I took a few more sample cuts, one of the Sage n Sour and one of the Bubba Kush. Again both are small side branch's, no colas yet.

Also I had to go over to IC to find some other Bubba growers and it looks like the average harvest time is at day 70 Which is interesting because they look like there done, but all the trichomes are still clear to cloudy. Looks like I have at least 2 more weeks on the Bubba, day 56, but I'll keep checking trichome's everyday and won't go past 30% amber. On the other hand I think I will harvest the 3 small Bubba's I have in 5-7 days so I can have some morning/daytime smoke that won't knock me on my ass. I also found out that Bubba isn't a big yielder, which makes sense because none of the flowers look bigger than 4-5 grams. At least I vegged them for a long time and topped a lot of branches, plus all the Lst had to help. So on my 3 big Bubbas I', hoping for 3-5 ounces per plant. And then on the 4 small Bubba's maybe an ounce per plant. The SnS looks to be at 5-10% amber so I think she will be done within a week. I gave her her first does of final phase yesterday, and will give her at least one more watering with the final phase before harvest. She looks to be a decent yielding strain. Even though all she's been through, spider mites, root aphids, lockout, ph problems, ect. I think I'll get 4-6 ounces off her.

I was able to sample the fruits of my labor on some of the SnS that I had cut on 4/20. It had only been flushed with plain water for about a week when it was cut but there wasn't any snap crackle pop when smoked. The ash did burn black though with very little gray But it got me high and tasted OKAY. I know with a proper cure it will be some awesome smoke

The first five pics are all the Bubba and the 2nd page will be the sage n sour

man, that sage n sour is some of the nicest herb i've ever smoked. bubba too of course. can't wait to hear your final harvest weight. looks to be good!

Well I was forced to harvest the 4 smaller Bubba Kush plants today. One had a light Spider mite infestation and they were moving from the fan leaves to the bud leaves on all the lower small growth, so they are out of the flower room, and soon to be hanging up to dry. I was planning on harvesting these 4 this week but not last night so it was definitely a bummer. I have been using the spider mite predators about every 2 weeks. It's the container with the 3 different species, and they were the 500 or 5000 predators containers which were the bigger ones soooo.. I don't know what else to do to kill them so late in flower other than predators and me pulling every leaf with signs of mites. Any tips??? I went thoroughly through the other 4 big plants and they had some mites on the lower fan leaves, but nothing to freak out about. I just had to removes the leaves, smash any mites I could find and throw away the leaves. I hope I can keep them under control for another 2 weeks so i can let the Bubba do her thing. Plus I am going to try and re-veg my best to Bubba's cause I was a moron and didn't take any cloans of her I have already trimmed one plant and its hanging to dry. I have 3 more to go...The first one came in at 111 grams wet so I hope for an ounce dry. My hands were SOOOOO sticky from all the trimming it was ridiculous. I would just about glue my fingers to a stem while trimming. Made a nice little hash ball from my hands and the scissors. Anyways will update with the wet weight from the other 3 later today. I also might be cutting down the SagenSour tonight, gotta check the trichs when the lights come back on.

Hey 805dnbhead, yeah the SnS is some of my favorite herb to smoke, the smell, the taste, the high. All amazing. Since were close maybe we could work something out. Let me know and I'll give you my email.

what it do? lets see some pics of that big sage n sour!

The effectiveness of your predators can be improved or reduced by the environment. It depends on the species you use. Some like warmer temps, higher humidity, stuff like that. Also, some types of predators use soil to lay eggs or pupate into adults and so forth, so if you're doing hydroponics you might be unable to let the predators reproduce.
