YESSSSSIR! The time has come. What started at the beginning of July has just begun to come to its end. I chopped and trimmed my first ever homegrown plant this evening. This Master Kush is STICKY AS FUCK! I picked up a pair of Fiskars shears the other day and I had to scrape these suckers every couple of buds! This fucking strain is SO sticky that just about every little leaf tip clipping got caught and stuck to the freakishly long hairs. I had to tap each bud and shake the clippings free. Almost needed a BIG BUD RAKE up in here, HA! Cant wait to spark one up! Peace, JJb :bong-2:
:fireworks: :fireworks: :congrats: :fireworks: :fireworks: I'm very happy for you. Nothing like some super icky sticky bud to liven up the world.:alienwink: Keep up the great work and we'd love to see some pics.
I remember the first plant I grew and then smoking what I grew. Best feeling in the world knowing that I would never have to buy it again. :thumbs-up: Enjoy !:droooling:
first of many :bong-2: :bong-2: WELL DONE ,IT WILL TASTE EVEN BETTER KNOWING YOU GREW IT.:beerchug-2:

WOOOOHOOOO! GOOD ON YA!! What's the wet weight? If ya need help testing that Bad Girl....well, Im free next Tuesday.... Dixie
Drum roll please...Thanks for all the praise everyone! I chopped and trimmed on the fly last night and these buds have been in a cardboard box then put in the fridge for about 18 hours now. Just took them out to get a quick weight count and snap my first ever amateur bud porn...hehehe! Dixie, I like the way you think. Fill up your tank and head north, way north. When you get to the Canadian border, head north some more and HOLLA!!!:roffl::dog-nana::dog-nana::dog-nana::dog-nana::dog-nana::roffl:As for wet weight, here goes... 139.6 grams. Assuming there will be a 60% weight loss after drying/curing, I hope to be left with something like 45-48gr off this one plant. I have 2 left, ol' faithful and the monster, to chop. If my sick, locked out plant yielded 139gr, then Im sure ol faithful will yield at least 50 more, and the monster...oh baby! TRIPLE THE WET WEIGHT OF MY LOCKED OUT RETARD AT LEAST, I SHIT YA'LL NOT!!! Now I really cant wait. Im thinking next Wednesday will be the final date, Thursday tops. How will I ever keep it together until then? Lord Have MERCY...Peace,JJb:beerchug-2: /monthly_2010_11/P11-11-10_13-54.jpg.3a02ea7c0dec65fd821479d66b1f7569.jpg /monthly_2010_11/P11-11-10_13-52.jpg.eb6bc67461e122e992baddf25148e36b.jpg /monthly_2010_11/P11-11-10_13-57.jpg.27919dc77e87f6ca95eff63cc32326d8.jpg
First talley is in... So my first chopped plant is dry, one week later. These baby buds were in a box, in the fridge, in the dark, sweat them 3 times, 2 days apart. Put them in and sealed up a zip lock bag today. No more moisture to sweat out, WE DONE! Now for the interesting part. FINAL WEIGHT DRY... Retarded, locked out plant DRY WEIGHT: 41 grams on the button! That's 1oz-13gr...damn near an once and a half. HOO-RAH! Peace, JJb asssit::angel4: :beerchug-2:
i been growin for a few years now (5-6) aaand ive never heard of how you dried your stash....thats an odd combo
So then... Well, how do you go about it Chris? I wasnt going to put the box in the fridge at first, but the DANK STANK of this master kush was finding its way OUT of my apartment and FLOODING the halls! I remembered reading about someone here on GK using their fridge as a cool, dark, humidity free storage space. Worked alright as far as I can see. I heaviest bud wet was 15.9gr and finished at 5.2gr. I also noticed that by drying the buds in this manner, the remained fluffy rather than drying and shriveling up like raisins. Anybody else have any best kept drying and curing methods? I dont plan on 2 month curing my entire harvest, but I would definately like to put away 7-10 gr and giving it a go. Thanks ppl, keep on tokin! Peace, JJb :beerchug-2:
The WET numbers are in Alright people, the wet numbers are in. It took me damn near 7 hours last night to chop and trim my last 2 plants. Good news was, all that work gave me 2.2 grams of super ultra sticky icky scissor/finger hash. SO good, cant wait to do that again! Man this strain is SICK! My MK4 plants yielded the most incredibly picture perfect buds! I only wish I had a higher resolution camera so you all could see what Im seeing...Perfect cone shaped buds, dense, bursting with crystals, oozing resin with every trimming touch. Streaks of orange, red and purple showing in the bud leaves I let them go so long. Beautiful white and dark orange/brown hairs everywhere. Gave me such a hard on! Now for the nitty gritty. So at last count, retarded MK3 left me with 139.6gr Ol faithful MK2 didnt quite reach the additional 50gr I was hoping for, but she came in with a respectable 163.3 gr. Practically half of the surplus I was expecting, not too shabby. 139.6 dried out to be 1oz13gr, so Im assuming 163.3 will leave me with around 1oz 21gr-2oz. Here's where things get interesting... THE MONSTER MK4. Boy, did she live up to her name! The results from this pheno were BY FAR...MIND BLOWING!!! Triple the number of bud sites, Triple the weight, size and density of buds, Triple the trichrome production...TRIPLE!!! Simply Incredible. Get ready, here it comes... MK4 yielded a WHOPPING 389 gr all by herself! Yes, you heard me right and I sear amongst anything holy that I shit you all not. TRIPLE, WOW... Just has me wondering, imagine what I could have/would have ended up with had ALL SIX I started out with turned out female? Shit just boggles the mind... Peace, JJb asssit:
Nobody Wins... Final numbers are in, after 2 recounts. Results, NO WINNER DECLARED... I was Over, Res was under and everybody else was too. 203.3 gr, a.k.a 7.260714285...oz. 7 1/4oz + a gram or two, off 3 plants, first grow ever. Not too shabby indeed... All aforementioned prizes have subsequently been nullified...:321fu: Peace, JJb :bong-2:
