It takes a month to cure??? I don't know if my self control is that strong. :eyesmoke:
Yea, I usually smoke the smaller "popcorn" buds while the good colas and lower nugs are all curing, 2 weeks minimum tho if you want good smell and taste!

Day 88 total, Day 58 12/12...So I think I'm gonna chop her down on saturday morning (day 60 of flower)! Great amount of amber thrichs, 90% of the hairs are red (all except for a few foxtails), calyaxes all swollen, and all the thrichs are standing straight up...so saturday is chop-chop! Here's the pictures...PEACE!

Yea man, tomorrow's the day...I unpluged the lights and just have the fans going. I have some things to do tomorrow, so I'm not gonna have the lights turn on and just leave them in the dark till I get to chopping. Also, I'm just gonna cut the branches off at the base, pull off the large fan leaves, trim a little, hang dry, then do a final trim when they're ready to be jarred!

another question for you bhadari, how close have you positioned you large cfl, 125w I think from your girls…

I added a 250w last night for flower and having kept all my little cfl within an inch I currently have the 250w about 7 inches from the girls…

I could go closer as the heat isn't too much from it but then there is better coverage, spread a little higher up, but then I worry about too much stretch becoming an issue,

thoughts?

The 125 watter is at the top of my grow area, about 3 inches away from the plants top canopy. I keep that bulb on top, and have the 26 watters all around the sides and below the main canopy. I have the 125 watt bulb in a reflector hood with 2 adjustable straps to allows me to raise and lower the whole unit...hope that helps man!

HARVEST TIME! I'll post a shit-ton of pics after I get done. I'm going to chop her into large branches, pluck the large fan leaves, and only do a light trim. Then I'm gonna hang her to dry for a little, and do a final trim before jaring the buds. PEACE!

Hey all...sorry for the delay, was really busy with classes and didnt have the time to post up. So, I harvested on 11-9-13, which was Day 90 total, and Day 60 12/12! Here are the pics, shes drying right now in the same room...temps are 66-70 degrees f with 35% RH, and I dont have a fan in there...didnt use one last time and everything worked out fine! And now for pictures, and more picture...PEACE!

Oh, and I didnt do a wet weight cause it doesent really matter...Ill do a dry weight after my final trim, before I jar...probably about 2-3 more days. She's still bending, and has a lot of moisture in her (hanging for 3 days now)...that is all for now!
