First Harvest: Barney's Farm Liberty Haze - 88 days flowering

[Amaximus]

<Excerpt from my journal, I just wanted to share my first harvest - How did I do trimming for a first timer?>

Ok, I finally got it done. I harvested my first plant!
It took me over 2 hours (LOL) to do the single plant but I had a ball doing it. Had myself a 6 pack of Corona, smoked a few bowls and listened to some music.
Although I could see where this could get real tiresome after a few plants at a time.

I just wished I waited for a cooler day. I just sat in my grow room with no A/C and sweltered. I must've lost 5 pounds. (Had to be done this way, my son is on summer vacation and I couldn't do this with the door open so.......................)

Liberty Haze and some bud shots before touching her. (that sounds dirty)

I did not take wet weight. I don't really care what it weighs wet. I'll get back to ya's with what the harvest was after it has dried & cured.

PS - Anyone else harvest any Liberty Haze yet? Just curious because I haven't found a single grow to completion with this strain prior to mine.

Good growing my friend congratulations!

 

[Amaximus]

Thanks a bunch bullwinkle. Let's hope I got drying/curing down. I can't wait to have a taste!

 

[EliteGuru]

What lighting was used ?

Be patient my friend and I'm sure you'l get the hang of drying and curing then you'll be quite pleased and stoned.

What lighting was used ?

Vegged under 300+ watt CFL & flowered with Blackstar 180w & Blackstar 240w LED panels, drawing around 275+ true watts.

Be patient my friend and I'm sure you'l get the hang of drying and curing then you'll be quite pleased and stoned.

After 12 weeks of flowering I have plenty of patience, It's the home stretch baby! I just hope I end up with nice smelling, smooth hitting dank. I'd hate to go all this way and fuck up the cure. But I've got my hygrometers all ready so hopefully this won't be a big deal.

Next week another haze will be coming down, then I'll be waiting on 2 more that are lagging behind. Then probably a GDP and sweet black angel soon after. Looks like I'll be getting plenty of practice.

Thanks for joining in guys. Stay high.

did you top this plant or anything?

did you top this plant or anything?

Yes, I topped the harvested LH as well as 3 others about three to four weeks into veg. Other than topping them all once, that is all I did to them.

Lol. Thanks. I can't wait to jar them up and start curing them. I was worried that my buds might be fluffy and dry too fast but I checked them earlier and they're dense & moist. I'm happy so far. I'll tell ya one thing, growing is addictive!

 

[GuerillaGrowers]

lemme know how they turn out tasting etc..and potency.. i like barney farm seeds

 

[GuerillaGrowers]

hoping to have my pics up tomorow so i can show my oh god babies

 

[Garm]

Can't wait for the smoke report.

 

[Amaximus]

Tossed the buds into jars today to start curing. I'll take a nibble in about a week and see where we stand.

I've tasted some popcorn buds since I chopped but needless to say they're a little harsh so I'm not even going to get into a smoke report until after the cure. I will say however that I got a nice functional head high and the fucking giggles like a kid. Also got a bad case of the munchies. lol.

<Another excerpt from my grow journal. Had some mildew problems and gave these three plants a h2o2 wash after the chop. If interested in more details on my grow or how I got to where I am my grow journal is linked at the bottom of all my posts. For now, here are some quick photos after harvesting three more yesterday.>

Just wanted to post some quick photos from yesterday...

The plants hanging in the tent, drying, after their h2o2 soak, before being trimmed. I will never hang them like this before trimming again. What a pain in the ass. All the leaves hung upside-down and stuck to the buds. What a hassle.

The three Liberty Haze mostly trimmed and drying. Today I'll give them a fast manicuring and re-hang them. I ran out of time yesterday. It is hard to see, But on the left side behind the bag is a jar with the curing bud from the first plant harvest. Oh yes, Thanks to puffenuff for the hanging tip. What a breeze!

Four very sad, very empty pots. But not for long!

Very nice. I just got some LH from Barney's, and plan to grow them in September. It's too hot here now.

You say you topped the plants. Could you describe how you topped them? Which node?

Did you do any other pruning, such as supercropping?

Thanks. The LH appears to be a nice strain. I've only taken a few samples since the chop and through the first week of cure but it is already smooth and has a pleasant head high that still makes my skull feel like it weighs 10 pounds. heh. Just keep in mind this strain has a long flower time. I think i went 13 or 14 weeks. I even switched the lighting down to 11/13 towards the end to finish them off.

I just topped them. Minor pruning after I topped them to lollipop them a little bit. But that is all. No doubt they would take well to supercropping. Nice sturdy strain.

Hi, im 21 days into flower with my liberty haze. I only grew 1 seed from my 5 pack its not where i thought it should be from the advertised 60 to 65 day flower time. How many seeds did you grow and how many differant phenotypes did you have?

I grew out all five of my Liberty haze seeds which only showed one sativa dominant phenotype. I found flower times to be much longer than advertised. Mine took anywhere from 88 days to 91.

 

[jgavones]

Ya mine is Definatly sativa dominant. Is the sativa the best pheno that you grew from your five seeds?
