In prep for my first ever harvest i thought i could use this gotta know how big the girls really are, got from a local head shop for $30 didn't research it at all so hope it turns out to be a decent one
was adding pics so you know i gotta throw in the girls, because i can't help myself
that's actually a great digital scale, I've had that same one for over 3 years. It's not the best but for the price accurate to about plus or minus .1g which is all we really need them for.

so my white russian and my tall easy ryder are now in the final flush just my small er i'm considering giving one more feeding and some more time,
I pulled a pile of leaves from the girls, most of which should have come off long ago especially on the small bush er that thing was so dense no light could get thru
when should my last watering be before i chop the white russian for harvest? i imagine it wouldn't matter that much only to possibly prolong drying time
She'll be at day 80 from breaking soil after today.
The g13 labs white russian day 79 from breaking soil she stands 20 inches from the soil and the last pic is her lowest "Popcorn" buds i think my under lights helped them plump up
the group
the short bushy easy ryder at day 67
Rudy the tall easy ryder pheno, at day 71 she's 26.5 inches tall and filling out nicely, she's also on her flush but giving her another week to finish up before i chop. So glad i didn't pitch this seed when it wasn't wanting to pop
rough trim on the white russian and chopped her and hung her to dry
its an odd solution but since i've got the two still going and no other cabinet to dry her she's hanging at the top of my cabinet with a paper bag around / beneath her to block the light coming up, think this might speed the drying process so i'll check her often, also its right under my odor scrubber so air flow a plenty, but bag should block some of that
How's she look? does this look typical for an auto flowering white russian?
A seed?! Wife tested first 'bud' from white Russian if u can call it that. Was the two tiniest lowest growing twigs right at base. I snipped off when I hung her to dry. One day in paper on heater vent and ready to sample. But found a seed? A mature looking seed , from twigs with single calyx buds?! In a cabinet with no males or hermi?! What's up? And could this seed be viable??
i had to have missed a lil banana popping up somewhere, now i just hope my whole cabinet isn't going to be seedy. bummed by seed but excited to try and grow it again someday fingers crossed i didn't seed up my two easy ryders
My Easy Ryders: Rudy is 26 inches tall and her sister is only 14 inches. They are less than a week apart in age from breaking soil, thou rudy was germinated earlier.
The white russian hanging to dry been up since late sat night and humidity has been hanging around 40% she's mostly dry with some moist areas and still bends pretty easy with no crackling sounds. think she'll come down wed and get trim and go into jars
er's frosty goodness and no seeds in sample bud i took from rudy which is a good sign. one bud was hanging limp after almost breaking off when the white russian came out so i quick dried it on top of the toaster oven for my girl
Post Trim 30.5 Grams of Bud in two jars and 6 grams of sugar leaf trim in one jar, maybe i'll make butter or brownies with it.
I'm confident this plant should have done an easy 13 more grams or more but once she got a taste of pollen she stalled and that was it.
I did find the one tiny male flower and it was much higher on plant than i hoped so i'm sure she has some seeds sprinkled all over.
found two tiny under developed seeds while trimming but didn't spot any others ready to pop out so we really won't know how seedy she is till we start breaking up the buds
Should have know my first grow was going too smooth to last
after one day in the jars i popped them open to "burp" the jars and the bud smelled really green so, i read recently in Skunk mag that leaving them out in a paper bowl can help dry them a little more. so my bedroom was scented all night with two bowls of white russian sitting on top of my warm cable box. when i put them back in the jars again they seemed much less "green" smelling but we'll see for the next burp. i'm hoping the cure can help this bud out right now i'm not a big fan of its smell. which is odd. thought i loved all bud scents.
So Rudy the tall easy Ryder is 11 weeks old today and even my short easy ryder is over 70 days , but they are both frozen in time?! Neither is gaining weight or dropping leaves? They are both totally green?? At almost 80 days shouldn't Rudy have more yellow and dying leaves? The smoke is good to go because my girl loved her test bud. I was just waiting for the short girl to finish, but I guess she has.
Would pollination cause these plants to remain dark green longer?
I'm planning to take a look at both my easy ryders under the microscope tonight and see where the trich's are, but the sample i pulled from the taller er was already a good body stone my girl likes so if they aren't going to produce any more weight i think i'll take them down this saturday night so i can start the dry and cure process. my only hesitation is that the short er hasn't been on pure water as long as rudy has.
got a PM from someone asking my location! they were wrong with guess, but still too close for comfort. I think that means i'll be closing my RIU profile and journal. Thanks to everyone for your help and keep going my friends, good luck and good grows. and keep an eye out, i smell bacon on this forum.
Someone was snooping around in a PM fishing for my location and that kinda rubbed my the wrong way so i think i'll be leaving RIU. Had fun with you all if i don't come back. good luck and good grows everyone.
