Took down much of my SIPs tent on Friday day 65F. Here’s the before
and after:
All that’s left are Bandaid Haze ix3 “The Church” on the left
Bandaid Haze #7 behind that in the back left corner:
and a tiny replacement Triangle Kush put in there as a clone after performing surgery on the plants that had that soil issue.
They all look about 2-3wks behind where I expected them, probably because of surgery shock. So instead of day 65F, they look more like day 42-49F to me. They’re a little ragged, but prolly as good as can be expected given the stress they went through at the end of week 2 of flower.
Enough about them. How about some harvest pics and notes?
Lavender Jack - extreme Jack Herer, herbal citrus & berry candy terps that somehow (thankfully) don’t make it thru the carbon filter, this one was 5-10% amber at day 60F which is when I wanted to harvest, but life got in the way. That extra 5 days did make a noticeable difference in size, as they continued swelling.
Tahoe OG - developed an astringent smell overtop the earthiness, dries down to a citrusy earthy smell a few minutes after touching some of the very sticky sugar leaves. This one is a gnat magnet. Flopped everywhere and stopped drinking a week or so ago, but a very pretty plant.
SR-71 - she just didn’t like my style at all. Extremely floppy branches, low odor of maybe purple stone fruit? or something, the lower branches actually looked much better than the tops even though they were getting like 50ppfd. The tops were only getting like 500-600ppfd so I don’t know. She started senescing and didn’t drink anything the last two weeks so I said F it. Still kinda pretty, but man did the gnats like her! I didn’t even see hardly any fliers and yet her lowers caught quite a few.
Irene - she’s an unusual plant, but I like her so far. This is going to sound weird, but she smells a little like a grilled brat, topped with kraut and onions, sprayed with old lady perfume. Emphasis on the perfume up front, but all that other complex stuff underneath. She enjoyed being in the SIPs more than she liked being in a pot, but for some reason stopped swelling or putting out new pistils around the end of week 5 or 6, and then didn’t grow very much. Still pretty, but she has very brittle stems that snap with no pressure whatsoever. Turned out less Bubba-like in structure but more Bubba-like in the calyx/bract morphology in my setup @Cannavore , and actually looked more similar to Giesel from my last round. No buds on leaf petioles or other weirdness other than she threw some single-blade leaves the first two weeks of flower, but then snapped out of it.
Legend OG - last but not least, this plant’s a BEAST! The Legend looks and smells ridiculously good! It has an ultra dank weed and lemony vibe, combined with a little chemmy funk. It’s not overly loud until you disturb it, but it has some serious funk AND junk in the trunk! Thiccccc lol! She’s so heavy, for the first time with any indoor harvest I honestly thought the plastic hanger might break - that’s not even an exaggeration. Hope this one smokes good, cuz she’s got everything else.
Sorry for the shit phone camera pics…at least it gets the color temp right. DLSR is dying/dead so this is the best I could do. I’ll report back when I start trimming in a couple weeks.
