    My first grow and Journal (leap year bud)

    I'm still around! I did have to take a break from society though. I went camping. I don't have a ton of experience with different kinds of weed, but to me it seems like great stuff. I can take one hit and be pretty happy for a few hours. I still feel energetic and engaged with things and...

    Stems Bendy or Snappy? (with pics)

    Thanks Grassroots. I don't know what strain it is. I got the seeds as a birthday present from a friend. They come from somewhere in Mendocino, and that's all I heard about them. I know that next time that I will do it right. I'm a little bummed about this time because I suspect while...

    Stems Bendy or Snappy? (with pics)

    Phew. Well, that's over. Clipping and pulling off cat hair is a bit tedious. But I got it all into six jars now. I think it's safe to say that it's dry. Nothing felt wet to me but nothing crumbled either. So I think it was good that I jarred it today.

    Stems Bendy or Snappy? (with pics)

    Thanks for the help Jointskie. Your advice about fine tuning them makes a lot of sense. I will get them into jars tomorrow. I will have a lot more weed in those jars once by the end of the day. I've seen some advice saying to only fill up the jars half way though. Are you thinking that...

    My first grow and Journal (leap year bud)

    Damn. Thanks Cheetah. I read a years worth of threads on drying and so very few of them said to not judge by the snapping stems. There is no lack of conflicting information out there. I think that you (and ffd2blk) have solidly swung the tide in favor of me getting my buds into jars ASAP. I...

    My first grow and Journal (leap year bud)

    Hi, So as you know, I harvested my first grow last week. I have everything hanging up in my closet drying with some fans to circulate air but not blow directly on the buds. It seems that everything is going ok, but I'm worried about over drying my bud. I hung it up to dry six days ago. Two...

    My first grow and Journal (leap year bud)

    Thanks guys! I was kinda awe struck by seeing that big pile o' bud. I didn't think that it would all add up to that much when I cut the branches. It was hard work trimming all of that (and picking off the hair.) Now that I'm drying it, I can see that even more hair is getting on it. So it...

    Viewing trichs without magnifying glass

    Hi, Those are some great photos. Really cool. Some of those trichs look cloudy to me fromt he pics, but they may just be picking up the ambient blue light. From personal experience, I thought that I had enough magnification where I could tell what was going on with my trichs at 60x. I would...

    Ruangi Grow Diary, 1st Time Grow

    Hey Runagi! Glad to see that your plants are ok. When I didn't see you post for awhile, i got super nervous that you had lost your crop. Those are looking good man. You are being too hard on yourself. Those buds still may bulk up nice and big yet. How far are you into flowering? Do you...

    My first grow and Journal (leap year bud)

    Oh, one more thing. Do any of you subscribe to the idea that leaving your plants in 24-48 hours of darkness before you chop helps the trichs develop? I heard some people say that it does, some people say that they haven't noticed a difference. I love to hear what you all think.

    Electricity Bill

    Mine went up about $70-100 a month with my 400w. It's because I exceed the baseline usage and the price of electricity goes up after that in stages. Different utility companies have different pricing structures, so it's isn't always the same.

    6/20/08 Day 56 flower / 110 days into grow Lights = 400w HPS 12/12 Hey everyone! Thanks for all the kind words and helpful advice over the last week. I thought my efforts were a bit mediocre. But your kind words reminded me that this is my first grow and I'm probably being too hard on...

    so i think i F'ed up... ** 56k No go HUGE PICS INSIDE!!!**

    I would be hesitent to transplant because it is a shock to the plants and they are already a bit weakened. Put pH adjusted water equal to three times the volume of the dirt through your soil. So if it's a 3 gallon pot, use 9 gallons of pH adjusted water. That should get the nutes out of your...

    My first grow and Journal (leap year bud)

    Yeah, thanks cheetah. I'm super excited. Did you flush yours before your harvest? When people say to flush before harvest for two weeks, do they mean give nothing but water? Or do they mean to give your plant 3x the amount the pot holds every day for two weeks? I guess I'm still confused about...
