We have arrived at this point in the grow where it is time to chop up the plants and dry out the buds. Most of the leaves have dried up on the plant, and the crystals under the microscope are mostly milky with a touch of amber.. Just the perfect place they should be for this hybrid strain. It took a little longer than expected for these autos to grow, but I think that is because I was dialing back in my growing with the recent failures. I think I will get back into the hang of it with my next grow.
The buds look great, though I will need to wait awhile before I can try them. They currently smell strongly of grass, and so would the flavor if I tried some now. So curing is needed to get rid of this, hoping in maybe a few months I can try it. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.

The plants have given their all and I am really glad I got this far. My previous grow did not make it to this point, so it would seem the soil is much better.
Heh the buds were getting pretty heavy and bending over. Luckily this one had one netting catch it. Using two levels of netting allows it to be supported, and then can train better once it grows into the second netting.
That one I topped as it was flowering never made any more leaves.. but did produce some large buds.
With all those orange hairs, things are looking quite ripe. The smell has also got quite strong telling me they are quite resinous and should be good once all dried and cured.
Those buds got real fat!
Wish the canopy was more even, but its fine. Just glad nothing got burned. I had to raise the light all the way to the top of the tent to keep them from burning. So any taller would have been a disaster.
Tried using different lights to get some good pictures.
That one cola got quite big
Soon, another guess the weight contest will be held and I will be giving out Hive to the winner that guesses the closest to the harvest weight.
