Mine too!My favourite part of growing
Just like taking their pics at this time, they change daily.
Checking them is AM they average around 30% Cloudy so will be checking them daily for that magical 60 to 70% cloudiness with few amber.
They are fattening up! Here is the same bud, pics taken 3 days apart. Gaining girth!
These all taken this AM right after lights out.
Samples from each plant.
The first pic of this post is one of the 4 plants in the tent.
Here are the rest of them.
Center of one of the G13's, such a lovely plant!
I got the Critical Kush in a plastic container now, put it in last night to sweat, pull the moisture from the stems. I will be putting them back on the rack for a day or two then into jars for curing. Looking like 2.7 zips dried but uncured, very disappointed, should have at least doubled that. Tried this strain two time and both times was not happy with the results.
Now the G13's look heavy and smell just wonderful, and I have anywhere between 6 and ten days. The are just continuing to pack on some weight, foxtailing but the trichs aren't there yet.

Just a couple of days to go, still getting fatter by the day.
I am thinking start harvesting Sunday or Monday, days 71 or 72. Just don't think I can let them go the full recommended 74 days. Still getting lots of new pistils although a lot have turned to red, trichs over 50% cloudy very few amber.
When they came out of the tent this morning, just before the final irrig. cycle, the pots were light but the plants, man, they are heavy. Rearranged them in the tent, then irrig. cycle.
Started on Tuesday, the rez had approx. 6 of the 9 gallons it holds, added 3 gallons rain water (5 ppm) to fill the primary rez. Added a touch of Epsom, Cannazym full rate, Boost just under the suggested high rate. Since then it's been getting 3 gallon a cycle period of rain/RO, pH'ed, with Cannazym and Boost. ppm is just under 100 with a ph that starts at 5.85 and over the night may swing upwards to 5.92, which is a good thing.
G13 Haze pheno 2 and pheno 4
Just some bud shots,
I bumped the lamp with this bud last time I took them out for a walk, LOL.

Very productive weekend,
Saturday morning pulled the plants out to give them a good check up, they had a good low ppm flush twice and had their water stopped on Thursday morning so the pots had been drying in the pots for two days, I scoped them and found at least 60% cloudy, 20+% clear and the rest just beginning to turn amber. Turned to my GF and told her to get the trimming sizzors and we got busy. Harvested that Critical Kush earlier last week so this weekend GF and I did the G13 Haze.
Total wet weight, 4596 all plants, had around 450 grams of small buds and leaf that will go in the oil also, the G13's averaged 999 g wet weight and the CK was 600 g. Not sure what that will be dry but being conservative and using a 15% wet to dry ratio it comes to 24.62 zips of good medicine (but never count those chickens and all that crap). Should be able to get enough CO for my treatment, I hope so anyway.
Ladies just before chop.
First two rows hanging in the tent.
All nine rows, lined up and smelling so nice.
My little helpers comment, I don't want to take this leaf off it has so much white crystals all over it. My comment, remove it, it is going to be added to everything when we make oil.
..
Well I will post dry weight when it happens, not totally happy, the Critical Kush will not be grown again and the entire plant is going to make oil. I would have done well weight wise had it not been for that bitch. Second time to try her but won't grow it again.
Guess I will continue to use the stacked 315's, very pleased with the lights.

I think you might be surprised when it comes to the weigh in.
Great run, can't wait to see how you improve from here!

Three plus days hanging in the tent with heavy fan action. Removed the branches from the tent and cut the buds off the stems.
Dry but pliable, put into plastic bags to sweat for 24 hrs, then it will go on the drying rack, for a day or so then into jars for curing. They are drying fast so watching them closely.
Although they are not cured yet, I know I am going to do 1g/W and possibly more.
Do believe I will not grow in the summer anymore, not without added equipment.
Looks like it will only be two grows a yr for this ol boy.

The buds don't seem to get as dense when I can only get the tent low temps in the mid 70'. I like getting my temps in the low to mid 80's during veg and for the first 4 or so weeks into flower, then lowering the temps to the high seventies during lights on and 70 or so during the last few weeks.

Final final,
They are in the cure jars, weight has not changed since Sat..
Total of the four G13 Haze plants = 23.5 Zips (658g) of smokeable/medical
Shake, sugar leaf/leaf (168g), G13 under sized buds, smokable but would be too much work to trim (56g), the entire grow of Critical Kush (70g) = (296g) 10.5 Zips
Total = 35 + Zips
And just over a G/W of medical goodness, plus the good Cannabis Oil the rest will make, Yay,
As for the smoke, last night G/F and I had a couple of bowls and it was very delightful I must say. Uppy high, kept us awake for a bit (at least till we smoked a a couple of more bowls), light and thoughtful. Hell I even played some guitar which I have not done in a while. Cool beans!
I am making Cannabis Oil today and using all the shake, Critical Kush, the non workable G13 and 3.4 Zips of the smokable G13 Haze. That give me a total of 17.3 Zips for the oil. Hoping to make 45 plus grams of oil. If I were using all bud I would expect 60 + but with the shake and way the Critical Kush turned out, very disappointed, can't expect much.
Here's the 20 Zips of my medicine!

I think you should build a Sedan style set up but with cooltubes for the summer months. Smash it out of the park all year round.

Hey now, I was running vertical silos long before he got here!
And I never found cool tubes necessary or even desirable. Proper airflow management and environmental control was key.

Yeah but if I said "do what ttystikk used to do" it could be open to multiple interpretations, your reputation with vertical precedes you brother. If I say Sedan there's no confusion

I plan to get back to doing it as soon as I'm able. Justice delayed is Justice denied.Yeah but if I said "do what ttystikk used to do" it could be open to multiple interpretations, your reputation with vertical precedes you brother. If I say Sedan there's no confusion

I ran cool tube in a horizontal grow a few yrs ago, worked ok, but prefer bare bulb.
I really prefer to grow in the winter. If I can get two grows a year like this last one I would not need a summer grow.
Tty, no need to worry, you will be back growing again in no time.
