[LilJah]

Sry for the vanishing act. Glad yall have entertained yourselves. LOL will post pics 2day.

Girls are doing good and i gots 3 new babies in the ground. All autos.

 

[tobiherbe]

Hey liljah just droppin in to see how your ladies are doin...i was goin to by some autos jus to try them.

 

[LilJah]

they are doing great. just filling in.

 

[ZeppelinBaked]

Lol no problem, with finding it..should be easy. Try your local nursery, or ask around at walmart. I had the same problem looked right at it, but didn't notice it and had to ask a person in the department haha

TnT's big update.

So Tnt is a Top69 strain. 69 days is the pull date. Im on 64. A friend told me that if I want an uplifting high and not couchlock I should harvest a little earlier than usual. Shes coated with white hairs and crystals like nobodys bizz. She looks prime to me. How about you guys?
Budd Porn. All Tnt today.

Her main cola looks delicious.

Deez is doing a little better. This isnt her day though. LOL
This is Tnt's moment.
Shall she be condemned today?
Could anyone verify this whole "if you dont want couchlock pull a little earlier myth?"
I honestly think ive heard it more than once. What are some other sure fire signs that im ready for harvest?
If anyone could hit me back son it would be appreciated too. Because I have the perfect oppertunity for harvesting at this very moment.
So someone let me know.
Will it affect the taste or high?
blah


peace and love everyone.

 

[LilJah]

Anybody? im trying to do this RIGHT NOW if its a good thing to do..

hey Liljah,,

looking at pic 2 and 3, I see mostly cloudy, with maybe a touch of amber..

hard to tell, gets a little blurry when blown up.. and the amber could be the light...

I don't know what type of high the plant normally has,,

generally,, the more amber,, the more oh a couch-lock type high, I don't think you are there yet,,

it looks frosty, so you could pull now, but if it were me, I would wait a bit more.. (but I like a heavier more of a body stone,,,)

gonna go do some cutting. Have fun everyone. Ill post after shots for you all.

Thannks Zen. Your the man.

 

[Lemon Paradise]

no problem, glad I could help,, is this your first grow? have you read up on drying and curing?

I saw Roseman use a box, and though it was the best thing ever!! he basically runs tape across it, to create a place to hang them.. I will see ifI can find the post/pic..

then get some mason jars for storage and curing...


here it is...

Roseman,, hope you don't mind me using your pic..

 

[Lemon Paradise]

he then puts a small fan to run across the top of the box,, not into the box,,, the box I think, also helps absorb the moisture better,,

anyways, like 1-2 days for small puff buds, 2-3 for med buds, and 3-5 for the bigger ones, then into the jar... there are some good threads on curing...

Oh harvest day, Nice! Can't wait to see the photos!

I agree with herb zen, I like Rosemans box idea. Though I haven't applied it my self I wanted to. I just didn't have any boxes.

 

[LilJah]

TnT is dead.

So i just finished cutting, snipping and trimming away on Lady Tnt. I think I did a pretty good job.
I did a version of the box idea that i saw somewhere else. I threaded shoestring through a small box. Then you take thumbtacks and push them through the stem into the string. Not the box. So they will dangle.
I have no fan but my attic is pretty hot and well ventilated. Im just going to place it up there. I have plenty of mason jars.
I didnt bother with wet weight seeing as it totally doesnt matter. I estimate 2 oz wet. The buds are plenty heavy and very mango-ish with their smell. VERY. Cant wait to smoke...but i will.
The pictures really do it no justice because its way more than it looks.
The cutting happened like this:
First: I cut off all the main leaves first then trimmed them down. Not all the way but closer to the budd. I put that first batch of leaves away.
Second: I trimmed down closer to the budd. I separated this batch of trimming because they are trichome coated...i know they can be of some use. If not im going to put them in front of the heater and dry them a little more and then....well ill smoke em. LOL

Then I put the budds on the setup shown.
Heres the pics!!!
Main Cola...mmmmm

Box setup like i was shown.

See how they are not pinned to the box...

Now I just have to let it stand in the attic and do its thing.
Advice for anything?
Update on Deez soon. Hope you guys havent forgot about her...because she is my pride and joy right now. Im stoked about Tnt but she was just to last me until Deez is ready...LOL.
The opening act.

 

[tobiherbe]

nice budz liljah man i cant wait to harvest again..i be feelin like a kid that got candy when harvest time comes lol..gd job man

 

[tobiherbe]

Ay liljah have u ever thought about using bigger pots on your next grow..it gives u a bigger harvest..u just gotta have the space and i think u do lol..

 

[LilJah]

i got space now. LOL
and this grow is just to prepare me for my Sour Cream grow coming up.
I havent told you guys but i got three shortryders in the ground and im about to put a Sour Cream in too. Now that i got a handle on growing again.

 

[tobiherbe]

Lol nice sour cream man i like that shit..i had some last week and man was i in outer space lol..

 

[LilJah]

updatee...deez pics...harvest pic

Quick update with pictures...Harvest was some great smoke. Still is great. Curing to bring out smell and taste now but its smokeable and it gets you very stoned. More of a heady high than any body high and leaves you starving...ill give it 7.5 out of 10 on my list and ive smoked a lot of good weed. Smell is more piney with a hint of mango and not harsh at all...overall great budd.
Heres a shot.

Deez Pics.
Shes either about to flower very heavily or somethings wrong. Im hoping on flowering...lol. Shes doing a lot of yellowing...Still smells amazing. that Diesal smell is definately still intact.
I also got my Sour Cream into soil today. Thought id tell you all but ill start another journal on that...itll be on my links...not going to do it now seeing that i just smoked some of TnT and im just really really really high and its not gonna happen...
heres your pics..lol

byeee guys....

 

[LilJah]

Help...Somethings wrong...again.

I FAIL.
Simple as that.....i fail so fxckin hard...
I just flushed Deez (again)
Damn MG soil....a nute packet pust have popped on me because Deez is getting RAVAGED RIGHT NOW.....
ugh...

and this..

So what am i dealing with this time?

 

[tobiherbe]

Damn bro my ladies was starting to look like that now that it 3 weeks in flowering i got scared and stopped using nutes..im using mg soil aswell.now all those bad leaves i had are jus fallin off..if the plant is still green let it grow.you didnt fail bro..we learn as we go bro.nice budz too

 

[DJMattz0r]

LilJah, glad to hear that you got some nice smoke! I almost want to say it could have used a bit longer. Hard to tell exactly but most plants will go through a second phase of growth right at the end where the calyxes will swell and look almost like they have seeds inside of them. The pistils also will yellow/brown and recede in towards the bud. I can try and find the article explaining this better, it talks about how you can't always go by the color of the trichomes.

But still, those nugs look delicious and I can't wait to see how the others turn out!
