right im ordering more seed on thursday so as im more into my heady high and not the coughlock type i just chopped the other girl!

total wet weight was 114.3 grams!!! im more than happy with that plus that will easily keep me going to the next harvest.

when thats dried that should be well over an ounce right?


and i had to be quick with the trimming as you can see as the kids were downstairs!!!

ha we'll see fella

I've seen anywhere from 40 - 70% loss of weight quoted, should be about an Oz though I need to get me some digitals and i only got pans at the mo, no idea how i'm going to fit the stalks in etc lol!

From the weight I'm guessing that's ateeny bike?? Or dammmn you got huge buds lol

the tallest plant was only 21 inch tall before chopping, I only vegged them for 3 weeks and 2 days, between nodes was less then an inch so no stretching going on.

Good luck with your grow, have you got a journal? How long did you veg for?

No grow journal unfortunatelly. I was a late riu joiner. I vegged for 5 weeks, school boy error considering I only got a 250w hps. But its my first grow so put it down as a learning curve. I'm a bit worried cos I've completely ran out of verticle space, and I'm worried they might stretch some more! Any way congrats on you success geez and I only hope my buds look as juicy as those bad boys. What's next on your agenda, more aks? I reccommend aurora indica also from nirvana they stay short and are looking fatter than my aks and they've both had exactly the same treatment, worth looking up anyway!!

great harvest man

Another quick question tam jam did you get round to using molasses. If you did what exactly did you use and where did you get it from, I'm in the uk also mate.

think tam was going to use black treacle (not sure if he did in the end though), Del66666 posted this on mine "
molasses can be found at holland and barret health food stores, about 1.65 a jar.........................."

Cheers mogwai5. Have you had any experience with molasses or black treacle if so did you notice much diference?

First grow mate, am using but having nothing to compare to so all i can say is i see no bad side effects from using it.

Fuck it then I'll give it a crack might use it on just half of them and compare this difference. Ill let you know how I got on.

hi guys, my plants only had one feeding with the treacle, but like you said mog this is my first grow so nothing to compare to either. Yeah indogrobro
Do what you said then you can compare them side by side.

And to SICC thanks mate, it could have been a lot better if I left it longer but I'm well happy with what I got, me and the wife only smoke a joint each evening so that should quite last a while.

Buds are now drying in my little drying box I made out of a shoe box with a fan ontop pulling air through. I noticed that loads more hairs have turned brown now.

Stuff this iPod I'm going on the pc!!!!!

i still havnt decided which strain to grow next, there was the nirvana mix but im not sure if having all those different strains on the go my head might get a little confused

i read that the PPP is sativa dominant which i dont think would be good in my box, so im pretty sure its gonna be ak48 again

this time they will be feminised seeds, and with 5 in there if i top all 5 it should be a proper sea of green, but i will only be vegging for 2 weeks next time as i was running out of space before

im also ordering a 250w hps kit for when i get to flowering

hopefully have seeds on friday so i plan on having them in pots by monday and my second grow will begin!!

How big were your pots tamjam mate?

kriss said:

what was ur dry weight???? i think u should grow nirvana's white ryno it has a very high thc%

Click to expand...

hi kriss I don't know my dry weight yet I only chopped them lastnight, even if I lose 70% of the weight it will still be over an ounce which I'm happy with, can't wait to get my next grow going now it will be so much better knowing what I do now plus with a 250w hps.

I have looked at the white rhino I will keep that in mind

cheers

if you are going to top then id suggest brainstorm is pretty good, if you want 1 big fat cola id go with ultra skunk..........

Snow white is another good yielder that stays short and is potent, from nirvana aswell.
