Nice to have ya D.tea! How is the smoke? I have never smoked it and am curious. I am happy so far that the smell has been very low. I can get really close and smell her and its really good, but she doesnt stink up the place at all.

The smoke is fantastic. Not saying I've had plenty of known strains. Some AK-47, a few types of kush, but still nothing impressed me more then the NL my local friend grew outdoors one summer. Blew my head back. your in for a treat as long as your cure it right. Be patient :)

I have waited this long...other than an initial smoke sample to compare cure times...the majority will go for at least 4 weeks.

Yeah man, I was skeptical of the whole long curing thing until I tried it myself. I can tell you that the potency of my buds are is almost twice after 10 week cure than even 4 weeks, and the effect lasts way longer as well. If you can reserve some of your harvest for a longer cure, I recommend it. If you can't, well I understand lol.

Do you still have to burp the jars after 4 weeks if you go for a long cure?
Click to expand...
Good question. I've been burping about once a week or once every two weeks and that seems to be enough. Maybe it's not necessary though after the initial 4 weeks if it's dried enough... but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

From what I have read 4 weeks would be a minimum. Curing has something to do with the continued slow chemical breakdown of the sugars and starches in the marijuana that enhances the smoke, flavor and taste. I cant get terrible specific but thats what I have taken from reading. Those starches and sugars that need to break down cause the marijuana to taste harsh. Also this allows chlorophyll that is in the plant to break down making your smoke taste less like plants. Its safe to say that at least 4 weeks is a good bet for curing. Feel free to share your experiences with this, as many will benefit for sure.

I also took a few more pictures today. My girl is still growing nicely. She was watered today with ph'd water only till I had some runoff. Please dont confuse a slight runoff with making it rain. Making it rain is watering with at least as much ph'd water that it would take to fill your growing container twice or more.

Enjoy the pictures.

Lol yes I'm a bit curious about this too, mine looks like a bushed out + sign lol I'm going to top my clones or atleast half of em arch style lol

I can tell you that she like a wheel with spokes from the top. Each of those outside colas is a brach straight out from center. All of the middle growth stems off of those branches or is a secondary branch. Ill see what I can do about a picture without disrupting her to much. Ill have to take all of my LST ties off.

CD my friend, if I ever have buds on this plant as big as a coke can I will love you forever for putting it out there and personally fly you to me for a smoke..lol. Im not saying it couldnt happen or that I dont want it to happen, I just didnt think that it can be possible with a plant this size.

If there is anything more that I can do to make coke can sized buds..cough up the info folks...lol. I am more then willing to shoot the Moon.:lol:
