In all honesty, I don't really think it's worth the build time or the money to make one of those dryers. I just let them dry out naturally, it does the trick.

As far as humidity goes, the lower the better.

if you can control the humidity keep it at 40% and the dry will have some great end result. a modest lvl of humidity makes the dry a bit slower and end product better. make sure you have some ventilation, not a fan blowing directly on the buds tho

has icurb gone m.i.a. again?? or did he finally harvest and is too stoned to post some pics

Hi, still here. Not much going on with the plant. Seems something may have stunted it's growth? I see new fresh hairs growing on the bud sites... Im thinking something happened and it's now repairing itself? Im not really sure.

I am not having any amber trichs though so Im not chopping yet. I also quit smoking like 3 weeks ago so I can piss clean for any jobs that decide to actually call a motherfucker back. Had I known they wouldn't respond for this long then I'da not quit smoking so long ago. But, with my luck if I hit some weed - it will be the next day someone calls "HEY! Got an interview and piss test lined up for ya"..... FUCK! lol

I guess dropping in here and really joining discussions causes me to want to smoke so I am trying to slightly lurk once every few days as not to think too much about the fun I'm missing.

So to recap:

#3 is still in her pot
She seems to have slowed growth, buds not getting any fatter (Cept maybe the main cola. That fucker is HUGE. It's bigger than my arms)
No amber anywhere.
Juicy, sticky and stinky.
Not in any hurry to chop, due to break in smoking.
Riding it out... eagerly.


P.S... About the main cola. It really is FAT. I mean, I tried to take pics of it before and the camera does it no justice. The damn thing is huge.. Like a gigantic horse dong. lol
Just looking at that thing alone Im not so sure I will have enough jars to jar it up.
It looks like the most dense part too.. The branches are very fluffy and shit... or just leafy lookin buds... Super trichy, but not much BUDDAGE..... but that cola man.... mmm... Wanna wrap it up in a roll of paper and grab a torch. lol.... It'll last me ages in itself.

Still I want the branches to fatten up!

pics we want pics. You cant tease us with that kind of discrptn and not shows us anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like a gigantic horse dong. lol

ROFLMAO! That is fucking great, man! My second chance is not nearly as LST'd as the first one was and it is just in a gallon pot, (Same one I transplanted to a couple of months ago) so it won't be nearly as big as yours! I, myself, am pretty eager to see the updates on that monster! That is the last chance so I would rather have only 1/4 of an ounce due to rootbinding, than risk accidentally killing her and having nothing.

I got a new grow started up, but I will probably never get around to making another journal until I have gotten the hospital job I'm still trying to lock down. NCLEX is only a couple weeks away!

I had the obscene luck to find not only a reasonably solid dresser, but also a ton of scrap wood (well, particle board) while helping my sister move. I found a kickass rubber ducky, too but I lost it...

I got some pics of the second chance, some of the regs seeds and 3 of the Mystery Strain: Babycakes seeds going and 2 are already up... lets just hope I have at least one female in each group. The temps are down to never getting above 79.7 for the past week or so!

When was the last time you repotted #3?

yeah where's da pics???!

I'm with stupid ^

Where the pics at?

ok, ok ill take some pics tonight. all of the fan leafs are dying off. Turning yellow and dying out.. I just pluck off the dead brown ones every week or so.

Still not seeing any amber in the crystals... I will try to get some magnification shots too.

Days since ground-break: 104 days
Days of 12/12: 81 (11 weeks, 6 days OUT OF 10weeks LOL!)
Number of plants: 1
Lights: (1) 150w HPS, (1) 42w CFL, (2)26w CFL
Lumens: 15,000 + 2,700 + (2)1,600 = 20,900
Light Cycle: 9/16
Temps: 75ºF


Jesus, looks like its been like 19 days since my last update. ha

ok... well, I did the magnifier, and im still not seeing any amber. My lights have been on 9.5 of light.. Maybe that wasnt a good idea?? Maybe I didnt cut it back enough?? who the fuck knows...

also, I watered 2 days ago... straight 6.5pH H20... no nutes...

Whatever.. here are some pics.

The blue thing is a lid to a 1gal milk jug.. Ya know. .just typical milk jug lid.... I used it for size reference.















I dont feel the pics EVER give it justice...


here are some magni-pics













... No amber..

But I see a lot of milky ones... amber coming soon!

I just made an interesting observation.

Remember the branch I tied off to the side... The one I was attempting to pollenate with Charlie's powder?... That branch is mainly in the shade of the rest of the plant. It was the lowest branch at the time I tied it down... and it just kinda chills over there.

Anyways, the interesting thing is, it is the ONLY branch on the whole bush that doesnt have leafs turning yellow and dying..... How weird is that?

thai is strange, lookin at those pics you have about 4-5 days till chop

Welp.. I got curious...

Im sick of not smokin... Plus my plant seems to be killing large leafs off one-by-one... I thought fuckit... and cut off a branch... Kind of a trial run i guess. See if I can cure it without having grass smell indefinitely.

Just took a small one

Picsh.













And then I made this little make-shift drying box out of one of those Costco size cheerio boxes. ha.... woot!

sup curb, great grow so far!

few things i wanted to point out, i was reading and noticed ur feeding schedule is like every other day, u should really start letting the soil dry out a lil more between waterings next grow. the plants will stay perky the whole grow.

and next time u get a confirmed female u should clone instead of trying to breed for seeds. either that or pollinate during veg when u see preflowers so the plant can use all the energy and food for bud production. also pollinating will delay the time it takes for the plant to finish.

the yellowing/browning of the leaves is due to the pollination, the plant uses up all the nutes and micronutes to produce seed. and it causes the buds to almost come to a hault so it can reproduce. these plants will sacrifice growth for survival and replication.

the seeds will take 4-5 weeks to finish, once the seeds are mature the plant will pick up where it left off. I could definitely see this plant taking 13+ weeks to finish flowering.

also u may wanna consider flushing right ab now if the seeds are mature, if they arent mature then u might need to add more potassium and phosphorus to ur feeding since ur leaves are looking like the plant is crying out for it.

great job so far bro
keep it up, and do u have anything germinating for the next grow yet or are u gonna wait till u run out of smoke???

Waiting to see the final harvest pics yet.

Getting any more amber yet?

Nice job Curb, that cola looks HUGE!!

update!!! ahhh!!! i cant read 64 pages to have an ending like this.

how was the harvest? what was the final dry weight? are you going to start another grow?

Wow and i say Wow 0o after reading through most of your threads i have to say i am inspired. I said i would never go back to soil again but now i'm really tempted. + reps thanx for sharing your experience. Peace

I haven't chopped the whole plant yet. Just got bored and decided to do a little practice run with one of the smaller branches.

Right now I am about 42hrs into the drying process.

The humidity in my area is pretty high. For instance according to weather.com it is 90% humidity outside!

Just any old place in my house it's 44% humid...

I have found that putting my cheerios box near a heater fan on low, or near a dish heater it helps a lot.

With the dish heater on low my stats are 71F, 38% humid

With the heater fan it's about 78F, 30% humid

I am big on conserving energy in my house.. downstairs i keep the heat off completely and I only run a dish heater in my office for me during the day... At night I go ahead and run the heater fan in the closet downstairs for it.

I really cant get any less than 30% humidity right now.

I figure for the real harvest I will buy a dehumidifier and return it once my bud is dry.

Status of branch: it's looking weepy but not dry yet... Few more days!
