Smokey, thank you for for starting the grow journal! :tiphat:

Now if we could only get you over to introduce yourself!
Wonderful looking crop, BTW. A healthy, sterile grow.
Just so we're clear, the next negative comment on my thread will be your last, so lets take a deep breath, sip from the :karma Cloud: cloud, and keep the Good Vibe.

SDH, almost ready to chop:

Too much stretch? I like the cola, except for the foxtailing on the sides....
Yeah, okay...
I'll have the pics up tomorrow.
Maybe a sample snipped for tonight!
Thanks for all your patience, Friends. This grow took place at a very challenging time in me and the missus' lives.
All your help and support has been much appreciated!!! :hug:

Are you measuring your yeild in tons ?

We're snipping SDH right now, Mr. K, so pics up in just a bit, with weights, but this strain has vexed my to no end, and I understand now why swampy hates it.
As we're trimming, we're finding weird, inverted leaves, and the buds... I don't know, but to me it looks like it was trying to perpetually flower. A strange lumpy little freak!
I'll do a test bud tonight (after the updates) but I have a feeling this one may go to rubs and oils and tincs... still a nobel cause!
I weighed out the DD's last night.
DD1 came in at 1.15 oz, with a wonderful berry forward aroma, a hint of lemoney zing, and (remember, I smoke very rarely) an unbelievably smooth, almost silky smoke. I puffed on a very small chunk, but for me a quick head high, as opposed to last time,
no paranoia and very little dry mouth (my main gripe about weed).
Sorry about the pic, Brother.... That was my first grow!!

SDH is officially chopped!
For the record, never again. I didn't buy Stitch dicect, so the genetics of these beans are God knows what. I wont dip a toe into that mess!
Haircut under way:

I'm going strictly of the trichs on this gal... all milky, a very small (well under 1%) showing of amber. Very intense smell, almost skunky? I'm having a tough time nailing down the scent.
Crazy twisting going on:

Inverted leaves, twisted stems... even the bud sites at the top of the cola...some were still trying to flower, others had gone desert tan and crispy. :dunno:
The main cola:

I'm using a digital powder scale for weight, and had to cut it into thirds to meet scale max. Very, Very dense buds, but they look odd to me, almost like it was in non-stop flower mode.
Trim weight:
This is the roughest trim we've done 9quality wise), but we're trying to do every method. So ,a rough trim, box dry in shredded brown bags, and a final trim before the jars.

Final tonnage wet is 227.92 grams, or 8 oz, I weighed 3 times, on a scale made for gun powder. I believe the extra stem and rather crude first trim has a huge inpact on this. I will say, this gal has gone thirsty for some time; but I still don't buy 8 oz wet.
Maybe the sites still trying to flower are holding water weight?

The Results

Belated update on the grow:
I believe I gave dry weights for the Devils, but to refresh, DD1 came in @ 1.15 oz dry, DD2 squeeked by @ 1.25 oz dry.
I'll do a smoke report shortly, but let me say that the aroma is unreal. Sweet, fruity, some floral tones and a wonderful, sharp citrus bite to the nose.
DD2 had a more pronounce smell, but I couldn't say if it was the nutes or just the roll of the dice. Personally, I think it was just the gene trait in that particular bean coming forward.
The buds are kinda loose, and dried very dark. I don't think this photo does them justice; in natural light they're a dark, almost black, purple orange and green.

The Sour Diesel Haze, my mosted hated plant, has redeamed herself! It came in at 2.24 oz dry, but will likely loose a bit more (lucky she didn't start molding on me... I've been away, leaving the buds in a jar. Thank God for Bovida packs!). The smell has a faint floral in the background, with mabe some skunk tones, and that very strong fuel snap to it. Nice, dense buds, as well.

The root systems on all three gals stink! Not well developed at all, IMHO. Meager taps, at best. My Northern Lights had a monster root ball, as did her companion Fast Haze. These were grown using primarily teas and Alaska Fish Emultion.
I have to conclude, that while both Rock and AN did well (very similar results for me, I'll give Rock the nod for ease of use though), I though the organics produced a much healthier plant. A strong root system, even if it takes away from topside growth for awhile, in my opinion will always win.
Back to organics for me! (Although I will use up AN and Rock products, maybe try them on some veggies, and when buds are forming).
There you have it, we'll end this grow with a... woosh of air. :dunno:
AN? Rock? Both solid product lines, just not my particular cup-o-joe. I have to mark this a win for Rock Nutrients, though, just for achieving similar results with a lot less fuss. :tiphat:
