Scarlet Grapes in buckets 🍇

[RainToday]

Looking gorgeous! I always feel like it’s a good sign when they get frosty all over even the sugar leaves.
Little bit wondering now whether removing the fan leaves increases that…

Chernobyl baby lookin’ nice and Minty

I always take a lot of leaves, but I don’t always get this much frost. I’m going to attribute it to genetics.
I do love when they are covered in sparkle.

Day 89 looking delicious.

Chernobyl doing ok. I’m going to test the water, it’s not growing like I like. And the baby SLWTCPP doing sprout stuff

[Going2fast]

Beautiful. looks all cloudy. Autos don’t amber up like photos do. Absolutely sparkly​:heart_eyes:

[Hashpants]

Godspeed ,little squiggy! ( SLWCTPP is no name for a youngun).

[DirtySlowToes]

Excellent work, my friend. Got me SUPER excited to see how mine finish up! Some damn fine genetics

Huh.

I never realized this. I’ve been thinking maybe I take my plants too early.

[RainToday]

Same! I resorted to a partial harvest test when I was starting out (autos). One cola every week off the same multi-branched plant for 4 weeks. Then a smoke test. Mum liked it best at the just barely all cloudy stage. I’ll see a few gold trichomes on the sugar leaves, but only maybe 5%.

I’ve left some auto buds making seed for 6 weeks after fertilizing post-harvest, I’m pretty sure those all went gold but she tried the finger hash off them and potency was half or less what it had been - a drop from maybe 20%thc to smoking a pea sized ball of finger hash and hardly feeling it.

Then I harvested most of my first photoperiod crop too early because I went for the same indicator. So yeah, I think it’s a thing. I left some photoperiods to mature last time, and they stayed in the cloudy with a tiny bit of amber stage for weeks getting fatter. They just aren’t in a hurry like autos.

Looking great my friend.
I think the most common harvest window for the Scarlet Grapes is D85-95. But yeah, Phil went the distance. And I’ve taken at day 73.
As for the amber subject. Yes, autos are weird like that. I’ve had autos showing little to no amber around my proposed harvest time. Them boom! 50% overnight lol. This is also a possibility.

I’m about to chop this plant down.

I’ve decided to get a cannatrol. I got a bonus at work and I’m going to spend it on weed toys. I lost a beautiful Jilly Bean x white widow to mold and I was so, so pissed. So once I make it out to the shop I think I’ll chop the one.

The other is obviously slower, but is stacking up nicer. It needs at least 2 more weeks. It’s barely done throwing pistols.

Lucky you!
My wife would likely kill me.

I am the wife

[blowdout2269]

Oh yeah. Duh.
I have such a hard time remembering the smaller number of female regulars around here.
Thanks for the reminder!

[Going2fast]

Autos will keep throwing new pistols if they are getting too much ferts or too intense light. Guilty of both. I go mostly cloudy on autos. Love the structure on yours.

[AppalachianBiscuits]

I wondered about this as well because they do seem to throw pistols for.ever.

I’m glad you said this, I’ve been “wait and see” about my late flower nutes and that helps me make a decision. I’ve got something to try now for my next grow.

The lighting is still a shroud of mystery. I think they are too high, but maybe no? Lights have always been my big challenge indoor growing

[RainToday]

Mostly I see pistols forever, but a few such as my favorite BB#3 plant have done one enormous flush of pistils and that’s it. I fertilize, remove all flowers, give good light, and they just fold up and croak without making me a single seed. Others I’ve had throw not just pistils but a whole new branch or two.

[AppalachianBiscuits]

Cannatrol is scheduled to be delivered Wednesday! I’ll chop at least the one then. I’ll have to take another look at the second. I suppose as long as it can wait 8 days it will give the first time to dry them I can swap plants.

I super excited about the Cannatrol, I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews. Very ready to simplify the dry and cure process.

[Pawsfodocaws]

Hm was the cannatrol? They sound sick!!! I need

[blowdout2269]

You really haven’t read this?

Cannatrol users

I decided to start this thread for all the OG members who own a Cannatrol to shoot the breeze, exchange settings and answer questions for OG members. There was quite a melee in one other Cannatrol thread, and it’s not needed here. If you think you’ve figured it out with your DIY “wine fridge” good for you, there is no need to bash any of us who have taken the leap to a “set it and forget it” approach to dry/cure our crops. Here are some options that exist in the “home/craft” dry/cure arena. N…
