This girl is entering her 24hr dark period. Just about hit the goal of 2ft plants coming in at 22.5inches. Very happy with quality, quantity however could have been much better. Problem with bag seed - I don't think this particular pheno/strain liked being HST'd

Chopped my 8 cola lady this past Sunday 1/31. She came in a little smaller at 21 inches, but has much more weight and 2 additional colas. Very happy with the way this one turned out as well. Chopped because I was tired of looking at nanners and foxtails lol Trichrome mix 5% clear, 85% cloudy, 10% amber

How long veg do you need for that 8 cola plant?
Also, what's yield? Wet or dry... do you have numbers?

Beautiful work my man, your plants are fire. I absolutely have to give mainlining a try.

We did 5 weeks veg for these. I just chopped, bitch is still hanging right now. Will get wet numbers before I put them in Jars.
I did a 6, 7, and 8 cola plant. The 8 was the best by far and I could have utilized more inside space.

Thanks bro! appreciate the love. Mainlining is that shit, I like that each branch gets equal distribution (for the most part) of nutrients. It's a PITA during veg but once you flip they are pretty much on autopilot

Chopped 2/2. Ugly gnat girl but feels like she got the most weight out of the 3

So totals right now:

6 cola - 44 grams after 3 days in the jar
7 cola - 95 grams after 1 day in the Jar
8 cola - 85 grams after 5 days in the jar

Highest quality seems to be 8 cola with 7 a close second. Wont know for sure until I smok them.
Aesthetic goes to 6 cola for the super purps
Heaviest goes to the mauled-by-gnats 7 cola
Most consistent goes to 8 cola

Overall I think 8 cola and 6 cola were the same strain, 7 cola was totally different - so hard to really say what's what with this test.

I can say that all the plants underutilized canopy space - could have pulled much more if I utilized the empty space.

7 cola's accidental seventh cola was actually a blessing in disguise - this gave us some idea at what just a pure top could output and I must say I am pleased with the results.

Updates coming soon as to final dry weight. Thanks for joining me on this journey.

so that weight is after they dried? did you leave the stem on or manicure them? not a bad yield half an elbow if thats the weight of strictly the dried flowers if they are still holding moisture and the main stem is still intact expect to lose 25% more weight

So what was veg time for those three plants?
5 week veg

I would say half dried. I would expect to lose about 15 more grams of moisture - they are starting to feel pretty good. For example, the 7 cola (2 days in jar) has only lost .4 since yesterday. We can expect that to decrease over time, but extrapolating out for 2 more weeks of curing at that rate I can expect a loss of 4.8g for that 1 plant. Using that rate of each plant (even though the others are much drier) I can expect to lose ~15g if that makes sense.

These are trimmed off the stem and in jars nows

ok yes i am in the same boat i jarred 28 grams that were mostly dry and put a boveda pack in there in 2 days they lost about 3 grams weight but they are getting hard as rocks and smelling good that was just my quick dry sample the rest are going to hang 14 days in a 60-60 dark

I've heard mix reactions with the boveda packs. I hung these for about 4-5 days in as close to 60/60 I could get. Then to the Jar first day burp every 2 hours for a day, then twice a day for like 4-5 days, then once a day until it's been in the jar for 2 weeks. We'll see how it turns out.
