Dutch Passion Orange Bud 8 Weeks Flower

79 Days FS 56 Days Flower
I took a few lower buds off her over the weekend as my jar will be empty again midweek, so they have been hanging until this morning, you can see why its called orange bud from the pics,
I`ll probably let her go until 9 weeks if I can, she`s turning real fast so I`m out with my scope everyday, From what Iv`e read online her harvest time is anywhere between 57-64 days most take it down on day 61.​


anyway her she is....
The lower buds I chopped a few days ago.
​


A shot of the lower sites left.

Here`s whats left with my lighter for scale.

Cheers, I'll let her go as long as she needs, she won't be going another 2 weeks tho going by her trics but stranger things have happened lol, I know she has a little more weight to go on, the pistils have only just started receding, I also just popped into your thread looking good there mate, I have a boss hog around 2 weeks ( I think ) FS.

Key word......Weeks! It needs about that, No offense bro, but those buds are way airy, they were not close to done,."Let er Swell".Also the buds will get that almost yellow\goldish sheen, when its done, as the trics tell it all!..IMO...Cheers!!

First ever grow, doing a 12 12 under 400 with euro shade. 6 weeks in Northern lights from Nirvana. 2nd week after popping my ballast broke so had them just under a small LED for 4 days.

Couldn`t agree more they were taken VERY early but thats better than passing money over to a dealer who knows fuck all about whats he`s selling, my jar cannot be empty lol anyway, Iv`e been through many many harvests over the 7 or 8 years of growing and have always gone by trics, this is my 1st strain to memory where the trics are amber but the majority of pistils stay white.

I cant get a good shot of her, the last was with flash so she looks under cooked but by the shot of the trics below you can see about 20% amber, shes telling me now to keep an eye on her, I can honestly say no more than 2 weeks not even 1 tbh...

I dont take offence to any post or critism, thats what forums are all about ;)

Dried my buds for 3 days. All really small. .5g-2g each. And now they smell like grass. Been curing and burping 4 times a day for 30 mins each for the past 3 days. How much longer can i expect till the dankness comes back.

If you hung for 3 days then jarred for 3 days you need to keep the jar closed and burp once a day for 5 mins, in about a week the smell will come back,the hay smell comes from the crispy outside concealing the moisture inside.

It will become soft again to the touch and the hay smell will go, if you we're to grind a small piece now you'll get a wiff of her scent, and it'll show how wet it still is.

My last harvest i had some bigger buds. 1-3gs or so. I went on vacation and dried them wrong (first harvest) threw them in a cardboard box. When i got back 7 days later they were over dried and had flatten from sitting on the carboard, but the smell was great. Is it possible that i didnt dry this batch long enough?

I would guess no.....the first thing you want to avoid is drying the
buds out too soon. They can lose flavor that way.

The buds will smell like grass (hay) for a while as it takes some time
for the chlorophyll to breakdown.

Search up the curing thread. It is a good read.

Good luck,

JD

P.S. I recommend that you also get a hygrometer that can fit into
the jars. (I use this)

Then, aim to get the jars down to 62-65% Rh.

P.P.S. I had to work to confirm the range above....when I got there,
I looked into Boveda packs which are used traditionally with cigars.
They are a bit higher in hunidity when used with cigars....but then
I found a 62% version....then I found them in a small size at about
$1 each! Hoo hoo!

I went to help a mate trim a few weeks ago, he had 4 KGs to trim. The firs day I went round the bud was way to dry. It just crumbled. He next day when I went back he had thrown in a loaf of bread in to the sacks of bud, I was like what the fuck you king but to be fair it did help moisten it up again but not sure what it did for the taste and smell. I've got a pic on my phone but can't seem to upload frm my phone to here

That is a cannabis plant,probably sativa.Got DNA?
Sorry about that a??hole answer I just couldn't resist,I don't believe anyone can tell you that..
When I tried with bagseed I could not find a way without DNA.
It looks good,keep feeding it,& you'll love it in the end.

nameno Thanks for the reply. Plant is actually Indica dom and yeah I don't expect to get a definite answer was more just hoping someone might come on here saying it looks a bit like so and so strain. Just wondering coz its quite a nice plant and it was sourced as a named strain when bought from seed and only cloned since so there must be a name out there for this girl just too bad it wasn't passed on to me. Just wonderin as I have been searching threads trying to find a pic of a similar looking plant and haven't had lot of luck. And yeah I will be really enjoying her in a few weeks time as It will be a smokefree few weeks.

I'm just going to con tinue burping a few times a day. The buds don't feel wet, but they dont crumble at all. There is no shake in the jars. The jar is only a 1/4 filled up.
