day 81 - the fat lady's clearing her throat...
You know what I mean? I might even take a break from growing for a couple of months to get over the stress of this one! A nice big haul will keep me sane!Whew! Who's got a smoke?
Cheers Ribbzzy! Banana, Lemon and Orange.... the perfect diet!Nice! Still cracking out monsters mate.
Nice selection of strains too.
You make me blush, Bro!Girls are looking very teetee now.. ima get that word into the Oxford English.. as a description for monster plants.. 'they look very teetee' lol I like it!!
It really is filling up in there....
That was lights on, with Banana Blaze in front with Lemon Kix behind on the left and the Orange Bud back right.
Lights off and you can see the amount of bud on its way....
That tent is 1.2m wide, and the Banana Blaze pretty much takes up all the space.
Here she is on her own...
Crack open the macro (but no ring flash cos I left the batteries in and they've turned into brown mush grrrr) for a few close ups...
Lots of juicy trichomes - all milky....
Here's how things look when I take the Banana out of the tent. Lemon Kix on the left and the Orange Bud on the right....
... and with the lights off...
Notice the yoyos....
not wrong Hope... they was colas were sagging all over the shop!2/3 weeks they be collapsing under the weight of those colas
Lemon Kix has a small footprint, but she's loaded with sparkly goodies....
Here's a closer look...
Finally the Orange Bud. You're only seeing half of her here - there's plenty more behind those 3 big colas.....
The Orange is nearly done. She's advertised as a 77 day finisher, and it's now day 81. I reckon I'll take her down this weekend, and do the other two (84 day finishers) the following weekend.
Finally some close ups of the Orange....
I'm seeing mainly milky trichomes, but the ambers are beginning to show....
I don't reallty want to stink the place out while harvesting... so it looks like I'll be up all Friday and Saturday nights for the next couple of weeks. These days I just quickly chop off stem by stem, get just the fan leaves off, then box the stems for 12-14 days.
Thanks DC. It's doing my head in. This last week or 2, we've had this old lady from round the corner come over a few times, poor old Girl just wants a chat, but her Daughter's in the Army S.That whole tent is looking just beautiful! Good luck on staying undetected. I think you'll pull it off. Sounds like you have the right level of paranoid precautions in place.
If I get time, I'll manicure them more, but that would have to be in the dead of night, but I don't mind waiting until they've dried to finish off the job.
All that sweetleaf and any straggly bud will be saved for making some canna coconut oil.
Getting the Lemon and Banana down in one go gives me the opportunity to dry them in the tent, which is the only way to keep the smell under control.
Thanks for taking a look! Happy growing!
