Day 62 12/12. Of course a security issue arrises right near harvest like with many grows. Not my fault, the brother(in his 40s) of the guy whos place we are growing in stumbled on the garden couple months ago,no problem, but a couple days ago he ran his mouth to his EX-wife about it: now I am forced to cut a several days sooner than i wanted to because my friends parents feel threatened that he or she will call the law. gotta love threats from some random exwife.. they are THE DEVIL!
chops day will probably be day 64-66. I wanted to run them out to at least day 68 , especially the lemon skunk to day 70 or so.
I see aprrox - 10% clear,40% milky,45% cloudy,2-3% amber.
First shot is the Day 60 nug after 2 days of drying.
Pic 3 is lemon skunk
zeppelin: thanks man, i hope the kick is a blast of lemon candy.
Jigga: i will post individual and total yeild. the lemon skunk looks to be a good yeilder. Two of the three widows look to be good yeilders too, but widows are known for only being average yeilders. So im not expecting anything close to 1gram per watt. Im thinking somewhere between 7-10 ounces... like .5-.6g per watt
so cfl for the first 2 weeks then hps? what u ran the hps 18/6 then switch to 12/12 im guessing? im asking cause i got my hands on a htg 400w hps but moneys tight trying to think what should i do for veg... im personally trying to hold off till i can get a conversion bulb but it doesnt seem anytime soon.
willing to take any advice i really want some plants looking like urs nice and healthy.
the things i do have:
*htg 400w hps
*cheap indoor thermometer
*timer
* 2 cpu fans dont think will be any good for exhaust?
* a good oscillating fan
my strains are
*ghs white widow
*ghs white rhino
*dinafem cali hash
*barneys g13 haze
Well here's pics of the crop. I wanted to let the widows to go to day 70-71 and the lemon skunk to 70+ days. looks to be 6-8 ounces. I will have a full report once they are all dried in a few days. The WW tastes great and has a great well rounded high.The LS taste like lemon PineSol and the high is a strong sativa buzz, trippy, euphoric, lightheaded,meanwhile I felt a pretty strong body buzz at the same time!(GREAT HIGH)MOST POTENT HERB IVE SMOKED IN YEARS. haven't smoked off any of the bigger colas yet, havent even tried out two of the widows. It should be all dried by monday.
Update: White Widow and Lemon Skunk. Dried and ready for curing. I have been burping the jars last couple days since the bud went into containers.
Small smoke report(will post full report in dried/smoke report forum)
White Widow: Smell is improving every day.8.5 No grassy smell left.Taste is a moderate strength(floral,sour fruit)8. Bag appeal is up there , one pheno looks like classic widow 8 while the other(purpleish pheno) has a more exotic bud structure 9. Smoke is already smooth and the bud burns to white ash with no crackle 9. Potency is probably a 7.5 with one pheno and 8 with another(using a small glass pipe) The bong will get me ripped with one hit. Duration is 1 1/2-2 hours, nice and long. got a little too stoned at work today heh, funny but not funny. Its a stoney heavy high, great for relaxation and pain relief.
Lemon Skunk: Smell is STRONG as hell! give it a 9 for stinkyness, and a 8.5 for smell. Taste is stronger than the widow and with cure will smell fantastic 8(spicy,citral). Bag appeal is a 6.5 cause although the leaves and calyxes are covered in thick headed trichomes, there are too many pistil hairs and not enough density. Smoke is not as smooth as the widow soo ill give it a 7.5 for now. Potency is probably a 8.5, stuff is lethal out of the bong. Strong sativa buzz, cerebral, euphoric, stimulating. Not a heavy high but a real buzzy high.
Yeild:
WW1:50 grams
WW2:80 grams
WW3:95 grams
LS:50 grams
Total yeild: 275 grams which is roughly 9.75 ounces and .69g/per watt with my 400w hps. 7 weeks from seed and 64 days of 12/12 so basically a 4 month grow cycle.
about 4 ounces went to my friend and his dad. I have the rest(pictured below)
Should be set on smokeables for a while eh?
Thanks to everyone that followed this thread or at least poked there head in to give me a shout. It took a lot of effort to grow at someones place but it was well worth it.
1st pic: 2 White widow and 1 lemon skunk pictured
2nd pic: white widow no flash pictured
3rd pic: white widow flash pictured(notice the bud growth at the internode,most of the tops on this ww had this growth!!)
4th pic: white widow with lighters and pipe
5th pic: my portion of the stash(LS upper right,widow Upper and lower left.)
I just found this thread and wondered why the pics were upside down... It was because it was the harvest. Going to go check it out from start to finish.
