Blue Cheese & Blue Widow JAHseeds

Having great results in my current grow and wanted to share. Growing JAHseeds Blue Widow (blueberry x white widow) and JAHseeds Blue Cheese (blueberry x UK Cheese)

Two tents.
5x5 with 1000w HPS set to super lumens (1100w?) 44w/sqft
4x4 with 690w LED. 43w/sqft

All plants got about 2 months veg from seed. All are in 3 gallon pots of straight Coco. Watered to runoff daily.

Feed:
Veg: GH Micro approx 6ml/gal, GH Bloomapprox 9ml/gal, 2ml/gal Gro-tek calmax, 1-2ml/gal Dyna gro protekt
Bloom (after stretch): GH Micro approx 6ml/gal, GH Bloomapprox 12ml/gal, 2ml/gal Gro-tek calmax


Today will be end of week 7, I'm thinking 2-3 weeks on all of them except one blue widow which seems to still be stacking weight, and still has very few orange calyx's

Hoping to harvest sometime next week, weather permitting. Was going to pull most of them this weekend, but we're in the middle of a hot stretch now... Hoping for a stretch of weather under 27C to make sure I can keep the drying room as cool as needed... Looks like it'll be pushed off until next weekend for sure.

Since it's dry and hot here, I'm going to go ahead with harvest, using a "swamp cooling" technique I read about here from @Dank Bongula . Hopefully I can manage it with the heat we're having...

Going to try expanding his cool cardboard box with ice bottle drying technique, but the 5x5 tent is my box, intake/outtake my flaps, and I'll be using several frozen 2L bottles in a plastic bin on the ground with a small fan blowing over.


Going to try to chop tonight or tomorrow morning. Lights are unplugged so they MAY get a few hours of extended darkness depending on how long my prep work takes before chopping.

Beautiful colors! The ice in front of a fan trick does work if you don't have AC.

Lights are out, time to prep for harvest!

Hanging them all in the 4x4 intact to prolong the dry as much as I can. Have a small 9" fan on the floor blowing air from into towards a wall. Just enough turbulence created that all the plants sway.

Temps have been ~20-25C, humidity 55-62%


This morning, after ~36 hours hanging.

Started trimming them after 7 days hanging. Kept them whole, trimmed whatever I could easily reach.


Spent the rest of the weekend trimming and breaking them down.


Results as follows after drying & trimming:
