First Grow on Fresca Sol/ Scrog

great grow man i hopw mine look as good when there done. i would say i am about 2 weeks behind you. which is great cant wait to hear a smoke report.

your talking like this is a science experiment are you doing reshearch? because i am and comparing notes would be great.

Ghost420, I use the excuse of "science" to have myself a puff of some good chronic. In a way, I do analyze the materials at hand and love testing new flavors of MJ. Its kind of like being an over zealous a wine connoisseur. I analyze the taste and potency and measure it's high to previous highs I've had throughout time. I stare at trichomes through a microscope.

And then I get high and write stuff like this...

I want to see your finished buds and compare some statistics. I want to make sure it makes sense to grow it again. I am on the quest for the perfect pot... And then when I find it, I will grow it for ever.. The journey aint so bad either

Current Events.....Just started a 10 day flush with 10 gallons of the purest water on earth (goes through like 12 refinement processes. $1.25/5 gal). I actually lightly sprayed down my roots 2 before putting in the "kind" water The only additive I use now is Pot O'Gold (I dunno who makes it. It has very elusive info on back). It is supposed to change the chemical structure of water and makes it more available by breaking down the h2O molecules into saller pieces.......Who knew? Has some electrolytes... Here are the pics of the monster AK48

Hey Tricks.
Yes, I may have slapped on about 5 extra days to my finish time by not having the door shut all the way, which may have let a few stray light leaks into the grow room. 10 secs of dim light here or there though - would that shock the plants too bad? I always thought they had to receive a significant amount of light for more than 30 minutes to have it effect the bloom time? Maybe I am wrong.

i do it all the time to the buds i dont really care about, and nothing has happened, at least from what i can tell.

pot of gold breaking down water??, that doesnt sound right, im gonna take a look

That really depends on the strain if it gets shocked bad or not. Theres strains out there that a few light leaks for a couple days will turn it hermie and others wont be affected. I wouldent worry bout that now tho, your to far in. Altho i would keep this in mind for future grows.

They look good, nice and fat. Still see lotsa white hairs tho. I have a few getting ready and they look like there a little bit ahead of yours. They will come down this weekend. Just be patient and you'll know when to chop. I can see amber on my plants and i dont even need a scope.

yeah. the microscopes I have color the THC a little so I like to look at them through a jeweler's loupe.

Now I'm standing in front the AK, like a first base coach, yelling "C'mon Amberrrrrr!!!!" and clapping alot...

Heres some pics of buds that are done. Dont know if you've seen these. There from the harvesting tutorial.

I never wait this long tho, but they sure look good.

Yeah, those are FDD's perfect buds. Mine look totally different in normal light. We shall be seeing good pics from the AK48, in real light soon.

Alright I chopped it....
I couldnt help myself, besides she looked pretty done to me.
50% cloudy trichs with about 10% or less amber. Pistils at about 90% reddish brown She flowered for a little over 8.5. weeks.

Drying now. Hopefully these will be dry in around 7 days. I have a humidifier on a timer which keeps RH in between 45-55%. Its already been 2 days on the rack and they still seem pretty un-dry, although they have lost a lot of weight.

I say 4 OZ. dry and trimmed down well! Nice popcorn in a jar!

Good guess Dewey.. Thats what I think too, around 4. The buds on the top rack were fucking monsterous - very dense & overcome by crystals. Thick feeling, giant bracts. I trimmed the shit out of em too, didnt want to cover up those beautiful buds....
20% smaller than soda can in girth. On the top row, most of the buds were longer than my arm (from elbow to finger tips)
I should've done a comparison against something common. This pheno of this strain rules. Nice yielder, long lasting indica dominant stone, easy to grow, finishes quick...nice to look at

Very welldone! Nice yield aswell! Amazing what an 'nirvana' F2 can produce....

Now if I can just get them to smell good this time... I'm going to try this exact method this time. I am starting to think that good smelling pot is a myth, and that people are adding scents to their weed (not really... I am just frustrated at my inexperience)

I was a caveman on the first grow. You would've thrown up at the site of my first harvest. No love involved...
But I still believed I produce something dank-tastic, so I tried again. And I learned a ton on this grow too. Cant wait to apply the knowledge. Now for a near perfect cure.

Alright...

I guess I thought that since I grew these buds myself, that it wouldnt really get me super high, unless I smoked more than normal. Well....... I was dead wrong.

I scraped the trimming scissors until I got a nice little ball of scissor hash and let it sit for a few days. The thing had the density of a dead star, I mean it was dense. So I let it "cure" in a jar with some older, premature AK for a few days.

I decided to pack a bowl (while I was already high) and top it of with some of the scissor hash (half the ball). I took a normal size hit, like I always do, and coughed a slow, deep cough for about 20 seconds. I just knew by the way coughing went that I would soon be too stoned. My heart started pounding like a drum, my breathing soon became an issue, and my vision got distorted. I had to towel off my face with a damp cloth and walk outside for some fresh air a couple times. Lasted for about 2 hours... Then somewhat mellowed into a managable yet very intense powerstone that made me pass out on the couch. I was higher than an Eagles Balls.

Now... I've smoked plenty of good dope and enough schwag to know the game by now. But the last time I felt like this was years ago, directly after a giant hit of some Alaskan Thunderfuck while visiting the lovely Seattle, Wa. I am not saying that the AK48 is the best weed ever, but I am saying that this bud commands respect. It is potent as fuck and long lasting. One should keep in mind that, when smoking this bud, the high is extremely creepy and will take a few minutes to show it's face. Totally blew me away...

Nice little review. Might look into growing this sometime! Thanks for the good info. Sounds like what my Belladonna does to me!

Funny you say that... I have some Belladonna seeds in deep freeze right now. & I have actually been following your Bella grow for a month or two now.

When I got into this hobby, I was looking for the most bang for the buck. I am by no means a master grower and I wanted something to learn with, but still have some cool strain to eff around with when it was all said and done. So I chose the Belladonna and the AK48. They were both reasonably priced. I would like to cross the 2 at some point. Especially the phenotype I have right now. What an easy grow

The first two rows of buds (smaller, slightly undercooked buds) went into 3 big sauce jars today. Will update soon. Starting to smell good! Alot smoother to smoke.

Heart pounding, head crushing, soaring, uplifting, long lasting high!. I give it an A- so far. A nice taste should be arriving soon.

Badass! Thanks for following the bella's! Its def a good yielder for size. The whole plant turns into solid rock hard bud! Well get those bella going and lets compare yield and effects. I have I believe 2 good pheno's!

These are great jars from Cost Plus - they really make a tight seal.

Are these jars too big to be curing in? Small one is 1 1/2 liter, & the big guy is 3 liters.

The buds came out real nice. Large and dense, nice lemony dankness to em. have a look!

I really dont wanna mess these buds up as they have come such a long way. If you noticed anything
I did wrong - please let me know asap - Thanks RIU!!!

I have asked this question several times on different threads with no response, So, here it goes:

Exactly how many times a day do I open the jars?
And for exactly how long should they stay open for, each time I open them??
Is there an exact process to this?

O.K. - that was three questions, I know I lied... I am hoping a master can come and clear this up for me.... Thanks again!!!!
