Blackberry Gum & Critical Orange Punch

[KK26]

Thanks pal

These are nice plants to grow and always give well.

Was down to just less than a jar of each of these so this harvest will fill a lot of jars up by the looks of it.

Just hate chopping though.

Got some proper girls there fella great work

Didn't have them time or the effort to support the Critical Orange Punch ant longer so I chopped them both this morning. They were getting in the way are trying to support them more just made more problems and potential for a few broken colas. No way so down they came.

Both were 8 weeks and 1 day with all cloudy trichs so will be fine with a slow dry then brown paper bags once most of the moisture is out of it.

Just got fed up of them flopping all over and in the end they were just laid out a cross all the others so needed to be done.

Just a few pics of the first I chopped but forgot pics for the second one because I took my time and had a right session, I don't have much better to do.

There'll be a pleasing amount from them I think. Nice and chunky.

Now these 2 are gone I'm left with the 4 Blackberry Gum and they have mostly been at the back of the tent so hard to get to with floppy colas all over. Anyway, I got the chance for a good inspection. They are in their 8th week too and I hope I'm not tempting fate but they are really doing well. One in particular is fucking huge and solid all the way up her arms so I've spread all 4 out the get another week say of cooking.

Anyway, pics

Flipped on April 19th ..... so I'm just about 4 weeks into flower.
Around 4 weeks from harvest, give or take a week.

Not sure how you could tell just from pics but it's ripe. All cloudy will have the desired effect. Chopped them before at this stage and always turned out very nice. It'll be fine.

Guidetime is actually 8 weeks and that is very possible if they are happy.

Also looking at yours at 4 weeks it looks somewhat different pheno, not as tall and and more littler budsites instead of less big ones.

If you are 4 weeks now with 3 to go as you say that'll be only 7 weeks, a week less than me

It's all good.

The end is nigh for these girls. Within the next week or so I'd say.

Trichs cloudy on all plant but splashes of amber on the tallest girl which is really showing time is fast approaching.

Some lovely colours on these when out the light and they are big, will be a decent yield.

Restock the inventory is in order.

Not long at all now for the remaing 4 x Blackberry Gum.

Nearly 9 weeks (62 days exactly) and cloudy trichs on all with a few amber on the biggest girl which is giving off spent leaves daily.

Could have been chopped now but thought about it over a joint or 3 and decided fuck it. I gave them another water. I just don't fancy hours of chopping and trimming tonight so they can wait.

Just a few pictures.




By the way sarahJane211 that COP is drying nice and slow, now in brown paper bags and smelling fucking lovely. Looks well too covered in trichs.

Looking good my man great work

 

[Budbr00]

Definitely look good bro check my grow out I got jackberry and rainbow kush about 3 weeks in now

They're all coming down.

4 Blackberry Gum remaining (well 2 and 3/4s) are being felled.

Fucking shame it is because they are wonderful and even more so now I'm getting the closest I've been for week to the ones at the back.

They are big, sorry but even if I say so myself, chunky as..... and even their whole structure. Thick solid meaty branch's like wood dowel. Even when trimming these are good because there is some real meat within everything about the plants. So easy to trim and I'm just here taking my time getting fucked on half a dozen pre rolls that I already made. I'm on number 3 now, joint break, and my eyes must be like piss holes in the snow because they feel like it.... I'm am really stoned but strangely content in this silence.

Right.... 2 and 3/4s left to go.

Half time pics

All down thankfully, was starting to get to me in the end.

There's a very good haul. I think they will do me proud.

The Critical Orange Punch which was chopped a week ago is looking nice too. Both stink like fuck but totally different but I've had this before. Another day in brown bags then in the jars.

 

[KK26]

Complete darkness, 2 fans circulating air around the top 1/3 of the tent, buds hung half way on wire across the tent and temp a very steady 68F with RH sitting at 40-42%.

They'll stay here 4 days then cut from stems and into brown paper bags for another 4-5 days in the same temp/RH conditions.

Although very smokable after this, it then goes to jars which I open as often as I can remember................ once a day, once a week, a month, 6 months...... never......its all good.

Pleasing harvest I think and sorting out the next, no rush though.

Individual scrog next time, only 4 - 5 plants, pure MH 5200k for veg (maybe a week or 2 of flower too) then the 600 HPS Growlux for flower. Last time I used a MH was about 12 - 14 years ago so a return to the past which will be interesting.

600 watt HPS

1 gpw.....possible?

I don't weigh usually but because the main cola came off the biggest plant at 7 weeks (as posted) and I decided to weigh it because it was big......18grams alone it weighed nicely dry.

Now they are all down I might weigh the lot because there seems to be more than usual and the density is insane so it has me curious. Ran out of brown paper bags and I had 22!

The 2 Critical Orange are dry, smells and looks lovely. Pleasing yield for those 2 looking at it.

The 4 Blackberry Gum has just gone into 22 brown bags a day earlier than planned because I don't want them too exposed as it's fairly hot here and they are drying a little faster on the outsides than I had hoped. Now enclosed in the brown bags it will dry more evenly.

 

[KK26]

Dont usually weigh at all, just into jars is the usual way but because a top cola had to to chopped early which weighed 18g alone got me curious as to what it all weighed.

In total for the 2 x Critical Orange Punch & 4 x Blackberry Gum = 570g = 22.8oz = 0.95gpw.

I'm happy with that.
