Now dried and curing in jars. I’ve been smoking some for a while now since harvest, super strong head high that transitions to body after 3-4 hours. Sadly I over dried and lost that wonderful fuel aroma. 😔 other than that I did achieve all other goals and was able to harvest pollen, 29.4g of beans, 3.1g of kief, and 381g of flower or 13.4 ounces. This is a little better than previous harvest weight wise which was also a secondary goal. I had been using Batch 64 Moonshine soil but switched to Fox Farm when it was no longer available. I saw an immediate drop in quantity and flavor. This last grow was with Nectar For The Gods #4 soil.

Secman Pretty😍
growingfromseeds I’m still pretty new to growing. This is day 128? I thought it was around 90 days? Do different strains have different growth rates?
PopsGarden420 Depends on when you started to flower. Generally 8-12 weeks depending on genetics

What’s currently playing in the grow room. Solitary Man by Neil Diamond, Lonely Is The Night (Remastered) by Billy Squier. In the past 2 weeks; had to leave town for a death in the family, a friend watered with molasses while gone, upon return trimmed for light to bud sites, watered w/ worm casting tea & compost tea, fed late flower Roman regimen, trimmed yellowed leaves, took a sample from one of the buds and viewed under microscope - no amber at this time, I’m guessing 2-3 more weeks.

trichometheatre Nice one! If you want to trade some seeds I have a pretty good amount to choose from?
johnnyg Thank you for the offer and I’d like to take you up on that in the future. Currently I’ve got the next 4 grows all lined up. Doing a little breeding.
trichometheatre What dominant/recessive traits are you specifically breeding for? Which true breeds are you using to start your base/using to build your gene pool? Where did you get the Sour D? Was is a cut or seeds? Ty so much my g!☮️💚

TheSocialGrower Beautiful beetroot red on the stem in pic 2!!!!!
johnnyg I’ve never paid any attention to that, I see it all the time during flower and consider it normal. No?
TheSocialGrower Yeah it’s probably just genetics. My first few grows I ran a strain that gets red stems and ppl had me thinking it was light burn or any number of things… I just think it’s pretty! The shade is so vibrant

Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me) by The Temptations, Catch Us If You Can by The Dave Clark Five. Long trip away from my plants, my friend did a good job watering and feeding. Upon return identified 5 female plants and 3 males. Males have been set to flower and placed outside. 5 females in the tent, pretty tight for space with five. Adjusted light height, transplanted to final pots, males in 5 gal, females in 10 gal, all smart pots. Started brewing a batch of compost tea. Letting them rest a few days after transplanting now before trimming, to be followed by putting them to flower in 2-3 weeks.

BINAII How much was that fish sh!t? There are so many better alternatives that you can spend your money on. That product does not impress me the slightest. Find some hydrolyzed fish products from your local nursery or Amazon. You’ll thank me later:
