Colombian Gold In Hydro By Gwhunran

Colombian Gold
Day 84 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

Another cool night, and so far a cool morning. Temperatures in the grow area hovering around 60F/15.5C an hour before noon.

The flowers continue to ripen, not much white left, prettiest color of orange.

Got another part for my CO2 system. A splitter with two valves, a hose for each room. Still waiting on the regulator, before installing things.

Colombian Gold
Day 85 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

Day 7 PHed water.

The flowers are looking finished. The buds are trichome encrusted and it takes a bit of looking to find a fresh pistil, they're covered in orange. The smell is nice but not too strong, when I'm in the presence of the flowers, but approaching the grow it's quite fragrant.

I tried taking pictures with the main light off. I couldn't get a good closeup. So maybe some individual stalk shots this afternoon.

I may start harvesting them tomorrow. Probably take a couple of days, if I cut, trim, and hang, the way I harvested the Golden Tiger.

Good luck with the harvest, they look fantastic. They should squish well too

 

[StoneOtter]

Happy harvesting! What a beautiful grow!

Thanks LKA, I will post this mornings pictures and then harvest pics to this point. On lunch break.
The smell trimming these flowers is something you will enjoy. The flowers above the screen are rock hard. I think you're right about the squishing. And what rosin it will be, too. Did I mention the smell.

Happy harvesting! What a beautiful grow!

Thanks Stone. It was almost a shame to cut it down. Almost.

Thanks GDB, Fixin' to post up my progress for the day. 2/3 done and an interesting development.

2/3 done.

I'd been trimming all afternoon and it finally dawned on me, "what I was smelling" fuel There is absolutely no fuel products in the grow area. It's the smell of this strain being trimmed. So citrus (sour) and fuel.

She looks great!

Thanks Stone, there ended up being more than I figured, and it's some really dense and trichome covered flower.

Colombian Gold
Day 87 since flip.

2nd day of harvest. All the stalks are trimmed and hung for drying. I ended up with a couple of additional boxes of stuff deemed to small to hang, and mistakes with the scissors on some larger flowers

This is some very good flower and there's a lot of it. The bud stays pretty dense far down the stalk.
I will use more of the plant on this grow, as the trichomes cover a good portion of the plant.

Colombian Gold, Day 87 flower, harvest complete. The rest will be picked through for bubble hash.

It ended up being a lot.

I'll say! Great harvest!

 

[LKABudMan]

Looks like a fantastic harvest! I'm surprised at how dense the flowers are all the way down the stem, too. Are you keeping the lowers in the system a little longer?

 

[greenmobster440]

Great job... beautiful harvest.

 

[gwhunran]

I'll say! Great harvest!

I was commenting to the wife about my neck hurting. I realized a moment later, it was from two days of trimming those stalks.

Confirmation!

I've always said trimming is a pain in the neck (as well as a pain in a more padded body part)!
