Getting close.

Week 8 done and the blackberry Kush on the right looks like it could be ready any day now. The Zsweet in the back left looks like it starting to catch up as well, over 50% orange hairs there and cloudy trichomes with a little amber here and there. The 10th planet front left is what it is..
Hoping to harvest all at the same time and definitely within the next 5-6 days if possible as I’ll be in a bit of a time crunch if not due to some upcoming travel. Thanks for looking and any advice appreciated.

Pulled the plug yesterday and broke out the tree trimmers. Have them all hanging in a friends old grow room so temp and humidity controlled. Learned A LOT this grow and definitely appreciate the input from the community. Can’t wait to taste this grow as I ponder my next run sometime after deer season. Thanks to @Aqua Man and @Moe.Red for all the advice! Will definitely hit you up before the next one so I can get things dialed in a little better.

Looks good Buzzking, I'm chopping this Sunday. Did you wet trim or just strip the fan leaves before hanging? Also, I had a plant pull that same shit you showed. I wish that I'd taken a picture. It was in the same bucket too. I couldn't tell what it was trying to do. It kind of looked like a bunch of separate calaxes. I cut it last week and made it into bubble ice hash.

Great job. You happy with the result?

Hey Bubblenutz! Long time no hear glad you’re still around looking forward to seeing how your grow turned out.
I just stripped the fan leaves and hung. Will test moisture in 7-10 and when ready going to put in Grove bags. Travel too much to be here to burp jars everyday.

Sort of, it looks great but wont be able to answer that question definitively until the first smoke. Wish I could have identified and addressed that root issue much sooner. Overall the yield looks decent but what I’m really after is some tasty terpy smoke. Don’t know if I got that yet or not will let you know in about 4-5 weeks

Sometimes a little stress is a good thing. My wife’s all time favorite was a scrawny little shit that looked like Elmer Fudd tried to grow.

Good shit brother… a good dry and cure makes all the difference in the world. Only put aside what ya need to smoke and after dry leave as much as you can in the grove bags for a month or more.

What i found to work well was around 70F at 50% RH for 3 days then i drop to low 60’s and about 60% to slow and even the water movement out of the buds.

Just a guess by looking at the bigger buds is some of them would take closer to 14 maybe more days even wet trimmed

Nothing feels better than harvest day! Good job on the first grow bud

The grove bags are the bomb. I just opened one a couple days ago that I heat sealed closed a month ago. Perfect cure…..

This is what i also hear from almost anyone who has used them. Im looking forward to trying then out also. Sure will make things easier for me

Thanks to all and thanks for the advice on curing @Aqua Man! I’ll post one more time to this thread once all is fully cured to give a final report on quality.

Hey Farm! As promised here are the results. Unfortunately it turns out I did have a hermie problem going on in there and all plants were pollinated. Clearly it was the 10th Planet strain in the front right. As I had mentioned early on it was always the runt and under stress and the funky branch must have been the first signs before it went ahead and messed with the others. Another lesson learned on this journey, should have just yanked her as soon as it showed problems. Thanks to all for your comments and support and especially @Aqua Man and @Moe.Red for the expert advice! @Moe.Red would definitely like to chat prior to my next run to review my set up since it’s a Fallponics similar to yours and look for areas to tweak and improve. I’ve already got some in mind as I’ve been following along with @SweetLeafGrow with all his issues surrounding basket depth, return pipe bubble etc… I’ve got some time to work on these as it’s getting close to deer season so will start up again when seasons over or my freezer is full.

All and all the buds are sticky and it gets you high just a pain in the ass dealing with the hidden seeds. As my buddy said though, at least now I know how to grow seeds.

Moe.Red · Aug 29, 2022

Cool cool, sorry for the hermie, but it is all part of the game.

Buzzking · Aug 29, 2022

Can’t edit the post now but just for clarity and posterity sake the 10th planet was in front left when looking at the tent pics.
