Thanks
@archie gemmill, nice of you to say so Bro!
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....
and from a slightly different angle, you can see the huge amount of thick bud she's produced...
A view from above shows solid bud way beyond the main cola.
The main cola itself is a good size....
She's now hanging to dry in 5 boxes,...
The Blue Amnesia XXLwas a teeny bit shorter than the Widow, but her colas were fatter....
Here's the main cola....
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.....
.... and hold it in place by simply closing the flaps.
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....
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!
