....HARVEST UPDATE....​

What up RIU peeps..! Sorry for letting my thread go quite and pulling a houdini act on the Forums in general ...but as you can tell I have been busy...didn't know how much work harvesting was when you have to do it all alone and work full time on top of it....pulled a couple all nighters...but it is alllllll so worth it ...guess maybe setting up my trim station on the couch in front of my 46"DLP wasn't a good idea as far as distractions and finishing up my harvest/rough trim quickly goes...lol...sooooo i have two girls left to do tonight but i figured i would throw up some pics real quick so everyone can see the early results of all my hard work...lol...i wanted to also thank everyone on the RIU Forums for helping me get to this point in my grow...I have learned TONS on the site...THANKS!!! Anyways...I am super happy with how things turned out...i would of course have LOVED for my yield to have been a little higher...but for my first run...i think i did ok...i know in the pics they all look like little popcorn buds...atleast thats what my buddy said...but in reality the stems are anywhere from 8 to 12 and some are 18-24inches long so lots of those are good sized nugs...the pics just don't do them justice...also check out the trich's...i swear the last week of the grow and then ESPECIALLY after hanging them the fricken' trich's just EXPLODED...cola's look like they were rolled in freakin' sugar...LOVE IT!!! The smell is AWESOME!! The whole garage has that SWEET super danky smell to it....same with the early taste test's...has that super danky almost diesel taste to it ...maybe trimmed up and with some better pics people may have a better idea what strain this is??? It LOOKS...i am not saying it is...but looking at it reminds me LOTS of Kandy Kush...and it really didn't until after trimming and hanging it...i LOVE Kandy Kush and spent months smoking that ONLY from my local delivery service and this just TOTALLY reminds me of that strain...anybody agree/disagree..?? Lets debate strains...lol.....well thanks for stopping by...look forward to comments..!
.............oh yea check out the pic of my pile of trim...there is TONS...I am SOOOOOO looking forward to making some BOMB ass butter with all of that ....anybody with experience making butter wanna give me some pointers..? do i use everything, stems fan leaves and trim..?? or just trim..??​

Keep Growing....!!!

looks tasty!

dry untill the stems bend slightly then break. put in jars opening once a day and pour them out across a surface and let them sit for 10-15 min, put them back in rearraging positions from last time. do that once a day for two weeks then you can do it only once a week

Excellent job ducedub22, for your first grow that's F-ing amazing bro! I'm embarking on my first "Real" attempt at growing my self, I'll be using a 400 Watt MH/HPS as well but I'm only doing 4 plants in a closet, I'll be topping and probably doing a SCROG as well. Someone was telling me that 400 Watts isn't enough but they seem to be working just fine for you, thank you for posting this you have lifted my spirits and re-motivated me to succeed. Hey by the way, what are those green hanger things your using for hanging/drying, those are F-ing awesome bro, great idea!

+ Like + Rep for you my friend!

sup duce, shit looks famazing!!

lets see here bout your butter.. the first time i made mine, i used some stems and all other trim. i use just the frosty bud trimmings now so either way will work. theres a few ways to make it, i just biold water an trim for a few hours and the butter. then i used cheese cloth to strain out the plant material, then took the liquid mixture and put into fridge for bout 24hrs. the buter shud be on top of the water that sepersted its self from your now canabutter good luck buddy!!
