with a hit while I was enjoying Pigeons showing off his HeadBand at 10 AM, and got so high that I didn't take another until 1 PM. That one carried me until just now, 5 hours later. I'm still buzzed, just no longer stratospheric.

I can't believe how delicious it is too. It has a new flavor I can't pin down, and the limonene has a more pronounced lime spike to it. Very different from previous harvests, and out-of-this-world potent.

I did 6 grams of oven dry. That was 3 days ago and we still have about 2 grams left. It must be potent stuff, cuz normally we go through 3-4 grams a day.

They say it's potentially better than 20% THC, so I'm not surprised. How has it been recieved by the lovely wife?

(reposted from my Hi-Brix thread)

The initial response to a sample of oven dry Carnival.​

Lovely Wife: "This smells fruity for oven dry."

Other smoker: "Yeah it does smell fruity."

Lovely Wife: (Smoke. Pass.) "Whoa that hits fast!"

Other smoker: (Smoke.) "That really does hit fast!"


(They begin an animated conversation about digital technology and over-personalized apps.)


(10 minutes later)


Lovely Wife: "This stuff gets you high. If we didn't have someplace to go, I could sit or go do stuff."
"I feel like I have a choice."


Me: (to other smoker) "Are you high?"

Other smoker: "Yeah. That's why I'm so chatty."

Hahaha!

Look at that. How is it possible that I can post that much in one day? Just this morning I was at 30,079 and I was saying how I wanted to catch it at 30,100, and I zipped right past that to 30,136 without stopping.

Great harvest Rad, mine is nearly 28" wide in veg almost ready to flip.
I'm not sure if its safe to post pic's anymore in case I'm tracked down, how safe are these sites?

Rob spends a rediculous amount of money to keep this site secure. That's why we feel so free to share. Check the pictures for any geographical markets before posting and you have every reason to feel safe.

Thanks for the reassurance Sue, guess I'm just a bit too Paranoid in my old age.

Today was Hempy H2O day, and I had Carn 4.2 out of the closet momentarily.

Carnival 4.1 ( Day 74, flip + 13)

She's exploding with growth.

Had to stand on a chair. Lol!

Carnival 4.2 (Day 54) Starting to set regular leaves.

Mine was 22" wide at best and yielded 120g dry - a good harvest for me. I'm rooting for your girl to pile on the bid buds!

Excuse me...... Your son has a problem with you growing and using cannabis? Send him my way. We'll have a little discussion about the endocannabinoid system and I'll be wanting to hear his replacement for cannabinoids, the most basic nutrients we can be ingesting.

Maybe this can help you with the photos.
