Shit,i was out of town & away from my computer for a few months & forgot to update this thread,i forgot about this grow alltogether.
Anyhow this was 2 harvests ago & all went perfect,i let them bud for 91 day's & until well over 90% of the pistils had turned a lovely golden brown,this havests stinks to high heaven & has a very heavy narcotic high that last a long time.
After harvest & trim i put them in my quick dryer's for 3 to 4 days,length of dry time was dependant on bud size,the main cola's took 4 days with the lessor bud's being dry in 3 days,after drying they went into very large tupperware containers & were aired out for about an hour each day for a week to cure.
After curing we smoked up,the smoke is smooth with a very heavy skunk taste & smell,the buzz is a couch lock buzz that my wife really enjoys,out of the different strains ive grown & am still growing my wife likes the top 44 the best,she has Multiple Sclerosis & has tremors in her body,the top 44 gives her a sedative & calming effect that decreases the tremors in most cases to acceptable levels where no muscle relaxors are needed.
I wanted to leard how to seed my buds just to a point where i'd have enough seeds to put away for a few months or even a year so i wouldnt have to clone & i could try a few other strains,we liked the strain so much & it calms my wife's tremors so well that we just kept the top 44 strain going & it's now part of our permanent grow op,i still have some nice beans put away for spring outdoors & as gifts for my friends on this site that ive spoken with,i'll be in contact with those members soon.
We ended up harvesting right around 4lbs from this room,gave half of it away to family & close friends & are still puffin away the last of it.
The harvest right after this one in the pics was only allowed to bud for 70 days & as far as my wife is concerned the shorter bud time was a mistake on my part,looking at the trich's before harvest where they were a 50/50 mix of honey color & milky white i thought it woulda been long enough,they shoulda went longer because the buzz is nowhere near as a narcotic buzz & the taste is to weak for our tastes.
Ive now harvested top 44 twice & the trick for me is going to be to let them push 90 days bud time every harvest,it's worth the extra time.
