1st Grow w/Skunk #1 and 3 Unknown Seeds

[ShagMan]

What Tea Are You Using? i'm up for new things, i Have Four StrawBerry Blue's(all Females) & One Pure Gold(Female) and Two G13Power Skunks(Possibly Females) Another Month an a Half til i harvest them babies.. I'd love to know what tea it is, let me? Thanks for sum advice

Its a Composite tea that I do not use any more. It really dried out my plants and burnt their leaves when it was mixed with the other nutirents.
So I couldnt give you that as advice.
I'm not even sure to what would be good to use I'm new to it myself

 

[ShagMan]

I'm thinking the same thing brotha. I'm going to switch to plain water and start flushing. Just hit 7 weeks as of today. I will harvest probably somewhere between 8-9 weeks as my more indica dominant plants look like they will be done first. So probably 8 1/2 weeks for the indica's and 9 1/2 weeks for the more sativa ones.

Finally gettin' there. Seems like a lifetime.

How can you tell when they are done? By the trichomes right?

How can you tell when they are done? By the trichomes right?

Yup. Take a look at the trichomes through a microscope. I picked one up from Radio Shack for $15.00. Same one people here use.

I can also look at the plants and tell when they are finished. They are like any other plant that "ripens", they just get the right look. Most or all of the hairs will be brown and I can actually see the trichome coloration with my bare eyes as long as it's not under the HPS.

It's hard to describe, but after you've done enough grows you can also just "tell".

 

[ShagMan]

gotcha gotcha

so turn the hps off b4 i check the trichomes? cause that light really does change the color of everything.



and lets talk about another thing since were on the same page on practically same grow date

what method do you use during harvest drying?

I was thinking of cutting off the branches and hanging the nugs attached to the branches in a closet with the 600watt vortex fan going.

but for how long i have no idea...

any help???

Yeah, you got the idea. I just cut them down at the stalks and carry them right to my coffee table. Then I cut them into more manageable branches.

Trim off all of the fan leaves first. Don't need those at all.

Then I do a very "loose" trim where I'm basically trimming out where I don't see trichomes. If it's got trich's I leave it on there at this point.

Then hang them up to dry in the closet. Just hang string across the whole room and hooke them up there by the bottom nug on each branch.

It is good to leave your exhaust fan on for the grow room if you are using your groom to dry in.

The main concept to drying is to get them to dry as SLOWLY as possible without inviting mold. The reason is that your big buds will seem dry on the outside, but be very moist in the middle if you dry them too fast.

So, try to keep the temps down in the room while drying and keep air moving, but don't blow a fan directly on the buds (it will dry them out too fast).

If you're buds are bone dry after 3 days your method isn't very good and you need to generally find a way to get that lengthened next time. If it takes you 5 days you're right about on target and if it takes 7 days you're a pro at it.

After it's dry and before it goes into jars I give it a nice tight trimming and with these trimmings I start a "shake" jar. The shake from this jar can be used as blunt filler (about 1/2 bud, 1/2 filler), hash fixings, edibles, etc. It won't be the best smoking shit in the world, but I can't stand to throw it away when it'll get ya high.

Ok kewl so just leave my exhaust goin and turn my intake off?

I ment a 6" Vortex fan not a 600watt haha slip.

but yea so 7 days would be good?

you can tell when its dry but just feeling right?

Great job. Looks like you will be rewarded kindly. I've got 8 of them left that will go at least the full 9 weeks, but I cut down 2 of them yesterday. Have you beem checking your trichomes or are you just wanting to go 9 weeks no matter what the plants say?

 

[ShagMan]

na i just bought a magnifying glass and im checking the trichomes. they lookin pretty good right now but guna go day by day after the roots are fully flushed and checkem
