New Grower Starting off in coco with Autoseeds GSC

[oldnewbdude]

I'm struggling to get the big one across the finish line. The stress of the lights is really starting to show on some of the upper most leaves. I moved her around a little in the tent and tried to get the light away from the tallest branches. She's drinking like crazy and as a result I've had to back way down on nutrients, tips are getting burnt even down low. I'm gunna have to support some branches soon, she's falling out of the door when I open the tent. At least I'm starting to see frost and some pistils going dark. Hopefully within the next few weeks...


As the first one dries the buds are all looking pretty larfy. Im sure she suffered from being so far below the big one, not enough light at the most critical part of flower. The hash from it is tasty and potent so maybe it will at least be good smoke if not the densest nugs ever.

The first plant is broken down and in the jar. By my calculation looks like 76 grams~2.5 oz total. Super fluffy airy but sample smoked nice. Forgot to tare the tub first oops so subtract 37.8g from each batch in the photos for the real weight.

Nice. And this was the smaller one right? How much trim did you get for that bubble you ran the other day?

Oh yeah I totally forgot the popcorn. It was a 9x13 inch kinda tub full. Like baking dish size. No idea how much it was though lol. And yeah thats the smaller one. Big girls still rolling along.

I see cloudy trichomes starting to happen, the end is getting closer. Still plenty of fresh pistils especially in the lowers so she's got at least another week yet. I'm determined she's coming down by 17 weeks. Glad I stuck this girl out, she's gunna make it worth the time but I definitely didn't expect her to go this long or get this big. Had she had more room I think she could have been an absolute tree. She's all strapped in for the end of the ride, the side that wasn't crammed against the wall when she shared the tent is definitely heavier and has more flowers.

I finally pulled her down. I couldn't look at her anymore, 114 days was enough. Really hoped to get pics of her out of the tent before harvest but the branches snapped under the weight as soon as I took her out. Will be a nice yield I think. Lots of small buds saved for bubble making and some big old spears hanging to dry.

Wow 114 days. What was the breeders suggested seed to harvest time? At least you got a nice harvest of some primo smoke.

70-75 days. I expected to be longer than the breeder quoted since I'm new at it but not quite that long. There is most certainly an upside to the monster phenotype. Just wasn't prepared.

Jarred the second plant. Buds still kinda airy on this one too. Very "sativa" string of pearls kinda nugs, awful leaf to calyx ratio just like the first girl. With her size of course she yielded better, 155g~5.5oz. Don't have my drying process nailed yet, drying a little faster than I want but I'll get there. Made a batch of bubble off the first tub of small buds, looks better than my first batch of hash. Still not a great yield but I'm trying not to get greedy with stirring, going for quality over quantity. Vaped a bit of the 73mu(in the pic) and holy shit it's strong and tasty, sweet, earthy, funk/skunk and a lil overripe fruit. Hoping these buds will cure out to a similar flavor.

First plant is about 2.5 weeks in the jars and starting to reek of fuel and earth with those same overripe fruit undertones. It smokes strong. Like fly you to the moon, pressure on your face, leave you bleary eyed and confused. I ain't 100% sure I like it yet but I keep stealing pieces. Cerebral and even racy at first but go too hard and you're going down.
