Wooonderful bud/leaf ratio.

One question: how you can resist to bite them??? lol :canabis:

Thanks, they smell good too.

I did try to eat a bud once years ago.
It was like trying to eat sawdust. Lol
It wasn't very good at all.

My last plant yeilded 209 grams and it was running at 220 Watts for the lights and power supplies.
So that ended up at 0.95 grams per Watt.

That's good enough for me.

I only had the overhead lights on until she started to flower, and they are running at 71 Watts right now, so I've got 150 Watts of side lighting to add when she starts to flower.







I did no cure, other than hanging the plant for 8 days, then just trimmed it, and put it in the jar.

It smells GREAT !! and it's REALLY sticky !!

I may have lost some terpines, and it may have turned out better with a normal cure but it was really easy to just dry it and jar it.
I didn't have to worry about mold either.


It's really dry in the jar, so I guess it won't cure, but I feel quite confident that it won't get moldy.

I'm really impressed how these girls did in the window! Good job brother.


Thanks, :thank you:

I'm really looking forward to growing the one in the closet.
It should be able to fill in a lot better, compared to the window sill.


One of my last plants was less dense than the others, I over dried it before it had a chance to cure. Oh well, it happens. Better than unsmokable flower


I was aiming for 10 days hanging, but it seemed really dry by 8 days.
I was trying to get a feel for that snap of a branch to know when to trim and jar it, but it ended up way too dry to cure.
The trimming was a lot easier because the sugar leaves just crumbled off of the buds.


I think I might give up on curing all together.
I'm lazy and don't want to deal with all that burping, as well the potential for mold.

I haven't tried the buds yet, but the jar really does smell nice, and its really sticky.

The two plants look noticeably different from each other.

I can't say I know what I prefer??







The one on the right appears to have denser buds which might be a problem during the summer when the humidity goes over 80%.

I got mold on my window plant last summer.
I don't have a fan, and lighter airier buds might breathe better, with less chance of mold?


It will be interesting to compare yeilds between the two.
I'm betting that they are pretty close to the same.

This is a bud from my last closet harvest.
CandyCane Autoflower.







I'm going to smoke some now to give it a taste test.

Yeess you can do it!
Without any doubt!
And dude...these buds...just WOW

Thanks, Caio :thank you:

Reiko's plants seem to want to grow tall, which is great for my closet.
I even had the lights really close at the start of the window plants, hoping to keep them shorter, so that they don't outgrow the window sill.


The Reiko starting in my closet now has less light than I usually start them with.

She looks happy and healthy so far, with a nice green color.


She does have a mutant leaf though. Lol












I think I'm going to start with 1/4 strength nutes tomorrow.
The second set of leaves is about the same size as the first.

I tried some and it did taste pretty good.

It's too dry though and the bud just crumbled when I tried to load my pipe.
I use a "dry herb vape pipe" and it was kinda harsh and stung my throat, then the bowl was done in 2-3 drags, when it normally takes 5-6.

I think I'm going to put some peroxide on a cotton pad and put it in the jar to try to rehydrate the buds a bit.

The smell wasn't very strong in the jar (but it did smell nice!!) and I don't know if that's because of my lack of a cure or because it's just so dry.

I'll try to bring it up to 50% RH.

She is re-vegging. This clone (#5) was take outdoor in early october while the mother was flowering. Therefore re-vegged, than re-flowered for 1 month and then re-vegged. These are the sugar leaf growing.
It'normal for a re-vegged plant..after some nodes the leaves turns normal.

I tortured them because:
1 i want breed her with Lady Cane and i want a pure female plant so stressing them i search for hermaphrodite flowers ( no males flower so far)
2 i want see if its faster reflower them or take clones
3 if i trim a branch i can dry and smoke it...the buds keep maturing also in veg...and trust me the regrowed sugar leaf are as strong as the buds

Now Marra Jones #3 &#5, when they are ready, will go to flower.

And, dude, i wanna Reiko's Widow and Candycane smoke reports when the buds are cured. :jump:

I'm used to seeing pot leaves that look like this...







Here's one of Reiko's buds...








I messed up and snapped it...
I had to hook it into the branch above.





I suck at LST. Lol
