A buddy of mine came over and brought his scale with him so I was able to get some weights, I'm not too disappointed in the results since this is my first grow.
Poison: 35.8g
Kryptonite: 24.1g
Romulan: 34.6g
Hog: 33.8g
128g / 4.5oz
They all seemed to yield about the same other than Kryptonite. Keep in mind these numbers are just the primo nugs that I would sell. Shake wasn't included, and I took many samples throughout the grow since I was out of weed the whole time. I figure 4 plants is roughly 1/3 of my usable space. At my current rate I'm at .378 g/w and I think I can do better with the next set of plants. The are topped and trained much better than the first sets.
Little poison nug for viewing pleasure.

I am jealous right now.
I still have at least 10 days left on even the earlier harvesting plants. Probably up to 3 weeks before I could touch some of the others.
I'm so dry right now that I'm opening up the old bags of trim I have around to fish out one flower at a time.
I'm actually surprised you didn't harvest heavier. Some of those flowers looked quite large, but then again you didn't weigh all of it, so I'm sure the popcorn would add a few grams to the total.
Have you any extraction stuff?
I've been thinking about picking up some bubble bags but it just looks like so much damn work. All that ice, all that mixing/blending, then all the lifting each bag while it drains out slowly...
I'm sure the bubble is worth it... but still... I'm 2Lazy (previous Grasscity screen name)
Instead of the bags I am now thinking about getting a pollen extractor. Basically just a manual crank drum and a 220micron screen to filter out the bigger stuff. They are less efficient but easy to use, and the result is kief.
Then I can take the kief and use a pollen press to turn it into hash.
I like to make a few cups of cooking oil to use in my everyday cooking. Sometimes I use a box of chocolate cake mix, two eggs, and about 1/3 a cup of oil and make some really fantastic chocolate weed cookies. I love them because I keep thinking I'm going to bite into a chocolate chip but it never happens instead they are just smooth and soft and chocolatey. Boxes of cake are like $1... so cheap to make too.
Anyway.
So what about you? What is the plan for that trim?

Just jarred up Panchota, naming probably happens in a few weeks. Filled 2 jars to the brim so I'm thinking 3oz or so on that lady, just primo nuggage though, I kept the shake and popcorn bs. 7.5oz total on the first 5 harvested plants.
Finished up my painting with the veg area today, I also installed a couple 85w 6500k compact floros to the veg area. Veg area is at about 225w now and I've been running 18/6 for electricity reasons. Culled a few of the weak veggers (down to 3 WW now) and upotted the WW seedlings. Picked up some Dyna-Gro Pro-Tekt, seems to be the best bang for the buck and the application rate is very low. Dosed the plants with 2mL as per back of the bottle but I see that Snow uses it a 1mL throughout the grow, so I'll mimic his success and use it at his rate from now on.
As far as trim, I'm really not sure yet. I don't have the money for the bubble bags at the moment but that's ideally what I want to do with the trim. I may roll up half of it into weedarettes (I have a really nice cigarette rolling machine) and use the other half to make butter. If I did have a set of bubble bags I'd use those and then take the used material from that and make BHO or butter.
I like the idea of a pollen extractor but the same could be accomplished with a larger kief box. Say, dry your trim, kief it then bubble bag it or BHO it. I really enjoy kief but I prefer it in the loose form. Pressed kief loses its value to me, and finer micron bubble hash is superior stuff.
At 220 micron you'll still have quite a bit of plant particulates and whatnot but the smoke will still choke you out. It just wont be that full melt, clear dome, bubbly dreamyness.
Come to think about it, I may just roll up all of the trim tonight as it is dry to make weedarettes and toss it in the cigar humidor.

I run a little more than 1ml to be honest. More like 1.25 to 1.5 by the time I'm done mixing all the solutions.
DynaGro recommends it at 4ml per gallon, which I think is totally fucking ludicrous. Each ml is about 25ppm, and the pH up capabilities of the stuff then requires more pH down solution. 2ml will add another 50ppm, or about .1EC to the solution.
I try to keep my usage minimized. I'm not going for an assload of silica... Just a little bit more.
I would imagine there are times when the plant needs more silica but I haven't done the research on when that might be. I'd imagine you'd need higher levels as the plant is doing its most growing. Probably during the first two weeks of flowering during the stretch is a good time to run the full suggested strength of 3-4ml to build nice strong cells during that period of growth. For the rest of the grow I run it just over 1ml though.
Good pick up. I like the stuff well enough.
You still thinking about using AN Bud Candy sometime soon?

