Indoor Mz.W's perpetual grow...grow journal

[wheredaweedat]

You can consider Auto Acid harvested. No idea on the wet weight for either of my latest crops.
But I'll tell ya, just harvesting her was enough to get ya buzzed lol I brought her to the living room to harvest cause there's better light and a little table I could spread a garbage bag out on to catch the trim/any lost trics. Moral of that story is that m y entire living room stunk to the high heavens for the rest of the night lol She's in the closet hanging now at 47% RH and 75F.
This is her right before I carted her upstairs to hang.Her main is a beast man, with them 3 lil bumpkins all in a row haha
:crap:


I did end up putting FB back in the closet on the make-shift drying rack yesterday afternoon. This morning she was significantly crisp so I re-jarred her with a 62% Boveda pack. Ive got a dentist appointment (ug) in 2 hours so i'll keep checkin her before I go, but i'm 99% sure that she won't need any more trips to the closet. And if I do say so myself, she smells SO GOOD. lol
the RH going from 26% (where it was for AM2) to damn near a steady 50%, has REALLY made the difference. I can't forsee FB being more than 1/2oz at best, so a solid 4.5 day dry in almost ideal conditions in comparison to 1.5-2 days with shoddy conditions (hahahahaha. Chandy- the silly American said shoddy =p)
...If any noob growers approaching harvest come across this journal, I cannot stress this to you enough. MAKE SURE YOUR DRYING CONDITIONS ARE AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS YOU CAN GET THEM!! lol Seriously. If you don't want your end product to smell like and taste like a horse stable (aka like hay lol) then please. do what you gotta do to get your drying area proper! AM2 smelled really nice when I harvested her, and with shoddy conditions- in less than 12 hours the entire surrounding room smelled of hay. It was VERY unfortunate. So if yo' sheet ain't right - JUST SAY NO lol

Im about to sneak a taste of her shhhhhhhh lol

 

[wheredaweedat]

So now that FB and AA have been harvested, were down to one plant in the garden.
And...well...we just CANT have that lol.

Started to germ 1 seed about an hour ago....to the minute actually, damn lol. I went with what I had the most of, and thats the Dr Green Seeds Critical+ AutoFem. This should turn out to be a learning experience as this strain by this breeder is grossly undocumented.
Got a thread up in the NG forum as Im thinking of doing some soil/coco mix experiments, if you will.
I only decided to do one because IDK where big devil is gonna go. Shes already biiig (still havent measured her yet...went up there to do it earlier and she was already aseepin - go figure.) and once she starts to flower, she'll stretch a bit, i'm sure. Just wondering exactly how big shes going to get. The bottom most portion of her already fills the entirety of the 5 gallon bucket...Starting to worry about head room with the current set up. Might actually end up needing to put hooks in the ceiling and hanging the HPS from that cause of that dumb dumb dummy-head shelf lol. She's growing very much like an indica though...very squat looking. Her name is now Olga lol This is Olga last night -


AA is coming along in her dry process splendidly.


Thought that I'd done a rather good job trimming her, but when I was taking pictures earlier today....not so much lol She's still hairy and stinky as ever though.


ugggg sooo close! lol 48% RH 74F. BAH.


FB is fantastic as is, but there is no doubt in my mind she will only benefit from a good cure.
Im proud of this one :smoke:

I made a small party foul while making my canna-butter with the trim from FB. I took her off the burner after about 90 minutes and put her onto another (so I had burners avail. cause i was making dinner). FORGOT TO TURN IT ON lol. *smacks head* so I strained her, squeezed any excess out and put it in the fridge. Then what, like 2 or 3 days later I put it BACK on the stove, added a little bit more butter, and added the trim and some popcorns from AA. Cooked her for 3 hours, and its been chilling in the fridge ever since. I hope I didn't screw it up too much.

We shall see my friends, we shall see

Day 23 update

Hello random AFN passers by :tiphat:

Soil was ordered yesterday and will be here tomorrow. I didnt get any replies in the NG forum about my coco questions...probably because I was high and completely overlooked the actual coco section lol But in any case, K had ordered the soil from the amazon cart and didn't tell me so I was wiggin' out, trying to get everything figured out with the soil/coco mix. But I dont have to worry about it anymore cause the germinating seed as made little to no progress thus far, so im 99% the soil will be here before it needs to be planted lol.

