Multi Strain Coco Recirculating Drip

Couldn't say for sure. My guess would be the Sour Strawberry from Organicann, but I don't know. Could have been a hydro store or another club I visited. The veg area broke out first where I had 2 Sour Bubble moms (from seed) and 1 Sour Strawberry mom (from Organicann clone). I also had 4 SB clones, 4 SS clones, and 4 Cherry Pie clones (from the Peace in Medicine clones) in the same area. I went out of town for Christmas and all of the plants were completely devastated when I returned.

I'm convinced the source of the pests is not the problem. The problem is dealing with them effectively so they are dealt with no matter how they might get into the garden. I got by with imid and neem for quite a while, but I need to get something else in the rotation or switch it up altogether to make sure all the bases are covered.

These ladies pulled through nicely and will come down in 3 days. Harvest shots coming this weekend!
Alright thanks bro!

So 1 last day of plain water for these ladies and then I'll unplug the pumps and light tonight after lights out. Harvest tomorrow morning. :biggrin:

I'll take before and after chop shots of each plant while I'm hanging 'em. Smoke reports to follow in a few weeks.

Harvest - 56 days

Harvest - 56 days

Everybody came down yesterday and all went well. I will be posting individual plant shots as soon as I can get to it. I took over 100 photos during the chop, so I need to sort and process them to post.

In terms of plant size/yield, the order from biggest to smallest is:
Jillybean, Blue Dream, Cherry AK, Blueberry, Lilikoi, Grand AK

In terms of best looking and most aromatic, the order is:
Cherry AK, Jillybean, Blue Dream, Lilikoi, Blueberry, Grand AK

It's funny because harvest day is so different for me and my old lady. I get all happy and excited, but she gets sad. She said something like it kinda feels like I'm killing the kids. :chin:

Anyway... here are a couple shots of the garden before the chop. :)

Sounds and looks like everything went well. Excited to see the pictures you post, glad you took a bunch. I bet the Cherry AK will be the heaviest hitter, what do you think? How long do you generally cure before you consider your bud to be prime?

Funny about you and the lady, I just look at it like this : you put it in hardwork caring and nurturing the babies so now it's their turn to care and nurture you, haha.

Hey OldSchool. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cherry AK was the most potent... it definitely won't be the Grand AK. I try to slow down the drying process as much as possible and then burp the manicured nugs in jars. I can usually get them pretty good in about 2 weeks and then they continue to develop over time. If they stick around that long. :)

lookin good testy, hope it weighs as good as it looks!

Yo Otis. Me too. Definitely some good looking buds in this batch.

Blueberry - 56 days

Blueberry - 56 days

The Blueberry finished up much better than I expected. She was fed too much Nitrogen for her liking from the Floranova Bloom and exhibited since of overfeeding/toxicity. Lots of curly leaves from the food overdose, but still very frosty and smelly.

Yielded much higher than I expected too. Lots of small rock hard calyxes. The top of the plant turned very purple and the lower half stayed lighter green. I did not top this plant, but it developed a couple main leads which helped the yield.

Blue Dream 1 - 56 days

Blue Dream 1 - 56 days

I had 2 Blue Dreams this round and this 1 was slightly smaller/less vigorous than her twin. I really like Blue Dream flowers and hope to make some oil with everything but the top buds from these plants. Smells like sweet blueberries and haze.

Cherry AK1 - 56 days

Cherry AK1 - 56 days

I haven't been too shy about my excitement for this strain. She has a strange diesel/fuel odor with strong notes of cherry aromas mixed in. This one was a little more branchy and didn't yield as much as her sister. It would be nice to grow a tray of these SOG style and trim off the lower halves.

Cherry AK2 - 56 days

Cherry AK2 - 56 days

This girl was less branchy than her sister, but had a fatter top cola. She could barely hold herself up once I took her away from the group. I'm really looking forward to tasting this one. I might have to sneak a taste before the cure. :)

Grand AK 1 & 2 - 56 days

Grand AK 1 & 2 - 56 days

Not happy with this strain at all. Don't know if something was up with this round of clones in particular or if this is just a strain that doesn't do well with less than a week veg in coco that's fed multiple times a day. Based on this experience, I would never grow this again. Seemed weak and pathetic the whole grow.

Jillybean 1 - 56 days

Jillybean 1 - 56 days

The Jillybean really surprised me. She exhibited a vigor like none of the other ladies. And now that everything is finished up. She is the frostiest, smelliest, and heaviest out of everyone.

This one was a tad bit smaller than JB #2, but still bigger than any of the other girls.

This one was a bit bigger and heavier than her sister. Just as frosty and smelly. I'm definitely looking forward to making some oil from the lower buds and sugar leaves from these 2!

Lilikoi 1 - 56 days

Lilikoi 1 - 56 days

This strain is not as vigorous as other GC cuts I have grown. I am pretty sure that Lilikoi = Green Candy = Green Crack. The last GC cut I grew was much fatter and greasier than this one. That being said, she still looks and smells really close to the GC I have seen before. These 2 clones finished very similar, but this one is a little smaller.

Happy Harvest! Words cannot describe my jealousy! What a great bunch of pictures.. Bud porn to the max. "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to testymctester again."
You killed it, mannnnn. That Jilly looks super sticky. Can't wait for that smoke report, I'm assuming the word "orgasmic" will be thrown in there somewhere.. Subcool and his lady know what's up!
