My First Journal: OG Kush Photoperiod

[Plant Dad]

I did mine for 36 hr dark, breaks the cycle. I saw something online and 24 versus 36 hours was a big increase in THC, 36 to 48 was a minimal increase

Yeah.... I've seen on youtube and read online too. A lotta Bro Science in growing pot... lol I think I might try but I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Seems like somebody should do actual study like the study about flushing before harvest.

Someone did do the study, it’s in here somewhere...supposedly 36 is the sweet spot, after that it all starts to drop off...it’s all pretty minimal though...

I haven't been able to find a study... Just a few grower with some there opinions....

I wish I bookmarked the results of the test! I will see if I can find it again? I found it months ago when I was in lock down with loads of time on my hands...there wasn’t a huge difference in numbers, but there was a difference in most compounds found in the plant...I seem to recall they tested everything they could test? Maybe I was really high, and imagined it?

I’m sure you’re onto it. I remember the rosenthal book and they advised harvesting in the morning, thc was highest. Or at least I think I do,

It was a water day... Taking a day longer before they need water now.. Loving the colors and smell the girls are giving me.

Absolutely gorgeous.

great work mate , they must be close to harvest now if they ain't drinking as much.
I'd be tempted to harvest your weed at 2 different times so you can feel for yourself difference of harvest times. be careful going for too much amber trichomes, amber is sign of oxidization so you are going to transformed THC to something else(cbn i believe), you'll degrade THC to get mild CBN stone.

***Don't get me wrong going longer harvest will change effect, but falling asleep smoking weed and couch lock are two different things. i believe it's CBD that give couch lock and OG Kush is a high THC plant with little CBD so your weakening THC to gain CBN to get fake couch lock effect. I'd argue you'd be better off growing an weed known for high CBD and couch lock effect than turning a high THC plants into a sleeping pill.

*** again mate just my thoughts with no real research done, best is to do it the way you want and be your own judge on harvest times.

You are a mind reader Brother.... I was just telling my wife I was going to get a really good look at them today... and maybe harvest half. Great minds think alike!!!

Been doing that awhile too. Hardest part for me at that point is keeping it straight in different phases including cure. I get all gerred up and start playing with my tops and then....

 

[Mustang92]

are you going to dry your harvest in tent ? and in earlier pic's looked like you could raise or lower your fans

I'm not sure yet. Just looked at the girls... They're so close. I still see some clear trichomes but i'm also starting to see some amber ones.... I wanted to harvest half when all are cloudy.. Not sure if thats now? wanted to harvest other half with about 25% amber. I might pull two tomorrow. I don't think I'll use tent unless I pull all four at the same time. Yes I can lower Fans.

Todays picks.
Thoughts?

I seriously think after that cures out, 3 weeks or so, it’s going to be an “effin bone crusher “. I can see it hitting hard bout 10 seconds after inhale, beatin the shit out of your chest saying, “let me ooouuuttt”!! Knarly!

What do you think @Inky66 . You think I could get away with hanging a couple up?

didn’t want to go there but since you asked... I would.

I’d pick one that has the most amber and of course do it in the morning.

Thanks buddy.. I needed second opinion... One down. I'll do the other one tomorrow morning then wait for a few more Amber trichomes on the other two.

That’s always a tough call even after all these years. A little sad even for me.

i always 2nd guess myself looking a pic's, i'm never happy to i finally smoke it.

you can quick dry a small bud to sample, it's always fun and helps you respect the curing process more.

you going to make butter with your trim ? your plant looks like it has nice sugar leaf for.
