Some of you may be thinking "what its only august how can he be harvesting?" Im not doing my full harvest now, i just picked 2 small buds, wich were the biggest, off my plant thats furthest into flower, about 3 weeks or so. I showed up at my secret spot and there were nice 1/4"x3/4" colas starting! And theres still another 2 months or so of flower . Check out my pickings its just enough to get a buzz if anything, but at least im not paying for it. Its drying in my sock drawer now because i didnt set up my big drying box yet. It should be ready to smoke in about a week, but it will most likely be smoked on saturday, screw curing i just wanta taste . Its a sativa and i harvested it way early so i expect a light head buss. I cant wait for another 2 weeks when i pick some bigger buds off i should come back wth a gram or two It'l be awsome once i harvest them all, i cant wait till i have my own stash
I dont think it would slow the budding it would just put the energy into other colas, but it does take some energy to heal. I promise new pics next week! and yea even less then 2 months now, more like 6-7 weeks!
And i forgot to mention i smoked tis last night because there was nothing else to do besides smoke and steal a HPS (see lookie what i got-indoor growing) it shrunk alot and was only about 1/8 inch diameter when dried partialy but it was tight. It was 90 degrees yesterday so it dried out quickly. The smoke "wasnt that good" thats what my friends report was and he siad its a diffrent high. I took the first few hit and it wasnt that bad harshness wise. It just burned going down because of heat, we were smoking out a small glass spoon and the lighter had to be lit the whole time to keep it buring due to it not being dry. It took about 5 hits to get to roast then it was gone it 2 small hits. I tried to tase the flavor and i could taste a bit of a minty/sweet flavor but that may be just becasue its such young buds. I think it was the best shit ive ever smoked but because I grew it! Gota have some pride! I did get a slight head buzz but not enought to tell what the smoke will be like when more is smoked. I will be making by drying box soon out of a rubermaid with carbon filters and an external exhaust dump. I will post pics when im done in about a month.
I will post it in growroom design in about 3 or so weeks. Im contimplating on either using a rubermaid or just use a dresser i have in the back of my attic storage and just drill a hole in the back and run the exhaust from a carbon filter and fan. I will have to do this next year because it will be a bigger grow, but i think i might just make the rubermaid for you guys to copy.
Dread heres how to make a simple filter that would fit your setup nicely, http://www.overgrow.com/growfaq/1509
you are much better off just waiting until harvest time, those two buds could have been a good 1/16 to 1/8 of great bud vs. a bowls worth of harsh premies.
^hey man, no point in getting angry. he is wasting his weed not yours, give him advise but if he wants to smoke his undried premies let him. it certainly isnt worth getting upset over
I wasnt planing on getting ripped on those buds. If you look at the ruler it was a small 1/2"x 1/8" bud and i just wanted a taste and a slight buzz, wich I got. When i smoked it was dried, just the stem was still wet. The THC dosent have to be dry to get high off, its just i smoked some wet leaves and stems with the THC glands. BTW I picked a good 20 sack off my plant today buds are way bigger. This time im going to dry and cure ot over the next week or two. Im going to use the jar meathod to cure it but instead of a jar im using a altoids box because its a small amount. Plants budding outdoors is a beauitfull site!
So far with the 2g i pulled today I dried it on a piece of paper for 6 hours now its in a altoids container cracked open to start the long cure in a day or two i will tape it shut then air it out every day or so. Bud stuffer, Yea Thatks for leaving me smoking my undries crap . I thought the same with the ract small buds turn in to bigger buds but its not an issue with me i have 2 big 3' bushey trained plants that will yeild more then me and some friends could ever smoke. So a 1/16-1/8 oz is overwieghed by me smoking my own weed, even though i will get sick of it after a while because its all the same bagweed strain. But i think i can make some trades 420 Shade, Yea well if you think about it childinsh people who fight on the internet only kill threads. It is gets carried on regardless.
I just scaned my newer pickings, its still not ripe yet being only 3 weeks into flower. I just smoked one small nug with a friend for him to taste the flavor and he liked the sativa high but you can taste the grass because its still moist. After a good 2 week cure it should be a good smooth smoke.
the thing is that my brother cut off my plant because he thought that it was ready and he ruined the whole thing and in response of that i was pissed of at the person who did the same as my brother ,so dont get mad at me ,i just was out of control and all i wanted was to give a very reactive response meaning only good.....so please dont waste anymore good weed because there's little left in this world,no harm feelings ok?
just glad to see that while i'm away all the growers can set a good example and get-on with one another, sometimes people will post things in the heat of the moment, or while high or even worse drunk, my father allways says....."when the drink goes in.....the sense goes out"........i've even posted in the past something which i regretted later, but it takes a good man to appologise for his errors............good luck with the rest of the grow grower, and happy growing to everyone else..........Peace out......Sid
yeah peace all. was very childish of me just got a bit to stoned that night. and saw what i thought a insulte.
