Blue Cheese Grow Diary - DWC - 2x400w + CO2

[noreason]

Thank you tjo.The harvest is a good one,I don't know how much to expect and I have not a good scale,however I'll try with my kitchen scale to weight all the buds when they're dried properly.

Btw,I'm not so satisfied on the yeld.I could have done it better but after all I have an high quality weed and it will last for a while
Next time I'll try to increase watts,maybe using one 600w more along the two 400w.Find a 1000w is not so easy here,and the few I can find are really expensive!Anyhow I don't know if I can grow anymore in my house due to these fucking raids against growers.Just today I read about 30 search warrants for Italian growers!and I could be on that black list!




The weed is good,is pleasant to smoke and yes in a couple of weeks it will become more tasty for sure,but I know it's not one I really like like other strains.This my first impressions,but you know,it's early to say the final word

The amount of trimmed leaves are huge.I stored in the freezer 3 medium bags with only the sativa plant.I need to find some screens to make some ice but if I can't find'em or find someone to borrow I'll try with the gumby method.The trim is fucking plenty of resin!I expect to do some good extraction!

Great results and shooting skills

Thank you Paulo



Today one more day of trimming,the last one.I need to trim only a part of the indica plant and it is easier to trim than the sativa,also if it seems more leafy.

Some shots soon

Beautiful photos as usual... and now, finally, let's smoke
...i'll wait the photo of hash estraction (my real passion ) with a little of envy...next time i hope to achieve a bigger buds production for make some of it!
Wishing to you some quiet time without bad preoccupation!

 

[SkunkyDemon]

Those are some of the best pics of nugs Iv seen. Great job! Its hard to believe that those are sativa dom, they look so fat. Wiil I for one will miss your grow threads. As soon as all the bullshit cools down, I would love to see some move sweet pics. Good luck with it all. (atleast you have some head stach for awhile)
Peace

We started to work with the gumby method just a couple of hours ago.Some pictures soon.

It's not a sativa dominant strain.
This pheno is more sativa than the other and I just recognize it with ''sativa pheno'' but overall it's a good hybrid...let's say 50\50
We're filling the jars right now.For some months I'll have my shit!

Some shots of the indica pheno harvest.Some buds are really fat and hard like a rock!

This one is the biggest of all

This one is another fat bud

This run powdery mildew has not infected anything and I didn't use anything as prevention.This result due to an optimum air movement and humidity control.

As said I'm not totally satisfied about the yeld.I guess it could be better if the plants didn't suffer Ca def. - Chlorine damages - and the movement from the first location in the final location.
I promise the next time I'll do it better!I want to do it better!

Me and my girl are smoking the sativa pheno day after day and we like it,very very smooth and sweet.Today I used one bag of sativa's trim to do an hash extraction with the gumby method.Only 7 minutes with the blender and the result at now is very nice,very clear thricomes with no green matter.Now it's in drying phase,I'll show you some pics soon.

Thanks for following brothers.Peace and good vibes to you all

excellent trik's production up this buds man, congrats for the great job you do in this grow , can't wait for more shot, keep it up brotha!!

 

[noreason]

more pics of an indica's cola.It's fatty and resin coated,nice bud!

 

[SkunkyDemon]

Wow those are some sweet colas! I may have missed it , but how do you introduce your Co2? I have a small area and have been thinking about buying the Co2 Boost Bucket. Keep those sweet pics coming!
Peace

Yeah mate,the indica pheno had several sweet and fat colas
Co2 was injected via tank,if you go to see the first posts you will see the tank in the pictures.


Let me give you a tip.If you're not dieled in with your grow,I mean perfect climate (light - temp - RH - Air movement) and everything under control you will not see so many differences.Co2 speed up the metabolism,so the plants can use more light to fix more carbon atoms,but if the light source is poor,the Co2 is simply a waste.
I would recommend to use at least 600w lamp for 1 square meter.

I cannot say co2 makes differences in this run because I don't know this strain,it was the first time I grew it and maybe it could be a low yelder by itself and the 400w lamps are not enough to give enough light to the lower buds.

If you want great result with Co2,let's dial in your grow and then add Co2.That's the way or you will not see any difference.

You should avoid crappy co2 bucket or yeast reaction,you have no control to stop'em at the right Co2 level.I saw only one people here on IC using yeast to have co2 increase in a semi professional way,but it was a complicated system with a lot of yeast and sugar buckets.
The best think you can buy it's a Co2 tank or a propane burner,but these last are good only for big grow-room,let's say around 50 sqm.
After you got the tank you need a controller or a monitor to know the Co2 concentration.
The monitor only show you the value and you need to set you tank manually with a timer,finding the right timing and pressure.
Controllers do this for you,but they're very expensive.

Follow my tip,dial in your grow before adding Co2 and you obviously need to seal up your growroom to not waste a lot of Co2.This mean you probably need to use a cooltube to take away the heat from the lamp,in a separate ducting only for the lamps.

Co2 could give you better yeld,but you need to do everything right to see real differences.

Yah thats what I kind of figured that those buckets were kind of crapy. Ill have to just buckle down and buy a tank regulater and timer. Thanks for ALL your help. I will be working on getting ever thing dialed in.
Peace

You're welcome skunky

The next two picture shows the biggest branch of the indica pheno.At least 3 or 4 of the biggest buds come from this branch and it had strange growth during the life plants.Let's say good part of the harvest come from this branch

And...this is one more cola from the indica plant,a big one

Have an high & nice sunday,tokers

 

[noreason]

Today I jarred everything cause all the buds are ready to.They are crunchy but not so dry to break with the fingers,just perfect for the grinder
.I like really much this de-humidifier I bought.I didn't see any mold also in the biggest colas and I can have total control on RH during drying phase.
However I weighted it and everything is near half a K,maybe a little less.I used my kitchen crappy scale but they seems to weight the same.
Sativa pheno had a shitload of little flowers,a pain in the ass to trim and indica pheno had less buds but bigger and it was pretty easy to trim.
About the trim...I like to take the buds free of leaves,the small ones too and I stored really a lot of trim wich I'm using to extract some nice bubble.This also affect the total weight,I mean...less leaves in the buds,less weight.
After all this consideration I'm happy because I have my jars full with quality weed but I'm not totally satisfied.I think I should work with clones only using this dwc bucket,clones that come from a known mom but this is impossible to me now...so I'm just happy and stoned



This branch come from the indica pheno and has strange flowers on it...it's a freaky branch with freaky fatty flowers

More pics will follow

Here you can see the total harvest,less the weed we already smoked In total the two plants produced 450-500gr and near a kilo of high quality fresh trim wich I'm using to extract hash and some to make butter

On the left sativa jars,on the right the indica's.

Sativa

Indica

Random shot

Do you guys who followed me from the beginning remember about the third bluecheese?the one in soil pot?
I moved outdoor the first days of January giving it an hope to survive.
It survived and growth!Very strong plant

The location.They're well hidden

And did you remember the clones I took?one of them went outdoor just today.I took it from the indica pheno,will see if it will survive to rain and low temps.

I think at middle of March when returned from the Spain and the spannabis I'll decide if pot them in the ground where they are,or carry indoor the bigger and let it flower under the lamp...will see

Good vibes to all of you good guys

 

[fonzee]

The jars look awesome and the outdoor plant look very healthy!

Niente da fare non ho mai abbastanza reputazione da potertela dare, ora ci manca un serio smoking report....
bel lavoro e bella resa.
Ps il barattolo più grande è da 2 lt.?

Grazie man,anche senza reputazione apprezzo lo stesso
Il barattolo più grande mi sembra che sia precisamente 3,75 lt