Olga is doing good. Big, but good...and you know what they say, go big or go home . She's got that same strange W formation that FB did....and when I harvested FB she had those immature pop corn buds, if you will, all the way down to the ground on her main stem. Im starting to wonder if thats something Im gonna have to prepare for with Olga too. Would LST really be the only way I would be able to get light to that part of the plant?? Perhaps I'd be able to get away with just tucking away her giant effin fans lol. Can you harvest an auto in the same way you can a photo? And by that I mean, can you take the tops and leave the lower section to mature further, or no because of the stress factor?
Finally got some quick measurements off her last night, though the outside parts of the W are taller than her main now. Last night the center of her measured about 6" tall....which in theory isn't very big...until you measure the width of her. From leaf tip to leaf tip, she came in at a whoppin' 16.25". So she's more than filled the width of the bucket lol.

those yellow-ey orange-y lines are the W. STFU ITS THE BEST W YOU'VE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE lol
I circled a few spots on this next shot. I've seen it on some of my plants before, but it never seemed to become an issue and/or somehow worked itself out lol. So of course, what else do i do but turn to google first before I make a federal case out of it on AFN lol. Google is leading me to other forums that say heat stress.
Buuuuuut...without the HPS on and the AC hooked to the intake it's been relatively on the cool side. I don't know exactly because the hydrometer/thermometer has been in the drying room to make sure it stays where it should.
BUT I took AA from the closet and jarred her for good about an hour ago smoke so i'll put it back in the garden (ha. I love calling it a garden lol) tonight. But I honest to goodness do not forsee how it could be heat stress. Especially with CFL, that are AT LEAST a foot away.
I'm thinking pH....anyone??

 

[dazedandconfuzed]

Don't some leaves naturally do that? I thought with heat stress the whole leaf would cup not just the edges? I've no idea just putting it out there

Dazed..

 

[AndyBotwin]

Those wrinkles are usually pH but sometimes it just seems to be natural growth of the plant. Nothing to be too concerned about unless you see other problems. :thumbs:

Those buds look so sweet.

 

[wheredaweedat]

Those buds look so sweet.

thank you thank you! They stink in a serious way too lol Ive already stolen a taste...or two...from her and she is fan-fucking-tastic. Very happy I still have one more bean of her particular strain.

As always, sir Botwin, good call, good call

life updates for days 1 and 25

Last night was roughly 24 hours after planting the Dr. Green critical+.
When I checked on them I could just barely see her trying to break the surface. I resisted any and all temptation to help it along in any sort of way lol. When I woke up this morning, on my way downstairs to the Keurig, lol, I stopped to check on the girls. I lifted the make-shift, rigged up milk jug humidity dome lol, and to my surprise I'd had a baby! haha.
Im a little bit blown away for how big she is for being less than 12 hours old. I mean. Please. Don't get it twisted, lol. she didnt come out of the womb 13 years old with a cigarette and a sidekick (lmao. little katt williams reference [video=youtube;9td_XXjPK8g]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9td_XXjPK8g[/video]) tall or anything, lol but in my limited experience growing, the first day they break the soil, typically, they don't have quite the stem that this one has. I only used one CFL to get her to pop (break soil) and it was super close to the top of the humidity dome...especially by comparison to the distance of and amount of light that the others had.
Perhaps Dr Green wasn't lying when saying that their AF strains get pretty big. *shrug* They say it can get up to 2ft indoors. In a 5L pot. Possible? We shall see. One of the downfalls of growing, yet again, another strain that no one has documented lol


Olga is also doing well and getting bigger....by the second, im pretty sure lol

So she's about 1ft tall, and from leaf tip to leaf tip she's 19".


This is her sad broken snapped stem It seems like its soo far down in comparison to when it happened lol It used to be RIGHT THERE. now you gotta "dig" for it lol.

EDIT:: for my own personal reference, lol i might be on day 26. Buuuutt...its only a day. I honestly dont think it matters lol
