pHarmers Sustained Organic Living Adventure w/ HiLEDs

Subbing!  Beautiful grow(s) man!  

 

Ohh man, guys I think I need a drum roll. Light up your joints, pipes, bowls, bongs, vapes, blunts, or doobs.

It's all done! Just finished trimming up Silver and laid her skeletal corpse to rest. I have all the trimmings in a bag, but I did all my trimming over a silk screen box with two different micron screens. Can't remember off the top of my head the numbers.



Left pile is the goood goood stuff, and the right pile was sitting on top of the smallest screen. This was just a teaser, here's my stash. These are pint jars, im not in the big boy quart jars yet haha.



Top 3 jars were taken 2 days early. I got antsy and started trimming and thankfully pHarmer told me to hold my horses, silver wasn't ready yet. Stems were still flexible. So I gave it another 2 days and the little stems snapped in my fingers, just a tiny bit of flex before they went, perfect. Spent the next 2 and a half hours trimming.

The colas were very dense I loved it. I got lots of little popcorn buds, most were dense but some were airy no complaints. The smell is incredible. I would definitely say this is a low odor strain, but it smells like oranges. All you smell is a citrus scent, I wish you could all enjoy it with me. I'll take some pics of the buds soon, you can rate the crystals and trim job lol.

I love it blades, this feeling is incredible. I don't have a big scale so I can't give a weight yet, but I will before I smoke any. Have two little hygrometers, and will base judgement from those on how the rest are doing. I know I keep thanking you guys, but I'm gonna keep doing it. I love the community here, just a great bunch of stoners. I couldn't have asked for more enthusiasm and wisdom from you peeps. I'll still be around. Going to take a little while off from growing. Like a month or so, just so I can recuperate a bit and get setup for another run.

Smokes on me tonight! Haha.

 

Looking awesome mate, those are some epic stems haha.
 
Thanks for reminding me too, I still haven't any means of support ready yet.

 

pHarmer that Pura Vida is gonna be massive. I love the LST method you have, it's like a perfect half sphere. I'll have to go back and look through the pages on how you LST cause it's phenomenal.

Question on the curing stage. When they are in jars and the humidity is a perfect 62% do you not touch them at all? Maybe shake the jar a bit to make sure they are all separated, but then it's just a waiting game correct? With the buds I took early, I pop open the jar and dump them out onto a plate for a second then put them back in to make sure they are all separated and no bud rot. I think by tomorrow I should be able to just leave them alone to sit.

 

Hi pH. Welcome back. Hope you're doing well! I spent my last dozen plus years on the road. It's always nice to get home.
Awesome update! I'm seriously envious of your setup. You've done a wonderful job! Can't wait to see how that 350 flowers. The GFBA and Pure Vida should really put out some meds for you.

I have a 4x4 flower tent and a 2x4 veg tent, both with a mix of LED and CFL. I'll try to post a couple pics so you can see what I'm working with. The more I see your lights the more I like them. Everyone at GSC that has them seems to be doing well and liking the customer service a lot. That's really important to me. The LEDs I have do very well for what they are, and are well built, but I think the technology is getting better so when I do add more it will be something different. I intend to run mine until they die though. Why not? As I said earlier, I need to expand a bit, just not sure whether to stick to tents or bust out into the room. I'm thinking I only need about 50% more flower space anyway, and the easier to care for the better. My body is getting harder to move and manage so it's a big decision. So is the cost lol!

Thanks for what you do my friend!

 

Congrats on a fine grow!!! It is great to feeling isn't it..

 

Once I jar up the bud. I gently roll the jar on it side in my hands. We then open the jars for about 15 minutes once a day. You may not need to do that since you are using Boveda packs....

 

  

It is incredible man, this is my first successful grow. I never knew I was gonna make it haha. I have to be of the utmost stealthiness.

With the Boveda packs I think they control the humidity very well, but I just went and rolled my jars to make sure none were sticking together. The jars I trimmed up at the right time are sitting at a perfect 62%. The buds I trimmed early were at around 70% so I popped open the jar. Rolled the buds around on a paper plate and put them back in.

 

The boveda packs claim to be 2-way but that has not been the case in my experience. I don't use them until after the buds have already been cured and are in long-term storage mode. I would be worried about mold using them from day one tbh.

I have been using the methods linked below with a lot of success. A few little hygrometers from the pet store are a great investment. I own two of those and a Caliber IV digital hygrometer.

Mold is not fun. Lost 75% of my first harvest to mold from jarring too early.

 

Subbed. Ill have to catch up tomorrow mang!

 

Okay... reading your first page... might have to read your thread tonight. Your kind of a smart cat

 

Page 6, but with your massive updates it felt more like 12! Im super jelly of what you got going on btw.

There are some really helpful blades out there. Ive elevated my growing game since joining here. From bottled nutes to organic soil, now my next run will be an organic soil with organic nutes. Trying to get the fat harvest without sacrificing the organic taste.

 

Pretty much caught up.. I see what you mean by the hydro guy coming up a few times haha classic.

So whats left on your checklist to do around the house? Seems like you still have a lot of work a head of you! Ladies are looking great, another amazing example of organic grown.

Ill link my old thread but ill be making a new one soon since ive changed so much in the past few weeks.

Heres some of my ladys veggin out.. happy bunch if I do say so myself.
Big ladie front and center is a kush (its bagseed). To the left and right were some weaker GDPs. The bonsai looking one in the back is my "5g beast to 1g Bonsai Mum" experiment. Shes a GDP. The little queen in the solo cup is my Infamous Solo cup challenge participant.


Heres my usual way of cloning


Tried some stright soil ones too


How do you clone ? Ive always been a seed guy, changing to a clone/mum guy. Your clones seem to snap into action pretty quickly. Whats your methods?

 

Here are the pics I promised pHarmer. Nothing like your setup!

CBD Critical Cure

Master Kush

One more CBD Critical Cure. Notice the leaf spots. I was not careful enough with cedar oil. The shine on all the leaves is fron neem. That helped the cedar sprayed leaves recover. They're improving.

I'm leaning toward building a small room right where the two tents sit for a flower room. I can veg elsewhere. That would be easiest and probably only require buying one more light, maybe two for a 5x8 space.
Opinions welcome!
Thanks again for being so inviting and helpful pH!
