jadenugs Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 @beezee They seem to be drying til stem snap in two weeks for me which is just about right for my liking but the humidity in the attic is holding them off being ready for the jars. They're jarred but with the tops off and humidity is 68% at the minute. Set a mini humidifier up tonight so I'm hoping that will bring it down a bit so I can seal the jars and start burping @MacGanja Cheers mucker, I smoked a bud of the early one I chopped from plot 2 and there wasn't much smell, tasted sweet though. Effect was heavy body for an early bud but not much psychoactivity. We'll see what it's like after a cure Well the PO looked like she was starting 2 weeks ago so surely I'm gonna see flowers tomorrow, hope so. I will be proper buzzing if that big one finishes, will be the best plant I've ever grown, she's had enough attention for an outdoor plant, more than I've ever given before. So fingers crossed mate. Yeah, looks like Beez has done some good wizardry here He'll be setting his own bean shop up soon. We can test em for him Big respect to you both lads, your comments have been very inspirational throughout this diary 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flighty Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm no panik, I just like making seeds I have just started another project after seeing results from outdoors, a very late seed run in the gh...I hope it'll come off. Nugs, with your growing skills I know you'll pull it off! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadenugs Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Haha, buzzing mate, there's no holding you back! Top man I think your Essex kush is gonna be a belter! She was well in front of the ACM last visit so can't wait for tomorrow. Good luck with this late seed run 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadenugs Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 A little update on the bud situation. More of a picture update really because most has been said in the comments above about drying, humidity and weights etc. Plot 1 Blue Critical first, 12g of whispy buds because of early chop but I'm sure she's gonna be tasty Plot 1 Bubba Kush auto, also chopped early because of mold issues and weighed in at 27g And finally the Bubba Kush auto from plot 1 chopped 2 weeks ago. She's really surprised me this one. Had to lose another 3 decent sized nugs due to mold while drying but she still weighed in at 72g. Me and autos didn't get along before this grow but we have become good friends now So as far as I'm concerned this diary has been a result because it was all about Bubba Kush and Blue Critical that were kindly gifted by Dinafem, 111g of dry buds in the jars has been worth the effort. The rest will be a bonus As usual, many thanks for looking Happy growing and keep it green 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flighty Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 That's really surprising that an auto x photo is slower than a quick photo! I bet your well happy with that final weight, 72g off a gg auto is excellent, you just need to test it now 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragg Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Sun grown Bubba in the north of the UK that is a great yield especially as it's gg you must be stoked mate! Bet she tastes superb and ATB for the rest of the season my friend 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGanja Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 @jadenugs awesome work buddy! That's a fantastic result! Some quality looking weed there! Now comes the hard bit the testing! Excellent job Fingers crossed for the PO! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadenugs Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 @beezee @Fragg @MacGanja Cheers lads and sorry for the late reply, been a bit fucked up this weekend Tried the plot 1 Bubba on Friday night and she's nice. Yes I'm well stoked with the yield.......and the quality A bit sticky and lumpy in the grinder as can be expected so soon after drying and without a proper cure yet. Had issues emptying the herb basket in the vape when done as it's a long narrow basket but I'm sure it'll fluff up nicely after a cure. Still struggling with humidity being 69-70% in the attic, even after putting a mini dehumidifier up there. Nice thick smooth vape and tastes subtly sweet, not oversweet but nice and I'm sure there's a hint of spice in there. Nice indica effect off this but no couchlock and a nice stoned feeling with clear enough thoughts, more psychoactive than the early chopped one from plot 2 So I'm very happy with this gear overall and it can only get better when I can get it cured properly. Leaving the lids off the jars is not taking the humidity down so I might have to seal them and get on with the cure by doubling up on the bovedas, see if that works. Thanks again for the compliments lads. All the best 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadenugs Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hi all Time for an update on both plots Plot 2 first, followed by plot 1 When I got to plot 2 the Dinachem and Critical Jack were over on their sides and probably had been for about a week but no real damage to the plants apart from the roots will have had some breakage. No ill effects though. So first thing to do was right them and steak them back up. I just used the pegs and twine i used to tie them down originally. I finally thinned them out and got rid of the lowers and spindly shoots from the middle. The big P.O. was solid and hadn't budged, so was the EK On checking the Essex Kush I found a couple of buds in the middle had rot so I cut these out and thinned the plant of large fan leaves. The trichomes were saying she could be chopped but not the pistils, they were only just starting to wither at their tips and I've decided to push her another fortnight. Onto the pics Group shot of the fallen plants and the PO. The CJ at the left looks small as all the top was behind the PO. Critical Jack uprighted and pruned Dinachem uprighted and pruned A group shot after righting the toppled plants Purple Orange CBD before I pruned her and an after shot of her undercarriage. And the Essex Kush Thanks for looking. Plot 1 coming coming soon 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadenugs Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Plot 1 update. This is the plot I expected more of the plants to be toppled after the heavy winds but there was only the Critical Jack that had gone over. Luckily it was still off the ground because I had to leave it as it was. I'll explain later. I checked the ACMxEPK for rot and there were 2 colas that had a fair bit on them. I chopped the colas and salvaged what I could from them to dry out for an early taster. Pistils and trichs were much the same as the EK so I started thinning out the fan leaves between the colas and she'll stay out another 2 weeks I reckon, weather permitting. I was 2/3rds through pruning when I heard both barrels of a shotgun go off and it sounded close. Carried on pruning for a bit then heard both barrels go off again so I had to abort mission and get out of there in case they came my way So I'm hoping I'd made enough airflow through the plant. Also I hadn't pruned the CJ and 2 POs or righted the CJ as mentioned earlier. Never got a pic of PO#2 either. Shit happens. Here's some pics anyway. Group shot first ACMxEPK Critical Jack Purple Orange CBD That's it for this update. Next in 2 weeks with some SOP for the Dinafem photos and to crop the EK and ACM. Of course, that might be sooner if we don't have any dry weather. Many thanks for looking. Happy growing and keep it green 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flighty Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Your smashing it with them hacks mate. I'd be a bit careful pushing the ACMxEPK, if it's anything like cream mandarin it'll have really dense buds that can rot from the inside. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokka Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Looking nice, and yes your PO cbd is looking very similarly (un)developed as my Original Amnesia. Here's to a sunny November for you. I know my November will be warm, sunny and dry! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadenugs Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 @beezee Thanks mate. Yeah I'm watching the weather closely. Rest of week isn't going to be too bad. See if it lasts out til the weekend. Then I'll look at the long range for the following week and decide from there. I can only really crop on a weekend because of hours I'm working. It's a tough one @mokka Cheers dude, thinned her out best I had time for and enough to leave decent branches with some airflow. I'm hoping November will be crisp instead of damp. Slow growth but less rot is a good compromise I reckon. If not it's not the end of the world, the PO, CJ and DC were just a test and I would have put any cuttings I had out to fill spaces. Planted a Ugorg Blues in a shit spot North side of a bush shielding it from the sun last year, bit of fbb and water retaining crystals on plant out. Went back mid November to find a few bits of rot and pulled an oz That is a really good set up you have with the burner mate and should serve you well.
