420Captain first grow. How are they doing ?

[trygrowup]

What's happening here bro, how does your set up run.
It all looks clean and tidy you run a tight ship

@420Captain are you liking my nautical puns

Buoy oh buoy that's a good pun!!
Knot bad at all!!

I'm from a seaman family. I know some sailor terms but many in danish.
But you know what monkey island is on a ship?

 

[420Captain]

Cool!! Fishing family ?

It's the birds nest ? Where the titanic guys were sitting who didn't see the ice block ?

Nah shipping goods. And ships, not boats. Cargo, oil and such. Ferry boats too. Navy. Not fishing though.

Bird nest is close.
It is the roof of the commando bridge. Used most for sun bathing.
Already before i was 5 i had a 1/2 year on the sea.
Got baptized too crossing equator. I'm baptized seahorse.
Happy days back then. We could be in harbor for weeks sometimes.
Now it's roll on roll off. And only work while in harbor.
Or not in harbor at all.
That was already like that when i was 17 and then decided not to be a sailor.

 

[420Captain]

Sounds like you spend more time on boats then me, just bought my first one last year

Interesting life and story! Got my ASA U.S. Coast Guard cert. license to charter up to 60’ Catamaran. The course was fun and having my small sailboat was as well. Sailing Lake Ontario and Lake Champlain camping out in the boat. That’s been the end of it for me and certainly nothing compared to your experiences. I hope you’re now enjoying being a landlubber! Sure like to hear all those stories of yours too!

 

[420Captain]

Damn, what happend to the site....

Update!

Drying tents, some buds allready feel dry and crunchy on the outside. But when is the right moment to trim and bag ?
Rh is all okay, but some warmer temps today and upcomming days.

Day 57.
Watermelon lady has milky trichomes! But leafs looking a bit strange.
Maybe a few days till harvest ?

You got this bro you've got green thumbs for sure, Is it soil you use?
Serious question, is soil the stuff you buy at the garden centre aka compost?

I'm growing tomatoes getting dirt under my nails (compost)

The funny thing is, i don't do plants or so, Nothing in house or in the garden.
I'm using soil. But i use plagron light soil with perlite.

Haha nice, Everyone always saying those are almost the same as weedplants to grow ?

Love making compost. Sounds ridiculous but if done right, give you “Super Soil.” And just like the name implies, awesome great soil, nothing ever much else needed! From what little I’ve learned, the only thing “maybe” better is hydro (if you know what you’re doing with it).

 

[420Captain]

I started trimming some of the buds that were drying for 7 days now, because they felt realy dry.
But only the bigger main buds were dry.. Lower down they branch not.
I made 2 grove bags, 1 with the best bud, for personal use, and a big with smaller buds for sale. The personal bag is at 60%rh now, and the other 58%. I orderd some boveda packs te be sure.

The last 6 lady's at day 58 now.
Today we got 30 celcius, so very hot in the second drying tent, currently 25 and 58%. First drying tent in a different room is 23.5 average and 60%

 

[420Captain]

Drying update,
Some is already dry and trimmed. Like we allready knew, lots of popcorn, but also some nice buds!
No weight yet,

What do you think ?

 

[420Captain]

Day 60 for these lady's,
The watermelon got it's last watering today, so 48 hours and she gonna go to the drying tent :-)

 

[420Captain]

I've got a final weight on the first tent after 9 days drying,

Big buds 310gram
Popcorn 225gram but needs some trimming

i also have a box with tiny tiny trash, but gonna try to make some dry sift out of it.

So not bad at all imo, could be better ofcourse but not complaining.

 

[TerpBeans]

Well Done Sir

 

[420Captain]

Well Done Sir

Thank you!!

Day 61,

I chopped down the watermelon!
Took away some big leaves, but now hanging upsidedown in the tent, she smells amazing!

Other plants are now only getting half the nutrients.

 

[420Captain]

Sorry guys for the long wait!
Been really busy with the boat because i did haul her out to the dry dock.

The Watermelon was mostly dry, but again too much fluf :-( And also a sad yield!
Currently 30gram buds, and then some fluf. So not really proud about that.

But the 5 remaining lady's, looking good i think ? Currently day 67
some of them starting to hang a bit, so i had to support some.

 

[Coconutz]

That's a well respectable harvest bro you've done extremely well by any measure.
What do you intended to do about the fluffy bud how are going to address it?

I'm not absolutely sure removing popcorn improves anything above?i think sometimes it's just better to have than not, you can make edibles and stuff with it?
