OK, so they are all down, dried and jarred with Boveda 62's for a month's curing.
PAK1 came down on day 118, 65 days into flower, and it wasn't soon after that I chopped PAK2... day 120-67.
From the front door, she looked big....
.....but from the side door, she was HUGE.
She was full of beautiful, sticky bud.....
... and once chopped, you could see how the supercropped stems were laid out for maximum spread...
Des Fran came down on day 124-71.... I really made a mess of her during the grow. Not giving her enough space by allowing PAK2 to crowd her out, and chopping loads of stems off her to give her breathing space meant I lost out on a fair bit of product.
Here she is from the front....
.... and from the side door.....
Here's a close up of that main supercropped branch there in front....
.... and this is her all cropped....
Gorilla was the last to be harvested, on day 127-74.
After a difficult veg, she came good in bloom....
This fat cola was the one that I nearly broke off while supercropping....
This is the whole branch, with the supercrop on the left.....
....and a closer view of the damage repair.....
I didn't use any masking tape or anything.... I just supported the branch and let nature do her shit....
Finally the nude shot.....
Here's the final weigh in.... probably a bit drier than I wanted, but they are now jarred with Boveda 62's to bring them up a touch.
PAK1 6.23oz (176.6g)
PAK2 9.06oz (256.8g)
Des Frans 4.52oz (128.1g)
Gorilla 6.38oz (180.8g)
PAK2 was obviously the pick of the bunch, but PAK1 was very much the surprise. She started so slowly, and didn't get much height in veg, but she really came good in bloom, giving me nice simple stems of hard fat bud.
Both PAKs have a very fruity taste.... @stoney 91 I wouldn't say pineapple yet, but it's tropical for sure, and in a month, the taste will be full on.
Gorilla was also a surprise, a good weight of lovely bud.... and early smokes are very promising.... heavy hitting gear!
Des Fran was a bit of a let down.... I was really looking forward to a shit load of Destroyer bud.... but I'll have to make do with 4.5oz. It's really sticky and smells really complex.... but the predminant smell is unmistakably violets. I'll have to hide this lot from the Missus!
Last week we got the message from the Managing Agent, and we have a house inspection in 2 weeks.... good timing!
I've already taken the tent down and packed up all my growing shit.... you'd never guess!
7 days before she comes, I'll plant some more babies....
I'm thinking Blue Amnesia Auto XXL, Glueberry OG Auto, Night Queen Auto, and one more.,,, maybe Toofless Alien or Daiquiri Lime.
It has to be quick cos we're planning on moving out end of August. I'll certainly do Photos again, but with 3 months to get a grow in.... Autos are the only way, and they're a fuck sight easier.
So thank you for joining me in my first Photo grow.... a learning experience, and just over 26 ounces of hard sticky buds makes a fine reward for all that hard work!
