Dutch Passion Medical SCROG: Compassion, CBD Kush and Night queen with LED

Day 107/83

The CBD Kush and the Night queen have been ready to come down for a week already, I just didn't get the chance to take them down due to having visitors over. I just took down the CBD Kush yesterday and I plan on taking down the Night Queen today. I'm just harvesting the top part of the cola, leaving the lower part/popcorn to mature a bit longer.

Before I took the CBD Kush down I snapped a bunch of pictures of course.

All together

Some of the smaller buds started flopping over.

Here you can see the bleaching from the light. The leaves closest to the light are completely fried from calcium def.

Main cola

I've seen a decent amount of amber trichomes, probably 10-20% depending on where you look.

Compassion

The compassion is also starting to put on weight, it looks like it could easily go another couple of weeks though.

Stunning! You have some seriously swollen buds there, happy days!

I love that macro shot, get that blown up and stick it on the wall.

Thanks Derek, much appreciated! Yes, happy days indeed, the CBD Kush should be ready to go into jars for curing tomorrow.

I took down the Night queen as well. The Night queen couldn't quite keep up with its sisters height wise so it got partially buried in the canopy. Once I'd harvested the CBD Kush the Nigh Queen buds became more visible. They're a bit smaller than the CBD Kush's but they sure look frosty enough.

Main cola, weighed in the same as the CBD Kush main cola even though it looked smaller the buds are pretty dense.

I noticed a little bit of purpling towards the end, it's been a bit too hot for serious purpling.

I like how some of the sugar leaves have trichomes on both sides all the way to the tip.
 
Thanks mate, I really appreciate that! I'm pretty happy with the photos myself, that ring light was easily the best photography investment I've made.

I have the main colas from the Night queen and CBD Kush curing in jars. I didn't get a chance to harvest the lower buds yet due to having visitors and not being able to get away. They've left now so I will start cutting down the Compassion and remains of NQ and CBDK. It will probably be another few weeks before I have the total dry weight. I've got to start preparing the next grow as well. I'm doing four new to me strains this time so I'm excited about that. The line-up will be Mazar, CBD Skunkhaze, Ortega Indica and Masterkush.

One good thing this grow is that I didn't find any bud rot. Running the AC and de-humidifier pretty much constantly for the last 3 weeks really paid off. Last year I had to toss 30-40g from my summer grow due to bud rot.

Brilliant dude i may met myself one of those light rings at some stage.
I delighted that you got no bud rot man the dehumidifier can really help that.
What kind of dehumidifier did you settle on in the end?
Oh im looking forward to this MasterKush, i have only seen Tang growing it so far.
 
First I bought a desiccant de-humidifer similar to the one you have but it broke after one week. When I went to replace it they didn't have any more in stock so I went for a compressor model from delonghi, the DES14. It was a good choice in the end as it works great in summer when it's hot (it usually pulls more than 3l per day), doesn't work that well when it's cooler but then I usually don't need it as the outside air is dry enough.
During the hottest days the AC did the bulk of the de-humidification as it's more powerful at 700W vs. 200W for the de-humidifer. By placing the de-humidifier in front of the tent and letting it blow dry air directly into the inlet of the tent it drops the RH another 8-10%.

I'm really drawn to heavy indicas so I'm really excited about the Masterkush as well.

Really looking forward to seeing what you can do with those strains! Especially the CBD skunkhaze as i have some seeds - just working out when to fit them in!
 
I just took down the remaining part of the CBD Kush. The outside temperatures have dropped and I noticed quite a bit more purpling so I snapped a couple of shots. I still have to take down the Compassion and the rest of the Night Queen as they're pretty ripe by now.
