Or might leave it all spread out on newspaper overnight tonight to give it that final crispiness :D cant tell how much I yielded but I have two huge jars full plus id say a bit less than half oz of popcorn buds mixed in with my trimmings

Looking good. I wouldn't jar anything damp though.

is anyone here from the south island, just trying to figure a few things out. for example we are planning on driving haast pass and lindis pass in august, do you think we will need to hire a 4wd or will a 2wd with chains do the trick? black ice sounds like some scary shit
2wd is allgood aussie, haast and lindis passes are all sealed roads. just take it easy on some of them corners bloody Asian drivers seem to go round them in the middle of the road lol. will only need 4wd if youre planning on going off road somewhere. 2wd will get you down almost every public gravel road. august can be a colder month with a bit of ice just cruise and you should be algood.

p.s your plants are looking mean as.

What the fuck happened to this site? damn it sucks cause half the threads gone and probably most our pics too :(. RIU is out of it now, I've just been using ICmag while this was down.

Hows everyone's plants anyway? lol can't believe we broke april temp records 2 days in a row, 28 one day and 28.5 the next. weirdest season I've ever had. Malawi has actual buds now and the Panama have come along quite a bit. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=272879&page=8 latest pics down the bottom of the page

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=281707 for Panama

Those cookies sound awesome JTW how do they taste?.

I shot a hind and a 10 pointer stag in the Ruahines.
Went into the whirinaki and no deer sign at all, 1080'd the whole area the cunts.

They had too many problems with the software that ran the site so they had to change from vbulletin to xenforo.
They only had a few days to work on the site theme and transfer everything to get it back online which i think
they're still working on, they also moved to a new server so hopefully this site won't go down so often like it used to.

you sure half the threads gone? theres more posts per page now perhaps that's why it seems smaller?

Hey CK were they roaring well? was fricken hot down here they stopped for a couple days then cranked up when it rained. was disappointed only shitty reds in the block we were after a wap. smacked an 8pt red was gonna video him but he came in very quick didn't even have a chance to get the camera out, crazy steep in there, got a nail through my foot at the hut wasn't a fun time ended up coming out 4 days early. you on fishnhunt?

grow wise we got hammered with rain last weekend, the wwxbb were massive and were about 2 weeks off harvest but they couldn't handle the added water weight even with the 20 odd stakes I had tied them too. was sad to go for a looksee and broken branches everywhere. kept all the tops and just hashed the rest, I didn't have a few days to sit there and trim lol.

the rest are 10-14 days off as long as the mould dosent get into them. the green love potion looks unreal 2.5-3 ft of solid nugs on each branch and bright pink/red pistils looks outve it and smells so yummy cant wait to try it.

Hey everyone and CK! Welcome back. Yeah there defiantly is posts missing luckily i have my plant pictures backed up. Weird as weather ae we got a 28 last week which is very weird for this time of year. Weather was almost perfect for my plant to finish in down here, nice sun and temps with not to much rain. But all of a sudden this week and for the next couple of weeks its just gone reeeeeeeal crap. Algood over night temps like 13 and shit but yea way to wet to keep my plant going so i just stuck to my harvest date of the 7th of April.

Had a tiny bit of bud rot on one of the small buds but luckily I saved most of the bud on that stem. Stopped feeding it and gave it straight water a week before harvest to. Got it all drying in the garage now but its taking its time to dry with this weather. Minimal yields But I think this comes down to a few reasons like, shitty season, hermie also the plant had to put quite a bit of work into producing seeds and male pollen sacks so that wouldn't of helped but algood. Got lots of trim to, anyone know what I should do with it? Got some really nice purples and reds towards the end :mrgreen: Ill upload some pictures of the plant from a week ago and some recent harvest pictures! This new roll it up is gonna take some time to get used to but Im getting the hang of it and they're still updating it I think.
Seems to be running much smoother and I like the uploading pictures thing now :)

Amazing how well rooted and hard it was tp pull the plant out of the ground it was next to impossible! The composted soil looked beautiful and nicely mulched up and used aswell.
Anyway Im goign to a tempt to upload the one week till harvest pictures and then the harvest pictures.

Oh yea the trichomes came out cloudy with some still clear and very few amber ones haha
CK I just checked out your plant man theyre looking mad, th Panama look frosty as and the Malawi looks like its taken of now!

