Just stopping in to say hi. Hows that water cured bud treating ya? I water cured half my harvest this year and the smoke is great! the only down side is it doesn't really taste like weed, idk maybe its just me.

Your right, it doesnt really taste like bud too much. My first plant that I water cured turned out to be a disappointment to me, it wasnt potent at all. Could have been i harvested it later, or i didnt water cure it uncovered. I dont know, it was my first ever plant so hopefully the other ones are better. I got another plant water curing correctly this time.

Thanks for the answer on the PPM Gosh.... but I guess I messed up, I'm pretty sure I can get the nute schedule down, I'm just wondering if you can use tap water with PPM around 250 (I'd let it sit out to let chlorine evap) straight. Since I've been in soil, I've been careful and have been buying distilled, but getting expensive and pain in butt. I'd love to go straight tap!! Your grow looks great...

i use evap-tap with ppm closer to 300 without any problems. my rig is hydro if that makes a difference.

Yeah man, I used to buy the distilled water but its a big pain in the ass. Tap water works fine, I let mine sit for 24 hours first.

DAY 48 (DAY 12 OF FLOWER)

oh poop. Was your guys' plants supposed to finish around mid jan to late jan? Might have posted that in wrong thread. I'm pretty sure bigbud's grow finishes then. You guys are almost finished! stoner mistake.

Good chance that they're girls!!

I'm on day 18 of flower. Looking good Gosh. Out of my 7 plant, 2 were males. The first male showed really quickly (in first 5 days I think?), then all plants started showing some new shoot type things, and I thought they were females, on day 8 or so the other males showed... My point is, Males showed much quicker (and actually started producing pollen by day 14) so if they haven't shown yet, good chance that they're GIRLS!!!

Yeah, they're most likely girls if they havent shown yet. Its day 14 and still nothing from them. I thought I saw a white pistil on one of them from a little further away, but i got closer and couldnt find it. I thought for sure my biggest fastest growing plant was a male. Thats what happened to me last time. But you got a good ratio man. 5 out of 7 is damn good.

I'm excited man. Can't wait until I see some of those crystalized nugs.

DAY 50 (DAY 14 OF FLOWER)

I fed my babies. They been drinking a lot of water lately. Still no signs of sex on the other two. They should be showing within the next two days. My big girl has 7 different colas on it that should turn out similar in size.

Thanks man! Glad you stopped in!

Well, here are a few bonus pictures. I harvested another plant from my AG grow which is finishing up. There are 2 plants hanging to dry. Small, darker one was water-cured and the other one will be air cured. I tested a small sample and wow, it tastes wonderful. I only got 2 hits cuz I split it with my girl, but had a moderate cerebral high. Should be a nice different in highs between the two plants cuz i plucked the one too early and I let the water cured one go a little longer.

looking good dog blaze one
