This weekend I will get the webcam out and take some proper photos of them, I want to have some good ones anyway (to show the grandkids... "you know johnny, the gov't didnt always give out free 'dro") I think you will be impressed. They are very nice looking plants, they aren't massive 5000w...

Hey check out my grow journal I am using CFls and those same types of hoods, I managed to get 4 bulbs under each hood using an extender and 3 Y splitters per hood. I really like the raising/lowering platform you built. Skip to the last page of my journal for the best stuff. Last 4 pages is good...

Haven't made any posts of this grow in here yet, here are my 'moms' and one their two clones at day 40 of 12/12. The clones were veg'd for like 10 days and then right into 12/12 from the cut. They are in hempy buckets, the larger and much older moms are in MG soil.

This is day 40 of 12/12. The big CFL in the middle is a 200w replacement, it's like 5 inches across. I think I burnt them slightly, I flushed and they seem to be doing ok. No more MG. Going to get molasses tomorrow. 1) Dirt 'mom' look at how thick that is 2) other dirt 'mom' top 3) Clone top...

From the looks of it I could piece one together, but use one? That's another story.

Does anyone know a process by which the 'percent THC' content of any particular bag or strain of bud can be determined within a decent tolerance? Looking for something that doesn't involve guessing. Thanks! :blsmoke:

First pic is from a week or so ago... we are in day 31 of 12/12. You can't tell but the lighter is being held right against the plant. (that is, perpendicular to it) Sorry for the blur in some cases, the camera I have is crap.

What is molasses? You don't mean, from-a-tree?

Thanks for the advice, I'll just have to keep posting pics as I get closer and looking at more finished journals. Trust me, I'm not ganna take steel to stem until I'm certain this time lol :mrgreen: Edit: Do you know anything about molasses or how to finish off the watering stages? Any links to...

I understand what you mean on the waiting, I cut my last batch too early, also didn't dry long enough. I actually kinda made those mistakes on purpose so that I would have a benchmark for the next grow. Patience is a virtue, with those 2 popsickle sticks of my last grow it wasn't much to worry...

This is mostly normal during flowering, but be careful of nutrient burn. Bottom fan leaves and stuff not getting much light will be abandoned and fall off but it should hardly be noticeable compared to the remaining heft of the plant. I would say less nutrients. If you used MG soil, technically...

The very first signs of that rusty red on the pistils? came today, have to look hard to see them. Plants have just started the maturation process... so cool to see that all 4 of them showed at once - means I've been consistent so far. Potentially less than 2-2.5 weeks left till cut, 4-5 weeks...

Looks really cool, maybe next time I am at the store I will get some herbs to toss into solo cups, can't hurt! I always loved fresh mint, when I was young we used to smoke mint leaves out of dried out hollow honeysuckle tubes. That probably just sucked in retrospect, but it might be nice to...

Wow, it's been awhile! Life has been very sad and very crazy lately. Here's an update with some pics for ya... got 3-6 weeks to go, T44 is supposedly done real fast which might make it the end of the month! pic 1: all 4 plants, the two hempy clones on the left pic 2: cola of one of the clones...

That was just the all of the leaves from the males, maybe 3-4 oz of leaves? The butter I made has water at the bottom, greenness untold...I don't know if I should heat it more or just cut the good off the top.

Ah, the first harvest! Ganna make butter, off to get a cheesecloth. Any major chain hardware store has the reflectors, usually with the 'work lighting'. I purchased them separately from the bulbs which I just get in packs. EDIT: wow, cooking it, just plain WREAKS of LAND O LAKES. I used sweet...

Not disputing that at all, thanks for the advice... I think I'm going to try it, just need a cheesecloth. How much butter per weight of leaves?

I have read in many places that THC is a part of the plant, it is basically plant sunblock. Both males and females have it in them, it's just only the females that produce large flowers that drip with it. Also, pot has been bred over and over and over again for the FEMALES to have potent THC...

Here's an updated pic of the grow. We are now a 'one sided' operation, 12x23w CFL's 6 blue 6 red and we are on 12 on/12 off. 2 hempy clones from the 2 confirmed female moms a happy grower makes! Thanks for lookin out Obi, appreciate all the feedback here. When I get a bit I am going to...

Is there a less smelly way than butter? I am concerned about the smell as I have close neighbors and I have heard that you can smell it a block away. Here's my grow, 12x23w CFL's... 6 white 6 red.