Don't know, haven't looked through the thread. Hopefully they restore it if it is missing.

They roared real good on the 25th-28/29 morning and shut up for the next 3 nights, ended up getting a 10pt stag after missing a pretty freakin sizable 10 and a shitty 8. We were glassing up above our camp and saw 8 or so deer and that good 10 so we thought we'd get back up and get him the next morning, get back down to camp and then my dad was sitting by a rock 5-10 meters away and says "look a hind and a yearling" and I walked over and they were looking at us but we were still enough not to spook them, then dads like "fuck a stag behind them" and we didn't have the gun so he quickly went back to get it and gave it to me, by that time he was 80 or so meters away - I could only see 1/3 of him through some toi toi/tee tree shit and looked back at us so I was like oh well may aswell have a rushed shot and missed him, he kind of just trotted across the river and I seen his mass head and it was the bloody same one way up the hill 10 minutes ago! - they could have walked 5 m away from us behind our camp and we wouldn't have known lol!. Next morning I missed another mongrel shot off my dads back but it was a shitty bush stag anyway with only 6 or 8 points so I wasn't too stressed but was still kinda down missing 2 in the space of 12 hours which I'm sure you know the feeling lol. Later that afternoon we headed back to our basecamp up top and ended up roaring in another Ruanhine bushy but has nice even points with nice bey tines of good size, not big but a nice compact 10 and pretty good for a Ruahine bushy. It was shot in nice tight native which is more of my style anyway, seen him coming in from the left and only had one space to shoot him and he was still walking forward so the bullet hit right behind the front shoulder and he kind of half trotted/walked and dropped 20m away.
after the 28th it got way too hot mate, barely a dew up in the mountains for god sakes!.
Seen around 40 deer on a 6 night trip, only rained the first night and the rest of the trip was stinking hot days with barely any wind. Strange for the ruahines.

Oh well there's my ramble anyway, I could right you another 2-3 paragraphs from the amount of stuff that happened ha.
A stag is a stag at the end of the day though I guess, went into upper whirinaki on monday night to see one pile of deer shit,no prints and a distant lazy moan once - 1080'ing cunts.
Sucks about your foot man, sounds nasty and even worse cutting the trip short but at least you got one which not everyone can say especially this year. I'm gonna go back down there 3rd week of may to hopefully get a good bloodlined stag, those escapee wap hybrids still spread their good genetics through some of the area. Heard of someone shooting a couple 14's and a 16 out of there. I just joined up to the NZ hunting and shooting site, what's the best one to be on?


I'm surprised a big bud widow survived that long with the rain, your plants sounds awesome with pink pistils and long as buds. What's the genetics in the GLP? sounds exactly like the Panama with the same harvest date too. Probably harvest the first one in 10 days and the rest a week or more after that if the mould stays away which it should being a pure sati. Shit the malawis finally have actual buds now, 2 months more should seal the deal.

Cheers for that, I was getting pissed off at my computer for nothing then lol. All it came up with is that database error message so I assumed it was me. Yeah it should work more smoothly now, it was terrible before but I sure don't like this new one after being on here for 2 years of the same layout.

Hey man good to be back. Most out of it weather, we've had 26,28,28.5,25 in the last 4 days. Some record breaking stuff 2 days in a row
although the weather is shit at the moment there's still enough light seeping through the clouds to move my plants further along. We're getting 17-20 overnight temps!. Looks like you harvested bang on before the weather turned so that's good that you din't have rot loses.

Your plant looks beautiful at the end of harvest, I've never actually had plant turned fully purple/red like that before.
The very lower bud of one of the Panama had some purple leaves starting, did you see that?. Being hermie would have taken a lot of focus out of the female production too. Make some cookies out of it I reckon, make it strong and get blasted like JTW lol.
Yeah the new RIU is shit in layout but algood in speed. Sucks that I lost all my photos in the album and didn't really back them up cause I lost them all by accident.

Yeah sativas root real well outside and dig deep with their roots, especially Malawi so I guess that's why it has such good drought resistance. I might leave my plant stems rooted with a few leaves to see if it will reveg lol.

Mostly cloudy is good enough bro, nice up high to it.
I was surprised at how much the Malawi's had kicked their ass into gear haha, must be the shorter light hours and good temps. 2 more months of flowering!, far longer than I've ever taken a plant. Panama should be ready in 2 weeks, hope to get some more purple happening.
