Man I went to the grocery store and could not focus at all. Just wondered around saying, oh yeah I think need some of this, haha. Luckily it was raining and I had nothing else to do anyway besides get lost in Total Wine and Vons.

Flower Day 56_ Begin Week 9

I am planning to go to at least the beginning of Week 12.
PPM's are around 1100.
Flush may start next week I haven't decided as of yet. Maybe you guys can chime in with how long you think I can push them. Last round I harvested everything at 77 days. I am thinking 84 days will be the max.

Strain: Jolumbo (Columbian Gold x Jo's OG)
This is the indica dominate pheno.

I'm not sure what is going on here but I went ahead a snapped a picture of one of the leaves. More are starting to turn crunchy like this and it doesn't appear to be a natural thing. Not all of the leaves are this way but I still have about 3 weeks and a lot can happen in that amount of time.

Clean rez and plain water will start tomorrow!!! They may not make it all the way to day 84. So we will just play that by ear. Oh plus I am leaving for a week so maybe they will since I won't be here to harvest, lol.

I'd rather harvest a week late then a week early.

How long are you planning to flush for? And do you let the roots get some hangtime in the air before refilling the system?

Usually 10 - 14 days. It takes about a week to get the left over nutes out of the rez (without changing the water 5 times). At least that is when the ppm drop from 600 to closer to what the water starts at. The rez is constantly draining so they aren't submerged for very long. Almost always hanging. The chamber may fill up a little during the spray but it is off for 4 mins and that is plenty of time for the chamber to drain.

Have you gotten to smoking some Jolumbo yet? I'm dead curious to know what it'll be like!
I have it is very peppery. Very different smoke then what you would think. I'll post a better review in about week I'll be out of town for work so i won't be on.

In the mean time though here is what the jolumbo looks like right now.

And the rest! Everything is drying now. The room is a mess, leaves and shit everywhere. Will be cleaning tonight and getting the Veg room ready to transfer. Should go pretty easy since I just have to move the buckets instead of 6 plants at once.

Some more from harvest Day:

I ended drying everything in brown paper bags this time. It is to difficult to control the humidity in my room and I think the last few times everything dried to quickly. Will let you guys know how it worked out in the next couple of days. Trying to avoid any kind of hay smell. Also trying to avoid a 2 month cure until it smells good. From what I have been reading it is all in a controlled dry. So we shall see if a cure can be skipped.

To be sure I will be jarring these once they are ready for the jars. But the last couple of times I wind up with a hay smell for 2 - 3 weeks. With this change I expect them to smell wonderful from the beginning.

How are you going to keep your nuggets from getting all smushed up? I tried to do this with about an ounce in jar to test it and it took for freakin ever to dry and smelled like hay, actually! it still smells like hay and is still drying! I took the crop down 2.5 weeks ago.

I live in Colorado so its super dry, and my noob ass is gettin top dollar for elbows less than two weeks after being chopped. Locally, i might add, so the people are super critical. I hang mine in the room for about 4 days and they seem really crispy but the insides still have a little hidden moisture. After that I just jar/tuppaware them for about a week and they are usually good to go! They smell like hay after a couple days and then it goes away after a couple more. Just my 2 cents and I have got no complaints other than the lazy trim job ;)

Let us know how it goes!

Normally what I do is trim and place into paper bags.. the day or morning after I hang and let dry for a couple of days.. pre stem (dry snap.. you know..a good bend almost snap at the very end..) then to the jars...

oh yeah if anybody is wondering what the ball hash is on the glove box... It is my version of charas. I obviously don't have hundreds of plants so I did the same rubbing technique as I threw the larf buds into the hash pile. Would have had more but it kept building up and falling off before I noticed. But Still happy with what I got. Tastes just like the plant. Peppery, hashy, with OG undertones (rotten dank smell)
