Lighting The House of Vorkosigan

[Vorkosigan]

Update is a day late due to spending 6 hours harvesting Blanca. The girl was potent in the stench department while trimming. I brought the plant material into the house to dry in the basement and you could smell her in the bedrooms two floors up! The wife made me take the plant material back out to the garage since she didn't want the house to stink.

29Jan - Flush for Blanca, Jewel, & Mike - 1 gal of water, 1mL Mammoth P. 30mL Herculean Harvest. 15mL Aphrodite's Extraction and Hygea Hydration. 7.5mL Olympus Up. PPM 330, pH 6.7.
Late Veg for Helga - 1gal water, 1.5mL Mammoth P. 10mL Medusa Magic, Gaia Mania, Athena's Aminas, Hygea Hydration, Kraken. 5mL Zeus Juice, Demeter's Destiny, Aphrodite's Extraction, Poseidonzyme. 15mL Herculean Harvest. 7.5mL Olympus Up. PPM 820 pH 6.3. Fed her the whole gallon!
30Jan - Flush mix with 5mL Olympus Up for Blanca & Jewel.
31Jan - Late Veg mix for Helga, fed whole gallon.
1Feb - Flush mix with 5mL Olympus Up for Blanca, Jewel, & Mike.
3Feb - Helga is starting to purple on stems so I switched to Early Flowering mix - 1 gal water, 1.5mL Mammoth P. 10mL Medusa Magic, Gaia Mania, Zeus Juice, Demeter's Destiny, Aphrodite's Extraction, Poseidonzyme, Kraken. 15mL Athena's Aminas, Mega Morpheus, Hygea Hydration, Titan's Trawl. 30mL Herculean Harvest. 1/4tsp MaxiCrop 0-0-17. 7.5mL Olympus Up.
Harvest Blanca - 125g (4.4oz) wet on all buds, 60g (2.1oz) wet of sugar trim, not bad for a 10" tall x 14" wide plant. Also took open sacs off Mike for pollen harvesting.
4Feb - Helga is 20.5" (52.07cm) tall x 25" (63.5cm) wide at 42 days. Mike is 26.5" (67.31cm) tall x 19" (48.26cm) wide at 63 days. Jewel is 71 days and I'm thinking of taking her this upcoming Friday, just need my best friend to not be sick so he can help trim, E another 6+ hours of trimming solo!

Sugar trim for a go at hash making

Mike's turn...

He's grown a lot!
Really like how he's fading and glad I'm going to chuck his pollen all over the place!

Looking good vorko.

Watch out for mold if you are drying in the garage.

Thanks @Itisi I have the tent exhaust directed to blow across the drying material, it's been carbon scrubbed and goes through close to 20' of elephant trunk before going across the buds. I have been checking Buds/sugar trim a couple of times a day to make sure it's not going south.
Mike received a conjugal visit from Helga @Vlad The Inhaler, the lowest buds received some lovin'.

 

[Vorkosigan]

@Vlad The Inhaler You can tell the missus that she doesn't have to give Mike a courtesy wank, I found one seed in my Auto Blues so far. Just put the buds and sugar trim in jars to cure. I did a drop test on the buds, they sound like rocks! Took a video but the site won't find it to upload it.

@witchyhour I'll be updating with harvest pics of Jewel (24carat Illuminauto) on Friday or Saturday.

 

[Vorkosigan]

@witchyhour As promised, harvest pictures of Jewel.

Torturing Mike again
Removed fans rotated
A bit frosty
7hrs of trimming later...wet weights are in:
Sugar trim 1.5oz or 43g
Buds 204g or 7.2oz
P.S. Did not count the time I took a break from trimming to cook dinner and eat with my wife and daughter. When I came in the house they both went, "*PHEW* you stink like WEED!" I guess it's a good thing I was trimming in the garage and not the house.

 

[Vorkosigan]

I have Blanca's dry weights -
Buds 1.0oz or 28g
Sugar trim 16g or .6oz
Going to have a go at making hash using pantyhose and a helluva lot of tapping/sifting then use the hash to make canna-coconut oil.
