If I stagger harvest where do I cut off colas to not damage rest of plant? At the main stem?

You can cut off any bud that is ready. Be it a main (cola) or any branch. Use a clean pair of scissors and a clean cut. Cut it as far down as you believe is ready to be chopped. It is up to you how far down the stem/s to cut. Just be sure to make a cut where you have a part of the stem you can hold on to. I hate myself when I drop any bud on the floor.

Chopped her down and gave a quick trim and drying her now.

Some buds were snipped off by accident. Anyway to dry them quicker just to try?

Hopefully in week I can start the cure.

Looks like a very successful grow. Hope she smokes real good.

Well said and oh so true. I say, follow a grower here and copy them 100%. Do everything they do. Use the same strains and nutes and everything you can copy. Put plants in pots and you could have a outcome that is 100% different. You have to find a way you like to grow. Then grow it. There is a reason you want to grow. So make it happen

I use to grow in peat and used General Hydroponics ( because of the 1000's with claimed success on the web).
Then I found this site, started growing autos...then turned to coco...and lately converted to Mega Crop around Christmas.
My grows have since doubled in harvest.
For less money, less watering problems and a more user friendly experience.
Growing should be fun, not a bloody chore.


And yes epsom is used for magnesium ( which usually shows up as purple stems and twisting leaves ).

Just under my goal That's ok this was first grow and learned a lot of valuable information. Dry weight is 26 grams.

I'll wait to do official smoke report after she has had time to cure.

Testing to see if there is a difference between Mason jar curing and Grove bags curing.

Wow it's only been a week since starting cure process.

Probably premature for smoke report but I'll do it anyways and update it it changes a lot over time.

Things to keep in mind. This was my first grow, didn't have light close enough entire grow and I'm sure I screwed up a lot and buds weren't super dense. I probably harvested a week or two early also.

I used tcheck2 and it said total cabinoids were 5.8% and I tested another person's first grow who harvested few weeks early as well and had one Hermie and it was full of seeds. His tested at 7.9%.

Haven't smoked his yet (his has a few extra weeks of cure on mine too) but wife said his was an uplifting type pains effect.

Ok that's out of the way lol......
Him, and my wife both agree that the trans Siberian has a bigger effect. He doesn't know i grew mine either so not sure if that biased him at all.

I'm not at picking out flavors with my vape so I can't really comment on flavor. Wife says it tastes like weed so that's good lol.

This is definitely a go to sleep strain which I love! It's also a creeper. My friend and his wife, my wife and myself have all felt the same effect from this strain.

You start to smoke it and it starts out slow and you just feel good. 15 to 30 minutes laters you feel decent but have urge to have a little more so you pack another vape or finish joint. By the time you finish the second one your really feeling it and 15 to 30 minutes after that you can't help but think "wow I'm messed up right now, where did that come from!" Then you pass out LMAO.

What really has me intrigued is what this would be like with more curing or better yet an experienced grower! I have to assume that this would only be that much stronger had I not made my mistakes and I'm sure I would of had better yield too.

Interesting that this tested lower repeatedly on tcheck2 then friends. He thought mine was way better.

Anyways I totally recommend this strain.

For me at this stage I would say it's good for sleep and kind of forgetting the world and getting lost in thought. So this could also be a great strain for meditation.
