New Grower My 1st Grow, A journey...

CC looks stellar. The colors on her are exceptional. Very rich , and intense looking. To think in just a couple weeks you'll be lighting her on fire:smoke:.

Great idea about the ona, I totally forgot to bring it up. We have company on a semi regular basis. I have 3 ona buckets (way overkill, but that's how I roll). 5 gallon lowes buckets with holes.drilled along the sides (along the top). Mount a small Honeywell fan on the bucket facing downward. The bucket is filled with absorbent polymer crystals that you pour a diluted solution of ONA concentrate/Water into the bucket. One outside the tent always, and one that you can run elsewhere in the house immediately after working in the tent.

I also picked up a battery backup power supply, which is meant to run computers for like 20 minutes following power outages (to backup your work). To prepare for the inevitable outage of power which would render our filters useless, I can hookup my on a buckets to keep things reasonable for a few hours... Last thing I need is to have the smell pouring out of the house in peak flower...

I find it best to be paranoid and over prepared. I have to enter my tent 2 sometimes 3 times a day to water my coco plants. Without the ONA the woman woukd have my head... atleast now it's only noticeable while I work on them...

The blocks are good, but depending on the extent of your odor problem, it may not be enough. If it isn't, make an on a bucket too. Odor really is the most dangerous part about growing so I understand their concern. It's a battle we will likely face forever... Christ, I have to change my clothes and shower after working with my girls if I will be seeing anybody afterwords. We will never win, it's all about damage control.
 
You are doing a awesome job man! Kinda jelly :(
Love the CC and all those little red/brown hairs all over the bud looks like its going to be some dank as smoke!

Day 86 BDM Day 59
Temp 71 RH 30

When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad
Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized
That I was havin' .. no fun

But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun

Mmmmmm M! Can't wait till my plants get to that stage! It makes me salivate just looking!!
 
Announcement!!
Sitting here watching the AFC semi-finals, couple of Larry IPA's under my belt. The wife and I were talking about my grow, I was saying how CC is getting close, and she was like "Is that the stinky one?". I tried to get a good look at her trichomes but it's very hard with her in the tent. So I have made the decision to trim one of the good sized lower buds today. This will allow me to check the trichs out and dry it so I can SMOKE SOME OF THIS BAD GIRL!!! WooHoo! Words cannot express the excitement, truly. I am ordering my vaporizer shortly and hope to have it by next weekend for the trial. I plan to put it in a paper bag and put it in a corner of my tent for proper drying. Pictures of the bud to follow, stay tuned!
 
As promised here are the pictures.
Closer examination revealed nice textbook trichomes. No amber, 20-25%cloudy, the rest clear and bright. Stinky little bugger too. It's hard to get a good sense of the trichomes from a photograph unless it's close, close-up. I haven't figured out exactly how to do that just yet.
I ordered myself a Magic Flight Launch Box vaporizer. It should should be here by the end of the week. I will be sure to review it for you all.
So here they are.
This is a tiny bud from inside the plant close to the stem about 1/3 the way up to the top.

The bud as cut.

John Prine brings back memories from years ago. I'm trying to remember some of his stuff now. BTW nice grow
 
wwwillie my main man!

That bud is so frosty, I'm stating to get the shivers!:drool:

Good work man, i hope this trial smoke is great for you after all the hard work you put into the plant!:tiphat::clap:

and if that just a little bud i wonder what the main cola will look like!

great photos as-well! i love your improvised bud stand, great thinking. also i'm not sure if its just me, but that lavender coloured background really makes the pictures look great and the colours of the bud pop.

cant wait to see the rest of the plant!

great work wwwillie, best of luck to you

peace, :peace:
