First ever grow, grow journal.

IcanMJ: Cheers Me neither! Wednesday is chop day i think now

OB: haha cheers, had the test piece last night.. A fantastic smoke, cerebral high, so energetic (obviously because the amber trichs havent kicked in completely yet) the taste was fantastic and even though i quick dried it, it was relatively smooth so it can only get better with proper drying and curing. The taste is like nothing ive ever smoked before and thats saying something as ive been to Amsterdam. Very light fruity flavour to it with a definite weed undertone. Cant wait for the rest now

ello mate. how ya doin ? Puff Puff Pass>>>

Alright cheetah not too bad yourself? Puff Puff hold Pass >>


Quickie update:

Im all over the place at the moment so havent been able to catch up on here as much as id like. Although it seems that the boards have gotten really quiet. My plants are doing fine, the sample smoke i had the other day was out of this world for flavour, and the high was so energetic i ended up dancing like an idiot most the night which isnt like me at all. Anyway I have been looking at the girls closely and although there are amber trichs on both plants it is nowhere near 50/50 more like 5/95 at the moment which is a shame. It will be ten weeks tomorrow and the suggested flowering time is ten weeks or eleven for added flavour.
I have a festival on the 1st so if i were to harvest on Wednesday i should have some dry to take with, thats the plan anyway. Im a bit gutted though as obviously i wanted to get a 50/50 amber trich ratio. So what im going to do is Harvest one of the girls on Wednesday and then ride the other out all the way as long as that takes. At the moment im thinking of chopping Mary on Wednesday and leaving Jane (the one without the fimming) right until the end. That way i can have two jars of smoke, one energetic high and hopefully the other a bit more stoney..

As far as yield is concerned i'll be surprised if i get a quarter per plant dry... Bit of a shame really but its my fault for leaving them for three weeks and taking on such a fragile strain on my first grow. The best thing out of this grow will be everything i have learnt so my next grow should be spot on . Oh and im looking at places in London next week so i may have an idea of where i'll be living (and if its a growable place lol)

I'll try get some photos up later, though there isnt much change currently. Im going to start setting up my dry box.

Peace!

London????? good fucking luck living there dude!! lmao
i'd hate it!!!lol

haha tell me about it... I was born there but moved away. Its where the job takes me, and the money in the long run will hopefully mean a retirement back somewhere much quieter with plenty of land and rooms for my "hobbies" haha

i'm a lil dizzy from my alcohol marathon started friday night and black me out yesterday arround 20:00 o'clock shiiiit

Cheetah: Hahaha thats the way I had a heavy on Sat night and still recovering. Hows your last crop curing dude? Anybetter?

I think you will yeild more than a quarter- thats what i expected off my early harvested plant, now in a jar- and i got 3/4 of an ounce- so i wouldnt worry- you may be pleasantly surprised- and either way thats great that you grew something you hadnt tried in all your years of smoking- thats a huge reward in and of itself- that and the knowledge- good shit man good shit.

Cant wait to see the new grow and setup in london that will be great!
Ob

Loving the new avator OB haha. Yeah hope its more, id rather under guess than over guess lol Only time will tell.... Hopefully a load more trichs turn amber before i chop!! Tempted to feed them once more with a tiny bit of molasses just to add a little kick to growth and perhaps flavour....

DO IT! They love that shit- and the sweetness mmmm the sweetness...

Yeah man, i have been putting two tablespoons of molasass in every other watering since week two of veg. The trimmings i take are sweet, and have a lemon scent, not to mention the plant seems to apreciate the values of it. Lots of potassium and iron and a few other things to stimulate growth naturally.

Cheers guys i'll do it straight away then I used Molasses for the last half of the flowering but stopped for flushing. Every little helps lol

Looking good TGP.
Yeah the molasses is fine even during the flush, go for it, you'll like it. I just got done harvesting my last 3 Lowryder#2's and they got a Tbl of molasses per gallon every watering.
I'd have to guess you'll get closer to an ounce rather than a quarter.

Ah congrats my friend! You'l have to let me know how they smoke!! I wish id kept it in the mix the whole time now! When i first started to use them i noticed a difference almost instantly, the following few days they got really fat and crystal development was fantastic. My next grow will be miles better than this one with all this knowledge i've gained, i just hope i manage to do my next grow soon, it may be years before i can depending on where i move I'd love to have an ounce from these girls Heres to hoping! Thanks for stopping by again mate! I'll be checking out the harvest pics!

Quick update, sorry no photos again guys my cameras being a fool...

Day 123 - 71 days flowering

Having just inspected the trichs again i am noticing more and more amber trichs on Mary. This is great as i am chopping her tomorrow evening. I am going to place her in a separate area tonight which is dark until i chop her. I read somewhere that leaving them in dark for 48 hours before chop can increase resin, well this is the best i can do in this short time schedule.

Im confident to say that if i had the time i could easily let both girls go on for another week possibly two. Today is ten weeks and one day. My plan is to chop Mary tomorrow and then ride Jane out for as long as she needs This could be another 4 days or another 14 who knows. Her main cola is getting too big for her sideways stem and is weighing it down lol i may prop it up a bit.

I added molasses to both girls this morning, wont have much effect on Mary before i chop her but hopefully it'l help resin production and fatten Jane out a bit. Im excited about cutting just hope i get an alright yield and nothing goes wrong I cant believe how many of those black flies are around im definitely going to cover my top soil in an inch of sand for my next grow.

No matter what my camera is acting like i will try my best to fully document the chopping of Mary tomorrow for all of you

Theyre so sticky its unbelievable, like BigGuytok'n i had loads on my fingers and licked it and now my tongues all buzzy lol

I think thats it, hope everyone else is great and grows are doing well!

Peace

enjoy the chopping bro. awaiting ur porn lol

Will do cant wait!


I forgot to add this to the update. Some of the lower down buds are tiny and hardly developed on some branches so i may leave them on the plant and see if they develop further with more light etc. I'll see how i feel tomorrow lol. I'll be getting a wet weight tomorrow as well. Chop will be around 8/9 oclock here in the UK, dunno what time that is in the states sorry.

so that'll be 8/9 here aswell then lol.
will be thinking of your sticky fingers at that time then.
eeeuuugghhhh soz bro...just realised how utterly bent that sounded lol
wasn't meant to lmao

lmfao hahaha legend
