Day 60 of 12 12 lighting, I wasnt going to post any pictures, but since you nice people asked ,
enjoy
As a side note, 1.5 weeks ago i trimmed out a bunch of leafs and some lower popcorn buds to lessen the chance of the powdery mildew returning ( and it was returning!! stuff is almost as pesky as insects,, grRRR),, I must say those home made sprays that are a mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide worked wonders, and that is what got me to harvest,,
BUT, after drying those popcorn buds for 1 week in paper sacks I smoked some yesterday, well i have tested all three strains now and WOW the early harvested bud is fantastic, the Gorilla Glue and the Bruce banner really pack a punch, the bruce banner is strongest of the bunch, the J1 Sativa is amazing , The jack herer really shines thru,
the web sites give the Bruce banner and the gorilla glue a 56 - 60 day harvest so i am right in the zone using those time tables, and by using the pre test popcorn bud as any guage this stuff is going to really have me set up with some fantastic smoke
Lastly, I did a Rinse of the plants , I chopped them down whole, and trimmed off the remaining fan leafs and DUNKED them in a bath of hydrogen peroxcide and water , what this does is cleans the buds , it kills any remaining powder mildew and other things, google it sometime, harmless really to the buds , but insures a clean bud for drying and curing,
This was a 100 PERCENT WATER ONLY GROW!!!! i used Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil with Happy Frog organic nutes ( a dry nute you mix in the soil , organic) , I mixed in some lyme for ph buffer and cal mag naturally.
then just TAP WATER!!! thats it,, got on a regular cycle of just water every 3 days,, the ph of my water out of the faucet is 6.4 ph, just about perfect for soil growing
