Yeah, I'm trying to make auto beans. I used collodial silver to get male flowers . Hopefully the pollen is viable. It will be interesting to see what percentage of the seeds carry the auto flowering trait!

Sounds like you should have some auto seeds to me. that's a relief to being I've heard of no herm issues so far reading this thread. I have yet to pop my beans yet for the comparison. I am going to give it a go outdoors as soon as spring is here. Don't know a lot of about breeding but that should carry the auto trait i would think. Great work man! Did you make the silver? or did u order some? If you ordered it what was the name of it? Sorry for all the questions but I may try this myself. Just wanna make sure I order some stuff that is effective at producing male flowers on female plants, and yours turned hermie nicely. All those pollen sacks gotta have some viable stufff in there, probably all of it. Great work!

Depends on the climate you are drying them out in. Humidity levels, air flow etc are all variables in harvesting. I have done it many ways. You can "wet trim" and they will dry out the fastest. This is when you remove everything, fan leaves and sugar leaves. Only thing you have is buds on a stalk. The slowest way, but some will say it brings out the flavor is to cut it at the base and hang with fan leaves and everything attached. You can do it how ever you want, I would just make sure they don't dry out to fast, to fast to me being anything less than 3 days. Check out the harvesting section, it gets in more detail about jarring and burping your jars so u don't end up with mold in your jar. That would ruin the bud in that jar. Not to much to it, I'm sure u will be good!
The more trim off of it while wet, the faster it will dry.

Awesome! Thanks for the great advice and tip! I will try to remember what you said to do; but don't be surprised if I ask you again as I am a couple of weeks out, I think, from flushing.

I find the best for me and most user/trimmer friendly is to chop all of your branches from the main stalk then clip your top leaving about 12" of bare stalk to hang with. Hanging and trimming an entire plant is a pain in the ass imo. I'm left with a row of branches all about 12"-24". I wet trim the large fans and any smaller fans as well as any foliage with a petiole that I can see gets a snip. I dry in a 2'x4'x8' closet. Buds are consistent drying at around 4-6 days. Then into jars following the standard checking/burping timeline and your good to go. The problem with drying and curing is that 1. Your environment will cause the most variability in your times. My RH maybe 65% yours maybe 20% that could spied your dry up by 1-1.5 days or vice versa. I use my closet whereas you may use a 150sq/ft room with tons of ventilation etc etc. It's really just keeping your eye on the buds from start till finish until your confidence is up and it's not even a worry anymore lol.

Thanks again for your awesome advice! You have really helped me out throughout this grow and I really appreciate everything that you have offered. I will try to keep what you have recommended in the back of my head until it is time to utilize your advice, but don't be surprised if I ask you again as 1.) I have a really bad memory and 2.) If memory serves, I have a week left before I flush and then harvest and I will probably forget what you said. I will review the harvesting section on this site for reference. Thanks again for your time and advice! I will look for you on the next comparative grow; hopefully you will be there!

@UniDragon no problem whatsoever!! We all learn together which causes us to find better ways to grow our favourite plant! Everyone gets better buds if we all share knowledge and help each other out! I m here for anyone any time if ever needed! Here's a pic of my Rhubarb Pie @60days

81 days and really looking ripe, colas are real fat and seem to have taken on a darker hue. I even saw a couple amber trichs on one of the plants when I took them outside to stretch their legs today. I must say I really like these plants, they are crazy sturdy and have very dense buds not to mention large colas for such small plants (my largest is about 53cm). All I did was set the timers, water them and they turned out great I think. Props to Jack, George & Mephisto!

I'll report more after the chop.

Sorry Steff44, I really don't know. But if you will do me a favor and post a pic that is taken immediately before you harvest I would really appreciate it as I am still learning how to do this and would really like to know what your plant looks like before you harvest so I have a benchmark to follow. Thanks in advance and, oh btw, the plant looks awesome!

Those are fascinating! You should send those pics to High Time, 420 Magazine and Skunk Magazine! I bet you would get royalties from the pics. That has got to be one of the prettiest plants I have ever seen. The colors are incredible!
