The buds are not that dense they are somewhat light. Might be because it's a sativa cross. Although they are not super dense they are nice and firm and not really fluffy especially the top buds.
The first plant I trimmed the buds have been curing for 2 weeks. The second plant de buds have been curing in jars for just a few days. I am not starting to manicure the 3rd plant

Made some Hash with the bubble bags ... Damn good hash !! so much better than your regular dealer bough Hash.
I made this using a 4 bag system
220 micron -- catches all the plant material
160 micron -- give me a small amount of hash , gritty and very small quantity
73 micron -- gave me the most amount very nice !!!
45 micron -- gave me a smaller amount but is smooth like butter
I ran the mix of water and ice through the bags twice.
I retrieved all the trichromes and I let them dry for about a week. That gave me pucks of gold material (kief). I pressed them in wax paper using a Iron and Ironing board. It turned the kief into a malleable, soft, dark brown and chocolaty pieces of hash. It actually kinda smell like chocolate. I'm pretty sure this is the best hash i've ever smoke. The high is heady and cerebral and a little stimulating, the smoke is extremely smooth !!! It gave me around 5g total.
below are the different grades.

It's been quite a journey. I have learned so much during the whole process. Things that I will apply to next grow but also things that apply to general gardening and plant biology. I have extremely enjoyed this experience. I would like to thank everyone that came and pitched in on my journal . This forum helped me in so many ways and helped me document my grow and I will use this information has a baseline for my next grow. I will change a few things next grow so here is my top 10 lessons I have learned !
1. Soil with 0-0-0 is not good for seedlings (plants were strugling, stalled and yellowing. Supermax B1 fixed them)
2. Ionic nutrients do not have enough P in the bloom solution( for my strain at least). Would not grow again with the ionic bloom nutes.
3. Ionic nutes showed micro nutrients deficiency in grow stage. multivitamins fixed the problem.
4. need a carbon filter. Whole house smelled like weed most of the time
5. Watch for nutes burn. burned the plants trying to solve some deficiency.
6. Pot size too small , increase size of pot to at least 3 gal
7. Molasses seem to attract sprintails insect. when i stop the molasses they went away.
8. Don't judge ripeness by pistil colour only. Harvested 1 plant a little too soon. Use microscope to inspect trichromes
9. 1 Light can emit a lot of heat and heat a whole room. Hard to keep temp lower than 80 without proper ventilation
10. Increase ventilation
and last words ... Round #2 will be an outdoor grow for the summer. Strains i'm looking at are Early pearl and Early Girl
and again thanks to everyone for reading and pitching in !!
This journal can now be moved to the completed section !! How do I move it there ??
