Tri_Cho_Me's First Grow & Grow Diary

Stacking and Frosting!!

Fruity and Diesel...

Pretty much just alternating water & nutes every other time. I have started upping the nutes to normal doses now that we're in the thick of things. I am also still using both MaxiBloom and Tiger Bloom with a touch of molasses.

Vertical growth has pretty much ceased. Just seem to be bulking up at this point. The aroma is intensifying, still fruity. I have also been removing a handful of fan leaves every once in a while to help get light everywhere.

Enjoy some pics!

Good afternoon Tri_Cho_Me.
Your girls are looking really nice. Great job bud. Your garden is really looking good. You should be very proud of yourself. The frost on those buds looks really tasty. Soon you will be smoking that stuff. Epic first grow.

How much tiger bloom per gal are you using? I used 2 tsp per gallon last time and my girls are liking it. Are you planning on doing any kind of flush at the end? Just asking because the tiger bloom is salt based and I know most people recommend flushing if you use those kind of nutes. I have a feeling that you could just cut out the tiger bloom a little early and let the plant use it up if not flushing. Not sure if you can flush with scrog set up or not.

I love the pics. Keep up the great work...Fiddy.

Yep, I am doing about two teaspoons per gallon. I plan on flushing here soon. Probably the start of week 8 until the end.

How do I collect those frosty leaves and how can I store them? I've never made anything from leaves before. Any recommendations? Recipes?

Appreciate you're help!

I just made a bubble hash out of the third level sugar leaves. Lets say 15g of dried leaves and I got like 0.4g of Isolator hash. A friend of mine smoked it and he was through he roof. He said that the smoke was very clean and the substance aka hash was sticky to the feel and a solid typical smell of hash which I was very pleased to smell.


I used 70 and 220 microns bags and I am very suprised by the result, I've repeated the process like 2 times and the outcome was crazy. So from my end make hash there is also dry ice method which looks pretty awesome. Check it on youtube plenty material up there :):biggrin:

Thanks man! Great advice.

A lot of the stuff with the trim seems so foreign because this is my first grow and have never done anything with it before. I just mostly studied up on the flowers/buds/harvesting/curing. I definitely need to hit up YouTube for some How-To's.

Anyway, enjoy. :tiphat:

Things are finishing up! Amber trichomes have been spotted on some surrounding leaves but none on the actual buds themselves. Going to wait a couple more days and then cut them!

Good job Tri_Cho_Me!
The buds are looking really nice in the last photo posted. You have done an excellent job and should be proud of that. Looks like you will be having a happy new year for sure this year. Have you sampled yet? Have fun trimming and harvesting your crop. You put in a lot of hard work now it's almost over and going to be time to enjoy.
Please put up a couple pics before you chop. I'd love to see them finished and ready for harvest. I wouldn't worry that much about cure time, it helps but my buds don't taste much different today than the day I dried them in early September. Puff up sir, you earned it...Fiddy.

Hi Fiddy - I can't freaking wait! I haven't sampled yet, but was thinking about it. At this point I might as well just wait till the end. I will for sure put up some pics soon. I anticipate chopping in the next 2-4 days.

I will probably cure for a minimum of two weeks. Making sure to burp them and all that jazz. Are you sure you're curing them properly? Odd they would taste the same.

Day 53 Flower

Day 53 Flower

Fiddy prompted me to provide an update. Everything is just super fat, dank, sticky, crystally, stinky, and every other verb you can think of to describe these delicious Strawberry Kush and bag seed ladies.

So far, all the amber trichomes appear toward the top of the colas and on the leaves surrounding those top buds. I plan on waiting a little longer until I see some amber on the buds themselves.

On to the pictures!

Good evening Tri_Cho_Me.
You are a very patient person indeed not to have sampled. You can make it a few more days. Great job on this grow I suspect you will have many great grows and you seem to be a natural.

I did my cure in mason jars, burping and keeping them in a cool dark spot but like I said it didn't do a lot for the flavor. I was happy with the taste right away and didn't feel like it improved much. Maybe different strains cure differently? That said I'll be curing this harvest and future harvests. I've read about many curing methods here on icmag and will probably experiment with some of them in the future. Keeping in mind that I have only one complete grow under my belt and my experience is very limited.
