Well i still have a square meter of bay 11, and 2/3 of a meter of pineapple haze. Like i said, im fighting laziness.
You deserve a break! Donāt be hard on yourself for occasional laziness haha got your hay in anyway now just counting your bushels
Spent a few summers in the prairies and picked up some farmer lingo. Thatās about all of it though
Problem is that they may be over-dried bushels. Got a lot of good kief from the trim leaves though. Perfect tan color.
Im starting to get a big picture here. I did half of the pineapple this morning, and im estimating that i will have just under 3 pounds of top cola bud, and over a pound of 2nd tier bud. That would be over 2.5 grams per watt on a 2 year old HPS bulb. My guess is that a good LED under the same conditions could produce close to 4 grams per watt. And if better techniques (living soil, bloom boosters, etc) were utilized, maybe as high as 5 grams per watt. I wont know for sure for a few days, but i think it is pretty conclusive that the 28 hour day does increase yield by a significant amount. Probably close to double.
Damn laziness! And Christmas decorations. Just cant get my bay 11 trimmed up. Ive done 2 jars of it in 3 days.
the mountain is tall and the valley is deep, nice job. lotta work to do without smoking it.
Probably explains the lack of motivation. Hey look at that. A case where NOT smoking weed makes you lazy.
What was your final weight?
I got 2 1/4 pounds of top buds. Still weighing the second tier buds, but i pushed my scale too hard. I thought it had a 200 gram limit, but it was only 100. Now it wont tare correctly. Its about a pound though. I cant be off by too much. So im just going to say 3 1/4 pounds. Im getting it tested so i could release all the info at once with comparisonās to the breederās stats. But its over 2 grams per watt.
Even though it isnt really done curing, 4 jars are already gone. Its been hard to keep track of the weight. People love the Bay-11. It isnt the best smelling of the 3, but it must have a really nice high.
I forgot that i did put the trim leaves over a screen and got 12 grams of kief from it too. I dont know if that is a lot, but its pretty cool to me. Im wanting to do a bubble bucket on the second tier buds and see how much more kief i can get. It would be pretty cool to have an ounce of kief. I sure wish Biden would take it off schedule 1, so i could just taste test it just once. I used to love getting baked and watch a good movie.
Huge haul man! I can imagine the space over three pounds would take, to dry and cure and store. What an effort
Food grade buckets with gamma lids. Lab crushed it, and could probably use some
Itās the trimming that kills you
Grove bags makes trash can liners
That just made me laugh out loud
YES! The trimming SUCKED! I had nobody helping me. The first jar i filled had already cured for 2 weeks when i was finishing with the last jars. Think Iāll do one plant if i get to do it again. 4 ounces would be just fine.
Sooo, youve grown some Bay 11ās eh??? I have some Bay 11 seeds I got from growers choiceā¦ So, howād they turn out??? You are the only person Iāve seen mention this strain to dateā¦ I have yet to put mine in the dirtā¦ I kind of went crazy buying seeds for a while and now have enough to last for YEARS!!! How was the yield??? The quality of the smoke??? Do you have any pics??? Ooooh do tell, do tell!!!
Actually, I think you can get away without doing 12 hours of darkā¦ I had a couple of big buds going in the same tentā¦ I had read about gradually moving your plant to a 12/12 schedule. So I thought Iād try to simulate a more progressive time changeā¦ Starting with going to 14/10 from 16/8ā¦ Within a week, one went to flower, the other did notā¦ I then went to 13/11 and both were in flowerā¦ I speculate the 2nd plant would have done it even if I hadnāt shortened the time that extra hourā¦ I did put them on 12/12 the following week and towards the end of flower brought them down to 10/14 in hopes it would convince them to hurry upā¦ This was one of my 1st growsā¦ Not much scientific about my little experiment, but I can say definitively that even a small reduction in daylight can result in the plant going into flower
The Bay 11 is a decent yielder. The problem is that it doesnt grow fat colas, but they are longer colas. That means more trimming. I dont know how much of the thread you read through, but i dont smoke it. I just love growing it. I had 3 strains going. Of the 3, the Bay-11 seems by far the favorite. It smells the least appealling to me, but the high must be pretty nice. It was a cannabis cup winner back in the day. I think you will not be disappointed.
Your top colas will average about this size, unless you want to see stem. Not the biggest, but there are a lot of them.
