Hey everyone, long time no see! All of my gals have been busy!!

I’m 7 weeks into flowering...the nursery said 9 weeks on average so I’m nearing the finish line I believe! I’m feeding them about every other day at this point, using earth juice big 5 nutrient set.I plan to feed through this week, then 2 rounds of plain h20 before I let them dry out preharvest! I’m hoping to get 3 ounces, not huge but I’m happy to get anything

Things in the outdoor garden are starting to pick up steam too!

We’re supposed to be getting a warm dry fall, so I’m hoping to harvest right before Halloween! Fingers crossed

And last but not least, my next generation is coming along! The strawberry shortcake that I cloned is looking great

I’m pretty stoked honestly. It didn’t have a ton of roots when I planted her, it was out of frustration at my lack of cloning success but to my surprise, this one and another little one pulled through! 3 weeks later, she’s my best looking in the tent! I’m trying some LST with the other

just curious about the technique and thought she was a good candidate!

My two rescues are sloooowly coming along...after I tried to kill them, I believe
After a up potting and getting my feeding regime dialed in, they are starting to bounce...I hope

The new growth is promising...all of these are going to stay in here at least another month before moving into the flowering tent...plenty of time to build up a healthy root system! Well that’s all for now, good night everyone.

They are really getting going!

Thanks! Starting to get excited! I have a test bud hang drying (dropped my thermometer and took out a lower branch ) I’m curious to give it a taste in a few days!

Quick pic update

In a week and a half, they’ll be at 9 weeks and I’m chopping. My timeline is limited by two factors. I want to get this grow wrapped up and in jars with at least two weeks before the outdoor madness begins ( when are 3 huge bushes too many? When you get to solo trim ALL OF IT !! Totally worth it though!) secondly, my main patient has enough oil to last 1 month barring a Trigeminal neuralgia flare. So I best get cracking! One more feeding, then pure H20 for a week...then it’s party time!!!

Good morning fine people of 420! How does today find you? Well, I’m staring down the barrel of my first indoor harvest and I couldn’t be more excited!

They sit at day 60 today. I’m anticipating some time between the 21st and the 28th...though I’m not looking for complete couch lock with this round, so about the 10-15% amber mark I’m taking the plunge!

I’ll post some tricomes pictures midweek when I check them, until then TTFN!

 

[TheStonyRoller]

Good morning! I’m getting soooo close
Last night, I got a head start and harvested my lower fluff buds. Pretty much everything that didn’t make it above the screen. Probably should have done that 6/7 weeks ago I was pleasant surprised by how much I got! I didn’t do a wet weight, but I’d be comfortable estimating an ounce and a half onceit’s dried and cured. Now today is fresh frozen hash day, Followed by the maiden voyage of my Magic Butter Machine!!! Here’s some pictures of the colas still ripening and some of the better bud shots

Hey there Stoney,
Are you thinking Friday due to the rain coming in this weekend?

Hey there Stoney,
Are you thinking Friday due to the rain coming in this weekend?

Hello! My indoor comes down Friday at the latest. Outside, I’m hoping to batten down the hatches through this one (not predicting a lot of rainfall yet...) I’ve got the 19th circled and I’m hoping to make it to it. I need at least 2 more weeks to get a decently ripened harvest! How are things looking in your garden?

 

[Terried]

Good. Since this is my first real harvest, I’m stressing the days. This is like having a baby! Is she gonna be ok? Is there pests? Have I used too much of the nutrients? Are they gonna get taken outside alone at night ? Most importantly, are they gonna taste and feel good. Definitely stressing like a new mom!

I know ALL those fears! You’re looking a little further ahead than I am, couple more weeks and you should be golden! If you get too excited, you can harvest the lower airy buds and let the colas ripen another week or so. Looking great

What a great idea-I’m sure those lower buds will quiet those inner voice screaming HARVEST HARVEST....

 

[TheStonyRoller]

Well my first harvest is hanging! I made the cut and washed them last night, and will hopefully be jarring them in a week here are the last pictures from right before I chopped...

Here is prewash

And post wash

I’m pretty happy with how they came out! Can’t wait to get them in jars and start that sloooow cure!
Hope everyone has a great day too!

 

[TheStonyRoller]

Well the time on the outdoor garden is rapidly approaching!

Taking down two today and three next Monday!

 

[TheStonyRoller]

Well...that was...hard! I ended up harvesting all 5 and processed them solo in 24 hours when I arrived, I could smell the garden down the block...in the middle of the day! So I packed this entire garden into my crown Vic (former cruiser)

Then I drove 45 minutes home. Thus began the longest trim jail sentence I have ever spent. I began trimming at 5:00...I finished at 5:58 the following day I slept 2 hours from 5am (my 24hr awake Mark) and tried to take a ten minute break every hour or so,but beyond that I was trimming.

I have never seen so much weed in all my life. I got a bit delirious at times and likely drank far more Mountain Dew than any human should, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I have about 4 maybe even 5 lbs drying at the moment. I had to buy another rack!

I did half of it by hand and half by spin trimmer (best toy I ever bought!)

I filled it to an inch from the top by the time I was done!

All in all it was a hard but worthwhile time endeavor! I’ll post a final weight on everything and call this journal complete!

Well my first foray into Cannabis cultivation has come full circle! I have been smoking the fruits of my labor for about a week now, and it’s a fantastic feeling my total yield was just under 45 ounces. That’s from 2 indoor GG#4 3 outdoor sativa bushes, 1 strawberry shortcake and an itty bitty outdoor tangie. I’m very satisfied with the yield, and the quality is awesome even this early into the cure. I learned a staggering amount in both grows and I’m excited to start again! But I think we can call this journal COMPLETE!
