Sup guys,
sorry that I keep disappearing. Always not enough time to make a proper input
busy days. Harvested cindy quite a while ago and still have no time to smoke it.. Anyway.. weekend is coming. That shift schedule is a bit dispersing me. Nonetheless soon I'll be having some 4 days weekend
So.
papanikolau.
drying went very fast for me as well.. too fast.. although leaving leaves extended the drying time. but.. the trimming is a bit more messy.. But dropped now with boveda, it should release some humidity into the box. Drying box will be probably next thing I will be mastering my skills at, once I will be comfortable with reading my plants.
About that 4colas thing... well.. It's not really 4 colas.. at least not for me.. It's more like four way training. At the same time I get branches growing 4 different directions. I try to head for ~9 mains with 8-12 secondary ones. Somehow plant makes that for me, keeps the branches mainly at two levels.. I noticed that if I train more before flipping, i.e. going for 22 shoots, they get VERY thin and tall with small colas, then it's a bit waste on quality.. I think training a plant with mainlining technique for 8 colas would be something I'd prefer. But it takes time and efforts, still not ready for it.
Also I noticed that 70W cmh that I hanged vertically on the side of the grow area.. wow, if only it would have been there earlier
bottom buds wouldn't be that airy... It doesn't need to be strong, it adds up with the main lighting very well..
So got some trimmings, will be planning to make that poor mans technique with ice you showed me. Though I wouldn't go for qwiso, bubble hash or other methods.. at some point I said to myself that I DO NOT NEED THIS...
like >200g of weed that sits in my MJ bar... But growing is much too fun for me to NOT grow...
I always try to go for water pipe option(or cookies), I second the glass pipe, but just cause it's portable but not because I enjoy.. With hash you do not breathe in all that plant matter. You can tell only by looking at the quantity you burn of hash and weed..
Duch! nice to see you back. Good to know that all is good for you
For me this time drying went very fast as well.. Outside is rainy and very humid, I kept buds in the room I dry my laundry, so every time I go in there I feel moisture in the air, still it went very quick.
BUT that boiling water method I feel like proved to be real deal(resin production, preharvest curing) .. I usually felt drying hay smell, but now it's such a strong pleasant smell, no hay smell whatsoever and only today I started curing...
That little sugar box I packed today did not give me any big numbers. got 52.7g. I wonder how much I will get of hash. But the quality I got.. oh my.. never had anything half frosty as this batch..
Also will be getting additional 15-20g from clones. Probably different quality, but also very much interested how the smoke will change.. KH posted quite some lab results that seeded buds are by 1-2% more potent than seedless ones
UB also was saying that..
Also do not underestimate the popcorn buds, While on intensive reading I saw in a lot of places that popcorns are also just as potent and even stronger than top ones.
Will do smoking/edible reports in a day or two. But for now,
to do a quick brief of a summary of a table of contents: Vegging and resin production went perfect. That part when plant had to pack some budsites got messed up.
Probably will be repeating all of the steps I did, cause this proved to be a way to go.. Oh yeah, next time will veg a 4-7days less
Damn I'm, writing a lot..
Take care!
