New Grower First grow, Royal Dwarf, UK outdoor

[Swan]

swan that 2 me is a bud you have done a super job of her mine have a couple of weeks at least to go i dont know how you want to dry your bits but brown paper bags work great i do it all in them as when i had stuff in my tent they all come down at different times so i had to keep bags out of it it may be worth you checking out

Thanks man for the advice, been reading about the paper bag thing and went out and bought some today, so when I pluck bits off the plant I'll pop em in to dry.

Cos I'm sad and overthink things I'm gonna have a bag marked "milky" and a bad marked "amber". Ambitious I know but it keeps it interesting. [emoji3]

yes throw them all in together i do just cover the bottom layer and fold the top https://www.autoflower.org/threads/drying-in-a-brown-bag.19673/ i just followed all the tips on there even mackys bags would work i think its better for small amounts

Quick update as it's late and I'm tired.

Did some selective harvesting tonight. We've got some milky and some amber.

Couldn't decide how to dry so I'm trying it all....

I've got some wet trimmed and in brown bags.
I've got some untrimmed hanging that I'll dry trim.
I've also got some umtrimmed in bags that I'll dry trim too.

Might regret it but we'll see.

Hope to do a more thorough update at weekend.

Here's some harvest pics for now.

Cheers

you have some great nugs there swan i prefer wet trim to dry as the leaves dry into and curl in on a large amount it can be a pain id leave them in the bag for 3 days and then you can monitor a bit more then you should be proud pal

Day 77: Nothing to report.

We may as well be living at the bottom of the ocean cos everything has been wet for about 4 days now.

Since my initial harvest and the selection of bits earlier in the week I found rot on some of the stuff I had pulled. No wonder really considering how wet it's been.

Tonight I got the microscope all over Dwarfy and the trichomes all seem to remain at milky, no amber whatsoever. Buds seem fuller though.

I did find what looked like rot in a few places so I've cut that out too just to be sure. Chucking bud was not easy to do but I'd rather have a little of something than all of nothing!

Feeding has gone to shit this week cos of all the rain she's had a soaked pot most days.

Praying for some sun this week and maybe we can chop the rest!

Also been planning what to do with the other 2 seeds in the pack. I'd like to do one in a PC case but the missus not keen on having it in the house so that's fair enough, gotta respect her wishes. I think I might build a little cabinet in the the shed and give one a crack in there!

No pics, sorry.

Yeah I need to seriously think about pulling it.

It's this bloody rain, so close to the finish line!

Might be able to stick it under shelter for just a couple more days then chop on my day off on Thursday.

Update at 6pm home from work.
Awful weather today, looks like a couple of tomato plants have snapped in the wind and my sunflower has had a couple of side branches torn off too

Dwarfy is wet so gonna shake her off and make a little lean too for protection tonight if I get time in the hectic schedule!

Day 78: Going undercover.

Shit weather today. As I said earlier a couple of my tomatoes got blown over and snapped, as did a couple of sunflower branches.

I've made some primative cover for Dwarfy from clear heavy polythene sheet to at least stop her getting drenched! Thursday will be my next opportunity to harvest and I think I'll just do the lot.

Late again in the evening but here she is keeping dry under cover...

My green garden lights give some pretty cool evil shadows!

Been thinking about the other 2 seeds, still keen on 1 in the shed. I've still got the 150w CFL and plenty of material to build a ventilated box in there..... Or I could be lazy and just buy a tent!
