just curious. it took me ages to flush my plants 2 weeks before harvest. I took each one into a big sink and slowly ran water over it for 15 minutes. I can't see that being feasible with your orchard. Do you flush? if yes, how?

fluros are ok but you need to keep them within 1 INCH of the tops. Thats how i vegged mine with good results.

DrybieGrow 1.0: 6 plants, 13 ounces DrybieGrow 2.0: 15 plants (smaller), 13 ounces I feel that if I had the temps under control I could have gotten more this time around but I don't want to sound gluttonous now do I. enjoying the fruits of my labour...

another voice in the choir: female preflowers. happy day!

yes, you have enough space but I would think about going to 12/12 flowering before a month of veg and make sure you tie down the tops. I did some l.s.t. in my 2nd grow if you follow my sig link and search a bunch of pages back.

very pro. you're right, (so far) no stretch. I've read tons of tips to help minimize it - in your vast experience what would you say are the most important factors in minimizing stretch?

I love this part. btw, there's a great big grin behind the blur.

northern red: harvest day! me happy! the resin i scraped off my scissors packed into a ball of hash the size of a large pea. All is well and hanging in the empty, and lonely, room of death. i need the space heater. It goes down to -15 outside on the other side of the vent!

I've actually dreamt that scene a couple times - actually it was more of a nightmare.

nor the cash. my electricity bill spiked 50% this month over the same time period last year (pre-grow).

weedman, is that because your strains are long flowering? is because you like couchlock? Do you notice a big difference in resin production from week 8 to 12? how about weight? I'm just asking because a lot of the FAQs on the subject say the harvest window is fairly small and usually at around 8...

if the soil was moist (not soaking) then just wait and keep it warm. not too bright. i usually saw a 1/4 inch taproot by 48 hours and then it sprout through the soil in 3-4 days after that. patience. don't water and no nutes.

looks awesome - loving the bleachers. Watering for me was a bitch trying to reach some of the plants. I now use a 5 foot stretch of 2.5 inch ABS tubing to funnel the water from the watering can to the plant. I just stick the long probe into the soil and water from a distance. works pretty good...

Pics didn't show up yesterday - they are there now. I know that the close-up shot doesn't look nearly ready for harvest but other buds are totally amber. I don't have the time to harvest bit by bit so I will do it all at once and separate the early harvest from the late in jars. 15 small plants...
