Hey All!

Well, I sure am sorry I haven't been taking too good care of my journal. The laptop issue that I had got a lot worse and now it's completely unusable until I scrounge up the money to get it fixed.

But the good news is, the BV grow has finished. Just last Wednesday in fact. I ran to some heat issues in the final few weeks of the grow. Pretty sure it was the Gravity that set this off but I need better circulation in there on that canopy.

The heat issue created a huge variance in the quality of the smoke. Those closest to the light tend to be on the weaker side. But the lower buds pack a great punch.

I spent the whole weekend manicuring and drying. Ugh. I am so doing a better job with the lollipopping of the scrog next time around. Took forever.

But when all was said and done, it came in at just a little over 5 ounces total. That's pretty much the number I was shooting for so I'm happy...particularly considering that this op was far from dialed in.

The White Rhino that I started is currently 6 weeks into veg under the screen. I'll be taking a bunch of clones tomorrow and then putting her into flower. She's already a beast.

Well, that's it for now. I'm pretty much crippled in regards to my journal without my laptop so you won't be seeing me too much until that gets fixed. I'll stop in and update as I get access to other computers. Thanks for checkin in.

Five ounces from one plant, indoors, that wasn't vegged for a year to become a gigantic tree first?! OK, that is it!!! I've gotta go SCROG, and ASAP! I could flower two or three plants at a time tops, instead of aiming for my county's limit of six mature in order to ensure I have enough to cook with it daily, etc.! My best friend keeps telling me he'll help with whatever I need (in and out of my garden), so I'm gonna take him up on it and have him help me build some good screens (meaning I'll be doing the bulk of the designing and he'll be doing all of the building LOL).

Sorry about the computer issues... I know how much that sucks! I've been wondering where you'd been, but I've been so reclusive lately that I figured I just kept missing you or something.

Tried to rep you, but apparently I've gotta spread that around more first. RIU's "fair" repping procedure annoys me, because I have to give rep for things I don't care all that much about in order to give it for things I do. Oh well, the thought is there, eh?

Hey All,

Well, I have a few minutes with access to a computer so I figured that I'd give a rather important update. My math on the 5 ounces was WAY off. Had the wrong conversion factor on the whole grams to ounces thing.

It wasn't 5 ounces....it was a little over 7 ounces for that one plant. I was really impressed when I recrunched the numbers and figured out that I got 7 ounces and not 5. But then I did the math again and realized that it only comes out to about 0.5 grams/watt.

So, the veg time was about 6 weeks and the flowering time went into 11 weeks. That's quite a wait for one plant.

In the meantime, I have the White Rhino now just 1 day away from flowering and I just germed a Pineapple Express seed so the perpetual aspect should be down pat soon enough.

Thanks for all of the well-wishes and for stoppin in.

Seven ounces?! Nothing to complain about there!

I wonder if the .5g per watt was due to it being just one plant... what I mean is, in the pot size and space allotted, perhaps one plant can't produce much more than that. It's not like you just grew one of MBlaze's gigantic trees. You were originally going to have two or three plants in this grow, weren't you? I'll bet two or three plants grown the exact same way you did this one would yield your 1g per watt.

Get the hinged glass bother. Glass needs cleaning once a week at least. Cool tubes are a nightmare. You have to take the light apart, duct tape and all to clean the dust inside of it. Other square lights make you take out screws and stuff.

My first hempy style bucks I used 75/25 coco/perlite. But at the bottom 3" of the bucket I filled with the (hydroton sized) perlite. That's 1" above the drain hole. I wanted to create a permanent air space between the water and coco. I was worried about the coco wicking up too much water, I want only the roots drinking without worrying about over watering.

My A haze 3's are in the 9th week of flower. I had 5 fem. All germed great. I put 1 in a 5 gallon bucket, 1 in a coco pot,(for comparison), and 3 in 2.5 gallon buckets.

Coco pot is the smallest and closest to finish. Each of the hempy's will give me 1/4-1/2 pound each. coco bout 2 onces.

The 5 gallon is biggest, but turns out to be another strain I think. smells like vanilla. Got the 5 in a pack of fem from greenhouse seeds. Anyone know what GH strain smells like vanilla?

Also I got 5 femmed alaskan ice before and got 4 Alaskan ice and one Super Lemon Haze. I didn't complain because they were both unbelievable.

Everyone whom smoked the Alaskan ice said it was the best they ever had. Then the SLH got finished and all those people then said THAT was better than the ice. lol But if you folks think Alaskan Ice is ordinary, think again. I would smoke the ice if it didn't get me high. I loved the flavor so much. A truley exotic smoke. But SLH won the cup 2 years now. And is just as special.
