lol I hear ya
A watch "pot" never boils
I lowered the lights - a couple inches - to help speed the ripening process. I have 2 clones that are ready to flower, and 3 that are ready to come out - gigabud and the DD; I'm just waiting for a cool snap so I don't have to run the A/C during drying, for odor control. I have a couple jars of nearly cured... and when opened the entire room is filled with the dank smell of fine sensimilla
citrus, pepper, and spice, with skunk undertones. This grow has already exceeded all my expectations. It's the bomb. Here is the lower half of the plants I harvested the tops off of earlier - 2 to 3 weeks ago. It was definitely worth doing a staggering the harvest.
This top continued to ripen for the additional 2-3 weeks with no harm. Possible deformed male flower pushing @ 9 o' clock (center of photo near 9:30).
The best is yet to come

Just fucking sick. I do have a request could you do a tutorial on stagger harvesting. I have looked and found info so people can understand.

That's a good idea! I'll do a search to see if anyone else has covered it, but it's basically just harvesting the tops first, if the tops are ripe, and the lower buds are still immature. Then the rest of the plant is allowed to ripen up for a couple more weeks.
It was really beneficial on the heavily LST'ed plants, probably because the lower bud-sites were shaded by a thick canopy.

The clones want out!
2 are getting really big. This is one of them: it was FIMMED and LSTed - for a week - and now has 6+ tops
This is the smallest of the bunch - pinched the top - so it branches out. I have a lot of space to fill with only 9 plants
Here's couple closeups of the pinched growing tip
This is as good a result as you can hope to get - used a manicuring scissors - it will be interesting to see what she looks like next week. FIMM is only a crude way of attempting to get the same result, by the way

Thanks for stopping by diggitydank.
Smell my fingers? LOL they smell like grapefruit, after pulling the last of the indica....
Maybe I'll post a couple pics of their 5 month old skeletons. The yield seems a little light (less than 1oz bud per plant (dry), but I think that's typical for bag-seed. I took 2 clones - which I'll flower - and HPS may increase yield this time, but I think that will be the end of this run.

when I rub my plants and smell my fingers, it smells like a skunk dipped in diesel fuel and pine-sol.

This plant and her big sister were both harvested before the dawn this morning, under green lights.
I harvested a few tops off this plant a few weeks back and it has a decent cure on it already. I sampled a joint last night
Very nice head high, reminds me of the mainly sativa highs we experienced during the 70's. No paranoia whatsoever, no crash afterwards. No reason to do a smoke report on bag-seed I suppose, but by the smell, and appearance, I'd say there's a very good chance this is lemon haze.
The black thing in the background, is gigabud in darkness for the next 50 hours. I've been told that keeping a plant in darkness for 72 hours - prior to chop - is supposed to dramatically increase potency? I harvested 2 buds off the bottom of the plant for side by side comparison - at a later date - I intend to get to the bottom of this theory.
Now, I have some trimming to do - while listening to some Bob Marley.Look closely and you'll see these laying on the wires they'll be hanged from, for drying. The really nice thing about this drying box, is than the flaps can be adjusted for faster or slower drying, depending on humidity temperature and bud density.
Well that was fast
In the thumbnails (below) - I've found that food-safe vacuum containers work great for curing, because mold doesn't grow in a vacuum.
And finally, I have one more tip for any newbies; when you trim, do it near the intake on your grow, so the stench runs though your carbon filtration. The stink is incredible!

What kind of vacuum seal do you use? Finally getting close to the smoke report. When this is done I have a list of question for you brother lol

Thanks Bro
It's sea-a-meal. I still burb the jar each day, but no worries about mold.
Any questions just ask away Well I had a nice update typed out but then my IE crashed, so I'll try again on the next post. Lot's of picks coming, but most will be thumbnails since I keep getting an error when trying to upload pics.

I dig the cooler fan box set up. Does it muffle the niose well? I would like to see a pic of the inside it you have one.

I was hoping the BMS would be ripe, but I'm not seeing many amber trichs, and they need another watering. Hopefully they'll be done by the time they dry out again.
The smaller buds I harvested off the indica 3 days ago, were already feeling dry, so they were moved to a small box to rehydrate, and continue a nice slow dry. I'm using the drying and curing marijuana buds described here on amsterdam seeds site, and I recommend it highly.
first here are some pics of a cola that's pushing tons of new flowers. I trimmed some light burn off this bud a few weeks back, and now all this new growth, it's amazing! It's the heaviest bud of them all now, and had to be tied up, but I'm not ready to start recommending you prune your buds, just yet...
Here's a closeup of the same cola being held up by another beautiful cola
Sick huh?

Thanks for asking miloerx, I suppose you could put a blower in a cooler for sound deadening, but that cooler is actually an in-line carbon filter. There's a wooden frame in the center... with filter material stapled to it, a 2" bed of carbon poured over that, and finally more filter material over the carbon bed.
The blower is above the cooler/filter, wrapped in insulation, and that does help muffle the sound.

Let's bump these girls! I'm so proud... but what really made my day was when my bro - who has cancer and going through chemo - told me the sativa really helps his nausea and takes his mind off his cancer. He also made reference to the sticky icky, when describing the indica...I was hoping the BMS would be ripe, but I'm not seeing many amber trichs, and they need another watering.

"sticky icky icky"
Word used by snoop dogg to mean highly potent, sticky green buds.
"Can I get sum of that 'sticky! icky! icky!?'"
