A Cornucopia of Delightful Cannabis Cultivars

Misting with water with neutralize any escaped pollen (just in case)

I neglected to do that, one of my friends told me to put a bag over the plant before removing from the tent but I panicked and took her out as soon as I caught it. I think I got lucky, because a few lower buds snapped off a few of the plants and I dried the buds the past couple days and broke them up and I dont see any signs of seeds or seed casings so I think I got really lucky
 
Getting really close to harvesting these plants and I’ve got a slight problem. My normal drying spot is a boiler room in my basement but I’ve been dealing with a plumbing issue the past month and getting water in my basement which is raising the humidity up to the high 70s even with my dehumidifier running non stop so I have to come with up a different method for this one since the basement isn’t an option at the moment. I’m thinking about trying to dry them in the 4x4 tent but with the 3x3 on the same room I’m afraid I’m gonna have a tough time hitting my normal parameters of 68F 60rh. Do you guys think my crop will be ruined if it’s 75f in that room ? It’s not gonna be ideal but it’s the only option
 
I would use the paper bag method to slow them down and probably jar them earlier with an eye to burping which I usually don't have to do when I jar.
IMO 75 should not be a real big deal.

Yeah it’s not gonna be ideal but I think 75 shouldn’t be horrible I’m just gonna have to bag them up earlier. Just sucks that I had everything planned out perfectly but didn’t account for a flooded basement
 
Not looking good plan B is gonna be happening tomorrow night. This was the reading in the dry room this morning with my dehumidifier running non stop the past 5 days. Trying to upload a screenshot of my Govee but for some reason it’s not working. It’s at 78R 78RH right now down there and I’m super bummed that I have to wait two weeks now before I flip the clones but it is what it is

Hell yeah! My favorite part of growing, chopping it all down to start a new one.

Yeah I always struggle with this part and end up letting them go too long. I don’t have the luxury of chopping a few at a time as they finish perfectly since my normal dry room is too humid and hot right now so I have no choice but to chop them all at once which is making it tricky. What I did to try and negate that was I took a bud from the plant that looked like it needed the most time and if the trichs were all cloudy then id chop tomorrow if not I’d let them go one more week. I think they’re all cloudy what do you think ?

That sounds like a logical solution to that issue.
I think they are in the window for sure, but id prolly chop friday just for those couple extra days.
 
Today is day 68 and I still haven’t chopped yet . There was one sawa pheno in the tent still showing some white pistols and taking forever to finish so I’m gonna wait a few days and chop at day 70 on Wednesday night. It’s torture waiting to harvest but I’m hoping the extra week adds some thc and raises the terpene % a little bit. In the past I’ve been impatient and took them as soon as they looked acceptable but as I’ve gotten a little more experience I’ve learned to have some patience and always give them a little bit longer to ripen but damn it’s really hard playing the waiting game, and what’s worse is I’m gonna try and take a t break for 30 days while this stuff cures to reset my tolerance for football season

70 days is 9 weeks plus. Most cultivars I've grown, regardless of breeder claims, are 10 weeks minimum. I would check at end of week 10 then start deciding what ripeness level you want.

I checked them yesterday and they’re pretty much done I like to shoot for about 20% amber and it’s really close there was just one strain in there that was taking it’s time
 
Plants are done drying and have been sitting in turkey bags the past couple days. I’m gonna leave them in the bags for a week then take my time and trim up a different plant each day for the next 10 days after that and then place them in grove bags for storage. Trimmed up a few testers here is macdragon, lemon drip and chocolate marshmallows

Started trimming these buds and so far the yield is a little lighter than I had originally expected. I pulled 1 oz exactly on the macdragon which was the smallest plant and I’ve trimmed half of the hazelnut cream and have an oz of that trimmed with probably another oz waiting to be trimmed. There are 8 bags left to trim up and they’re similar to the hazelnut bag so I’m estimating around 19oz for this grow. The quality seems to be pretty good on the majority of them so 19 isn’t too horrible. Next batch coming up is clones of hazelnut cream, chocolate marshmallows along with 1 bahama mama, 3 blissful wizard, and 3 79 xmas bud for a total of 9 plants. Shooting for Sep 7th for the flip
 
I learned a valuable lesson today, always keep you nutrients in a cool dry room. Glad I checked my bloom powders before flipping because the humidity in the room must have ruined the dry powder. I’ve been using crop salt nutrients that come in a resealable bag and the seal must not have been tight and moisture got in and turned my bloom a and b into a science fair project it was like a bag of crystals rock solid so I had to order more bloom powder
 
Trimmed up the Gary Poppins, she’s a nice one has a funky gassy fruity nose on her and I like her bud style. This one was tricky to trim I had to really get in there it was stressful but I did the best I could. This one yielded on the small side too with 68g but the quality seems to be really nice so ill take that trade

Another grow in the books. I scrapped the 3 clones in the veg tent. I had to dry my plants In the same room as the veg tent was in and I think a combination of lower temps and and lack of light really did a number on them. Also the plants they came from were good but imo not good enough to warrant keeping the plant as a mother so onto the next one I go. I put the 3 Xmas bud plants in the flower tent so I get some Xmas bud this season and I have a 2 blissful wizard seedlings that’s two weeks old, a bahama mama that needs about a month before moving into the flowering tent and 2 stray fox feeebies I’ve had for while now Hollywood pure kush x sunshine daydream. I know growing that ssdd is gonna piss me off that my sunshine 4 seeds deal fell through but I’ve heard good things about strays hpk butter pheno cut and I’m intrigued. Here are some final pics of the harvest

My 3 79 Xmas bud plants took forever to show their sex. Had to wait until day 8 of flower and ended up with 1 female out of the 3 which sucks. In the veg tent the largest plant is the bahama mama feminized the two that are at two weeks are blissful wizard and the two seedling are a strayfox freebie I had sitting around collecting dust Hollywood dream hpk x ssdd. The next batch has been planned already. A little salty that my transaction for the sunshine 4 pack fell through so I’m gonna run some bohdi packs next gonna go with black triangle, Sundance, and peach hashplant

on a side note it’s a shame I don’t have another room and tent available to grow out any males because at day 8 the one male had some nice frost and actually had some smell to the stem rub with some nice balls on him now I’m gonna always wonder if that could’ve been the stud that created some great seeds but oh well maybe next time
