my 2017 winter grow

WattSaver said:

Very nice again ISK, a near meter of plant out of a 1/2 gal of medium. I doubt I'll get 4 times the plant in my 2 gal buckets this next round.

thanks Watts....I think i'll try a 1 gallon pot next time...also thinking of using coco instead of perlite/vermiculite

Sunday was chop day for the 3 gals.

I'm not overly happy with the results, as they should have gone another week but the plants were just fading away, not many healthy leaves left

B


C


D

Now just the auto-fem Jack Herer left to go

Moved the 600 watt HPS into the closet in the spare bedroom....this setup works rather well


J1


J2

Got the buds in jars now..... pic's of each jar's contents and approx weight
Note: the jars are marked with a different colour of wire.... B= blue/white, C= white, D= blue

B - top cola (which was slightly burnt on the very top) - 16 grams


B - next best buds - 27 grams


B - next bunch - 30 grams


B - the lower junk - 6 grams


the B jars - total 79 grams

C - which was the smallest of the three but I do believe it will be the best smoke of the bunch

C - cola - 24 grams


C - next best - 24 grams


C - and the rest = 25 grams


C - the jars - total weight = 73 grams

D - the tallest of the three but still had the exact same weight as B

D: top cola = 20 grams


D: the next best - 22 grams


D: the next bunch = 27 grams


D: the lower left-overs - 10 grams


D - the jars - total weight = 79 grams


and the whole bunch sitting in the food cooler
I typically keep each jar in a brown paper bag and then write on the bag what the contents are....but I ran out so I need to buy some paper bags
I'll let them sit for an hour or so before replacing the lids



then all sealed up...it's like a cigar humidor .... the cigar world calls this the poor mans humidor

and the auto-fem Jack Herer gals

J1 - is really looking close, I'm guessing it will be ready to chop next weekend

Still enjoying sunshine when available, but it has not been a sunny winter, in fact March was the darkest month in history


J1


and J2 which is a few weeks to go

Update on the Jack's

J1 - last night we had some sunshine for her enjoyment


just before the fun


the fit & trim look


just hanging around


some root porn for @WattSaver


J2 - is not ready, at least one more week... maybe two


I'm now giving her some premium grade sunshine to help boost the process

Another nice grow ISK. Sounds like the bag seed is some good smoke, that's always a bonus. Well my GDP plants have showed their hands and I ended up with 4 boys out of 6 seeds. I guess it's just 2 girls for this flower run. I'm going to try your indoor sunshine grow style to finish the males and collect some pollen. I've got them in the loft under the skylight.

Thanks Watts...I'm really pleased with them, likely the best smoke I've ever grown

I could tell when harvesting the auto-Jack, that it will never be in the same ballpark as the bag seeds

good luck with the indoor sunshine grow....it doesn't take a lot of direct sunshine to make them happen

My worry is that there will be too many hrs of light, but these boys are fully committed. The fast one should start dropping in the next couple of days. The slowest might have 10 to 14 days.

I jarred the first Jack Herer (J1) for approx 64 grams, but much of it is smaller buds

the jars

a few decent buds

the cola is hiding in there

smaller buds

and the bottom trash


As much as I wanted to chop J2 today, it's just not ready...but next weekend is drop dead date

It's throwing fox-tails like crazy, which seems to be common for these auto's from Crap King

it is becoming quite top heavy, as it just fell over while sun tanning, didn't do any damage.... I added the plastic shoe box on the base to stabilize

Hey ISK, J2 looks like it could be the winner between the JH autos. Only a smoke test in the future will tell.

Final pic's of J2 (Jack Herer auto-fem) - her last taste of sunshine



last pic before harvest


down to the bare bones


hanging up to dry (PS: Go Oilers Go)


@WattSaver - just a bit more root porn


very solid roots on this gal

Final Update:

Jarred up J2 yesterday and was really surprized as she was 86 grams, which was more weight than all the others.

I haven't smoked any of J2 yet but it sure does smell good and is quite sticky..... I'm quite sure it will be better than J1

I'm really pleased with all my plants (especially the bag seeds), as I would have to say this is the best smoke I've ever grown

The top cola and the prime buds


The smaller buds


all in the jars


Yesterday I smoked a joint from my last year's notorious "winter sunshine grow" and I was shocked how tasty it was, maybe not the most powerful pot but very pleasant to smoke...I'm not going to grow my typical indoor sunshine grow this summer, as I still have lots from last year and now this year's harvest is enough for quite awhile

cheers
