you should give water curing a try with some of your bud. You be able to smoke it in a week. only down side is they will lose there dank smell and lose more weight but only b/c so much stuff is flushed out.

Yeah, I read that article (and others) on water curing already. Not really for me to be honest. I love the smell of good weed soooo much, just like a fine coffee when u break the vacuum seal.....mmmmm so nice! So I will not be doing anything to compromise that lovely aroma man, no sir! I'm in no rush (not really), I owe it to my buds to give them a proper slow air dry/jar cure!

I am saving all my clippings and will be making bubble hash. So I'll get my lovely clean THC with the hash, as well as my nice stinky buds!!

How are you doing the bubble hash?
Did you buy the bags or the machine?

I was going to try the dry method where you freeze the clippings and then shake over silk screen in a frame.
Then you just scoop up and compress.

The bubble hash does look fun though.

Well, not got anything yet, but I have been perving over this for some time now....Bubbleator B-Quick - Online Shop

Then fdd did that EXCELLENT thread on making hash with it....well, I just have to have one. But I can't quite afford it yet, so my clippings will be getting frozen till I can.

Yep, I've seen that method too, that would be my next choice to be honest, but I think I'm gonna save some cash and get the bubblelator I think.

Very nice healthy looking plants there buddie. Very impressive. Im going to have to try these cfls. good job

Hey Snow White. Thanks for keeping up on your journal, it has been very good and I have been looking at it since you started!! Cant wait to see the final, final, final yield!. Changed my mind on CFLS, but going to use HPS as well. I like the long flowering process too, patience is a must. Good show

i made my own hash tumbler a few years back, with peices of birch and a super fine copper screen from michaels craft store and an old toy rock pollisher for the motor and geer box, it worked great! the same materials also make good kief boxes, i have found that bone dry leaves drop tricomes better than frozen but fresh weed...just what i have found, lougrew likes to make his with a pillowcase instead of a bubblebag...so whatever works i guess.

Hey Beaner. Yeah, I may try and make my own. I just want to be sure I get the nice fine grade you get from the bubble bags, but I know they are kind of pricey! I am drying my leaves, then was going to freeze them for preservation until I get my shit together to make hash. I heard this was ok to do. If I had the bubbler already (homemade or otherwise) I would just be making the hash as soon as the leaves are dry, but I don't so I will have to wait.

So anyway, on Monday I harvested the rest of my plants. 1 full plant, and 4 plants of just lower buds. Check out the pics below. I had blisters from the scissors after trimming this lot...took fookin' ages.....but what a pleasant job.! My mrs was not impressed with the smell!! I fuckin' stank the whole house out! HEHEHEHEHE It was pretty intense!!

Here's the pics of my final harvest, not including the colas I already harvested over the last 2 weeks. I will post final weight of full harvest when it's all dry.

whats the weigfht of the trimmings?

holy fuck am I jealous!!!!

Afucking mazing man realy AMAZING !

Cant wait to see the yield I am going to guess and say your gonna get almost a pizzle out of that.

great job,read it all twice.once to warm up the brain a second time to see what you wrote.question,can you compare the lower buds of the last plant you cut with the lower buds of the ones you took the colas off and let the lower buds grow.is it worth it to let the lower bud flower an extra week after the main colas done.and what was the result of the lower buds of the very first plant you took the cola from,the one you had an oven toke from.cheers.

Hello my fellow growers and tokers!

Sorry it's been such a long time since any updates.

Firstly, a big thanks to everyone who's been following and commenting on my journal, I hope you have enjoyed reading it. I have really enjoyed the whole grow and sharing it with you all has been great!

So......Who wants to know the final yield when dried and cured???......

It came in at 10oz!!!! Just under 2oz per plant, of very, very nice bud! Nearly lost some to mould during curing mind you, but I caught it soon enough, thank fuck! What a way to loose all your herb, a very scarey thought indeed!!

Personally, I am not so convinced I got any more yield for leaving the lower buds an extra week or so. I think by the time I harvested the main colas, my girls didn't have much more left to give, it certainly didn't make a BIG difference anyway. But it did make my harveting/manicuring life a little easier by splitting the harvest up.

The smoke is so sweet too, this Nirvana Snow White is some lovely shit. Smells and tastes amazing!! My mates love it too. I just wish I could tell them it was my handy work, but only one of them knows and we just smile at eachother knowingly as the spliff gets passed around! HEHEHE

For the trimmings, I've got about 160gms I think, plus a jar of the fluffy popcorn buds from the lower branches. But they are sealed up safe and sound with my lower popcorn buds ready for hash making one day when I get around to it. Just wish I had room in my freezer to store them, but I don't!

So that's about it from me folks....till my next grow anyway...

I have some Mandala, Satori and Hashberry seeds waiting to be started. Got my soil yesterday. I'm cleaning my veg cupboard out today and have got some small modifications to make. Then I'll be starting them later this week. I will of course be keeping a journal again.........so watch this space!!

PEACE!

only got 2 day 6 LOL ?? oh well

woo hoo congratulations job well done.

very well done for your first grow , major props man

Cheers turbo, I was very pleased with my snow whites. They were proper bushes man! It's such nice weed and so lovely to smoke!

Just bringing this one back from the dead to report some exciting news........my SnowWhite genetics live on! I always regretted not cloning these babies, but as it was my first grow I just wanted to keep things simple and get a harvest.....which I did! So I was happy!!

However, you may remember that I gave 4 of my SnowWhite babies to a friend when they outgrew my space and I saw him yesterday for the first time in a ages....turns out he cloned my SnowWhite's and has a SnowWhite mother that is nearly ready for taking cuttings again!!!

So in a few weeks time I will have some SnowWhite back in my grow room and I will try and maintain it as a mother for future cuttings. Happy Days!

yesss, i bet you are glad your freind didnt kill them...it is always nice to have clones too instead of seeds...get that next crop growing

Congratulations mate, Took me about an hour to go through this journal, and for a virgin grower thats aloot of yield, What nutes did you use? (I admit i skipped about 2 pages) Hehe

Good look on your next grow, may your yield be grande!
