minus her beginning hiccups, smooth sailing once she got going. Tomorrow is 9 weeks and her chop day may happen tonight or first thing in the am :grin:

Instead of posting two places the same thing. The ladies are chopped and hanging. Now 16 days to hang dry in the tent at 70F or less and 60% rH. I plan on sending a sample off to get a potency and terp profile.

Now to pop some beans from the next grow off.

I think 2 of the seeded plants will be chopped some time this week. The “yellow” plant is a bit behind those 2.

The clones in the front of the 4x4 will be chopped and frozen for a future first bubble hash run.

The 3x3 clone tent is doing great. These are fairly close to harvest.

I agree with @kaptain3d very dense tight buds.

Found a little section that started getting bud rot, so that was removed. I wanted to harvest the outer sections but they need a few more days.



She’s a beast it’s been a fun grow

After some great advice from a handful of you good friends around here, harvest is complete. The mite removal went far better than I initially imagined possible. Nylon on intake and exhaust of the shop vac was surprisingly effective at removing any webbing. 4 stage bud wash starting with lemon water, peroxide water, and then double rinsed. Hanging in the drying rack open air after the wash, I’ll close it up to slow drying.

Wow! Thats some dirty water

Ya , i would recommend the shopvac with a nylon filter on intake is the most affective form of bug and egg removal before going sprays and toxins…
Works extremely well as a growing tool , its just a tool thats easily overlooked… :+1:
Glad it was useful my friend…
Next time apply this tactic in the beginning… :grin:
We are always learning new techniques with this hobby… :green_heart: :grin:

Comments: I was hoping to chop this weekend but I think they still look clear. Will check again tonight after work. I will be gone till next Sunday so I hope they don’t turn too fast. I have my pump timer set for later this week. Only water so I shouldn’t have to worry much about ph. I’ll adjust and hope it doesn’t drift much. It’s rainwater so I’m not sure the ph matters much without any nutrients. It’s been a pretty trouble free grow with firm smelly buds. Thanks and good luck y’all!:+1:t2::victory_hand:t2:

I am loving seeing all of these results! I’ve shared the thread with Green Bodhi himself. I am sure he’ll be thrilled to see all of his babies being grown out by this wonderful community.

I appreciate all of you for taking part - on to more community events!

Just a little disclaimer here if you’ll allow:

I usually don’t grow for the best looking or bigger bud. I love to torture plants in diabolical ways and see how they will react.
You can assure Green Bodhi that their NL #5 passed the torture tests with flying colors! Even with all I’ve put them through, they came our really dense and nice, if I do say so myself! :peace_symbol: :love_you_gesture:

I love it, push those babies!

I am similar in doing crazy nutrient regiments, using icepacks, breaking stems just so our content team has some pics of a electrical tape tourniquets etc.

I literally fed my babies a Blueberry smoothie hoping that it’d somehow absorb the anthocyanins. Proper bro science being applied here :sweat_smile:

Sorry we went away to great wolf lodge. I could not post a pic till today.

Number of seeds dropped: 8/10. 2 of the males got stripped by slugs

Number of female plants:. 6 females, 4 males. Not too shabby.

Number of days from sprout: 126 days

Number of days from 12/12: 86

Lights on temp/rh: all the plants out of the party cube enjoying some space in the open.

Light Schedule/Current Wattage: 100% solar radiation from our lovely sun. :sun_with_face:. There is no supplemental lighting. Currently 14 hours 50 min of light.

Days are getting longer. Reveg right around the corner and on schedule. Clip buds and seeds, plant in beds, and harvest sinsemilla in the fall.

Watering/feeding frequency: watering only once or twice a week. .fish chit aquarium water. Still sipping. Got some rain water this week too.

Nutrients: none, no commercial feeds. No commercial fertilizers or soil mixes.
Repotted with coffee grounds, rotten leaves, a half cup of urine soaked char, and raised bed filler soil from my 18 yr old raised beds nurtured with organic living soil. No commercial mixes used. Just the sunshine mix in the original 4” starter pots for seedlings.

The waterings are from aquarium water with the sponge filter squeezed out in it. Has to add nutrients because it looks like chocolate milk. Rich Axolotl and Cory cat feces. Fish chit, but the real chit,

Grower comments
The seed calyxes are pretty large on these plants. I expect the seeds to be huge. Anyway, once I get the seeds rioe, will do the clip back and harvest the seeds. Not too long.

Moving forward from here, it’ll be the outdoor God OG grow off versus the northern lights side-by-side in the outdoor raised bed.

Love seeing everyone’s indoor tents finish up. Beautiful buds.


Willow bomb lol. Woof
