My Green Cracks Ready Baby!!!!!!

So this is my first grow. What an experience this has been. Pretty much has consumed my life for the past 4 months. I started this grow with 3 Green Crack clones and 3 Blue Dream clones. The Blue Dream will be ready next week. I am so fucking glad it worked out like this because harvesting takes so much longer than I thought. I thought I would be Edward Scissor hands and knock these 3 girls out in 5 hours. Fuck no. It took me 5 hours just to do my first plant on Friday. Yesterday I harvested my second and I got faster and it took me 2 1/2 hours. Are these numbers accurate? Does it take you guys this long to harvest or am I just slow as fuck?Today I have to knockout the last Green Crack girl and I'll be done till next weekend. I am very happy with my results so far. I'm not weighing them while they're weight because I don't want to put These huge figures in my head and try to do the math on how much they're going to weigh after they dry. I just want to weigh them once and be happy with the dry weight total. I grew each plant with a different growing method. I LST 1, topped 1, and let 1 do her own thing. It looks like topping is the winner by eye but not by much. the LST plant didn't respond as well as I thought, but maybe its just the strain because my Blue Dream LST is doing amazing.Since I didn't make a Grow journal I anted to give my girls a farewell and let everyone enjoy as well. I'll update this thread with the results of the 3rd Green Crack and all the Blue Dreams as well as a final dry weight of each plant. Smoke report is going to be a while. I have this thing in my head were I don't want anything but perfection so I haven't trimmed a nug here and there and I'm not going to smoke until these babies are dried and cured. Well I hope you enjoy and be easy on me it's my first grow.

2nd Green Crack. This Green Crack is so sticky, frosty, and smells like pineapple.

1st Green Crack drying

So I'll keep this updated as I harvest. If I don't get the 3rd Green Crack up tonight I'll post the pics tomorrow.

I think that they could use a little more time, but that's just my opinion.

They're good Lil Czr. They're 60% Milky and 40% Amber.

looks good to me

How much was the yield? and how many plants was that? I counted 6 but I had a hard time keeping track of how many it was in a few of the pictures.

I don't know the yield because I don't want to weigh until they're dry. and yes there's 6 plants total but I only harvested 3 this weekend.

So I finished this girl around 630 last night but then I got caught up watching True Blood all night. I looks like this one yielded the most.

nice pix....thanks for posting. yup-trimming's a bitch and that'll never change. what can change is your attitude toward it, the speed at which you go and the level of perfection you demand in your finished bud. personally, I like to smoke a looser trim- as all that is just covered in tric's. if I have to trim it tighter, then I use all that for cooking-my fave is infused olive oil which can then be used in almost anything.
get a variety of scissors-it doesn;t change things much but it sure makes it easier to have the right tools.

bravo, shit looks awsome man. this is a very nice thread to sum up the whole grow. sounds like your gonna enjoy those nuggets.

Sure, you could chop them now. However, wouldn't you want to just give her one more week?

The difference between cutting now, rather than giving her just one more week (7days), would be very distinguishable.

Enjoy it either way though.

looks good.

Thanks rolled1. Trimming is a bitch I do look for perfection and I made sure I trimmed the best of my abilities. If your bud doesn't smell and look inviting then you lost half the war. I also plan on making Gumby Hash with the trim.

Bud nugbong thanks. I think the shit looks awesome too. I would have liked to do a Grow Journal but I didn't want to do it knowing I couldn't devote as much time into as I would want to. But there's always next grow.

Good looking Grow and nice harvest. I got a green crack vegging for a couple more weeks, looking forward to it, great strain to smoke.

As for trimming, you will get faster and better at it, but it is always a chore, but one with a very nice payout. Just make sure you have a frosty beverage, something to smoke on and some good tunes and it will go by quick.

+rep for a good looking first grow

Looks good man!

nice grow mate..ive been reading about this strain its so hard to get the seeds theres literally no where to buy them from any way have a good smoke and what was the dry weight ?

To my knowledge Green Crack is a clone only strain. Its actually got some old story behind it from the 80's. I'm sure you can find it in one of the threads, it's a interesting read. Is it true? I'm not sure.

Looking fking great cheech! Amazing first grow dude!!!! Do you have the time to explain your drying conditions? Im sure you did the research and are doing it by the book and some, just like the rest of your grow... but would still like to hear how your doing it. Once again GREAT SHIT CHEECH congats!

Drying conditions are good. My plan was to dry everything in the tent but the Blue Dream is still in there. I'm using the cardboard box method on the Green Crack. I have each plant in their own box with a fan exhausting out stale air and humidity as it accumulates. Temps stay between 75-77F and humidity is around 33-36%. I plan on drying until the stems snap (about 5 days) then jar and cure for 3 weeks.

Hey i had a question for you. I'm a couple days away from my first harvest, and i was wondering. With the smaller nuggets to left, whats the right way to dry those? Are you going to hang each individual?..(that sounds tedious :/) i read you were using the cardboard technique? just letting them sit in a box? any elaboration would be awesome

looks like a great grow though! congrats
