Bertha - Big Bang Auto [G2]

@Z4Z0Z, I am having about a 1 degree variance at the moment and the RH dropped to 47% overnight, I've lose the air hole and lets see how quickly it rises.

@UnorthadoxDude, I use the same setup for drying except that I cannot perfectly control temperature in that box...

@ILoveGrowingBudzGR, thank you! 🙏

@Themythicalchristine, by the way, I decided to add some photos of my other plants to this diary, since all the other diaries are full of photos and as Bertha isn't changing rapidly, I figured I'd stick them in here. :)

@Themythicalchristine, It is really fruity but sort of smells like sweets. Like refreshers specifically.

@UnorthadoxDude,now I’m really intrigued; discribe the smell 💜✨

@NegotiatedBubble, Got it and makes sense. Good idea on weighing to determine when the bud stabilizes on the weight loss. Thanks!

@NegotiatedBubble, Good to know! Thank you for the recommendation, it is very much appreciated! I'll keep you updated on what I setup.

@MedicineMaker, you will need a tiny oscillating fan blowing indirectly and not on the actual buds. A larger fan in a 2x2 will dry out the buds prematurely. Something like a 200mm computer fan might work (stationary or tent exhaust). I picked up the below one for my cloning chamber: https://www.amazon.com/UTUO-Variable-Exhaust-Cooling-Adjustable/dp/B08MZBJMK4/ref=sr_1_4?crid=27DGGWUCUK7EN&keywords=220v+variable+speed+controller+computer+fan&qid=1678330506&s=electronics&sprefix=220v+variable+speed+controller+comptuer+fa%2Celectronics%2C137&sr=1-4

@UnorthadoxDude, un buen resultado forma parte de una gran experiencia 🌱🏄‍♂️ Creo que debería probar con ésta cepa 🌺 Disfrútala al máximo 🤞

@MiyaguiOkPolilla, well the flavour and smell are both really good 8/10 the high is almost all head high, quick acting, not super long lasting. All in all better than nothing which i what I expected after all the problems!

@Drgreen13, thank you! She was a brief but wonderful smoke!

@NegotiatedBubble, yeah it's all for me so it doesn't matter if it's not top shelf nugs.

😄 @SirSalami, :D

@ZoobZoob_farmZ, ty :)

@UnorthadoxDude, I'm checking the site often as well, so glad I joined. I didn't realized I would find such helpful and passionate fellow growers like you. 🙏

@MedicineMaker, yeah me too it's certainly the diaries and the interaction that adds to my motivation and helped me get the bug. I check the site multiple times a day to see if there are any new comments or conversations. :)

@UnorthadoxDude, Thank you for following my grow. I can tell you have a passion for this and I would always consider your advice. Your grows are so cool and I love the fact of you experimenting with growing other herbs with your plants. I'm open to any advice you are willing to share, this is what I love about our grow community.

@MedicineMaker, How nice 😊. I am a bit weird (in many ways) but specifically relevant here is that I care quite a bit more about the way something smells than the way it tastes. Quite honestly her scent saved her life (for a bit longer anyway). There isn't really much to do with her now but keep an eye on proceedings really. I think she will be at least partially chopped in probably about a week and a half or maybe 2 weeks.

@UnorthadoxDude, Oh well, I'll be here for you throughout the grow to see how it all turns out. Crazy how strong a smell Bertha is producing! I really hope it all turns out well! I'm wishing you all the luck with her and I remain positive!

@MedicineMaker, I am sorry to make you wait but I do think it will likely be about 2 months from now before I do a smoke report - by the time she finishes, dries, and cures. Quite possibly longer. I had some hope briefly last week that she might produce 20-30g, however that relied on the buds fattening and to be honest it looks like they are foxtailing now - which is no surprise given all the stresses this plant has had. The only one slightly concerning thing is that the smell is really close to one of the three plants in my first grow... and that plant turned out to have botrytis. I am therefore keeping an overly paranoid overly close watch on her. Like I don't take many photos but I am checking all the bud sides, every cola stem, gently exploring inside the plant. This is how I have come to notice the frost. From the outside it is not impressive, however when you move a couple of colas gently apart you can see it is absolutely packed and I mean PACKED. The only thing you can smell in the tent is Bertha. There are thirteen cannabis plants, dozens of basils and chamomiles, and karen is 2 days older than Bertha and quite significantly more massive... dripping with frost and a really strong smell. Yet when you open the tent literally all you can smell is Bertha. It smells exactly like Barratt Refreshers candy.

@UnorthadoxDude, salud 🌱

@psyatique, :D Cheers

@MedicineMaker, The yield wont be surprising. Well under 10g I reckon. Still curious to the taste because if it's really good I might give Big Bang a second chance in the future.

@Breadandbuds, I check her several times every day for nanners, I am paranoid because of her problems. She is not strong, but she is trying her very best bless her. She has such a distinct look that I wonder if I have a strange pheno as well as the rough grow. She is not far now, I am actively checking trichs every day. The top of the plant looks to be 1-2 weeks more mature than the least mature cola. I am not sure whether to wait until the youngest buds are ready, or to chop in part. The other issue is that the older buds are foxtailing like crazy now... so she is not making fat buds just increasingly long and thin ones. Trichomes on the buds most mature (older growth with dark pistils) is I would say somewhere like 20% milky, 80% cloudy. Elsewhere the youngest looking buds are barely 30% milky. I could quite easily chop the top colas now, but I am going to let her trundle along.

@Breadandbuds, "some" hah she has ALL the difficulties!

@Seed2WeedYT, ty!
