Gardens looking great man! How many of the Dragons fruit did you do? Looks like it threw out some tubes do you have any other notes on how it grew? Did the overall structure get pretty big?Its on my freebie list from my GLG order

I grew 3. 2/3 were similar. The megacola one is hazy. The wide ones got pineapple notes with haze in the bg. Then my late planted one, a runt, threw out pink pistis and might be done before it snows lol. I would grow this strain again in a heart beat. I feel like I could have gave it more Ca and P. Their structures interesting. Not overall the biggest like the sorcerers but one plant took up 4 racks, the same as the big sorcerers, so I think it makes up for it in its own way. They are up there as loudest/frostiest. My friend gasped when he smelled the pineapple one. It lures you in.
I think I'm about to go chop the shade lotus.

Hey Tess,
How long does it take you to take down one of them trees?
Like how many plants/how much bud do you think you could chop and hang (whole branches) in a weekend?

I have a bad back and it takes me and 2 people 2 hours to chop, buck down hang one large plant. Im trying to do one in the morning and one at night.

Amber tRichimes area signnof oxidation from free radicals. Healthy plants stay milky

There are no days here... you know that
Cater,
So when would you harvest if you weren't using the amber trichomes as an indicator?
please explain.

I'm not growing oxidized essential oils so you won't find any amber here.
I harvest when the flowers don't flush any new bracts and have filled in what's there for a few weeks

This and the 'healthy plants don't mold' maxim is radical. Did you figure this stuff out from studying agronomy and botany, and from experience growing?
Anyway, what does 'flush any new bracts' mean? Flush = grow?
It is not radical. It is correct. The difference is amazing. I have personally reached closed eye visuals on Cat Kush.
Wasnt sure we were saying it out loud but how to do it is the tricky part. Anyways...i dont even like to see orange/red hairs til drying. That is free radical damage...protect your plant

Yes. A flush of growth. Like after an irrigation and you come the next day and you can see new bracts growing and mass forming. Once the flowers have filled in size wise I waiting a few weeks after that for them to fill in and ripen up the oils and then I pull.
There's better ripening with good microbial activity and high mineralization. Plant comes in even. No multiple cut bullshit. It's all about energy.
For a new variety I'll harvest at 9-12 weeks and send each sample for chromatography to compare quality at different harvest windows. I relate those psychoactive and aromatic profiled back to the soil test that shows the nutrition and compare what nutrient levels also made what effect on quality.
You can't use pistils as a marker either because if the plants healthy they won't die back. Not even with 3 days of rain pounding them like i just went through.
Better mineralization better quality better plants better disease and pest resistance

well god damn.
i've thought of using digital calipers to measure flower size to see when it stops growing. would that be a good determination, or does the tissue become more dense even after flower diameter has plateaued?

That's that fill in period I refer to once the cells stop dividing and start expanding (shift from Ca to K)
I guess the above picture went on right side up this time. Great!
Yes these maxims are simple but in application extremely
Complex
But once you get it right you can make stuff that gives people visuals and not even from concentrates. Just from the bud. I've done it.
I usually wait till everything is milked out. Don't trichs amber up some during drying?

Yea those pistils are white as snow and plentiful.
So I wonder then if cola diameter (when it stops increasing) would be a good indicator of when to start 'blowing up the tire' with K as you guys have put it.
I want to switch to light dep so I can run more than one in a year which would speed up my learning process and give an opportunity to experiment. Greenhouse is a whole new learning curve though and I don't have indoor experience.
Thanks for sharing, cat!

With multiple strains, little experience, and many plants, I need something else to rely on besides my yes. At least until I get a feel for it.
