GlimmerGrass's Maiden Grow - Crop King Seeds' Early Miss Auto Fem in Coir - 2015

[glimmergrass]

Well, I was out of town for a while on business -- couldn't smoke. I did vape a little bit when I came back, but then I got a bad head cold and had a huge amount of work to do - so I didn't feel like inhaling anything and wanted to keep as clear a head as I could until the work got done.

But I'm done! Woo hoo!

Hey glimmergrass I just got caught up on your journal, & boy it has been a ride for sure ! Your girls look amazing and very very frosty & colorful. Seems like a good strain or better yet a good grower for the buds to look that tasty! When do you plan on starting your next grow? Hopefully immediately after this one. If so I'll be around for the next one's entire show

Hey, thank you so much, Camo420! Great to see you! They're colourful because they're in a cold Canadian bedroom right now, so it's bringing some funky stuff out in them, I think They're not the prettiest flowers or the biggest colas or the frostiest buds, but I am so proud of them and so happy that my first grow is almost done!

I like the strain -- of course, I have nothing to compare it to, but it seemed straightforward, no extreme needs. I have no idea what it will smoke like, but it's a 60/30/10 hybrid of indica/sativa/ruderalis and a cross between Big Bud and White Widow so it should be decent.

I've got a 100 cm x 100 cm (40" x 40") grow tent coming that should be delivered on Tuesday -- so I'm going to start my next grow soon! I'm going to stay with autos, even though I have a tent, just because it removes one whole category of things that can go wrong -- the whole photoperiod/light leaking/hermieing thing

Coming up, HSO Auto Blue Dream, Dinafem Auto Amnesia XXL and Sweet Dark Devil Auto!

Thank you, Camo420 -- I can't wait to test drive it!

Trichome shots today: both from sugar leaves near the top: Definitely getting mostly cloudy -- I looked all over the plant but can't see any amber anywhere yet.

Scylla:

Charybdis:

Looking good! i see a good few bits of amber on scylla!

Do you think the trichomes are amber there? I thought it was the plant material underneath! If the trichomes are going amber then I'm just about done, at least for the start of harvest. I'm going to harvest in stages, I think.

Actually, looking at it again, you're absolutely right!

 

[SweetSue]

I left you a post on my journal, but decided to swing by. You're too close to harvest for traditional Backbuilding, but you have nothing to lose by experimenting with a couple buds, do you Glimmer?

Maybe I'll try it a bit on the lower buds, which I'm going to leave for longer. Thanks, Sue!

 

[Camo420Grow]

Yeah that for sure looks like some amber GG! Have you started flushing yet?

Ya if you look in the picture of scylla you'll notice a somewhat horizontal steak of green roughly about half way down and below that i see quite a few amber

If we are looking at the same thing, I see about 25% amber.

 

[glimmergrass]

I've been flushing for a week, actually. And no nutes for two weeks.

I just noticed that Charybdis is starting to foxtail a bit -- I can't see it on Scylla, but def. on her sister. Cool!

I'm going to get some more photos up today and maybe we can crowd source harvest time here

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

 

[Pigeons420]

Glimmer, in so excited for you!

I can't believe I've been so distant at such an important time!! I was 2 pages back!

I have to agree with everyone else. I see some nice amber on Scylla! You'll be good to harvest her anytime if you've been 2 weeks no nutes and one week flush. I think it's too lAte to try another flush. Cause you'll have to wait another 5 or so days until she's all dried out to harvest, optimally.
I also think it's a bit late to try back building. I just think you're done so if you trim off those buds, that's your smoke your choppin off.

I'm so excited that you get to reap the benefits of your work! That is going to be some great smoke!! I hope you and the hubby enjoy it!!

Lots of love to you and the family!

 

[glimmergrass]

heh heh heh -- we were TOTALLY writing in each others journals at the same time

Okay, then Scylla is ready ...

So I should let her dry out entirely, right, before the chop? And I can take just the ripest buds and leave the others, right? And I should chop her in the morning before the lights come on? I may do it tomorrow morning, then ...

Whew! So close!

 

[Camo420Grow]

Ok questions glimmergrass how do you go about flushing? Just 2-3x the pot size everyday for the whole week of flush?

 

[glimmergrass]

I just did three days of flushing, not a whole week. I put 10 gallons of tap water (2x the pot size) through each plant each day for three days. I should actually have pHd the water, in retrospect, but I'll do that next time. And, again, please keep in mind that I have no idea what I'm doing
