^ "J"
still have no clue what strain this is, probably never will know for sure, it's very sativa structured
"J" is giving the miles bubba kush x floscout a run for its money in the "smallest buds" race - but the J started setting nugs earlier than the MBKxFS
smells like... fucking nothing specific, not a strong smell either. kind of spicey and peppery with some earthy hints.
thanks phases!
pre harvest we de-leaf the plants hard, taking as many big fan leaves as possible trying to leave behind only sugar trim leaves
then hang dry in large pieces (to slow dry time, it's so damn arid where we are that slowing dry time is essential), in a cool (40-60 degrees) room with no airflow - that's just what we gotta do here in the high desert, i don't suggest all people in all places to do things exactly how i do - but you asked for my process and this is it, tailored for my environment
after hang dry produces buds that are dry and crispy on the outside and seem ready to dry trim - but inside of buds is still somewhat moist and not crispy. This is usually when only the smalllest/thinnest of stems will snap, but the vast majority of the stems will still still bend and NOT snap
where im at it's all about slowing down the dry time, and not letting plants get too dry ever because you can't get that moisture BACK IN the buds ever and achieve the same quality
as for chop time, not yet
letting shit go as long as i can according to my local weather - looks like another week of warm weather for now (lows in the 40's).
scoped some buds and didn't see much amber trichs so im holding tight and letting them do their thing
been giving only biology lately, some phos unlocking microbes (Bio-Phos made by Rootwise), em1/labs, more actinovate just in case of PM/mold/pathogens (it's been pretty wet lately and i'm concerned with over watering in my soil, it's kind of heavy), home-made kombucha, sprouted seed teas (mostly corn, blue and yellow).

How many amber trichs do you try for? I've only seen them a couple times before. I would like to chop when I see the first amber ones show up but usually the frost beats me to it. The first frost here will be Mon or Tues so harvest is over pretty soon.
What are your plans for next year? Are you going to grow a lot or maybe build up the tourist bed and breakfast thing? If you build up that supplement making stuff, that should keep you busy.

i like to get around 3-5% amber, ime they continue to turn a lil bit after harvest so by the time everything is cut, dry, trimmed and hitting the jars/buckets for longer terms storage there could be 10%ish
growing mostly indicas that im guessing could show amber before harvest time
as for next year im gonna play it by ear, the agri-tourism thing isn't really manifesting itself naturally the way the fertilizer thing is... just going to have to see what happens between now and then
Hey miles, do you have any tips for long term storage? I only grow in fall and winter . I have a few pounds left from last winter that have lost most of their flavor. I cured in Turkey bags for 10 days and then jarred everything up. I read People cure for 6 months or more but mine is losing flavor fast.
thanks nickman!
consider some oxygen eater packs.... not a moisture pack like boveda but they are supposed to eat up o2 to reduce oxidation.
imo weed grown organically with lots of beneficials will last longer than non organic weed, that's the impression i get after growing organic a few years - seems like quality is easier to preserve
oldtimers tell me that they don't even dry trim their weed until it's time to smoke it. like if u look back at the old icmag thread "whatcha puffin" - the oldtimer who ran that thread always posted untrimmed buds, told people he trimmed them right before smoking. i've done this with some buds and it seems like quality was preserved a lil bit better, more trichomes, no scissor/finger hash lost instead all that material is still on your weed.

smells like cookies and cantaloupe, reminds me of the chunkypigs strain "glue breath" in terms of smell but not structure
biggest plant in the garden, stretched alot but i feel she could have stacked harder
^ Catpiss x Moontang
the same cut i've been growing, smells more ammonia-ish and more like actual catpiss on this outdoor grow that indoors
stacking hard dense colas that are now well stacked at 20-30 inchest tall
^ Miles bubba Kush x Flo Scout
smelling LESS flo-y and more cheesey/kushy with hints of floral sweet cookies flavors, real musky and sweet combo that isn't entirely pleasing but is rank and dank and the flowers are beautiful on her

can see some minor damage from white aphids in the lower right corner, the cocksuckers

stacking like a champ, and reeking like berries and kush

alot of my outdoor was chopped on saturday, hanging now happily
some plants still standing; waiting to take them a couple more days
also found this info-graphic interesting:
^ best i can understand you could potentially replace the far left "Cannabis" with "olivetolic acid"
good info
