That's what this place is for. Helping out any way we can. You da man!

No need to rehash...I'll summarize:

12 Papaya under 1200w in DIY areotubs. Straight from cloner to 12/12. 52 days in to flower and they're ready! HUGE colas.....about 2' tall. Greasy, smelly, potent. Can't estimate weight yet until I harvest but maybe between 1-1 1/2 lb? We'll see

Hey Cali...none have been lollipopped. I go straight from my cloner to my 12/12 flower area when they're about 6" tall. I keep the lights up to encourage a little stretch. Once they get to about 18" (and are already showing buds) I move them out from underneath the 400w and put them under (2) 600s.

Just keep an eye on the post. I'll have pics soon and a few weeks later I'll post the yield.

Oh ok! thanks!

OK people...Harvest is here!

Pics below:


The 2 tubs prior to harvest.

Colas in one tub

2 buckets of trim for bubble hash. Closest bucket is cola leaves and other is popcorn buds.

Bud Shot 1 (poor quality pic)

Bud Shot 2 (poor quality pic)

Bud dryer (basic desogn courtesy of Al B Fuct) with smaller buds. Still perfecting temp control so when I get it perfect the bigger colas will go in to the dryer too. For now they're hanging.

About 30 big colas

Expected yield? Guesstimate of 1.25lb when dry and about 10-15 grams of bubble hash.

I will post final results when dry.

Thanks to all who followed my journal. Loud, hothouse, FDD....you guys along with many others make this place a fun stop!

well hell!!!!! I forget how long did you flush for?? Im jelous, not so much for the bud but for the fact that the work is basicly done!! very nice

I flushed for a little more than a week. You ought to be jealous that the work is done. It took 3 of us 8 hrs! Phew....I'm glad it's done too.

I bet~! how long will the bud stay in the dryer?

Probably 3-4 days but some of those colas are so big that I'll need to dry a few, pop them in jars to cure and reload the dryer a few times.

Hey hothouse.....I should have pics of the Bubble hash for you tomorrow.

Hell yea!!

Thanks Hatch. I'll post some better bud shots tomorrow. The shots I put in the harvest thread didn't do them justice.

I think I'm gonna go smoke some of the shit I scraped off my scissors after all the manicuring.

Some budporn.

Hothouse....the last pic is for you. 1/2 way to bubble hash. Trichs settled at the bottom of my ice tea pitcher.

DIY bud dryer with 4 drying racks ready for the test drive.

I love what i see! Great buds, awesome dryer! I hope you start another journal or continue this one soon!

Thanks Doc....A few more posts in this journal with bubble hash pictures and actual yield.

I have 10 more babies 2 weeks in to flower (and 3 Moms almost ready for cuttings) which I'll take in a week or two. I want a perpetual harvest but don't really have the room for Mom, Veg, Clone and Flower areas. SO.....using 3 different areas (Mom, Clone, FLower), rather than 4, I can harvest about every month and a half. Each grow is almost identical so a new journal may not be needed.........just pics in the last few weeks.

Sounds good boss! Keep producing that bomb!
