BigMike55’s Ongoing Cannabis Log (Part 1)

Sounds good. It’s a smart idea harvest ing one a day. No need to rush threw the trim job. I got another set of hands when I get done mine. Still takes an hour per one of my plants. It’s fun at first. It turns into a job quick.

Haha! Yes it does. It’s all worth it when you see all that fresh bud all jarred up.
Yeah that was the idea when harvest time came. One a day that way when I start the trim, I can trim one a day. I am an early riser, so I can have coffee, listen to news, and trim, before breakfast. 6:00 am every day. Guess it’s military and then punching time clock every day for 50 years kinda sets a routine. One I would like to break! Haha!

Ok… here we grow again!
After my harvest I cleaned up the tent and equipment. Deciding my layout I looked at my clones. Pretty lil things still in beer cups and needed repotting. 4 of them.


So got that done and placed in the tent along with my 4 White Widow plants. These seeds were supposed to be feminized. Gifted from a longtime friend.
Here it is thus far. Start week 1 of Veg.

Probably put those White Widows in 5 gal bags next week if they remain healthy. They are already in veg and have been topped once. Bad timing on my part. Got caught between a finishing grow and timing my next grow using 1 tent. Its ok tho. Still calling this week 1 of the grow.

Also utilizing the extra tent space for starting pepper seedlings to go outside in spring.

A man with a plan. Good organization skills. All ready to grow. I’m going to use you of an example of how I need to start my grows. Keep them always moving.

Well… There’s not much action in the new grow. 2 of the White Widow are outpacing everything else. I cracked the growing tips of those 2 to try and slow them down a bit. Let the others catch up a bit.
My harvest was pretty decent.
For Colas and smokeable Buds I got 112 grams, 119 grams, and 110 grams of the three plants. Plus 80 grams of good trim.
So total is 341 grams of Colas and Buds and 80 grams of trim for 421 grams from 2 Mars Hydro Ts1000 at 150 watts each. That 1.4 grams per watt.
I did smoke a little of the larfy junk. I got a very nice buzz and boy high from each, but I am sure the Colas and Buds will be much nicer after cure.

That’s awesome man. I’m glad you got there 1.5 per watt. Closer then what I have gotten so far.

The Colloidal silver projet may be coming along`too. I’m seeing more and more 'nanners and some of the hairs on the receiver plant have started going brown.

My next trick is keeping the new babies alive. We are having the worst weather in years. Probly nothing to my Canadian friends. Hell I was born and raised in Boston. I know cold. Here in Oklahoma we are having below zero temps (F•) and -20 degree wind chills. 8+ inches of snow yesterday and expecting 8 more tomorrow. We never have weather that rough here. Not in winter. Our bad season is Spring with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
So my plants are in a tent in my garden workshop/shed. It has been Ok. I have one of the radiant oil heaters and that has been keeping it warm enough. I have the thermostat set to 67 degrees F. It has been averaging day/night in the tent of 58/79. With this ultra cold, I don’t know. The shop is raised above ground by about a foot or so. I am thinking the wind blowing above the building and below will really test that little heater. We’ll see.

Those look firm and plump.
Gonna need a smoke report. I’m guessing sweet, earthy and potent??
Looks awesome .

They do look nice. Is the first one the Blue Cookies? What are the other two? All of the strains I’ve been reading about got my brain all jumbled up.
I know the Blue Cookies and the Afghani. What was the other one?

It’s damn cold everywhere I’m sure they will pull through .
I had some temps go to 45 at night for a couple days. No problem .

Just as long as it don’t freeze you should be good. Slows growth from my experience. I would put my culled plants outside and see how long it took em to die during the beginning of winter.

Ok so the first 2 are Blue Cookies. If you zoom in they are very dark purple. They taste very sweet on the exhale especially like some type of Berry not quite grapey but not quite blueberry-y the head is not the best but is still very good, but the body really feels this bud nicely and it comes pretty quick with a couple of small bong rips The second 2 are from the same batch of Blue Cookies as the first. They are not near as purple. Buds are not as dense either the stink on this one is to me a little rank smelling to my nose like a chemically smelling pair of dirty panties this bud gives a better buzz but about the same body reaction as her sister, above I just assume I have 2 phenols of the Blue Cookies The third 2 are the Afghani. It was a much smaller plant but the buds were like rocks. And lots of them. They just never got very long. But fatness prevailed. After drying some are like golf balls She smells a lot like flower shop flowers but more spicier than just flowers. Fnckin’ awesome plant, she was. Her taste is very earthy and spicy flavored. The head buzz is very good and one small bong bowl will kick my ass pretty bigly.

Ohh. I was going to ask what I won on “THAT BUD IS RIGHT” but being right on a 50/50 shot don’t sound that impressive.
I’m really excited to see the White Widows grown out. I’ve been eyeing them but never got them since early 2000s.

Depending on how my colloidal silver project turns out (as far as seed production goes) I may take one of the Widows and try to make feminized seeds with CS again. Don’t know why that interests me, but it does. Maybe I can nail down that whole process and get a load of feminized White Widow beans to give away.
