Pulled the Chance card when I ordered the sub kit... wasn't sure it was paying off at first as there were some issues getting the shipment out but they are making up for it by giving me the new model instead which is a +$300 value. Fuckin cashing in on that. Getting a $780 model for 480 thanks to random snafu is definitely a win on the chance card draw. Already glad I decided on the sub and I don't even have it yet, heh.

I will definitely be putting up some opinions on it, as I found most of the reviews I read missed some points that I consider important, like how the air flow works with the restriction of the atomizer... not sure I get that yet... it doesn't look super tight when they show people hit it but he describes a pretty narrow air path.

First hanger:






Second hanger:





There was a third hanger but I didn't fill it out and it was just small buds so I didn't bother shooting it. Few other smallies on a dry rack below... and some to test in the dehydrator...


Two down, four to go... shifted the LED angle so that it hits the central area of the remaining plants. Takes some of the seriously UMPHy area off those beautiful Nor'Easter towers, but it's providing more direct illumination of the remaining plants so I think it's worth it. I also popped the Diesel in the middle-front to catch the opposite side of the LED's outer glow.
Congrats on the harvest. Looks real nice

Thanks mang... been enjoying the C99 while I wait for K1 to dry! Still pining over the two new strains in the bunch though... I've smoked but haven't grown the nor'easter strain in the middle that produced those luscious towers in the middle. They are calling my name in all their Christmas-Tree glory. These things are so perfectly Christmas Tree esque that I will probably need to try to set them on a dark background and take a christmas card pic. I'm sitting on my hands trying not to harvest them... those trees are rock hard for about 6 inches down, but the trichomes still look clear to some degree. Really hard to find ambers if they are there. My eyes kind of suck and my hands kind of shake though. The hairs on top are finally starting to pull in so I'm keeping an open mind.

and the diesel will be pretty awesome I'm sure but that might be a spell still. I'm gonna figure a way to get it more underneath the LED once the others have been chopped back. I'm sure there's immature buds underneath everything else just like there was in the sections I already cut down so I'll be leaving the whole thing a couple more weeks while the diesel finishes and those underbuds ripen a little more.

High on scissor hash... just finished trimming Kolossus 1. Got a total of 53 grams this time. Pretty impressed. The same plant put out 38 grams the first time. A nice increase much like the C99.

For some reason I'm missing the notes on the total for K2 last time so I won't be able to make that comparison. The NLxNL comparison should be interesting as I pulled 42 grams last time and thought that was pretty decent. Not sure I can beat that this time, but maybe she will surprise me.

Also keep in mind that this time there is an extra plant soaking up a portion of the foot print in the middle too.

I definitely prefer the higher yields but I miss the big donkey dick colas... there's gotta be a happy medium... thinking scrog with a very controlled approach to how many colas I end up with. I just want like 4-8 good colas per plant. Obviously reveg worked against me in that sense. But the yields are good so whatever.

anyway I got/am taking some harvest pics for K1.

I was gonna wait til tomorrow (10 weeks even) but decided to go for it and took down the two indicas. Rubbed some finger hash when I was done and put it in my solo... straight to the moon! Zoom! Very good. I've adjusted the lighting so that the LED is now pointing directly at the last main plant, the K2. Her calyxes have finally started to swell but I'm still not sold on the cloudy trichome quantities. Still not seeing barely any ambers so letting her run for the moment. Also, the Diesel is farther along than I thought and will probably come down with the when she does go.

So yeah trim pics from K1 and harvest pics from Nor'Easter and NLxNL coming soon. Drying tent is full so I'm sort of modifying it to add a second hang bar for more hangers as I think I'll be pulling K2 before the others are dry, thinking maybe round 75 days. At least for the tops. Definitely some calyx swelling, which is pretty notable with this pheno because it's so hairy you can barely see the calyxes at all before they start to swell. Hairs have turned on a lot of buds but some, including the biggest cola, are still dominantly white haired.
