Harvest & Curing When to kill it!?

[trees4meandu]

Thanks for stoppin' in Red!

These bitches are rugged, aren't they? I'm done being gentle! I'm gettin' in theree!!! I like the partial harvest idea...I'll see how it looks in a week and take the top nugs again, then move lights down and rinse and repeat.

Was glad to hear that I can chop some off! I'm tired of buyin' off the guy in the basement!!!

Never better words...wait a minute...SOMETIMES I'M THE GUY IN THE BASEMENT. But seriously that's the whole point brother. Good stuff and don't short yourself, your killing it for what you've got!!!!!! Keep it up. And like it was said in another post, just go to the grocery store and get some fresh ro water out of the Glacier machine, it will help.

Clap! Great job brother! I've done partial harvests before with great success but quite frankly what's left on the lower branches just chop whole and add to your trim for your butter... Those are just popcorn buds down there and won't put on much more. Though up ontop another week or so more will do them good.... Instead of wasting the space trying to get a gram or two more id do the last tops in another week or so, grab the popcorn and get your next girl going to take her place.... No time better than now.. get to popping what are you thinking of running next?
What nutes did you use? Great job...

Thanks for the encouragement guys! I'll get some RO...Life would be so much easier if I had a vehicle right now, but I can't afford it lol

Yoda, the only nutes I've been using at Botanicare - Veg - Bloom - and Liquid Karma. Looking forward to when I can feed her more

Also, I am germinating a Critical Jack by dinafem right now, but since my new 300w LED will be coming in a couple days, I might try and run two plants underneath instead of one, perhaps one in a 5 gal bucket and then the second one in a this smaller 2gal bucket -- I'll see how it does, just a little something extra. I think I'll have the wattage to get a couple plants in there and hopefully get adequate coverage with two panels.

I'll see how these remaining buds do in the next week and then get some Critical Jack in soil...Or maybe DWC? If I go buy some RO water then I can try that out since I have my bucket, rocks, airpump, etc...

As for the second plant, I haven't decided what to put in... I've got white widow seeds, grape muerte seeds, critical jack...Maybe I'll put another widow in, since it's seemed to be the highest yielder so far.

So many seeds I wanna try out, and especially from breeders on here, but I gotta plant what I've got first hahaha...

Hi Green plants are looking good !! them panels are good for the money i thinkand def looks like its working ok for you some nice nuggets there,you mentioned you have a water problem i have the same here my waters is as hard as arnie swaznegger lol have you looked into humic acid am gonna use on next grow have a look into it,i have a major calcium toxicity prob because the hard water and ph does not make difference either,was suggested to use a bit of humic acid with me water and nute it adds the uptake of ya nute soulution but also chelates the unwanted stuff thats no good have a look into it good luck with the new panel

If you use a dark period, harvest before lights come on if you can. Light degrades THC. At least thats what ive read and researched. Even a partial harvest clip what you want to take while its dark. Just my experience and opinion

Thanks Urban Farmer, I'll do that next time!

I took a few more buds off, and there's still several bud sites that I hope will develop! I really gave her a haircut!...

What I took off has been drying for two days, and I just vaped my first sample. Seems like it'll be a good body stone, not too heady -- which is nice.. The buds are really sticky and I think still have a couple more days of drying before I put ém into a jar since my room is around 40% RH I've been doing the 1day/10% + an extra day; so hopefully 5 days drying is good, then straight into the jar they'll go!

Critical Jack sprouted a root and should be ready for soil (or maybe a dwc bucket?) in a day or two. Not sure if I'll throw another one down or not...I might have to rush the flowering on this one depending on when the landlord wants to showoff our house So might just leave it at one lady for now!

Mojo -- I'm happy with the panels for the money. The 300w came in and I'm pretty impressed with its brightness...Can't say much for performance thus far -- we'll see if it can bring up any of these remaining 'popcorn' buds. I need to get another timer or a connector to link both my lights to a timer so that I can run ém both!!...

ALSO I've never heard of the humic acid idea -- let me know how that works out! I might buy a couple big jugs of RO so that I can get a resevoir going. Thanks!

Let that plant have a couple days under your LED and see how she likes it ...