I hope you dont mind if I hijack your thread. You and snowcrash are sharp and I would appreciate your wise advice. Heres a question I posed at newbie centrel, however I have recieved few replys (untill about an hour ago)I am having trouble deciding where to grow.
One big room has a veg closet ready to go. all I need to do is hang black plastic.
Its 3x7x7. By the way, here is a simple way to remember W x H x L which is the way it is always written up
W= women// height= have // length = legs therefore "Women have legs".
Now you will never forget the formula as long as you live
Back to business. Arizona now has a MML. My doc told me he thought I would be a good cantidate for a card. I have three shop lights T8 four foot long for veg.
I have 10x10x10 room with a sliding glass door that faces east and gets lots of sun
I wish to combine that into my grow with whatever light I finally decide to use.
I will be growing for myself
I live in the high desert and was going to put my medicine to sleep from 5 at night and wake it up at 5 in the morning. ( I am a early to bed, early to rise man.)
I have had lots of experiance growing tomatos and such, so I have a few skills.
I cannot think of anything else, however questions and advice are welcome.
Bottom line, what are your thoughts on using the sun to supplement whatever lights I chose?
I should add that I will be growing in soil (foxfarm) and some days I would not have the shades over the slider all the way open. I may concel it some while at work, which is not very often.
But I can move the plants around so they all get some blazing sun

Women have legs! I'll never forget that man, thanks for the tip and grats on your card.
Just a couple thoughts on your room setup. I'm thinking even with shades you're not going to get the complete darkness in the room at 5pm. Using the sun inside of the house as supplemental light wouldn't give you the intensity of light you're looking for. If the room was facing south you'd get a good amount of ambient light throughout the day, but facing east you'll lose the sun at mid-day. I would honestly consider a new room if the sliding glass door is important to you because it would need to be sealed off light-tight.
With the veg area I would go with the white plastic, not the black. If you're talking about the 2 sided panda film plastic, use the white side facing inwards, white reflects light really well. Hell, painting it flat white might be better than the plastic if the walls aren't textured.
What sort of budget are you running with? I made my grow with around $300, I could help you be frugal or as expensive as you want to get.
No worries on the hijacking, I'm bored and want to help and have nothing to report grow wise anyways.

I'd grow in the basement since you have one, it stays pretty cool and temperate down there. Your friend is right, there is a lot of work involved, but if you love what you're doing then the time seems to fly. I don't even consider what I'm doing work at all, it's more like therapy than anything. The only tedious part comes when you're manicuring buds for hours but scissor hash sweet rewards along the way make it worth it.
There's no need to change the light during the season. You'll want 12/12 during flowering and no more than 6 hours of dark when vegging. I'm sure you know about that stuff.

I'm with t0rn on this one. Probably much better off in the basement if growing indoors.
If you'd like to use the sunlight, just grow 'em outside. You could even do both.
At the end of the day you'll need to make the call. We'll help you along the way though. I think if you have the space in the basement, and you are as handy enough to build a house, you should take a look into building partitions in the basement for Veg and Flower rooms.
The Jorge Cervantes Growing DVD set (3-disc) would REALLY help give you the right ideas. You can download the torrent for free online, (www.kickasstorrents.com or www.piratebay.org) and watch all those dvd's before the end of today. He covers damn near everything in the set, including the construction of a 10x10x8 grow space.

Yo, boneheadbob. If you say something, and then a minute later you need to say something else... You treat the place like a chat room.
The Edit Post function located at the bottom of your post (next to "Reply" and "Reply With Quote") will allow you to amend your single post.
I only double-post this time to ensure you see this message. The post, post, post antics flood a thread and make for pages of nonsense other growers like you will need to sift through.
So condense the conversation and help us all out. Thanks!

Thanks snow, I got carried away.
So I will take a closer look at the basement and it would be easy to partition a room there.
Anyway heres where I am right now.
Four endless sky from greenthumb are two inch tall. I just took them out of the hot house (they were hitting the roof) and put them closer to the light (a little bit at a time). They are in foxfarm soil in small 1 x 2 x 1.
I will let them grow there for a week and then transplant them into a 6 x6 x 6 or a 16 oz cup?
I know that no fertilizers are needed but I have read about epsom salts, bone meal, blood meal, B1 and superthrive being used for transplants

You'll have more volume with the 6x6x6 pot, I'd go with that. No nutes are needed as of yet, wait till about the 4th node on the seedling. Your soil should have all the plant needs for almost a month. Heck I wouldn't even fertilize till you see some sort of deficiency. You could allow the plant a couple weeks in the little container, you'll want it pretty hardy when you transplant or you can run into stunting issues. If you're going to use superthrive (has b1 vitamins and hormones) it's some pretty powerful stuff, use it at 1mL per gallon.
Snow's right about the Jorge Cervantes DVDs, there are a few other as well, are you familiar with using torrent sites?
Have some butter boiling right now, I think I'm going to make some chocolate cookies tonight. Snow, you said you used cake mix for the cookies? That's genious! Every weed cookie I get is always rock hard if it isn't fresh. Cake mix makes up in fluffyness what the cookie mix was missing? Gonna make these cookies in an hour or so, some quick feedback would be nice.

I use cooking oil for the cookies. I'm not sure how the butter will turn out... Probably a little crunchier.
I think that I usually wind up using Betty Crocker (could be duncan hines...) regular 'ol chocolate cake mix. Not Devils food, or with fudge. Just plain chocolate cake. Sometimes the boxes will actually have the recipe on the side of it, that's where I got the idea from to begin with.
If you'd like to keep your cookies a little softer mix in a Tbsp of shortening or vegetable oil. Other than that they are super easy. The more you mix them the chewier they get. You'll actually need to do quite a bit of mixing because there isn't much moisture in there to spread around. Winds up looking a bit like warm fudge.
