EDIT! i need a lot of info/pics of the harvest stage.. so i want to know how all you guys (I'm hoping YOU ALL will post YOUR harvest technique) harvest i.e; what to look for to tell WHEN to cut, how/where to make cuts if i want to revert to veg to keep as a mom, how to trim/cure, and just how to tell when I'm ready to harvest.. if you guys have any pics/info of anything that has to do with harvesting you can feel free to link me to YOUR page OR post em up on here.. i no mind.. thanks again! i appreciate the info in advance! PEACE!
I'm doing good haha, I'll throw some pics up for ya since you asked, you can comment all you want haha
Here is two white widow I harvested about a week and a half after this picture (dont have any harvest pics )
I' took some branch trimmers and cut it right at the base of the plant, then i chopped off each of its branches and trimmed them, not a grooming trim, just got most of the big stuff off, let dry for 4 days and groomed them, after i let dry for about 3 more days. After drying I clipped all the buds off of the branches and put them in mason jars that had an airtight seal on them and cured for about 3 weeks. I'd open the jars at least once a day for about an hour to let the moist air out. after about 3 weeks they where perfect to smoke, and the longer i left the buds in the jar the better they got haha
dude thanks for the info! awesome post man.. +rep to you! that plant looks awesome too BTW.. so do u do the tricome method? meaning taking a magnifing glass and check the color of the tricomes? cuz i know as the plant gets closer to harvest, the tricomes will turn from milky white to amberish, than finally to brown.. but is that while it cures? or is that a sign to tell you to start your harvest, meaning start the cutting/drying/curing? im just a little confused.. i know i have a while before i harvest, but i would rather know before so i can figure it out/.. ya know?
Thanks guys! Yea steve. While I was in RI we came up to Boston for the day. It was fuckin sweet. And it like a day trip so I would be close to hemp fest. Sorry I don't have pics. My phone crashed and I had to restore to a profile from 2010 so this has been 2 weeks of hell since my computer, booey ass iPhone, shitty luck. But it will teach me something in the end, I know it. Penny is doing well(I promise) and responding well to my new feeding schedule I'm on, so that's good. I just had a shitty long day at work so I'm beat to do the whole copy paste tedius work right now roor than bed. Night y'all.
Promise you pics tomorrow. (the ones you like paperhouse)
nice man. what part of boston were u in, downtown? looking forward to seeing those pics. i still cant believe how big shes getting! shes looking like one dank skank lol
Hey thanks man. I germd on may 13, planted on may 15 so 3 months last Monday and she has a "waxy" smelling and uBer sticky. Like my fingers stick together. It's nnnnaaaaaiiiiiiicccccceeeee
Stonedguru, thanks for checking me out! Penny has come a loong way. I'm still amazed that from a tiny seed, I get this. I love it
Steve, downtown is where it's at man. So I put in for a xfer at work, so it's a matter of weeks till I move wo0t
The reason I'm turning this leaf is to show the main (middle) vein, does it look like a cal mag dif? Or do u think its just genetics cuz of the purple stems?
Thanks for the love guys. I'm currently bubbling her food for her feeding. At the rate Shea been growing on my new schedule that I will post soon. I think by end of september - mid October I should start thinking about the harvest. but we shall see. She's getting bigger by the day and she's getting all "dusty" I'll call it. Sticky like a mofucka, the smell is hard to describe, it's like a "waxy/burning plastic" smell. I've smoked bud that smelled like this ad it's always resinous, sticky, and dense, the smell is pungent, like when u break the bud up ur whole house stinks. It's allways been good to me so that makes me even more happy about my first plant! When I get my place settled in RI Im gonna have a auto SCROG box just for autos, than I'm gonna have a separate photo SCROG box and a regular photo closet. So yea when I move we will see a little farm and all the grow boxes will have 5 plants min. Maybe do a hydro setup. I also want to grow outdoors. Endless possabilities.
Sorry ive been away dude! I was camping at some waterfalls for a few days and man was it dope was fuck! But yeah I have a microscope i bought at a hydro store and that is how I check to see if my girls are done. I always try to harvest with 30-40% amber trics, Anything more than like 40% gives me more of a couch lock high and I got shit to do durin the day so I need to be able to move around haha
Sorry it took so long. My mix hasn't changed but the amounts and way she's fed is different. If u have any questions on my method I will be more than happy to explain it further.
Here is the schedule I follow.
Key;
Ratios= water:fert mix
W,ST,M= water(distilld), superthrive, molasses (I use this to mix my ferts as well, so it's a "constant")
1TBS molasses
1 drip ST
1.5TBS big bloom
2TBS tiger bloom
.5 tsp big bloom
1/4 tsp cha ching
I think that about does it. Working well ffor me. I get no nute burn and constant food whether it be a hard shot of food or trace food I figure if I ween her off and on food she will respond better to a new mix of ferts.
Much appreciated on the feeding info man. I've always had a feeling that I've been underfeeding my plants and your schedule is more than double of mine. Great budshots by the way.
