My first time

The older lady drinks 2.5 litres of water + nutes every two days. I am thinking about drying her just a lil bit and water her every three days.

The small ones drink every 4 days.

Yes, no ones wants that bird poop nitrogen in the pipe. :grin::grin::grin:
I live in a tropical place, so lizards are common here. They always run away when I am up there. Prolly feasting with mosquitoes.

Day 53.
I can see some trichomes


Topped the small one three days ago, topped the both branches again today. Lets see what happens.
Day 19 on this one.

Day 56 and 22 respectively. Its raining again, so I threw some NPK mixture in to the small ones.

Buds are riping pretty well. Will probably feed her within a week. I wonder @George @Gpaw if I should starve her from water before I harvest? Some people say it helps. What do you guys think ?

Not something I do.
I just water normally up to the day before I harvest ( last day I don’t water)

Its on its day 59. Yesterday I sampled the flower and it was very nice. Should I wait for a couple of weeks more? I felt hungry, energized. Will it make me sleep if I keep it longer? @George @Gpaw

At the age of 4 I first time heard this song and it just stood in my mind since then. You guessed right.

The more amber the better you will zz|nullxnull, it is not easy to find the right spot, patience is needed…

Your grow is looking good. :+1:

If she is still throwing new pistils, keep her growing. When you see them slowing down and stopping (that’s more of a guideline than a rule as some genetics will show variations that will not stop popping new pistils…). that’s when to plan some harvest time.
As George said, the more amber the more of a body stone and the better you will wind down and sleep.

I like it on the early side so my target is 5% amber max.
but that can be a problem for some more sensitive folks as it can cause anxiety or panic attacks…

A staggered harvest (take some when ready and the balance a week or two later) can help you figure out what your preferences are for that particular strain.

There is an additional branch which I am smoking right now. So this flower has been so generous to me. Thanks to all who participated here, and special thanks to @George and @Gpaw for being here all the time.

Cant express my gratitude enough.

Congratulations!

Solid effort and a good win under your belt. Your next task is drying and curing.

Don’t rush. Ideal conditions (which we seldom get) are: 60%RH and 60F. after a week (or 2) the buds are ready for curing, i.e.jars or Grove bags.
Avoid drying out too fast, you want to get below 70%RH in a couple days but slowly approach 60% over the next week or so.
{Like an airplane coming into land}.

Kick back, sample your wares and plan your next adventure. :+1: :wink:

This is what I noticed in my smokes.
The very first branch, which is not in the latest picture was dried in the oven with a low temperature for over 30 minutes.

What happened is, the chemicals there got activated and my trip was extremely strong and worrying.
I got all the flashback I had 4 years ago. Questions like: - “Why am I doing this? Was it worthy?”.

Long story short, it was worrisome.
Then recently, I smoked the naturally dried one, and its completely different. I do stuff, and dont lock myself much in the couch. Completely different man.

And this thing has become tiny after drying. Disappointed.
