New Grower My first grow - 5 Autoflower plants started ~3/28/2013

[dictate]

So I went to check on the 1/2 WoS Kush Ryder I took down, was going on 3 days drying now. The buds were very brittle and crispy like. I bent the stem on one of them and it didn't snap, just bent. I figured it was because the buds were sort of fluffy and smaller. Alot of them were side branches. I got worried and decided to manicure them to smokable shape and cut off any excess stem. They are like I would get them in a zip from my local dealer. I suspect they are still pretty moist on the inside, but I jarred them nevertheless. I will still burp the jars very often and monitor to see if the outside gets super moist in 24 hours.

Looks really crystallized. I'm really proud I grew this haha... and not bad 19.1 grams semi dry from a half a plant.

My scissors are super sticky, how do I remove this stuff? If you guys have any tips, please chime in!!

I smoked some of this stuff and it's a real heady high, much more so than the properly dealer cured sour og i've been use to smoking. Makes me much more talkative

Good lookin final product there, dictate! :thumbs: Congratulations - isn't it freaking AWESOME to be smoking buds you grew yourself?? So excited for you!

We have a small jar we pour rubbing alcohol in (91% is what's on hand at the moment), and you can rest the scissor tips in it for a little while and rub them clean with a paper towel or napkin! The nice thing about a jar is you can put the top on and re-use it. I've also put the alcohol on a cotton ball and put in some elbow grease on the blades (LOL), and it works but it's easy to get cut if you're not careful.

Hey dictate dont meant to hijack your thread but cant find no info on this strain AK AUTo from blimbnurn seeds. Im growing a Ak auto she wont flower for nothing. She popped May 8th and now we are in June 20 and still nothing but pistols every where she is 27in tall past the 2ft mark.

I flipped her to 12/12 for 2 days and still nothing I have been stressing her though with defoliation because she was growing fast and tall as hell my tent is only 6in tall and she looks like she wants to get to 3 to 4 feet tall and my lights are right there. My setup is dwc 5 gal ph is 5.8 ppm 881 250w hps nutes are Jungle Juice 3 part and Gh rapid start. Any insight would be gratly appreciated.

Looks like your Blimburn Auto AK is much bigger than mine. Keep it at 12/12 for awhile longer and see what happens. I had my G13 Diesel Auto and White Widow Auto take forever to start budding. They had pistils for the longest.

Yea thats what I was thinking but I think she will be ok you know with dwc you get them monster bushes I had to pluck the F out her to slow her down she probably would've been like 4ft by now. Crazy growth bro! I even thought about cloning her since she didnt auto yet and thought maybe tude slipped me a non auto. I wish I had colloidal silver I would try and get some seeds out of her and keep her around because of the growth rate. Question whats yours smelling like I cant distinguish the smell and did the 12/12 affect your yield?
