so, met the landlord of the house. Ended up chatting for over an hour. She loved us, just going to do a credit check, and background check, and we have to come up with 3k for first last + security. She said she could work with us if needed, but with my harvest happening right now, and fin aid disbursement happening on the 14th, the timing is perfect. I will have to play with the garden, figure out whats going, what needs to be harvested, and what needs to find new homes.

I wont have the funds this year to get a good greenhouse up this season, but I am going to put my 8 recreation plants outdoor in the biggest pots I an afford to fill, hopefully 35 gallon rope handle tubs with rollers. Just stick em out under the sun, and wheel them under the awning if it rains. Beats not having an outdoor crop this year. The garage is an over-sized 2 car, so going to have that whole space to play with.

The misses and I just smoked a tester nug of the LemonShine, (OG larry x BMS #4) was a bit overdry due to me forgetting I had broken the branch and hung it, but damn...shes fucking niiiiice. Super loud lemon pledge, pine sol, citrus funk, Very tasty sticks to the back your throat like candy. DEFINITELY looking forward to the full plants smoke as the plant will have gotten 2 full weeks extra.

nice Papa!

thanks DAT!

so, went ahead and chopped the last 3 plants of crop 1. Today was day 61, and they all had a goodly amount of amber, and solid milky, calyx swollen to the max, super sticky and just looking awesome. There was considerably more weight and more fire then the plants chopped at 7 weeks. I am expecting there to be 1.5# give or take a few ozs. Will get pics up soon.

The Lemon shine (BMS X OG #4) is FUCKING loud lemon pledge pine sol.



The wet dreams is a monster yielder. Every inch of it is bud that's just rock hard and REEK of fruity hash and blueberrys and fruit loops. I see SCROGs in her future.

The SSH #3 is awesome as well. Reeks of sour fruit and coffee hash and is sticky to the max. Even the lowest branches formed ROCK hard buds.

All in all, prob one of my best harvests in recent memory. Certainly best since moving to oregon.

In order to make room for them to dry, I moved all the plants from the 600 and the 4x4 tent into the 5x9 with the 2k. Gives them more light and more space, and the small tent is dedicated to the drying plants. Got the dehumidifier in there to keeping humidity down.

Pics to come!

thanks man! Yea the SSH is nice smoke, first one down #5 is really mango. This one thats drying now #3 is smelling more heavy in the funk department. Kinda like Funky Fruit. Man sweat and lifesavers lol. havent smoked #3 yet, wanna wait till its been jarred a day.

 

[papapayne]

The black berry kushes from @scrapmapple are doing awesome to. Now that they are under the 600 and spread more, Its very intense how indiaca they are. Dinner plant leaves with no space between, huge fingers, THICK stems. Already see resin glands as well.

 

[papapayne]

Guys he has some nice buds in those jars, and more on the way. That sucks I dropped a bud that is weed abuse;)

Thanks man :) Yea I officially am out of jars now lol Already bought a new pack of mason jars, looks like I need 2 more packages. Still have the SSH2 to trim, its still pretty wet.

The wet dreams is fully trimmed and in mesh now. Was 8.4 ozs, but it still is a tad moist so prob will lose a bit. But yea, its the best plant IMO this cycle. No mold, lots and lots of bud sites, the smell is awesome, sticky, dense, and just awesome looking.

Got some pics uploading of it now :) I DEFINITELY see a SCROG happening with it very very soon.


I uppotted all the blackberry kush x jabbas and cheese surprise into 2 gallon bags, and now see roots in my SSH X JB #3 clone, which is a huge relief. Still no word on the application, which is stressing us out, but I figure if she didn't like waht she saw on the credit check, and was no she would have already let us know. Fingers still crossed!

Anyway, enojy some pics, here is some Wet Dreams :)

 

[papapayne]

Got some yield figures coming together.

SSH x JB #3 gave 6.04 ozs
LemonShine gave 4.98 oz
Grand daddy balls 4.72
SSH x JB #5 5.1
Dog x Honeybee 4.63

25.47 ozs so far in jars. Got another 7 + ozs of wet dreams to add to the mix.

that leaves 2 more plants out of the 8 under 2k watts.

Respectable numbers for a first time run with most the strains and with a first time in coco. Plenty of room for improvement though.

 

[papapayne]

Wet dreams jarred and SSH #3 jarred. VERY pleased with those 2.

Got 6.69 off the ssh 3 and 8.11 oz off the wet dreams. That is my highest per plant yeild indoors I have ever had.

Brings me to over 2# of 6 plants. 2 more to go and I will know my GPW this cycle.

So how long was the veg on that Wetdreams?? Yow I'm liken that!

 

[papapayne]

[DAT]

ur wet dreams has a yeast infection. lol,
who would you rather eat out with a yeast infection? Megan Fox or Christine Aguilura? lol
ur shit looks real good pops! nice an SHINEY! id smoke it even with the pm it looks so damn tasty. nice work Soldier

Yea I took some heat on RUI about the PM, but honestly, I don't think it may a lick of difference to the buds. I checked them all pretty thoroughly under the microscope and didn't see hardly any pm in the bud. All the ones that had it were pretty tiny popcorn that was in the interior of the plants, and it went into the bag to be hashed. The wet dreams and the SSH 3 were pretty much untouched by the pm which is nice.

I was expecting to have harsh unflavored buds, but the green cure and the vinegar sprays didn't seem to do any negatives. The bud came out really smooth, not harsh even before the cure started. Everyone that has smoked any has only had amazing things to say, and no complaints yet.

Obviously I cant claim its organic or mildew free, but it wasn't going to be organic regardless because of the canna nutes. The root aphids made the bud kinda harsh, especially halfway thru a blunt, but smoked several blunts of the new harvest, nothing but top shelf smoke and taste so can't complain. Obviously I want to handle this pm situation, but all in all, I am pleased with both the quality and quantity of the harvest.

As far as keeper genetics go, the Wet dreams and Lemon Shine really stood out amongst the rest, and have earned themselves a spot in the stable for a while. I am going to re run the SSH x JBs and see how they do a second time. Right now though #3 is my favorite smoke and growing one. The Grand daddy balls is really good, but not anything special to be totally honest. Quality genetics, but not a diamond. I am going to run again since I have one in flower already. But I suspect a keeper of that will come from doc.
