Searching for Gold, Columbian Gold

[faderharley]

beautiful grow!

Thanks for stopping by angrygranola. 15-16 days from harvest, alittle longer perhaps. I keep saying it like a Cd skipping, but this has been such an easy grow. Can't wait to see some amber. I'm well stocked w/bud from my 1st run so I can afford to be alittle more patient, no rush this time.

Can't image or dare to guess the final outcome, but I bet I'll get 3-4+ oz. from the dominet L.C.Gold and perhaps 3+ oz. from the Blue Widow. The other 2 LCG, perhaps 2-3 oz. each. Either way, come time after the cut/trim & cure at the end of Febuary, that 1st draw will be awesome...

awesome grow.

Thanks for stopping by mane2008. My ladies just finished up their 24 hour rinse cycle yesterday, lol, added new batch of nutes. This AM check, took photos of main colas, lost count, started to photo the tops instead. It's been so damn fun these past few days. Trichomes have about 10% cloudy, colors are more evident, not to mention the tric production. I've measure some of the longer, fattening colas. Average length of main bud/colas are 12-15 inches above the canopy, below around 6"-8" alittle more, alittle less..
The #2 and #3 LCG ladies look awesome, they may not have 18 main cola tops, but #2 has 6 mains, #3 has 3. I plan to re-veg all of them, re-grow them out for an additional harvest on #2 & #3. Because the 2 mommas will be re-vegging w/#2 & #3, once I take cuttings, they are going into a deeper grow-box, #2 & #3 will remain in the original grow-box. I am planning on germinating some old, 2005 Bubbledelicious regular seeds to grow w/the #2 & #3 LCG. Put them all into flowering after 5 weeks w/the clones...I have a great plan for my continual grow.....my ladies 94 days into the grow, 53 days at 12/12 & 14/10, 43 days of flowering...hell yeah...awesome way to start out the New Year....found this under the main canopy on 1 of 8-9 main colas of the Blue Widow

I can't imagine they simply shut down. Little un-nerving not knowing what gives, thanks for stopping by

Most photos I take I can't see the photo on the photo-screen due to the brightness in the grow-closet, I just hold the digital camera as close as I can, press slightly on the photo button, when I hear the camera auto-focus stop, I snap the photo...Thanks

Thanks DSB65, this grow has alot of color in the 2 strains. Day 44 of flowering...These photos are what I call the coloring of the tops of some of the main colas...

Thanks Potentrx7, hard to guess what kind of harvest I'll get. This mornings check I took some upward shots of some of the colas. Also my #3 LCG has little flowers at the base of her main stem, kinda kool. Should be very easy to re-veg them all.

Not sure what I plan to do w/my 1st set of clones. They are in potting soil, but not doing as good as if they were in hydro or aero-hydro growing. I might put them all into flowering right after I harvest the mommas. The new cuttings I will take after a couple of weeks of the re-vegging of the mommas. The new clones are strickly going into aero-hydro set-up. For right now, I am hoping both the LCG and BW are awesome bud cuz they are so easy to grow in an aero-hydro grow system.

Day 45 of flowering, 55 days 12/12 & 14/10, total of 96 days into the grow

Thanks, my Blue Widow has gotten kinda top heavey, leaning to the left this AM check. Day 47 of flowering, my gals are pumping the trics and fattening. About 40% cloudy..

 

[faderharley]

Day 106 into the grow, day 56 of flowering. All my gals are showing 40-50% cloudy trichomes today. PPMs were down to 170 so I gave them a boost, brought the PPMs back to 950. PH has been holding at 5.2-5.4 this past week. I estimate another week to 10 days. Got alot of underbud, so when the trichomes are at 80-100% cloudy w/40-50% amber I'll cut all the main colas and let the underbud fatten/ripen alittle longer before I cut them away. Actually I am just as stoked about the re-vegging process as I am about the harvest. All the underbud will be used for cannabutter and hash. All the main colas bud will get cured in pint mason jars for a few weeks.

After the re-veg process takes off and I take my cuttings for clones, going to move the mommas into a deeper grow-box. My current grow-box is 7-8" deep, the new grow-box is 22" deep. All I have to do is unlock the top of the grow-box, carefully lift it w/plants in grow-pods and place the lid on top of the deeper box.

About a week ago the Blue Widow colas started to lean to one side due to being top heavy, so I have been anchoring some of her main colas. My #2 Landrace Columbian Gold main colas are doing the same thing as well now, more tie downs.

With both strains in their final phase of the grow, I can surely smell the difference between the Gold and the Blue Widow as they are ripening and continueing to fatten up abit more

they look great nice n frosty !!! +rep

Thanks TitoM. Trichomes today are at 50%-60% cloudy w/alittle amber, so I started the rinse on the roots. Good chance I'll be cutting in a few days...thanks again

Day 111 of the grow, day 61 of flowering

 

[Dropastone]

Great looking buds brah. So what's your overall thoughts on the Colombian Gold so far.

Landrace Colombian Gold
According to WoS spec's on the Landrace Columbian Gold has so far been spot on. They state that she branches out alot. The dominet CG has 16+ colas, not counting the underbud, that's branching imo. The #2 CG actually grew alittle different, but has several awesome sized colas that I have anchored. #3 Gold, she has been lagging, but has also produced several fat colas as well. The smell is awesome, like over ripen fruit but not like the CG back in the 70's, at least not yet. She will show her final colors/scent after a few weeks burping in the mason jars.

The Blue Widow same thing on her specs. She grew bushy and is fillen in and ripening nicely. Now she has several colas I can't reach to anchor, so I placed a dual CFL over that portion of those colas laying down. Her colas are not as fat as the Gold, but super dense and heavy, another trait of that strain. Hard nuggets. Other Blue Widow growers have said you have to anchor her down and she has an awesome high...can't wait

Blue Widow

I'll leave the underbud to finish out a week longer after I cut the main colas away. I'm so stoked I'm revegging both the #1 &#2 Gold and Blue Widow. After I take some more cuttings in a few weeks, gonna transplant the mommas into a deeper grow box.

Can't wait until they have dried out, trimmed and place into pint mason jars.

Dammmnnnnnn! ! ! ! !

Dammmnnnnnn! ! ! ! !

Thanks student, I'm so superstoked about this grow. In comparison from my 1st grow, I used a deeper grow-boxes and the plants got pretty big, where-as this grow my grow-box was only 7-8" deep, so the gals didnot get real big, but man, the cola production was like going crazy in this grow. The Blue Widow was a freebe and what a nice freebe she is. Can't say yet about the Landrace Columbian Gold if it was the bud I smoked back in the 70's, if not I'll continue to track her down...Her scent is a punjent fruit smell, but the taste test will sum everything up, I'm sure of that at least. It's still a win-win situation if she is grade A bud

Going dark this Saturday AM for 48 hours, Monday will be cut day. After the cut, putting all 4 into re-vegging stage.
