@ MidwestGuy My apologies it’s been so long since you sent the link on the scope… Thank you btw!! Took me a little bit to figure it all out, but magically got the scope to work I did actually take some gorgeous pics of the Strawberry
Cheesecake
I grew… (1st seed that germinated for me, from my 1st post … (lost 3 Gorilla in beginning) So I was over the moon when I got the close up look I needed! Pistils were orangey brown & trichomes were all mixed from clear to milky to amber… Now, I have to be honest here…
I experimented at different stages, & probably shouldn’t have, but, I’m an over confident arse sometimes and just push the paper! LOL Not really an arse, but def cocky at times - anyway, I cut the top 10, tallest, colas at that point, & began drying that batch, while watching an entire new ‘generation’ of buds grow from little girls, to healthy and thick buds! So, I planned on cutting the whole plant at once & section out stems, but, switching gears to harvest some, not all, changed things Trying to shorten this… The 1st dried & cured batch, was nothing short of awesome! Especially since I grew, what I was now smoking! The 2nd batch, is in 2 jars, just released from the closet & burping stage! The 3rd & what I thought was final cut, I stupidly, chose to dry in a shoe box, in same closet, even put a couple paper towels in there. Then, disaster… I wasn’t doing well physically (that lovely rollercoaster
I ride, and am sure some of you do too) I didn’t check in them for a couple days when ‘down’… then forgot them a couple more days, needless to say, I lost almost 2 ounces from mold
I cleaned up though, in my opinion, since it was my 1st grow. I got almost an oz from 1st 10 buds. (smoking as we speak ofc!!! LOL) the 2nd set, is in closet, I’m going to guess about 2 oz or more… so, bottom line, walk away with approx 3 oz, after losing at least 2 oz from the mold… Overall, I’m thrilled!! I learned SO much on the 1st grow You guys and gals are absolutely my saviors!! I may not post as often as I’d like, but, I do come read (lurking in the shadows somewhere!)
Once I had the cheesecake cut down & taken care of… I figured I’d throw the used soil in my compost & recycle, right?? Wrong! She is growing again! So, I watered, had to move to a sunny window, no room left in tent! lol I think, honestly, I should have stuck to cutting 10 buds off every few weeks, and harvest until she stopped growing I’ll be watching that a bit closer now…
Oh! I’ll add 1 or 2 pics from the scope, thanks to MidwestGuy!! That scope is def a great buy & needed tool!! 1 is close to harvest time, the 2nd pic was a week or 2 earlier… but I was afraid the pistils were going to start curling, so I began the harvest…
Hmm, the photos are not as glorious as I made them out to be after all… I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder on weed too! JK I was just so excited to see what ai could see!! I know, I’m nuts…
Sorry not as detailed as I’d like to have show…
Now, on deck, I have Amnesia Haze and Northern Lights growing like weeds lol, with 2 clones from AH… At about 9 weeks, flowering, etc…
I just ordered a trio AF mix, the Gorilla, Bruce Banner and Girl Scout cookies, then got a pop up offer for some Gold Leaf seeds, so I ‘yoinked’ those too! I won’t be able to buy now for a long time, so, I hope posting without purchase is ok and hope if I run into snags, you all will still help me
I sure want them all to grow this time… can’t afford to lose $300 again That was like a sucker punch to the gut. Man… But, we now have a success and I am happily smoking my own stuffs!!
Thanks for reading everyone!
