Hello cannabis aficionados, newbies, apprentices and journeymen/women.
Many of you will have already read my latest High Times article on Chemdog D. I just read it a few minutes ago... I always seem to be the last person to see my own articles! hehehe In the article I give very high praises to this plant, and I mean every word of it. There happens to be a very well flushed example of CDD in my garden at the moment, and since I don't post enough pics of CDD online, I decided to show my CDD in absolute raw form. No leaves are cleaned, buds aren't straightened up for the shots, she's just as she was in the grow room.
Feeding stopped early on this plant. She was started on straight water and maple syrup about 2 weeks ago... she quickly lost her leaves once flushing was started.
I happened to be smoking a tester joint from this plant when my wife came in and handed me the latest issue of High Times, with the CDD article in it.
Coincidences are fun. The bud smoked as a tester was snipped from this plant about a week ago... it smokes perfectly, so the rest of her should be even better.
When I see my plants in this shape I think to myself, "there are people who would see this plant and think it was a disaster." But I see this plant as approaching the pinnacle of indoor cannabis growing. The best tasting herb I've ever smoked came from plants that looked like this one. There's hardly any chlorophyll left in the plant to make it taste green, leaving only the simple essence of the herb and the resin to enjoy.
I harvest all my plants during the night cycle. This one is no exception. Starches/sucrose produced during the day cycle are drained to the roots for storage during the night cycle. So it stands to reason that you'd want to cut AFTER those starches and sugars have been stored in the roots.
Another reason to harvest in the night cycle is... when light hits the plant, it draws moisture up from the medium, and nutrients along with the water (if there's any nutrient left, and there usually is SOME manner of nutrient in the medium even after the flush). I like to wait until the lights are about to come on... so the plant had an entire night cycle to store starches.
I'll post more ugly pictures of CDD in the raw later. We'll start off with these.
