Good morning everyone!

Hope your all doing well!

Last night I chopped the girl. I was going some reading about the trichome science and the THC/CBD/CBN and learned more info. I decided to let this one get the chop with about 5% amber. While the Widow is a Hybrid it is sativa dominant, meaning it is not meant to have the couch lock effect. No point in letting it go amber for a couch lock if the plant isn't designed to give you the couch lock effect like most Indica plants. Also dont see the point in degrading THC if its a high THC plant. Thats just my 2 cents, coming from the guy who totally messed up this grow haha

Now having said that, before I chopped her I was hoping to get an ounce off her. Then as a couple weeks went by and I never got a lot of swelling I was kinda hoping I would end up getting at least 15g in total. VERY LOW and again I am ok with that because I learned a shit ton from this grow. I would take knowledge and information all day long just like quality over quantity.

Now...after I chopped she did start to kick up a stink a little and was the first time I really got a good smell from her. Perhaps my carbon filter was just doing its job, but other plants have smelled so I think its a genetic from this seed.

When chopped the buds were very very heavy. Heavier than my usual grows. I usually get 2+oz per plant, I know thats not happening with this one but the buds were very tight! As it dries I expect them to lighten up a lot and even get fluffier, again, time will tell on this.

Here are the photos of the harvest. If I can get 15g I will be happy. The trichs are milky white, very cloudy and hardly any clear heads at all, if any. She seemed to have a nice color after harvest, not that bright under ripe green color, so I think i got her at her peak time.






So thats the end result, not bad, not great, but hopefully she smokes great. She is in a dark room now drying with some moving air, and I will be doing a final trim on her before she gets stored away.

So my guess is about 15g

Will post final weight when she is dry in a few days to a week and we will wrap this one up and start with our Autoflower grow for King Tut and Speed Bud X3

Have a great day!

Morning everyone!

Well the buds are dry and have been placed in the jar for curing

I ended up with a total of 23g off this girl. Less than I wanted but more than I expected at the end.

Here is a little nug shot. Will probably try a small sample today to see how it burns, or let it cure for a week before sampling, see what happens when I get off work...

Either way this journal is a wrap. Thanks for sticking around and watching even if there was nothing but problems...onto the next grow...see ya there :)
