It Begins!!!

You're in a sticky-wicket. These people "have something" over you; in that they can 'drop-a-dime" (call authorities) on you if u get too rough with them. Word of mouth might also be spreading - even as we speak - and if certain people didn't care enough about you to prevent the break-in, i doubt they will be more inclined to protect you from cops, administrators, etc.
My point-of-view is never let anyone in on what you're doing. It gives "them" too much power over you.

HARVEST​

DAY 100
71 DAYS FLOWERING

Well it's finally over folks

With the help of my crack team of coalition forces, the plant has been guarded, pulled, trimmed and is officially harvested!

Most of the hairs were still immature, but I felt it had to be done anyways.

Here is the plant, still with ties, hanging upside-down.


Afterwards the leaves/shake were trimmed and saved to make some canna-butter.


The big cola is on the right.

These are the fruits of the last 100 days. The buds have now been relocated to a safe, undisclosed location.

Happy New Years

Any idea how much you ended up with? Is it a good smoke?

Happy New Year.

Oh, the plan is:
- to dry for a few days by hanging
- finish drying in paper bags for a few more days
- transfer to jars for curing

I have not smoked any that have been properly dried... Yet!

The wet buds have a lite skunky pungent odor. The high is a modestly cerebral energeticness with little body-buzz.

dejm1, I have no idea how much was harvested. I don't even have a scale. Probably I'll deal with that in a few weeks when the drying and curing is completed. My guess would be somewhere is the 3oz range, which sounds fine with me!

For a first-timer, growing one plant (the runt of the bunch at that) and dealing with all the drama that goes with it, 3 ounces really makes up for it!

If you have 3 oz wet weight you must divide that by 5 to get your finished dry-product weight.

Also the 'high' off undried or quick-dried bud in no way compares to properly dried bud. The quality difference is literally astronomical.

Congrat's on your first successful harvest!

wow i just read this entire journal and its really impressive..nice job

Thanks Spittn

As long as my journal is bumped up top (where it belongs w00t w00t )...



I dried out 3oz as expected. The high is still very heady, wow I just realized I've been smoking for over 30 days straight

I have to stop for awhile so I can build up the energy to Grow again... Laundry... Groceries... Homework...

I read this beautiful story. It had its ups and downs with it. Wow room mates stealing from each other thats ridiculous. Thats why I grow with my roommate who Ive known since hghschool. He has his plants and I have mine.

Peace

I've got a partner on my other grow. Known the geezer 15 years. It's great when you're in your 30's, I now have a selection of people that I could all-but trust with my life.

Anyway verve', the boards are missing you. It's time to get growing again. Maybe you could go hydro', I've got a hydro' grow and a deep water culture (just one plant dwc). It's certainly more exciting than soil. Cleaner too.

Epic. Just epic. What a story!

THANKS MARYJANE!

Well, due to popular demand I will begin the new grow shortly. It will be a MEGAMIX

I also got a new 6 megapixel camera to enhance your viewing experience.
I am sticking with soil for now, although hydro looks like a lot of fun. My grow will be assisted by Fox Farm soils and nutrients and another little gadget that for now will remain a secret - I promise you will all love it

just read your journal amazing grow for first time good job.im growing for first time and i hope i get results like u im 14 days into flowering

i just bought some 44 seeds, and i just read the whole thread. good stuff. do you know what the final weigh was? thanks!

i am currently growing some top 44 in a aerogarden pro..how do u think this will turn out? also my sprouts are about 2 weeks old and 1 of them has a couple of brownish yellow spots and isnt growing as fast....is it because of nutes?
