Freax Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi all, so Mrs F and I spent some more time trimming last night and took down a further 2 plants. Ill let the pics do the talking. The plant above was the most purple out of them in the pics and fair play she has come out with some beautiful colours as you will see in the next pic. It was quite mad whilst trimming it cos when you all of a sudden end up trimming a green bud again it really screws with your eyes after doing so many purple ones. Then this next pic is of the 3rd plant that got taken last night. Then we have a cpl of pics of the harvest so far. This a pic of 1 of the trays i mentioned. Every grow ive done so far when ive used these trays to dry the bud, ive had almost 2oz bang on from a tray filled like this when dry. Im now halfway into tray 8 with 2 plants still to take down. As you can see ive used twigs to mark the trays where 1 plant ends and another begins so that i know a: roughly how much i had from each plant and b: which pheno it came from. Small disaster struck last night when halfway through taking the 1st plant down, Mrs F looks up above my head and says "is that a split?" I look up and theres an almighty tear in the duct right above my head. Fuck me! Gaffa tape to hand the duct was repaired in seconds. Thankfully it was after the fan so it wasnt pulling any more smell into the duct just pushing a bit of ambient stink through with it. It must have happened when we were in and out of the tent last night as i havnt had any real stink upstairs where my exhaust ends. Thats it for now, cheers for looking in. Ill get some more pics up tomorrow probably after taking the last 2 down tonight. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It surprised me too mate, some of the buds i trimmed last night are completely purple. Yes they did all go purple to a certain degree, some more than others Ill try and get some more purple bud shots up over the next cpl of days. That shot of the purple buds..... wow man, you should enter that in the monthly bud comp.... beautiful pic mate! Cheers dude, probably the best pic ive ever taken and erm, done and done Right heres a few pics of the last 2 to come down. First the one which i didnt get in to lollipop at all, had quite a bit of fluffy bits of this and loads of trim. Then the last one to come down, again i didnt take as much from the bottom as i could have but every bud was rock hard all the way down. The main cola from the plant above A shot of the Big Kush naked And some harvest shots. I ran into a small problem whilst trimming. I ran out of trays so i had to hang the rest. The last shot is all the trim and a tub of fluffy stuff thats just ripe for quick drying Ive not decided yet how im gonna process the trim but i do like to have a pot of hashish i can just dip into and sprinkle into a joint so ill probably shake quite a bit of it when its dry. Oh yeah, this girl packs a punch. Not quite a slap in the face, more like a Big Cerebral Kushion. Sort of creeps up after a min or so and just envelops the front of your head then makes your brow feel heavy. And my bro just informed me that it makes him want to go to sleep Absolutely stunning smoke so far and thats just the quick dried stuff. Cant wait till its dry properly and then ill get the proper taste starting to come through then too. As ive mentioned, the trays i usually find give up about 2oz when dry. So thats 9 trays full and whats hanging. So im going to guesstimate around 22oz final weight, but ill just have to wait and see. So thats all for now folks, ill get some more purple pics up when i can and get the dry weight up when its done. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinafem-Mark Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Some beautiful shots mate. This has been a great grow and by the look of things produced some a grade end product with a stunning look. Will be interested when dry on the final product smoke report. Thank you for being one of the first to grow out the big kush on open forum you have done a great job. Thank you for the picture update very much appreciated and enjoy the harvest All the best D-M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freax Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 @@Dinafem-Mark Chers dude, it's definitely a strain that I'm going to grow again. The flavour profile of this is incredible. We've been smoking some of the smaller bits that have dried and it is stunning. I took some with me when we visited a mate the other day and he was amazed at how fruity it smelled and tasted. You get a variety of fruit flavours and smells from this girl apart from the citrus smells when she's growing. I got a blast of something like passion fruit the other day when I had a toke on an unlit joint, it almost made me not want to light it and my mate said he could smell strawberry and lemon when he was making a spliff with it. Thank you once again for giving me he chance to be one of the first people to grow this new strain and please tell the rest of the Dinafem crew I said thanks too. @@zimmer Cheers dude. Yes mate she was a pleasure to trim and you will be glad that you got your nether regions tidied up, that's something I really need to get on top with during my grows, then hopefully with a bit of tweaking of the environment I'll be cooking with gas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freax Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 @@Dinafem-Mark Well I was thinking about running 3 of the PAK next alongside a cpl of Dinachem tbh. Maybe run the Alien again or just do 3 in my NFT system. I do have a few other strains here as well, so maybe another multi strain, 5 strains in the Alien again. I've still got a cpl of Hippy Killers and 2 from a Seedism lucky dip pack and a Cream 47. I'm thinking about changing tents first though. I've been looking at the Century Systems 2.35m tall ones. It'll give me the headroom I want, plus I'm thinking of downsizing to a 1.2m square. The 2.4 x 1.2 takes up a lot of room. I've gotta get some stuff done round the house first and get the council in to so some bits so it might be a cpl of months before I get another grow going. I'd rather not have one on the go with people I don't know back and fore the house. It really is a nice smoke, even pure in a single skinner it was really smooth and that normally rips my chest open so after a few weeks it should be even nicer. I'll defo be growing her again and I want to go through a few more Dinafem strains too. The White Widow was a cracking smoke, pure old school weed that just flattened you and the Cali Hash Plant is real tasty too. But I do like a good Kush so I think the PAK is gonna be included in the next run no matter what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinafem-Mark Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Nice to hear you have a few Dinafem strains planned for future grows. Can I ask is the alien system 4 or 5 pot and will that fit in a 1.2ml x 1.2ml x 2.0m tent? Minus the res outside? Glad the big kush is hitting the spot All the best D-M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freax Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 @@Dinafem-Mark The Alien is a 9 pot system that is designed for a 1.2 square according to the company, but I set it up for 5 pots for the BK grow just to give the plants a bit of space to grow. I've found that less is more in the groom so far. The biggest harvests I've had have been from lower plant numbers. So I'll probably not go above 5 again for a while and try and get it dialled in properly. Also I'm hoping that by downsizing it will make my light more efficient too, by it not diminishing as much before it reaches a decent reflective surface. Well, the idea works in my head anyway. I could place the res and brain pot outside the tent so it would just be the pots in there, then try to maximise the potential of the space by making the environment the best I can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
