Day 70

I cleaned up Rondell a lot, and he already has some largish buds growing. Toby is just straight densely packed bud sites. The two most mature plants (Phineas & Alfred) are pretty close. I took them to the laundry room under more neutral light and inspected as much of the buds as I could, and there are noticeable ambers visible here and there on the buds - maybe less than 5%.

I may pull them Thursday or Friday - I want to go a little longer than that but I have a ridiculously busy couple weeks and a fuckton of work hours to do. On the plus side, the two others will have a ton of good light and space for their last couple weeks!

I know they're not "big" compared to other peoples that I see on here, but they are big to me!

Day 13

#1 is exploding! I realized the humidifier is misting right near it and so I moved it over near #3 & #4 to see how they respond.

Fourth nodes growing and I will top at 3rd when the fifth emerges, starting my manifolds.

The auto (#4) I will be experimenting with "quadlining" on.

Day 70,

Phineas was harvested tonight. It took me about five hours, seven or eight glasses of whisky, and a lot of praying not to screw it up.

He was placed in single layers in brown paper bags and then into the fridge. Tomorrow I will source materials to build screen drying racks like I've seen others use to slide into the slots for more effective space usage because Phineas FILLED the damn 4.2 cu ft fridge.

Phineas gave me 30 ounces of wet weight trimmed buds and a little over a pound of trim and popcorn buds that went into the freezer. I'll make butter with them later this week. I'm hoping that after drying I get a couple ounces - I know it loses a lot of weight so two ounces is what I'm shooting for.

Drink of the night - Kavalan Whisky.

And here's a track for your evening (it's 4am but whatever lol):

I did the best I could by my figuring, for a first time.

The Linda Fat Blueberry Auto hasn't been topped yet, but probably tomorrow.

I'll stake down #1-3 tomorrow or the next day once I figure out how I'm going to do that with buckets. Y'know, if they don't all die after the massacre that I just visited upon them....

Day 71

Harvested Toby today (who I have been mistaking for Alfred, as I was informed LMAO). 26 oz wet weight, and 7oz trim and popcorn which went into the freezer. Tedo the Chihuaua overseeing the work.

I'm not sure I'm quite on point with my trimming but this time it only took us four and a half hours instead of six. Lol.

Into the fridge for that slow cold dry. Racks are made from aluminum window screen kits cut to size. We ran out of room and there's only two plants in there! My better half - who gives me the side eye every time I buy more grow related stuff - was like "Uh, you need to order a bigger fridge. Like, a full sized one." :rofl:

Alfred and Phineas soaking up ALL the light now. Alfred is looking like he's ready, but I'm hoping both of them can hold out two more weeks until the fridge can be emptied into curing buckets. Alfred is just solid sticks of bud, crazy how his phenotype expression is so varied from the others.

Topped off reses with RO water. Trained the three mainlined girls, also topped the Linda Fat Blueberry and removed the first node completely.

Day 16.

Murphy is an asshole! I broke one of the babies training her. Bummer.

Not the end of the world, sometimes learning processes suck. Gonna half-manifold her for 4 colas if she lives.

Cleaned the big fan leaves off the others.
