@countrock easy mistake to make confusing similar bottles, I've done it myself in the past. I hope you can pull them around with a proper ph

Probably i'll  pot at the begin of June,so they crop the fields around there first(i hope this makes sense)and go for fast fems.3 1/2 months ,are enough.

 

Yes mate, makes sense to wait until the farmers are out of the way And the plants shouldn't get too big before flowering which is better for stealth. Unless you want monsters

@jadenugsI have just managed to catch up with your epic diary dude, quality photos as always, I love the scissor hash photos and it looks like you are putting the Raynox lens to good use with the macros. Almost time for you to enjoy the fruit of your labours dude, enjoy.

@Smokebelch Thanks for popping in dude and for the kind words.

The C47, CCFV and SPCBD are now in the jars. GPCBD will probably get jarred tonight, it's in a Brown paper bag at the moment, still on stalks. Put it in last night because the others seemed to have crisped a bit in the last couple of days before jarring. It doesn't take a lot of sunshine to turn it red hot up there in the attic. I think they all got off to a good slow start with the drying though so I don't think there'll be much chlorophyll left in there. Looking forward to trying them in a couple of weeks

Day 65 harvest of Sweet Pure CBD

 

 

Hi folk, the Sweet Pure CBD was ripe enough for me on day 65 so down she came.

Trichomes were turning amber/brown and degrading, while most were cloudy and there were still some clear.

I'm not sure when to harvest a high cbd strain but I read somewhere that 25-50% amber is good as cbd takes longer to develop than thc. True or not, one thing I do know is you can't harvest a plant with 50% amber trichomes if they're disintegrating or breaking off before you get 50% Agreed?

5 plain waterings this one had. I would normally feed 2ml/L Grow/fish mix and 1ml/L Bloom right until the end to keep them healthy, then just one or maybe two plain waterings depending on if I'd been using calmag.

I overdid the calmag early on in the grow when I had problems, so I starved them all near the end hoping for a decent taste.

 

Couple of full plant pics before the chop

Some closer shots of the trichomes

 

A crop of the last one above

 

I quite like this one

 

And a closer crop

 

A few more random ones

 

Just trimmed and in their tray waiting to be hung up

 

Spread out for a better view. I left even the smallest airy buds on as I don't want too much cbd in the hash I'll be making from the mixed trim. There'll be enough in there from the bud leaves.

 

Hanging up to dry

 

And finally the rootball, doctored with a hacksaw so you can see the roots in the middle

 

The resin was quite greasy and I never got much scissor hash at all. I mixed it into a ball of other hash that I had and forget to get a picture first, but you're not missing much. It was tiny.

Next update will be for the Green Poison CBD.

 

Thanks for looking and be lucky

Day 66 harvest of Green Poison CBD

Hi dudes, the GPCBD was ready enough to come down on day 66. There were still plenty of white pistils which made it look like it could have gone some more but I was happy with the trichomes and it needed to come down anyway to get it dried before the temps got too high in the attic. A fair percentage of amber with most cloudy and still some clear. Like the SPCBD it had had at least 5 plain waterings, possibly 6. I don't remember if I gave it another watering to keep it going the night before when I cropped the SP. I might have done but I never wrote it down.

The usual full plant pics directly before the chop

I took quite a few pics so the update will be split over a few posts starting with the cola pics

 

[jadenugs]

Here we have some of the tops

 

[jadenugs]

Here are the close ups and some trichome crops

Another pic of the above top, with the very top focused and cropped close

The following images are all of the same top with different bits in focus and crops of the best bits. Confuses me sorting all these out

 

[jadenugs]

The usual pic of the colas in the tray waiting to be hung to dry. Excuse the dirty looking tray, it had had compost in and was wiped clean but fine dry compost powder had stuck to resin already stuck to the tray. So it shouldn't have transferred to the buds, hopefully. I doubt it anyway

Laid out for a better view of the harvest.

Hanging to dry on coat hangers as I'd ran out of space on my drying line. Always a good thing

The rootball opened up like the others previously, to show the root density

.

And finally the small amount of scissor hash. Not a lot because of the resin being greasy. I think I lose some in the trim though by not removing it from the scissors as it builds up before it falls off. The hash was sweet in the pipe. Not quite as tasty as the C47 and CCFV but the high was really nice and smooth on my head, evidence of the cbd in the mix.

That's all for now.
Thanks for looking and be lucky
