The concequence of Reg beans, over fem beans-
I made a silly mistake and it cost me the whole grow. I know shit happens but, .....wowzza. 100% male, thats fucked up, and extremely unlucky, i may take this as a sign....
ozone setup........ gone-, removed-, scraped.
Still going to clone and flower for pollen. Seeds cost way way too much for what they really are worth. Fu*&^in scumbag seed companies!.... thats a whole nuther rant...and ill let that one alone for now.

Ohmaan, that's just cruel!
But now you know why the universe sent the auto back to you - something to harvest meantime for solace

Don't forget, I started these on Nov 3rd and all germinated by the 6th. 40 days is normal for sexual expression.

Upon alot further examination, I think I may have a female. It's the other alien x hindu. This one's more tear drop shaped and the others were very much males. Like I said, I did clone all of them and will confirm sex after the flip.
On the one i kept, I LST'd it and if I'm right, it's a girl. Time will tell if I was right.

Not that I saved. If you scroll up in posts you'll find it.
Front and center fabric pot that has 2 plants in it.
The plant on the right is the female that is LST now.

When I finish a plant off I always like to flush. Some people will say, no reason to flush with organics or veganic. Well, mabey so but the flush has a more purpose than to rid the plant of stored nutrient. If you grow your plants right, they should have already consumed a good deal of the stored nitrogen by the time finishing approaches.
When I flush veganic/organic I use lots of ice, not water. As the ice melts it slowly flushes out the soil. But that's not what I'm really after, what I really mean to do is to shock the roots, but not in the traditional sense, like 15 gallons of ice water all at once would do.
I keep the plant in the grow cab so it remains in the ambient temps it was grown in. The ice melts and gradually cools the soil and this will drastically reduce microbe activity, almost completely stop it actually. Without the microbes to assist in facilitation of nutrients, the plant futher canabalizes it's stored carbohydrates. All parts of the plant even roots have storages for nutrients. All functions and reallocation of fluids start from the root system.
Also an increase in resin is a result of the root system shutting down. The female in a last ditch effort, senses her life quickly comming to an end, and makes more resin to hopefully become pollinated. Plants have 1 main purpose and that's to make more generations. Feed and breed, period.
I'll keep adding/replacing ice for 2 days, and keep her in the grow cab under 20/4.
On the third day, I'll remove her entirely the grow cab, and from the soil, roots are washed off and I put her in a DWC with room temp water. All the while now, she is in complete darkness for 2 days.
On the 5th day, I'll towel dry the roots, and hang her upside down with the roots system still intact.
Fluid reallocation and carbohydrate canabalization still continues until the roots have completely dried and shrivel.
I also pluck all fan leaves off after they've been canabalized and are drained off any usefulness. By this time as Im sure alot of you all know, the spent fans are extremely easy to remove. They almost even just fall off with a flick of the finger.
Then it's just matter of the buds and stalks evenly drying out to make curing possible.
I like to leave a little sugar leaf shag on the buds when i manucure them. I feel that this is an added protection to the massive resin content inside.
Super clean, fragrant, frosty, potent and a finished product that contains way more total cannabinoid than the traditional harvesting method. I grow medicine, not dope.
Here's the first step with the ice.

Some slight purple comming out.
These buds are extremely fragrant. Stealth is completely blown! Lol
Clones are ok, 1 is weak but all are in open enviroment with air circulation. Should just be a matter of a few days now before roots take hold.
The alien kush is going strong. I had to give a little trim to open up the middle for all those side shoots. Also topped all of the mains to push hormones to the sides in the middle. She's gonna be one hell of a bush.
Here's a sample I clipped 1 week ago. Just some larf bud off the auto.

yeah it really is alot of ice. I went through almost 30lbs. 1 7lb and 1 20lb bag.
But im convinced that its worth it. and really after all the time, effort and costs involved in our hobby, i cant argue with an extra 10 bucks to ripen.
for yours because theyre in 30 gallon fabrics, id say 2 20lb bags at least

Good eye dude. I did decide to skip the DWC part of my harvest method because of this. I prefer to have the amber glands via drying. This plant is about a 1/2 week over due so to preserve more THC I decided to chop off the branches and hang. If she would have hit the dwc the glands would have matured that much more, and the 3 days would have gave me alot more amber.

Weighed up at 245g wet.
That's with the branches included of course. Not bad tho for a 16" tall auto.
