So last night round midnight or so, I decided to get started.
Hello, Ladies.
I love a woman that pours out of her outfit.
So on to the task at hand. One more last look at you, my lovely. Ready for a trim?
Pretty.
If your clippers don't look like this on harvest day, you didn't do it right.
Next!
Yeah...
This is what madness looks like.
Kief fodder. It's gonna fuckin' snow on my bowls. Just in case the bud isn't potent enough by itself... Yeah, right.
Do you like my new modern art piece? I call it "Deer Caught on Fence."
Dare me to smoke this? Carpet fibers and all? I will...
Hoo boy! I guess that wraps up another grow, Kids! In closing I'll say that this looks nothing like my Diablo harvest. But since I achieved excellent uniform density (even the lower buds were thudding on the tub when I dropped them), I do believe it's a higher quality yield all around. As heavy? I doubt it. But again, the increase in quality makes up for anything. This weed smells incredible. Buds are hard as rocks, even the small bottom ones. Pat, pat, pat... That's me patting myself on the back. Stinkiest one to date. Now the fun part of watching them dry...
Last time with Diablo:
This time with Tahoe. (Hey, I'm not thrilled about this visual comparison either, but don't let what you see on the surface fool you too much. First off, that's almost a pound of weed in the above photo, so it's a tough comparison for Tahoe. But secondly and most importantly, the almost a pound in the above photo is bloated muscle chicken... so it's not the best Diablo can be -- because I artificially pumped up the yield.) The difference? The Diablo got a mixed reception at the clubs. This here Tahoe is a much lower yielder, but it's the kind of shit that makes a little wet spot appear on the pants of club managers (note the superior trichomes of the Tahoe even from a distance). And also bear in mind that I made a conscious effort to nute them mildly this time to prevent changing the plant's true characteristics... resulting in smaller plants and a smaller yield. I expected sacrificing yield significantly for quality, so this isn't a surprise. I'll compensate by starting another two straight away.
So the moral of this story is... Guys who go around barking things like, "a pound a light" aren't taking strain difference into consideration. If I grew a strain like Big Bud or ICE, I would yield more than a pound for example. True OG is difficult to grow, stretches lanky and is a stingy yielder. That's why it's so damned expensive. And try going into LA shops with jars and jars of Black Domina or something? You won't get very far. Edit: Ready to blow your fucking brains out on some of this, Cheeze?
