Next grow...I will. V man. Always up for new adventures and new knowledge. The path is continual.

I am going to be doing the Anti-Snake Oil Grow. Powders versus "The Recipe". I have a bunch of beans from an unknown breeder to me. Okie Boy? Anyone heard of them here on the islands? No too hopeful, but they will work for side by side. its called Blender and I stopped counting the "x" between strain names. Probably just bag seed. But hey, they're free right.

@RM3 . Think he can explain. Not flushing for salt removal. The boiling water kills the root zone slowly and jump starts the fermentation curing phase

I'm using Fox Farms ocean/forest with Silica, CalMag, GH Micro, Grow, KoolBloom and Molasses. The pistils are about 50/50 white/amber now. This pic is a few days ago. Last I looked the tricomes were still clear.View attachment 3757361

I think you have more than two weeks from the time of that picture. If you can, put up another pic in about a week and we can get a better idea when you should chop.

Will do. I'm not quite at 50% brown pistils. Oh, but they're still swelling nicely.

I'm off island the middle of October. Do you think I can be done with drying/curing by then? In other words, will I be at a point where I can leave them in jars for 2 weeks by the middle of October?

Depending on what length flower time is on that, you likely won't be done curing, but you should be dry by then I would think. Good enough to seal the jars up anyway

I noted the first pistils in mid-June. That would make it at about 9 weeks.

I got alot of rain yesterday. I moved them under an umbrella to keep most of the water off. Now they're back out in the sun. Thankfully the trade winds help with pretty constant air circulation.

One plant has now got a starting growth of spider mites. Been spraying with a 20% milk in water solution.

Were those first pistils in mid June only preflowers though because that doesnt look like its been full flowering for 9 weeks? Not sure what you think milk solution is going to do for mites, thats for PM. Better make sure those mites arent gaining on you. I use a mixture of garlic, cayenne pepper, & water spray for mites.

Dang mang! That top pic is super crusty. You are doing really good, first grow or not. Those girls are looking awesome. I'm very impressed for this being your first grow. Keep doing what you're doing and hopefully you don't screw up the dry and cure because that would be a shame. Dry and curing can take some practice too so don't feel bad if you don't get it perfect.

Mahalo for the kind words. Probably like most growers I cheated and pulled a few popcorn buds off a lower branch that wasn't contributing to the colas. Hung 'em up 4 days and had a coupla tastes with my one hitter nail. Fairly smooth and a nice cerebral high that lasted a few hours. Maybe if I smoked a bone of the top bud once cured it would steal my face. We'll see. BTW luckily I'm a lightweight. Smoked Mexican on the mainland for 20 years but didn't smoke when I moved here 28 years ago. It doesn't take much. A coupla more weeks, a coupla more weeks. Ever had spider mites in late flower? My Bingo Pajamas is gettin' 'em. The Jack the Ripper has been fairly pest free 'cept for some leaf miners during veg.
