OMG dude, Those are some huge huge buds. Very well grown, very big. You cared great for it.

Now, I know you may of stated this before, but can you do a quick some up for your lighting, veg time, and flowering time, when did you start/stop using nutes. How big are they. Those looks like some 4-5ft plants. Then it looks like you got one big monstor in there, how tall is he? So Impressed.

Major props, and if I can give you more rep, you have earned it. Those are some of the biggest buds ive seen out of anyones journal. Most Impressive grow I have seen so far in this forum.

Super great grow bro. I only hope mine is half as big.

thanks :)

lighting: 600w HPS used for veg and flower, also used 5 meters of mylar in my grow area to use ub every bit of available light.

Vegging: I only properly vegged for 2 weeks. what i mean by properly is when they started off as seedlings they were in natural light. then they went under my hps on a 18/6 schedule.

Flowering: This has taken longer than expected due to a few things i think. firstly the conditions aren't perfect. because of where they are the temp rises and drops quite dramatically when the light is on/off. also had my lamp too close for a while. it stunted growth, but they are recovering now. On december the 9th (tomorrow) it will be 9 weeks of flowering. geez..... but that i think is because of my conditions.

Nutes: I started feeding about 3 weeks into flowering (maybe a little sooner, i didn't document this well). i stopped feeding them about a week ago and have started the flushing.

Size: Because of my issue with my light i had some problems with growth. out of my 3 plants 2 are around the 3 foot mark while 1 of them is aboout 5 foot.

Bro, you didn't do to much wrong, 2 may be 3 footers, but thats a good size, and they are very full, and potent looking buds, you have one 5 FOOTER, OMG, thats a nice size plant, and look at those buds, I like to see a pic with a ruler against the cola of the 5 footer.

You made a few errors...Maybe, did you recover from those errors, YES. I would chop them in a week tops, look like the hairs would be the right color, its really the trichcombes, but when they turn ambur, it makes the hair amber color, now, you see them in person, and can judge better, but from the pics, I suggest harvest in 1 week tops as long as you had proper flushing time.

Excellent job, I only hope to do as good as you do this grow. Did you say this was your first grow?

Can't wait to see harvest pics, if you can, put up a pic of the 5 foot one and put a ruler up to the cola, take a pic of that, I love to see it.

Yummy looking buds, excellent grow my friend.

hey gwerns nugs, I've been meaning to get in tough with you for a while.

I had a look at some of your pics (on my iPhone, will look at more detail when I'm on my pc). They're looking good! Do you know the strain?

What's your setup like? Lights, nutes etc.....

From the pics I saw they looked good. But are you experiencing any problems?

was really nice catching up on your grow. it took you months and me minutes. I've got a similar grow (kush, 600w) and everything i've learned has been through the good folks at RIU. Question:
also had my lamp too close for a while. it stunted growth, but they are recovering now.

I'm worried about my bulb being too close. I've heard people say hold the back of your hand where your buds are and that is the heat they are feeling. I can go 6 inches with a gentle warmth but a lot of people say 18 inches away. you seem to have the experience so what did you have it at when it was too close and where did you move it to. Also, what were your temps at the time if you can remember (highs, and lows - i have large swings during lights out too).

If I can come close to what you harvested I will be a happy gardener.
