Thing 1

Thing 2

edit: No trich shots, my dog had a seizure while I was taking pics so I had to cut it short, and just wanted to get these posted while he's sleeping it off :\

:jaw: Speechless

.: Day 80 :.
I'm still hopeful for a Saturday harvest on Thing 1. I woke up this morning to right around 3/4 dried pistils so I'm just waiting on some amber trichomes to show up. My plan at this point is to take Thing 1 on Saturday, while I'm not an expert I can tell right now Thing 1 is at the peak by the fact that growth has now stopped, and the trichomes are all cloudy and appear to be right about to start degrading. Thing 2 is starting to cloud up but hasn't done that thing where it goes from a light frost to a blanket yet but then almost nothing about Thing 2 so far has been like Thing 1 so maybe this is just the level of frosty I'll get. Thing 1 will come down on Day 83, and tentatively Thing 2 will come down on day 90.

I got the worms in today so I made up their bin with newspaper, some of my supersoil cut with coco and happy frog as well as some oatmeal, some fan leaves I've been saving up throughout the grow, and some coffee grounds I've been saving for the last few weeks. At first my wife had made a quick bedding out of some dry newspaper and my super soil, so by the time I got home from work I had about 50 worms trying to escape the top of the box. I added everything else I just listed and put them back in the bedding, turned on the overhead light for about an hour, and so far several hours later they're all still in their bedding enjoying some oatmeal fan leaf goodness. I had read/seen a lot of people say they have a tendency to try to escape early on so I was surprised to see them settle right down once they got some good food, more bedding(moistened), and some light to discourage exploration. Long story short I'm already super happy to be taking care of these little guys, and glad I was able to give them a happy home, hopefully that holds up.

That's what I got for right now, I did some pruning of dying and wilted/brown fan leaves on both the girls today to get them away from the buds, so they more reflect the care they've had later in life and less the beating I gave the poor ladies early on. Anyway, I'll throw up some post pruning shots and probably next update on Saturday for harvest of Thing 1!!!

Damn, man! Over there killin' it, ain't you?! Shit, they look good!

Thanks man, not sure I'd go that far though If this grow were me flying a plane for the first time all of the passengers were more or less uninjured, but the landing gear, part of a wing, and the nose of the plane all snapped off when I tired to land it. :roflcry:

 

[Panic]

Ill take that that flight if i was guaranteed that was the outcome . The plants look real good.

Thanks Panic, like I was telling you, I had a really tough time getting them properly trained into a level canopy, and as they got more woody Thing 2 ended up snapping, but luckily it just turned into a super crop and ended up growing bigger than Thing 1.

Pleased to see you on the final approach, looks like it's going to be a smooth landing man. They look great

Thanks GMan, we remind you to wait until you are in the terminal to use any electronic devices.

Thanks EoF, I definitely spent nowhere near 150 dollars, I bought worms, an 18 gallon box, and some more coco. I probably won't be making enough to support a grow the size of yours but for me I'll be able to keep myself in castings indefinitely once it gets going. They double in population every 90 days so when you get ready to do yours let me know, I'll probably be able to send you the worms you'll need depending on when you plan to do it. What is touch and go btw?
