New Grower My 1st Grow, A journey...

[StickMan]

Speaking of harvest and trimming. I am looking for some pointers here. I trimmed all of two baby buds so far and that was a bit of a chore. The resin is soo sticky it makes it hard to deal with and the scissors won't open after two three snips! I am sure I'll get the hang of it, but any tips are welcome!!

Well that just goes to show you, that you certainly have some VERY resinous buds on your hands, my friend. Don't let all of that nice 'scissor hash' go to waste. What we (my wife and I do) when we are trimming/manicuring is to take a razor blade and scrape the scissor hash into a empty 35 mill film container, If you do this make sure and keep the lid off or it will mold. I found out the hard way as usual. Only other thing you can do, is to wipe your blades of with Iso.

For pain it was about a 5 out of 10 my shoulder felt a good bit better the dull constant ache was diminished but the acute movement pain was not. a 4 for the insomnia, it did not help to sleep but did enable me to sleep through the night instead of waking after 4-5 hours a definite plus. It's nice to have some "smoke" again!! And it's very cool to focus in on the medical aspects.

You will get their my friend on finding the strains that will help with your personal body pain and insomnia. I'm sure that once your girls amber up well, it will help a lot more. I'm also sure the SDs, as well as some of the other Dragons will help there as well. The D99 works quite well for me, more of a day time pain med for me though due to the C99a in it. Actually the GH x C99 completely knocked out a couple of friends of mine who are long term chronic smokers. For me, it makes me want to get stuff done. We are all the same yet all different

Peace.

Good Morning Gardeners!
Brrr it's chilly when the lights are out, not too bad though. Should be better when I get the walls insulated. Will work tonight to see if I can jury rig a sealed room with another trp and a lot of duct tape. The need to harvest CC is getting stronger. I think her smell is diminishing so she is definitely ready to come down, she is also very purple, turned off the LED to check color and she is red/purple. Looks cooll, don't know if it means anything.
Thank you Brother, did not think there was an easy way! With all the resin it's going to be a bit of a chore regardless. Well like my neighbor would say "You should have such a thing to complain about!". I like the razor gathering method, should result in a little ball of goodness.
The medical aspect is facinating and the quest to find my personal best should be fun. Looking at how I feel regarding specific symptoms, pain relief etc. is a revelation. Stone Dragons are next! Should have them up in a week or three depending on BDM harvest.

Well it looks like tragedy narrowly averted. Bubba Kush from HSO, a photo period plant that I was pretty sure was male is indeed a girl! I could not bring myself do dispose of it, had it hanging around, watered it now and then. When I finished cleaning out the new spot for the tent I flashed on the idea of using a couple of 18 gallon bins as a dark room for it. Since then I have transferred it in and out of the tent at 12 hour intervals. Last night I saw definite girl pre-flowers and no boy parts. There were an incredible amount "armpits" in the node or joint areas this is one very very leafy bush of a plant. I am ordering a tent for her today. I had planned on getting another tent but not quite this soon!! I will now have two tents one for autos/vegging and one for flowering. Very psyched about it, need to decide what light I need to get.
CC and BDM looking fine and closer that ever to being ready, a surprising lack of amber but lots of milky trichomes and the leave are getting yellow. Could be taking them all down at the same time.

@dude, thanks man, any day now!!!

Picture time. Have not had much time of late busy as all get out. I will say it's nice to have a place like AFN to come to when I have a moment or two, really helps to get my mind off the day to day rigors of life and spend some time amongst friends.

Without further ado...

CC the whole thing. Getting closer by the hour!

CC Artsy shot of a side bud.

CC Main cola.

And BDM, this thing just keeps getting fatter!! Sorry about the cat hair...

Thank you all so much for the kind words and thanks!!
I have had a bit oF CC bud that dried for four days and was in a jar with a 62% Boveda pack. It was still quite sticky and soft, probably need a bit more time. I dug out one of my old pipes, wished it was a bit cleaner, and tried a bit. It was very smooth, no taste really, all I tasted was dirty pipe. Need to get myself a nice plain and simple piece of glass that I can clean between taste tests. Got one nice big lungful and no cough, nice. And boy did that knock me on my kiester!! I plan to vape almost all of the time, that and edibles, but I figured I should try a little of each by smoking. After all that's how I did it for 25 years!
BK showing female pre flowers nicely now. I now have a big bushy photo girl that has vegged for over 100 days! She's gonna big a big un.
Still have plans to cut down and harvest CC, maybe even BDM next week.
