LOL - Did I drop off the face of the Earth or what?
Day 63 Flowering - Read to Come Down!!!
In this first pic - check out the bleached white cauliflower nuglet at the top of the white widow cola. Im wondering if it will still pack a punch or what it will taste like!
This next blurry picture is of the bagseed we grew that grew into a bush I had to tie together to keep from dominating the space.
Ill post better pics along the next few posts, but I dont know what strain it is.
Would love if you all could help figure it out.
Has a very fruity, lemony type scent to the nectar, as opposed to the white widow "fruit" smell, and Bubblator bubble gummy smell
Tried to capture the space with the rd LED spectrum lit.
Didnt work very well - fucks up the camera.
Next pic is the massive 3-pronged white widow cola.
I went to the grow space one day and the mother f'r was tilting over from its own weight.
Some of the branches I didn't tie up with yarn ended up bending to the weigt of the nugs.
Amazing plant.
This next picture is of a white widow nug on the plant that started tanning, over-frosting - not sure - but it looks like its going to knock me the f' OUT!
Double cola on the mystery bag seed plant
She was a late bloomer, and she looks like a sativa, has long thin colas
Here are some of her lower branches and how they developed.
She had many bud sites, lot of little popcorn sites.
I admit, during this drop out period I went through,
I was worse than mites. I was attacking my plants and drying out the popcorn buds that I left on thee to sugar up a bit before I pulled them and dried them out.
I started moving up the plant the more I smoked, so had to stop.
This next bud is an example of what Id pull popcorn wise off the white widow plant.
Got me SO BAKED. Dry mouth, red eyes, total Jeff Spicoli.
No trichomes lost in my oven bake method.
150 deg for 20-25 minutes.
Read somewhere the slight heat actually brings out / releases more THC from the plant.
Ill repost that if anyones interested.
But this pre-bud kicked ass.
I believe this is a mystery bag seed cola
Close up of another widow bud
Heres another pic of the White Widow beast top
One of the pulled White Widow nuglets ready for the oven, and my lungs
Another attempted LED lit pic. Fail.
Heres a couple of branch nugs from the widow. She grows thick condensed buds.
Weight wet around 6.5
Dried it came to 2.0
Lasted me 2 days, kicked my ASS!!!
Another view of some nice nugs.
NOW.
I want to cut them down and start curing.
I looked at the trichomes and they are all still clear (mostly) to cloudy.
Zero amber.
But Im in my 63rd flowering day, and Ive seen no change in the widow.
I think for her, at least, its time to come down.
Holy shite Im psyched!

Thanks Encom - happy enough with it. I like the old Jeff Spicoli whoooaaaa high - slitty red eyes, dry mouth. The body buzz puts me to sleep and makes me need coffee all day long , so I aim for the clear to cloudy white trichomes. As soon as I scan, see amber, and also see mostly cloudy thats when I pulled. The monster cola weighted 56 g clipped off the plant - but found there was a little bud rot and mold on the inner core part of it. Disappointed with that. Not throwing it out, its the white cottony fibrous mold like what you get on early roots. Just pulling it off, removing the dead brown bud, and keeping the rest. Been getting BLITZED. I have a mystery strain in my space now, getting a week more... ill post pics maybe you guys can help me figure the strain.

Yeah, you remember the dreams from the start. I AM glad to at least be coming out of it with something. Like I told Encom, that monster cola weighed 56g off the plant fresh, and it had inner core bud rot at the top 33% and some white fuzzy cotton mold. So most of them died. Learned and decided to go full white widow net grow, 4 plants only, and going 12/12 as soon as they stand up, pinching, scrogging, and harvesting earlier (2-3 months as opposed to the near 4 this one took). Luckily and odly enough, the bagseed I threw in there to make it an even 12 thrived over the rest and is the last man standing in the space taking an extra 7 days while the rest of the harvest dries. Have either of you tried the rush dry method? Moist bud on stone or ceramic plate, oven at 150, 20-25 mins. Dont lose a single trichome, or THC, just the scent gets messed with, but its a great way to sample before the entire dry process if ur impatient like I am. Saw a post on it when looking up what temps THC breaks down or is degraded / released etc. Ill repost if ur interested. Again, wish I had more weight, but so glad this day has come and I have something. Some damn potent shit if I may say.Hellz yes Demon! All of those colas look amazing man

Yea man we for sure used that quick-dry method a few times for tester buds
Worked well it seemed..sounds like you got your next plan mapped out which is good We're definately doin shiz a little differently next round as well. Once we move our veg'n ladiez then I'ma work out some kind of RDWC system to throw in tha tent with the 400w. Prolly a SCROG as well. No fuckups this time tho lulz. Horizontal branches ftw! I'm with tha bro. Thanx for the updates and the great pics!

Red eyes and dry mouth sound to me like a "body" high. I myself like the cerebral high like you and harvested my last crop when I saw a few amber trichs and mostly cloudy like you.
It's too bad about your monster bud and the mold. While I see that you managed to trim off the bad; I've read that you can derive ice-hash from moldy buds and not risk contamination from the mold. I'd have to find the source of this information to be sure however.

I believe thats true. I did already force dry (heat) the bad bud, and ran it thru a grinder, and collected the sugar. Looked at it under a microscope - no signs of the mold fibers.
Am going to wait for the last full sized plant (yet to be harvested) until it gets amber, and see how that feels in difference. Impatience is a factor thats hard to rule out though.

Ha, I wouldn't worry so much about impatience if you plan on jar-curing. The first thing I did on my last crop and being "dry" I took one on the branches I had harvested and water-cured for a quick (relative to jar-curing), fully cured smoke. I've done a few quick-dry methods and found the harshness of the smoke extremely undesirable. I'd rather wait out 6-7 days and water cure for a smooth, cured smoke (albeit tasteless).
