Harvest!!!

My lovely OG Kush has finished its bloom cycle and so I had a big harvest.  Here are a few pictures of the process and finish!!!!

 

Look at all those Roots

Final Product, almost 5 oz, not bad! Will only get better!

So now I have my buds in a glass bowl with an air tight lid.  I will cure it for about 2 weeks and I'll burp it everyday.

I couldn't help myself and smoked some and it is great.  I can't wait till it is fully smoke time.

weeks 4 and 5

I have not been spending too much time with my baby blue dream but she is still rockin!!!! See the difference from week 4 to 5. and Especially from week 3.

Week 4

Week 5

Week 4

Week 5

Keeping the same Phototron nutreints solution and lights are on for 18 hours out of the day.

Week 3

I just started into week 3 with my clone.  She has filled out and is over a foot tall now.  So it was time to top her, check it out.

Here she is Pre-Prune...

My Top!

 What I did was I took a pair of shears and cut in between two inter-nodes, which is the space between branches from the main stem they shoot from.  So I counted down two nodes and in between the third and second made a 45 degree cut.  That is it! Now she will split into two at the pruned location, yay!

I also completed this right before she was about to sleep and gave her an extra cup of water.  Now when she wakes up she will have tons of energy and strength to get her grow on.

I could have also made a clone out of my top.  What I would have done is dipped it in some sort of root booster or cloning gel, stuck it in a rock wool cube, and put it under a 24 hour light. That simple.

Week Two OG Phototron

Week Two began, so I switched the lights from being on 24 hours a day to 18 hours a day.  My blue dream clone is already filling in between inter-nodes due to the great vertical lighting.  I am still feeding the plant pure RO water because there is still a lot of nutrients in the moss thanks to the base formula.  But I will begin to start feeding the clone with nutrients soon.  I want a very healthy happy female.

Im using a timer to control the lighting to make sure it is on a perfect schedule, like the sun.

Baby Blue Dream

 

Buds! Buds! Buds!

Its getting close to the end.  The buds have swollen and tripled in size.  I can even start to see crystals forming on the buds!  Im hoping only two more weeks to go! In the 7th week now. 

Mi Madre

I have been so impressed with my Phototron that I got another one.  Now I also have an Original Phototron System.  This unit is classic and they told me its been around since the mid 1980's, wow that's as old as me!!!  From what I've read, it's the oldest indoor hydroponic system on the market, reliable.

I have made the executive decision to house a mother in my original.  That way I can use the clones for blooming in my LED and to donate to my collective. 

I followed the directions and transplanted a beautiful baby blue dream.  Here's how it went down:

All Supplies!!! (moss, 1 gallon RO water, CIV 75 base formula, clone, 1 phototron)

 

 

 

Added the base formula to the 1 gallon and shook well.  Added the entire bag of moss into the tron and then added the entire gallon of solution. I mixed thoroughly like a mutt.

I dug a little hole and careful placed her long roots inside it.  This baby is gonna take off!!!

Completed Transplantation....

Its Been A Long Time...

Sorry to have left you soooo long.  Life has been busy.  And so has my lovely female.  We are going into week 6 and the buds are plumping and growing in size.  There are so many budding sites.  Some of the buds may be a little tiny but there are seriously so many.  I think due to the nutrient burn she suffered some, ouch, but she is back and thriving.  I’m so excited that it’s getting closer to harvest.  I can tell though that she still has some time to grow!
