First Grow - Here We Go - SPACE.U beans

SkyDog · August 4, 2018, 2:41am

I know we are getting close now so I am trying to look at trich’s to see the differences. Three girls born the same day but maturing at ever so slightly different rates. # 1 appears to have some pistils turning brown. # 2 still looks like almost all her pistils are still off white. # 3 is the farthest along with more browning of pistils than #1. (# 2 was the last to show her sex). I have never seen plants this close before and am only going by what I have read, but these photos seem to validate my assumptions, based on clarity. Three sets of photos follow:

Here is # 1…(she seems to be right in the middle, maturity wise)

.
Here is # 2…(She is the least mature, tallest, and last to show her sex)
.
.

.
Here is # 3…(most mature looking)

One of the girls has slowed her uptake of water. The other two are still thirsty. Some of today’s photos with observations below…

The shot below shows the more mature plant on the left. Pistils are browning leaves around the bud getting some pretty colors. Plant on the right is still sucking up lots of water so will be a little behind.

Most mature below.

Middle maturity below

Least mature below.

I am not sure about any of this. Just IMHO. As far as the trichomes go, I am not seeing a lot of difference between the three plants yet except that the least mature is the only one with any clear trichomes left.

How does one put it?

They are pulling into the station.

Playing their last hand.

Pouring through childhood memories.

Just about done.

Looks like a nearly perfect first run.

These plants are only slightly more happy about that than I am.

I was just telling the wife today how stoked I was. I told her that there could not have been a better experience with these beans.

I know there is still more work to go. Looking forward to harvest, trim, and cure now. Definitely want to wet trim. Wondering if it is best to hang to dry or place some screens and stacked? It’s all new territory for me…

I prefer to wet trim and hang. I lack a great drying system, so I hang them in the flower tent, away from the light and near the air filter.

Well, the harvest is on. Drying time.

SkyDog · August 11, 2018, 11:59pm

Some post harvest photos

99PerCent · August 12, 2018, 12:49am

Yup, I am going to grow some of these out for sure.

Wow… Really nice look stuff. Impressive!

Maybe I’ll pop 4 of these with the 4 space cookies… I figured between those 8 and 4 cherry,Durban I’ll end up with six or so females to flower… That should be a fun canopy… Lol

Wow @SkyDog. Those crystals… Mm mm mm…

I hope I find similar results. I have four of these now that just broke soil.

Got a smoke report yet?

SkyDog · August 22, 2018, 11:54pm

Coming soon…I decided to put the harvest in some paper bags before I went out of town for 7 days. Just got back today and put them in the jars to cure. Smoked a bowl of the shake that I had on the counter after transferring to jars and got a nice buzz. Still tasted a little green but good. Saving judgement on the buds until cured.

Can’t wait to see what comes out of that grow!

Tinytuttle · August 23, 2018, 2:52am

Nice looking buds @SkyDog! Great job on your grow!

ReikoX · August 23, 2018, 3:40pm

Glad that course of action worked out for you. If you find they got too dry, I like to rehydrate them by putting a couple of fresh fan leaves in the jar.

Fewding · August 23, 2018, 4:10pm

You’re chocked full of tips and tricks aren’t you? I’ve got a few of your posts bookmarked lmao. We need a dedicated topic dude.

99PerCent · August 23, 2018, 11:34pm

We got one.

SkyDog · August 24, 2018, 11:39pm

No words needed…

99PerCent · August 24, 2018, 11:40pm

However, when full of illustrative narrative, words are gobbled up too.

How do they taste?

Happy to say this little girl (Lady #3) is coming along nicely. The pictured bud just got ground up and loaded into the pipe. (Actually the first bud I’ve tasted. Nothing but shake before this.)

I’m really impressed with her! One toke, wait a minute, and then she starts creeping up on you. Hits up high, then kinda drops through the body after a few minutes more.

This was the most fragrant of the three after the first week of drying but was also the last harvested, probably 24 hours later than the first one. I think she still tastes a little green. Going to keep burping the jars a couple times a day for the next few days and then again after I return from a few days away. If one stout hit is all it takes to medicate, then I am not really in any hurry to push them along.
