Just Another First Grow

Day 120 / Day 68 of Flower (just over midway through week 9 of flower)

 

These are not all 8 / 9 week strains. In fact none are considering none are ready. It seems as if the GSC and Chocolope will be taking longer to ripen, the CBD Critical Mass I am unsure of but has a hectic fade going already. I'd rather wait a bit longer as I want to make sure I get a decent amount of CBD from it.

 

I will check the trichomes this Friday evening if I get a chance, otherwise on Saturday and hopefully I can at least chop one or two of the plants.

I had a whoopsie last weekend where I bent the one branch on the Tropicana, so I decided to cut it and dry it. It's busy curing at the moment.

 

A few pics of the ladies, not the best but at least you get an idea on how things are progressing.

So I cut down the Tropicana this weekend as it was ready, the rest not quite. The GDP appears to be the next plant which will get chopped.

 

Yield on the Tropicana seems a little disappointing, although it is frosty AF and the quality of the trim is insane! I am keeping the Tropicana trim separate, I plan on making some oil from it - so no easy way to measure the potency or yield form the trim unfortunately.

 

Below are some pics just before harvesting, I also did a bud wash just to ensure the buds are nice and clean!

So last night I decided to harvest the Bruce Banner and GDP.

 

Man oh man, do they both have a heavy smell! The BB smells rather cheesy to me the GDP is very similar with a slight difference.

 

The Bruce Banner, a very sexy looking plant. The polyploid looks awesome and the fade and colour on the leaves looks phenomenal I think.

The stems could not hold up the weight, the stems were not very strong on this BB for some reason.

Here you can see the stem of the polyploid mutation vs a normal stem. It looks like a flat HDMI cable in a way:

I will post the GDP pics shortly.

@420SA I cannot upload anymore pictures, it's telling me I have a limit of 117.19MB - is this limit for all pictures uploaded or per thread?

That's per post. And the 117.19MB refers to the max accumulated size of all the photos you want to upload to the post

So last night I noticed some nanners on my CBD Critical Mass, upon inspection it appeared as if none had opened so hopefully not pollen anywhere.

 

It was not quite ready, but I decided to cut it anyways as I am not going to go and loo for nanners every day and remove them. There were amber trichomes on all 3 pieces I checked but not as much as I'd have liked and more clear trichomes than I'd have liked - especially considering it is a CBD strain.

She smells like sour fruit candy, has a zing which makes me think of sour sweets... 

 

So my tent is looking very empty right now, I only have three plants inside there.

Charlottes Angel which has been put in less than a week ago

Chocolope

GSC

 

I must still check the trichomes for the Chocolope and GSC, but the GSC has more dark pistils compared to the Chocolope and I therefore assume the GSC will be harvested sooner.

 

The nanners:

She has been struggling to keep the bud up:

Wow that BB looks good. I've noticed that once the manners starts forming it was time to harvest or harvest time is past due.

If you look at the trichomes, there was not much Amber. It's a cbd plant so I would have liked at least 20 - 30% Amber.
It was closer to 5% give or take.

The Bruce Banner can reach upto 30% THC apparently, its certainly very frosty so I wouldn't put it past the strain. Its BB #3 in terms of pheno.

OK I see. Never grew out a cbd strain before. Are they the same as normal plants???

30% THC will take tolerance a step up again

Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk


Yeah, grows the same. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference except the resin is dialed down a bit, more like my Chocolope and GSC and less like the other plants I grew. Frosty but not next level.

I want to start growing some higher 30% strains, so how that is.
Anesia tested their Future #1 at 37% and@greenkush has seeds on the way so hopeei can get a clone or two :D

Inzane in the Membrane is 30 - 35% THC

Grow out some of the hard hitters if I can call it that, some of the most potent out there.

So the Tropicana weighed in at 52g dry.

 

Also some pics of the Bruce Banner #3 buds, as you can see even the smaller buds have some nice colour on them. Excuse the shitty pics, poor lighting in the room.
I put them into jars tonight with Boveda packs, will wait for the RH to stabilize before I weigh them.

 

Still waiting for the GSC to mature so I can harvest. The Chocolope is still part of the grow, albeit I have a dedicated thread for that and seems as if it will take the longest to mature.

So some dry weights in some plants harvested.
The 90g dry from the Bruce Banner was really quite a surprise considering the size of the plant.

The cbd critical mass needs to be weighed again as when removing the bud the scale reflected a -6g so it wasn't zero'd properly I suspect.

On Friday I also decided to cut down the GSC, so she is busy drying. I suspect she will be of a low yield as she wasn't a very big plant.

I'm now just waiting for the Chocolope to finish up and then I'll have harvested all 6 plants from my tent and can get true, final figures in terms of yield. 271c949d2db7e748237c0aecf21eaad5.jpge7439901cfa413c8faa4d3e53d11369e.jpg33b5d21bb509483beef559afd4f646d2.jpg

  • 2 weeks later...

The GSC came in at 47g dry... The lowest yielding plant so far - still got the Chocolope...

 

A quick summary of the dry weights so far.

 

Bb - 90g

Gdp - 70g

Cbd critical mass - 67g

Tropicana - 52g

Gsc - 47g

 

 

This brings me to a total of 326g dry so far and I am expecting at least 50g dry from the Chocolope, if so that'll bring me to around 370 - 380g dry from my tent and that leads to over 1g per watt at the max power I was giving the plants (360w) and I feel as if that was excessive and I could get away with less power.

Had I grown 6x BB plants yield would be insane!

So the dry weight from the Chocolope is in, 84g.

 

That bring my harvest to a total dry weight of 410g from a 1.2m x 0.6m tent (0.72 square meter).

I ran my LEDs at a max of 360W, although turned them down towards the end but lets work on 360w, that gives me a 1.14g per watt - not superb but I do feel 360w was excessive for the space and that I could have achieved a similar yield from less power.
