Yeah that's right now with all the information out there you can pull off a great grow if you do your research from forums to utube as my mum always said sharing is caring make life so much easier then just winging it and hoping for the best

it's great that so many people share knowledge is power

Yes i remember in the 90s i could look at a porn mag and get turned on lol now thanks to super fast internet i need videos as photos just don't cut it anymore

LOL

I can't wait for this to be done to see how your yields are.

Thanks Cat...me too! I'm going to have what looks to be a pretty big range in what the yields will be. I will document the rest of the grow very thoroughly.

Day 77 Update - Day 52 Flower

This is a minor update on Dinafem Seeds Critical Cheese.
2 days ago I found what I suspected was a nanner I carefully removed it and now, 2 days later, 3 more popped up. I very carefully removed them but am now pretty sure I should harvest (thanks everyone in the problems forum that helped me out)

The breeder claims this is a 55 to 60 day strain so I suppose this is not too terribly early.


See the carnage of the fan leaf I cut off today? Pretty cool...a flesh wound...lol



That little nanner bastard is below. Found 2 others and removed them.

Dope ass pics. Since you got some good info on the strains you are growing what will be next for 2nd round?

Thanks man...too early to know. There are several that will yield well in a tiny amount of space but if they smoke poorly then they are out.

Which strain do you think is going to yield the most just based on what you are observing at this point? Quality if smoke not taken into effect.

That's a great question and honestly...I don't know!

The critical jack herer and Chronic Thunder each have a top cola that is about 12" long. They seem like they are going to take longer to finish and are not as fat as some of the others.

Many of the other strains have a nice fat top cola but it is only 5 to 7 inches tall. Some of the really plump ones are:
Skunk #1, Northern Lights, Flowerbomb Kush.

Then some are a little longer but not quite as fat such as:
Cheese, Blue Cheese and others.

I'll try and get some more profile shots soon again.
Density is probably going to make or break some of these.

Will be interesting to see, that's for sure.

Day 78 Update - Day 53 Flower

Harvest day for the 1st plant! But it's not the critical cheese. I checked on her all day and not a sign of nanner's so I'm rolling the dice and giving her a few more days.
I made a spreadsheet of all of the strains and their expected finish times and as it turns out, there are a bunch that could finish at the 56 day mark so I had to pull everything out and take the loupe to a lot of plants tonight. One of the G13 Haze's was shootin nanners too...sucks. These were a little different in that they were deeper in the bud and more difficult to see. I decided to rip out what I could see and harvest her. I have two G13 Haze and this one was the 3" pot. Smaller but further along than the other.

Here are the specs on her:

Strain: Barneys Farm Seeds G13 Haze
Flowering Time: 70 to 80 Days
Aroma: Ripe fruits and earthy tones
THC: 21%
CBD: 0.7%

I'm going to have to call bullshit on the flowering time. I know I had to take her early but 17 to 27 days early? Very doubtful. Most of her calyxes were pretty swolen. The trich's I saw appeared to all be clear still but 70 to 80 days? Hopefully the one remaining will answer that.

Total Height: 16.5 inches - The shortest plant in the grow
Top Cola Length: 4 Inches
Total Bud Sites: 3 - Top cola and 2 lower sites.

Before I cut her down


Post-Trim

Middle bud site directly beneath top cola



Top cola


She certainly will not be much of a yielder and I'm bummed that I took her early but that's ok.

And finally, a couple of tent shots:

man that tent shot is a beautiful sight!

I have not trimmed a bud since the mid 90's. Wow is this shit sticky. After looking at other peoples beautifully manicured buds I thought I would give a close trim a try and see how I do. I think I always left too much on. It's a shame that I don't have the gear or knowledge to make hash from the sugar leaves but I'll tell my wife if we run out of duct tape just grab some sugar leaves...lol

Anybody care to guess on the weight of the 1st girl?
She seemed to be only moderately dense so she could dry light but I'm going to guess about 1 pound.

lol...haha...jk. My real guess is 4.5 grams.

Keep all the leaves and put them in the freezer till everything has finished

buy some bubblebags from ebay and make some hash it's really easy full videos on youtube showing you how to do it

Day 79 Update - Day 54 Flower

2 plants came down this morning.
#14 - Strain Hunters Seedbank Seeds Flowerbomb Kush (4" Pot)
#20 - Dinafem Seeds Critical Cheese (3" Pot)

After giving most of the other plants a close look, I don't expect to be harvesting anything else until next week probably.

Yesterday I started feeding the plants at 25% strength. I just decided that I did not want to risk an imbalance by reducing some and not others. So their diet is balanced but just reduced. I'm not sold on flushing so instead I will simply continue to feed but at lower amounts.

I have more than 10 pictures so this will be in a few posts.

First up, some side by sides before and then after trim.
Critical Cheese on the left and Flowerbomb Kush on the right. I ran out of time and so I'll have to go back tonight or tomorrow and trim a little closer.

This plant is really quite pretty and smells lovely. This is the one that I started finding a few nanners on the other day. She has some ambers and a lot of milky trich's so she looked plenty good enough to take down.

That is sex on a stick right there unreal that new camera really dose them justest i am sure they look better in person but it don't get much better then that

its like a hightimes cover

wow, those are some top notch pictures

thanks for this wonderful journal

Day 80 Update - Day 55 Flower

Pretty minor update tonight. The 1st plant that came down was the G13 haze and she was quite small. The outer room is running between 61 and 64 degrees and right around 40% RH. After hanging for 48 hours she is starting to get a little drier than I had hoped. Was hoping the cooler temps would slow down the rate of dry.

At any rate, I'm trying to paper bag wrap to see how she looks in the morning. Nothing new was harvested so 3 down, 23 to go.

Critical Kush on the left and back. These 2 are pretty nice. Headband to the right...she is a big disappointment. Will be a terrible yielder.


Just some groups pictures in the dark out of the tent. There are going to be some real gems with some of these. Some of them really suck too...kind of a 50/50 split.
