One of the best first grows I have seen. Mine didn't look like this, lol. I'm glad I don't have any pictures of it, haha. Amazing what a little bit of reading and studying can do.
Thank you very much I really appreciate the kind words. I'm certainly trying!!

Alrighty guys...well mrs Jack has been gently harvested, comfortably hung, and surrounded by love. Very happy for the results being the first girl of this adventure. Needless tk say I have learned tons and the girls in line after her promise to be good examples of that. 8-ball kush by barneys will be cut most likely Saturday she's got just about my pref amount of Amber. Then the aroma (ERSBxpowerplnt) is due in about 2 weeks and looks rite on schedule maybe a lil ahead. About 2 weeks after that the WW, blue og, skunk#1, midnight kush and blueberry gum will all be done within a week of each other. 2 weeks later lemon kush headband will be done and my platinum gsc X blue power (platinum delights) will come in at the end of January ish. In my veg tent for next grow I have 8 mob clone from my buddy (amazing pheno) that I'm going to make a scrog for. Plan to use half the room for the 8 in a scrog and the other half for my flavor salad that j love to do. On the other side will be Bcs God bud, Calis purple diesel, Canuks n lights, barbeys pineapple chunk, g13 c99, la cheese (forgot breeder), and I'm gona do 2 more plat delights by sin city at the same time. I also have a blue og girl I pollinated w the sinmint cookie male I have and a ww I spread some gdp love all over. So yeah..to keep this journal going would be a year long thing where I don't really do a start to finish style grow. Always something "almost" done. Always something drying. Always something curing. Always more on deck ;-) Thabks for tuning in everyone hope you liked it I will be back in a week or so with weights and more pics of the other stuff...you're gona really like the others if you liked her.

Had to show you guys this..so after I hung the Jack I ground up and froze the trim. By trim I mean only sugar leaves zero fan zero stems only the totally frosted ones. Once it was good and frozen my fiancé and I spent about 14 hours adding butter to the slow cooker while it simmered. The result...well....

Nice man. What was your ratio? I make coconut oil all the time. Basically subs with butter 1:1 --- And you can pretend it is healthy, haha.

Rite man! I like coconut oil a lot I just wanted to make a few different bakery items so thought I'd try my hand at butter. I couldn't tell you ratio haha I just slowly added butter all day as it simmered! Haha

Try to get it back closer to 80. I don't really see issues until the upper 80's / low 90's. As long as the plants look good, I wouldn't worry.

Ok thanks bud! I went and checked her about an hour after lights went out and its def heat. All the top leaves are strait up and curled in pretty good for not being abnormal at all this morning when I watered her. I think I will just give her some better distance from the light until the AC is running again. She's the only one affected, however she's the youngest in the flower room too. It's my platinum gscXbluepower (play delight). Thanks for the reply again happy growin as always!

Alright guys so I got 2.5 ounces off plant #1 the Jack. I'm super happy w it smokes awesome..8-10 nice big 3-4 gram nugs. Smells much more enjoyable than any other Jack I've come across in the past but maybe it's just the dif genes. Cutting down midnight kush tomorrow. Super excited for that she is so crazy looking and smells like the most pungent of blueberry smells ever. Rock hard grenade nugs..2 down, 7 to go, all in the next 1-3 weeks. Woohoo!!

I couldn't resist after uncovering some of her beauty...my camera sucks (iphone5 BEAT) and every pic I've tried to take of the finished Jack looks like a green and orange blur..I will find a way to get some good ones yet dawg gawn it!! Il be back w trimmed pics of aroma tomorrow she's in the dark chamber and about 30-40% Amber ;-) both look pretty decent imo...agreed??

Hey everyone!!

So the harvest report thus far is:
Jack herer by canuk seeds taken at day 56 2.2oz

Aroma by ch9 seed organization (ERSBxpowerplnt) taken at day 62 2 oz

Midnight kush by g13 labs (blueberryXhashplant) taken at day 63 2.3 oz

8ball kush by barneys taken at day 63 1.5 oz

Blue og and skunk have just been jarred for the first time today so we will get weights in a few days. Let me tell you though, that blue og is one for the books. She will stick around this garden for most likely it's entire existence.

White widow has 2 more days in darkness and she will come down, super stoked for her I did my best training work yet w her she's got 23 tops all very even and the smell it's taken on this last week or so is delicious.

Blueberry gum will go in dark box following WW and be down in 5 days from today. By far the stickiest plant and very fruity smell, awesome structure.

Lemon kush headband...my oh my. This girl has shocked me. From the start of this she looked to be very average. Decent veg growth, not a ton of stretch, and I trained her pretty well. Around 20 tops. Early in flower she didn't have much of a smell compared to the others but now...wow. My local dispensary has a headband from Cali and as of the last couple days she smells exactly like it. Soo amazing smelling!!! She is about 30% Amber and will go into dark for 3 days before chop following BBG. Can't wait!!! Il be back guys stay up and happy grows!!
