Cheers mate, I'm feeling a bit lost now I don't have a grow on. The room is deathly quiet and much colder. I feel like switching on the LEDs for old times sake.Fat buds. Great grow
Thank you HH... and a big CHEERS for the rep points as well mate.... I always appreciate these!Much respect [emoji110] Awesome result [emoji1303]
HH
Cheers Hope Bro.... I really can't believe how the Amnesia did that.... all eyes were on the Widow!Stellar growing man. Out of this world results. Congratulations.
OK so I have finally finished this grow.
The room is silent - the only fans I can hear are the ones on the Premiership football. The Hammers will be getting their arses kicked by Chelski tomorrow night, so I've been watching other games as a neutral - listening really, as I've been busy clipping buds.
I have had the White Widow and Blue Amnesia hanging since the chop earlier this month, and today I have removed the dried buds from the stems, and jarred them in Mason Jars with Boveda 62 packs, for curing.
Looks like some of this haul will spend a lot more than a month curing, cos there's just shit loads of gear!
Here, at last, are the final weights........ drum roll please......
First the White Widow.... the plant that has been the centre of attention this grow, a huge girl choc full of donkey dicks....
View attachment 953657
She gave me a dry weight of 15.13 ounces..... a massive 428.93 grams!
It would have been a bit more as they are slightly over-dried..... the Boveda's will sort that out.
Here's a shot mid-crop......

The Blue Amnesia XXL took second stage to the White Widow... like an Ugly Sister pushed to the side.
Well, while the Widow hogged the spotlight, the Amnesia fattened up, and produced colas that looked like rugby balls, and lots of them.....
View attachment 953656
When I was cropping her, there seemed to be even more than I pulled from the White Widow....
View attachment 953654
I weighed this lot after cropping.... checked the numbers...... then weighed it again......
then I took some bud and put it in a jar with a hygrometer...... hmmmmmmmm 54% RH........
So here goes....
the Blue Amnesia gave me a dry haul of..... 18.40 ounces...... thats 521.63 grams WTF????????
Whoever heard of an Auto grown in coco giving almost 18½ ounces???????
This is the final weigh in.....
Auto Night Queen 4.90 oz or 138.91g
Auto Glueberry OG 10.42 oz or 295.40g
Auto White Widow XXL 15.13 oz or 428.93g
Blue Amnesia Auto XXL 18.40 oz or 521.63g
TOTAL 48.85oz or 1384.87g - my best harvest to date!
I'm well stoked.
There's not even a gram of popcorn, and no mould. Just fat hard sparkly buds!
Thanks again to @Dinafem-Mark for the beans and to a special friend who made sure they got to me over here on the other side of the planet.
Each plant was under a Skyline 400 LED unit which has a 200W draw. I used 4 Skyline 400's in total.
I added 2x Skyline 100's (50W draw) to the White Widow half way through, so an extra 100W was used on her.
A big thank you to my main man @muddy-ledhydroponic for these fantastic lights!
I need to have a smoke... I'm still trying to get my head around 18.4 ounces.......
Oops I went m.i.a for abit there. Jesus have I came back to some goodness here haha! Wholey heck Ricky's head would be exploding right now with that!
I know what you mean feels weird not growing anything now need to get another started asap haha
But man that is absolutely insane, that's got to be the best grow I've seen on here at least. 18 ma fucking oz of one plant is just insane, you are definitely in a league of your own now haha. Cannot wait to see what you have up your sleeve for next time now haha!
Cheers Bro, you were with me the whole way so thanks for all your encouagement!
I wish Bubbles was here so he could build me an oil processing plant!
I'm still undecided on the next grow... I'm tempted to do the same 4 again, or maybe do some regs... I've got a few strains from Southern Star Seeds... an Aussie co.... had them for years, so I don't wanna waste them.... and then I have some Dutch Passion 'Des Frans' which is awesome bud.
I wouldn't mind doing Regs over the Summer, so I can turn the lights off during the heat of the day... but I've only ever grown Autos, and I don't wanna fuck up..... the humiliation of it all!
Doing the same run again though would be a dead cert for another huge haul (hopefully), so I'm still thinking about it.
That some AMAZING buds, great grow bro RESPECTOK so I have finally finished this grow.

Cheers @James0807 and I'm pleased to say they are finally down.
It's been a long week.... I started chopping the White Widow on Sunday (day 102), did a bit more on Monday, and finished her on Tuesday. On Wednesday (day 105), I got on with The Blue Amnesia, and finished her last night. 3 days each plant (but I start late at about 11pm and finish at around 3am each time), and now the weekend is here, I'm fucked!
The Glueberry OG came down on day 93 so I've weighed and jarred her with Boveda 62's for a month's cure.
As usual, the super reliable Dutch Passion Glueberry came in heavy at 10.42 ounces (295.40g)
The Night Queen is also jarred, weighing in at 4.90 ounces (138.91g).
So on day 102, this is how things looked in the tent, just the two DinaFem Girls.....

White Widow XXL front left and Blue Amnesia XXL back right.
The harvesting was reasonably easy, each stem had a fat cola on it, and so I just cut the stems and pulled out any crispy leaves out by hand. There wasn't many big leaves left really, just trichome encrusted sweetleaf, I manicured them using clippers, and hung them in batches. It probably would have taken less time if I pulled my finger out and rolled less scissor hash enriched joints!
Here's the final shots of the gigantic White WIdow XXL before she came down....
View attachment 950696
and from a slightly different angle, you can see the huge amount of thick bud she's produced...
View attachment 950697
A view from above shows solid bud way beyond the main cola.
View attachment 950699
The main cola itself is a good size....
View attachment 950698
She's now hanging to dry in 5 boxes,...

View attachment 950691
The Blue Amnesia XXLwas a teeny bit shorter than the Widow, but her colas were fatter....
View attachment 950692
Here's the main cola....
View attachment 950693
I ran out of boxes, so I have just one box full of stems drying, and the rest, I hung up in the tent.

That mesh panel in the roof comes in SO handy!
The sock hangers are really versatile too, you can load them up quickly and hang them as shown above, or I suspend one in a perforated cardboard box.....
View attachment 950895
.... and hold it in place by simply closing the flaps.
View attachment 950893
I used to manicure the buds then snip them off the stems, load them into brown paper bags and then clip these to the sock hangers..... and hang the sock hangers in a well ventilated room. This is some from a previous grow....
View attachment 950892
It worked well for smaller batches, but big harvests took ages, and I worry that all that handling was making valuable trichs fall off. I much prefer to hang direct now, as it's quicker and there's less fucking around.
Lights have been off since the harvest started, and I have the intakes and extraction still going, along with just the floor fan on a medium setting.
It's weird not having to lug 20 Litre buckets of water around, and I keep feeling I have to water plants... but I'm gonna shut things down for a month or two and enjoy the peace and quiet.
I'm just waiting a week or so to have the Widow and Amnesia dried and jarred. I can't wait to see how much they weigh. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave a kilo in total.
It looks like I might have to buy some more Mason jars and Boveda packs..... problems, problems!
