lookin very nice for jfust 73 watts of cfl. ill have to post up when i harvet my ice. im growing one under cfls but i got like 2 85 watters, a 42, and 8 23 watters around one plant. its now in the 5th week of flowering
A micro cfl nl#5 harvest log
- Thread starter growone
- Start date
i'd be interested in how ice under the cfl's turns out - i've seen a pretty wide spectrum of results on ice's potency from 'nice high' to super potent - but i guess that's what we see for most strains - every one's mileage seems to vary
OK, the smaller cola has pretty much dried, bit over 3 grams, should end at 3.
The main cola is still drying, but the heft is still huge. Feels like an oz easy. Has frosted up, and literally shines in bright light. Have to put a pic up before it goes into the jar.
Now for the plant. A lot of bud left there. At this point, I'm going to tweak my harvest guess from 1 1/2 to 2 oz. Guesses are cheap so what the hell. Here's what's left.

ahh, she's not quite that big, will take up all the space though
i was worried about that for a while, thought main cola was going to be a foot, ended up at 6 inches
good job man nice density with cfls .. im also using cfls i got like 3 weeks left
cfl's and auto flower go together real nice, peeked at your grow, things seem to be going well.

real good info ogkush, i've found a few more cases like this where the trics were quite stubborn about changing
i thought it was a cfl thing, now not so sure, maybe just strain
+rep back for helping me make sense of this
The bud has been put into the curing jar, so we'll call it dry at this point. The tally is 15 grams. That is 27% of the wet weight, which is just about where it should be. I though the large one would come out a bit denser. But no complaints, the numbers are what they are.
The smaller bud has been curing for 2 days. The odor is really wild. Very sharp pine smell. A lot like pinesol. There was the usually grassy odor of weed at the start, but a lot of that has gone after only 2 days of cure.
An update on the smoking quality's. After a few more tries, I'd give the trim a 6 for potency, and for quality as well. It's really strong for trim leaf. Was a very skinny joint, so calling 2 puffs 1 puff, the trim is close to 1 hit weed. Taste was not great, and not going to smoke trim any longer than needed.
So, back to my 'roots', and cooked up some oil. The oil was fair, not great. A skill I would need to work on. Oil is a chore, and a mess. So the way to go I think is the vaporizer. Some great home brew plans here. Gonna try the halogen bulb setup. And of course the last pics of the dried bud.

and sometimes if your strain was crossed with multiple strains and one had a little sativa it will show up sometimes or sometime like with the dynamite i had i think for somereason it hit another growth spurt and just grew insanly tall and for insanley long but i did get some one hit quit shit outta that plant one hit i would go to sleep and dynamite already contains one of the highest levels of of thc and cnbd thc is at 27% the shit was bedlook not couchlook
interesting ogkush about that strain, i've found a number of ripening stories where things go a bit differently, but if you get what you want, the wait is worth it
which brings me to the conclusion of this harvest log, did my final cut today
got 75g wet which should come out to around 20g dry, 15 dry grams from main cola and the 1 side branch should give the number of: 35 grams of dry bud
not fantastic, but a good result, got another 10g of bud trim which i didn't include, bud is what we live for, no?
i know many disdain the gram/watt measure, so i will give this as gram/fixture watt - basically the same thing, but is grounds for comparison on how your grow did - this came out to around 0.45 grams per fixture watt - a good result
and so the final pix - many thanks for the many looks, help, tips during the harvest wait!

Nice looking hermie exidis. That's considerably more mature than what I had at 5 weeks. By that pic, you should be harvesting at 8 weeks.
I've just sampled the trim, buds are drying and curing. The trim is pretty good smoke, quite strong. I was shooting for a head effect, and looks like I hit that pretty close. If the bud cures up to where I think, this could be a kind of over whelming smoke.
