Cheetah: Haha wish i could join you!!!

GB: Yeah i know the "Credit crunch" is a bit of a joke at the moment which certainly aint helping my situation, nor yours... As for the kids, as you say its a good thing in a way. Rather learn this now than later on. You and i are both going through life lessons at the moment, at least they get theirs early on!

I'll check your op now man! Been wondering off this site how your girls have been! Thanks for stopping by again mate!!

First of all i want to say im so sorry about the poor ending to this journal. So much shit has happened i have been busy constantly, still am infact. Anyway heres my update.

Update Day 145 from start would be day 93 Flowering

Mary has been sampled and is still in her jar. I had another proper session on her last Thursday after harvesting Jane. It was with my mates that i went to Amsterdam with. We were all stunned at how amazing the smoke was. Seriously its the best smoke i have ever had and im not being biased because its my own grow. To be honest i thought the smoke would turn out shite due to all the mishaps.. The head high is fantastic. When it first hits you its amazing. You feel on top of the world with a rush of energy, an amazing cerebral high. After about half an hour/ 45 minutes the stone kicks in and my god me an my mates were flat out watching cheech and chong unable to move lmao To be fair we did over indulge in Mary but we couldnt help it haha. Heres some photos of whats left of her in the jar:






I harvested my second plant Jane now last Thursday. I had my doubts about her yield compared to Mary. If you remember i didnt fim Jane at all. Anyway she had an extra two weeks flowering. And despite this her trichs still were predominantly cloudy. Hardly any were amber. I feel if i had the time and patience i could keep her going for a full 14/15+ weeks. However judging by the smoke i got off of Mary i should be in for a treat with this girl. I imagine Jane will give a more stoney effect than Mary.

When cutting Jane the immediate thing i noticed was how much more she stank than Mary. Also resin production was much greater than that of Mary as my fingers were sticky instantly (Though Mary was sticky as hell lol). The other thing i noticed is her buds were denser than Mary's. Anyway heres the pictures of the harvest. Sorry again theyre poor quality as they were taken on my phone, my main camera is bust.

This is half the tip of her main stem:


Same tip with some of the buds in the background:


Part way through filling the dry box:


Dito:


Anyway i placed the fan by the box and they dried really well. I need to buy another jar now for her. Label both of them so i can compare. Cant wait to see the results out of Jane. As i said before she seems much denser and the smell is so potent.

As for yield it was weird.. As i said before i was expecting much less. However i actually yield 39.8 from her wet.. I mean thats almost Exactly the same as Mary lol. Over al the pile of weed at the end looked smaller than Mary's but its obviously denser. So it'l be interesting to see what the dry weight will be. In fact i may go and look now.

Thanks for you patience guys! I guess this is pretty much the end of this journal When i get around to it i'll do a summary lol As for my next grow i dont know what im doing yet. My situation next year hasnt settled at all so it all depends on where im living. Fingers crossed!!!!!

Peace - Puff Puff Pass >>>>>>

Oh yeah..... How does the little woman like the "peppers" that you grew? Or have you told her?

Oh shit yeah i totally forgot to tell you guys about that! haha basically i headed down to the local farmers market and managed to find four dodgy looking peppers. They were disgusting. The guy gave me the weirdest look ever, which i dont blame him for. Anyway i took them home and stabbed one with a pencil and let it go a bit off so i could claim some bug got into them and these were the only "respectable" ones left.

So i approach the misses and show her the peppers telling her that im really sorry this is all that came of all of that effort. She laughed at me and took me into our room where she had a couple of spliffs of my green in the drawer. She found out when i was away and has been waiting ever since to see how long i could keep it up... Thank christ she was fine with it haha quite funny when i look back at it. Annoying though as i could have grown more lol

We ate the peppers and sampled my green Turned out to be a really good night

Thanks for stopping by mate! Really appreciate it!
