hehe. it is. the main cola is 25cm tall. its hard to tell the colour of the trics, i don't have anything to magnify them. i would guess that they would be cloudy with amber starting to show seeing that it's an 8-10 week strain.

ok pics as promised.

in the last one you can see i've moved them out of that cupboard tho. that amount of moisture was making it to humid so it's all in the tent with the ventilation going.

with the other plant being smaller and done in two halves i didn't have that problem.

Very nice work mate...

Congrats...

Make sure to let us know what's the final dry weight...

I chopped another 4 lollipops down yesterday, the biggest was 98g wet, the smallest 65g wet... not bad for having 4 plants per square foot...lol...

I am averaging just over 20g dry per lollipop...

So what's the plan now? :bigjoint:

cheers gypsy.

the plan now is get a job then start back up with the ebb/flow. so no more weed growing until i am gainfully employed.

omfg. i was inspecting my big cola earlier and saw some white fluff on one of the buds. a quick check about :cuss::fire: bud rot! it was indeed. looked fine from the outside apart from the fluff but all the advice said pull each bud apart so i did. :wall:.

i reckon i saved 1 1/4 of the 2 buds i had to cut but i had to give them an hour in the oven at low heat. now they are in a jar, lid off, in the tent. the rest of the cola is still hanging with a fan blowing directly on the affected area (i've read it's not recommended coz of spreading spores but i have no other choice). humidity is no higher than 40 and i'm checking it every couple of hours.

i'm not sure when this could have started but there was definitely no fluff when trimming but i do, in a cloudy haze, remember thinking when trimming, that bud looks very purple. and from what i've read now, that's an indictator of bud rot.

some pics of the main cola and the area i had to chop out :-(.

last pic is of the remains of the infected bud that's now had an hour in the oven on a low heat, an hour in a sealed jar to juice it back out and then another hour in the oven. now it's just sitting before going back in a separate jar.

jeeze man, there's always one thing that bites you in the ass when you least expect it.

i do still have two plants in the aerogarden vegging. i may flower them while looking for a job. :mrgreen:

Sorry for your loss Steve...

Rot is one of the reasons I get a little scared when I get a nice monster lollipop...

Lots of air movement is what I have done to try and stem that... flower room is about 40%RH

yeah, not sure why i got it as the tent is well ventilated. maybe the bud got bruised giving a spore chance.
