hmm well the best smelling by far is SLH. imagine lemon juicy fruit, that has pepper sprinkled lightly on it. then you have SLH. the Kaya 47 is not as strong of a smell but the cure will tell. if i didnt burn it i think i coulda gotten close to double the yield. but oh well. anyways i jarred the side nugs today, of 5 of the plants, (SLH # 2 is still drying a little) and hit 220 grams, dry. i have 19 colas still drying and probably weigh an average of 10 grams each. i think ill get around 25-30 grams dry off SLH # 2 so that would put me right under 1 pound. which is what i was shooting for but wouldof been happy with 12 ounces.

Are you happy with the open sasame,cha ching and beastie bloom? Im a week away from flowering and am thinking of getting those but am a little put off by the price but from what ive heard and a few pics that i seen it works well. Well thanks for answering my questions.
What strains are you doing for your next grow and when will you start the new journal? cant wait. keep it up.

itll be probably two months or so before i start another grow, im moving so have to put my house on the market and cant really have a grow going on in the process ;-)

ya i definitely reccomend them, also get a cal-mag. i additionally like the bloombastic, used precisely at week 4-6 of flowering seems to make a big difference, and really only during those weeks. shake it real well.

also snow storm ultra, or purple maxx would be a good additive as well if you want but not necessary, and use it during all of flowering.

Justsayno, yes it is really good weight, if i hit a pound then i would of achieved .75 GPW. but i also did a long veg, 6-8 weeks. on one of my bagseeds ill probably hit over 100 grams off of it. damn i wish i cloned it, but soon we will see if it is a good smoke, smells very tasty.

Bloombastic? Damn you must be rich! jk Thats something else ive been wanting to try out too. But since my wreck a few days ago i doubt ill be working anytime soon and that means no $. Do you know anywhere to get the cha ching,beastie, sesame and bloombastic somewhat cheap???
I know you said it would be a couple of months b4 your next grow but have you gave it much though to the strains youll be trying out? Are you going to try somethimg new or are you gonna stick with any of these strains? And 1 more question, were you happy with the 600 watt hps? This is my first time with a 600w or any light for that matter and am a little curious to how good they are.
Well take it easy and good luck with the move.

ya i love my 600, although sometimes i wish i wouldve gone for the 1000W. thats neither here nor there. haha no not rich, i only got the 30 dollar bottle. um well try ebay, thats where i got mine, they were 90 bucks with free shipping. i bought all my gear when i was a little flush with cash.

well im definitely doing the SLH again, and depending on the smoke report on the kaya 47 i may run that strain again. but then im thinking Barney's farm Pineapple chunk, and LSD

Barney's farm has lot's of hermie problems or so I hear... look round for yourself first. o and i just got my first 1000 and they make sooo much more heat than a 600 it's insane. I'd almost prefer to get the same total wattage using more 600s then 1000s...

when I go HID its going to be a ceramic metal halide only downer is max is 400w but I've been looking at the spectrum analysis charts and its pretty damn near all you would need for veg and flower. Besides they put out way less heat and run off the old magnetic hps ballasts, you can get a complete 400w lighting kit from HTGsupply for 120$ so I figure why not just run 2 and get 800w going

idk, if you run a air cooled hood, it should take most of the heat out of the room, an djust port it somewhere else, but idk, i guess ill do some research before though. hmm, i havent heard that about barney's farm but will do the research before i buy.

swwert, im glad you learned a lot from my journal, ill post some links of some great threads in a minute you should read.

ok i have my final dry weight, i got 400 grams dry from the 6 plants. thats about .665 GPW on my 600. so i guess i did alright for my first grow. next grow im shooting for 1 GPW haha.

the big jars are 2L jars and the small one is a 1Q then the smallest a 32Oz

some moisture could still come out and they need airspace, or are you dumping and rotating the buds to let them dry out abit?

ya man. i am realy glad how well they turned out. one of the bagseed, EPN, is probably the frostiest of them all. but they are very potent. normally i could smoke atleast a few bowls by myself in one session, if not 4-5 before i have to call it quits, or im too high and space out and forget to smoke anymore. but this stuff, im lucky if i can finish a bowl before i get to or way past that point where i cant smoke anymore. its really potent stuff, and they all good clear highs, except the white widow, its a knock you on your ass for a few hours, and go to sleep if you smoke a whole bowl.
