2025 fall/winter grow

[BlueCollarBob]

Looking great! You've leaned more towards sativas and have recently started to expand into indicas a bit more, right? You seem to grow a lot of strains that appeal to my tastes. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of the end product. I normally try to avoid couch lock, but I'm also interested in finding something to shut my mind off so I can get some decent sleep. And something good for muscle aches, too.

If the trichomes in that Tangerine Dream contain what you're looking for, it sure looks like you're going to have plenty of it. Beautiful!

I miss the obvious stuff sometimes (more than a little). I need to study up and compare the content of some nutrient lines. The pH balancing of Connoisseur Bloom sounds great. Not having to add CalMag is nice, too. Do you attribute the right balance of CalMag to Connoisseur Bloom entirely, or did the pre-charged soil play a role in that?

Thanks for taking us along on your grow, again!

I believe that the N source in the nutrient line is from Cal-Nit (at least in part), that gives 2% ca in the A part of the mixture.

This is little skywalker og, all eight inches and five buds of her.

Rough life, like twenty miles of bad road, this girl has been through some weird stuff but keeps giving it her best.

day 38 since flip. Probably gonna go 65 or so as long as no weird problems arise. So far, I think I have a good two fertigations a week routine that is doing ok. Not going to be a big producer so I pin my hopes on it being awesome smoke

We shall see. If my math is correct, 3.5 weeks to go.

Harvested crystalberry and platinum GSC this morning.

Week 11, day 3. Both plants are sticky as all get out. Crystal is bigger than platinum by at least 2:1, much heavier and dense.

Now the next wait begins.
I’ve been noticing that about 6 weeks after harvest is when all the smells and flavors start showing up.

Hoping for good couch lock indicas here.

Those look fantastic~!
I always cure over 1 month and honestly have stuff jarred for years.
They can keep getting better for a couple months IME and if not exposed to light or heat stay good for a long time.

These two have been hanging in the shed stay pretty close to 60/60.

The long lanky one is crystalberry, 80% indica, supposedly low twenties for thc.
Smells funky now but was sweet when chopped.
Lots of purple sugar leaves and fans on this one. Hopefully a really colorful bud.

The more compact plant is platinum GSC. Also had a lot of purple leaves and very sugary. Sweet beyond any weed I’ve ever smelled before. I hope it maintains that aroma and has a similar taste.

Neither one was large. I’m guessing they each will fill a couple 2 qt jars. But once fully compressed, one or one and a half jars.

Update on tangerine dream which was harvested four weeks ago, smells really tasty, somewhat larfy.
Even though I don’t generally like early weed, it tastes really good and hits well.

Only an ounce or two, it was a stunted plant, but it’s more than I had before.
