Ok, so im 9 weeks in, and 3 days ago i began Harvesting the plants that are ready to go. The first plant that i saw go amber was WhiteBerry. Shes an awesome plant to grow, and shes amazing to smoke. No paranoia, just a nice uplifting high, followed by a little bit of couch lock. Perfect for being social, or bedtime aswell in my case. Not a high yielder at all (maybe it was just me, lol), but I love this smoke and im glad i ordered another pack of her to keep in my garden in the future. I Left the smaller less developed nugs on the plant to mature, and ill chop them in a week or so once theyve densed up a bit.













The next day i harvested my Twilight plant. On the plant she looked really nice n solid, but she kinda dried out airy, and if i didnt know any better i would say that she wasnt done yet (she was about 40% amber when i chopped). But reguardless, she smokes nice, and she has a nice indica stone to her. I wouldnt go as far as saying its $50 1/8th chronic, but its some pretty good smoke. I harvested the whole plant. no pics of the buds as whole branches, but pics of a pile of bud, n if i can find a pic i took of a closeup, ill post it:





Lastly, today i harvested Half of my Northern Soul. Shes so beautiful man. Rock hard nuggets, soo dense n heavy, n resin absolutely everywhere. I let this one only go about 30-40% amber, because i wanted varying harvested types of bud, so i can see which type of high i like best, this being my first REAL harvest. Once again, in about a week, maybe two, ill harvest the lower half of this plant as well, as soon as the buds mature and are completely done. I might also let the trichs get to be about 60% amber or more before i chop the rest down, just to see which i like better. Definitely head stash pot :D












-Now, i also have 4 other plants, besides the half Northern n Half Whiteberry plants i have in the tent. I also have 2 Blue Cheese plants that are beginning to mature, but arent quite there yet. Id actually say ive got about 2 weeks before theyre finished, unless they do some rapid trichome growth, lol. I dont get it, the Blue Cheeses were supposed to be heavy trichome producing strain - has anybody else had similar experiences with this strain before? i mean, both plants are absolutely beautiful, but they really are lacking in crystal production. A potent plant to be sure, but it just feels like theyre missing somethin.

The other 2 plants are White Widow (Seedsman). Theyre only about 2 1/2 weeks into flowering, so itll be a good 6 weeks before i see results with them girls. But i didnt top them, so i could see how a plant looks fully developed, with just one huge top cola. ;)

Ill keep posting pics in this thread to keep everyone updated on how the drying/curing/smoking process goes with this bud, and also for the harvesting of the rest of my crop aswell. Hope you enjoyed the pics as much as my happy ass enjoyed growin the bud thats in them :D

Sure man, I grew in a 2x4x5 tent, which originally was a hydrohut, but it actually ended up killing off some plants, so i took the cover off and fashioned my own using panda film, and mylar. So i went from 10 plants to 6 plants because of that (2 Blue Cheese, 2 Twilight, Whiteberry, Northern Soul), and then i planted in 2 WWs to compensate. So i ended up with 7 plants overall, with the Widows about 4-5 weeks behind the rest of the pack.

Lights - I used a 600w Digital Greenhouse Ballast, Mh/HPS. I started out using the MH, then switched to HPS, and then about 3 weeks ago i switched to a 1000w Digital ballast, and got an eye hortilux bulb. It was a tad too much for a 2x4x5 tent, but i made it work, lol.

Nutrients - FF trio, Molasses, BMO super plant tonic, Humboldt County's Gravity + Purple Maxx, supplemented with Cal/Mag and ROOTS ORGANICS HP Bat Guano formula (high phosphorous). Flushed in two stages using Clearex, and then continued to use Gravity mixed with distilled water for the last week of flower.

Soil - Fox Farm Ocean Forest, with some Dolemite lime, Perlite, and Cottonseed Meal mixed in.


i know i coulda done better with the whiteberry, but due to the whole HYDROHUT fiasco at the beginning of the grow, it actually stunted the WB really, really bad, and she ended up being really squat, and low to the ground. Her tops probably would have been double that size if i would have had no problems at the beginning, but hey, shit happens right? lol, shes still some of the best green iive ever smoked, coming in second to that Northern Soul i chopped today man. Her samples were so dank, n i cant wait until tomorrow so i can smoke some completely final product.

And i still have the two Blue Cheeses to harvest next week, so i really cant wait for those to be done. Ive been a little worrried about how theyre turning out. Theyre HUGE, and the buds are completely solid n hard as hell to squeeze, but the resin production really isnt all that great. Shes a knock out without question, she really does pack a punch, but i personally would have liked to see a more greasy, crystally appearance before i chopped her down.

Hope that helped a little bro, i tend to ramble a little bit when i type man. I just got a new laptop, n for the last week ive been posting on here using my iphone, lol.

glad i could help man, lol. I gotta be honest, besides topping these girls, they pretty much grew themselves. No special maintenance required, these girls are amazing for beginners, with the potencey that a heavyweight smoker is looking for.

yup, ill come check you out man, no worries. N i got some pics to put up for anyone checkin this thread out. These pics are from my harvest of Blue Cheese. 384 g wet i think somewhere around there, lol. It ended up bein 3.4oz dry, which is fuckin phenominal IMHO. Also, there are pics of the buds in the process of curing, i spilled a little pile of buds out of each jar of each different strain. The order goes : Blue Cheese, Whiteberry, Northern Soul, Twilight. The Northern is my Favorite for Bag Appeal, and i think she also ties for potency with the Blue Cheese. Whiteberry is really nice for a social high, and if you smoke a fatty before bedtime, shell work as a nice mellow nighttime smoke too. But Northern knocks you on your ass before you know what hit you. Its almost an instantaneous high, and it lasts for hours. I love that strain, lol. Blue Cheese is just as strong, maybe even a little stronger, but its a creeper strain. You dont really feel that high once your done with a bubbler, but then like 5 minutes later you catch yourself spaced out, n then your just assed out stoned. Beautiful bud, and BC is most definitely my choice for a bedtime smoke. I used the whiteberry a couplenights in a row due to her being the only plant i had harvested, lol. Enough babble, on to the pics!!









-n also, ill have some more pics to post up tomorrow some time of the N.Soul before n after harvest, i dont think i posted up anything for you guys in here yet. :D
