Thanks DD420!! I'll have a smoke report in a couple of days!

After weighing them tonight I think my prior estimate was pretty close. I'll end up with between 1/2 and 3/4.:peace:

We'll start with what I trimmed up the other day.. Do you like the DIY drying rack?:bigjoint:





Next is the old girl at 13 weeks! She is still Getting bigger, maybe another week??





Then on to the 3 girls at just over 8 weeks. All 3 got flushed today. I figure they should be finishing in the next 2 weeks, maybe???

1st the one with the biggest buds!!









Then the only 1 that may not have gone hermie on me. Not 100% sure though...









And last but not least the original kinky girl. Still growing funny at the top.







Any suggestions on when you think these girls will be ready would be appreciated .:bigjoint:

Buy an 1/8 if you have to. It'll make the wait much easier.

Good morning DD420!!! I think I have what I need to make it until whats hanging is dry. Right now I really need to start my renovations and get my next batch going. Or all this will be gone and I'll have to buy more again.:cuss:

How much more time would you give them?

If this is your only growspace you can start some seedlings now and put them under 12/12 for a few weeks until this batch is done. Then just push them back into 18/6 to veg them for however long you see fit.

But as far as buying more... I meant that as a way to facilitate a better cure of what you have drying. At the very minimum, let them cure for a week before you start tearing through it. I regretted it when I did the opposite. I had less than half of my harvest left by the time it started to get good.

That makes alot of sence!! I didn't even consider that at seedling stage they don't need a lot of light. The only problem I can think of would be they might stretch. Here is a sketch of what I plan the room to like once it's complete. https://www.rollitup.org/attachments/harvesting-curing/489420d1248666408-mold-how-bad-basement-model-2-.pdf

I'm hoping to give it a good week. But we'll see, smoke usually doesn't last a real long time around my house.:peace:

The mockup looks pretty good. I think it'll work well for you.

I've been buying my shit for the last 8 months. I have learned how to conserve. It's easy.

Load your bowl and take a rip. Put your bowl out of reach and wait 5 minutes to see how high you get. If it does the trick, you won't even think to hit it again for a few hours. Out of sight, out of mind. Out of reach helps too.

We've been working on our conservation. We're down from 1.5 oz a week!!

That's the trick we use. Pack a bowl and take our time smoking it. It will take almost 2 hours to finish 1 sometimes.:weed:

Thanks for stopping GG13!!

I have some seeds I got from a fellow grower. I'm not sure what he bread together to get it, but he called it "purple jesus". Obviously there is a purple in it. I also have a couple of seeds that are supposed to be white widow. I'll probably wait a few grows before I buy any named stains.

Are the seeds mature yet? I'd say let them go longer and collect them. But you know what kind of schedule you're on. They look sweet man. I bet they smell really strong too. I like the barefeet. Haha

I'm gonna sit in for that purple jesus.

Glad to be invited over :hug:.
If your Purple Jesus goes well, you should invest a few dollars into some feminzed seeds. I think you will do very well, judging by how you did this harvest.

Alot of the seeds are mature. They have even started falling out in a few spots. I will be keeping some of them. Mainly off of the plants that are showing the least hermie traits.

I'll probably start another journal for the purple, but I'll make sure to let you know when I do.:peace:

Thanks for the kind words!!

Once I get everything going good, I do plan to invest in some seeds. I've got a lot to work out yet, I think anyway.:leaf:

Don't be afraid to experiment and have fun. Growing is so cool and relaxing.
I would suggest a 600hps and the T5s you have already right..

I do plan on trying different things once things in the room are together. I really need to find out why every plant went hermie. I doubt they were all genetically that way. I have stressed them out in so many ways that I need to narrow it down. I think I've got all the light leaks. The RH is way to high with lights off and temps to high with lights on. Then there is the soils and over fertilizing I did. Do you have any recommendations for a simple grow medium? I'd like to use Fox Farm but don't like paying $20+ a bag.

The lights aren't T5's. Most of them are regular 40w shop lights. The others are grow lights but would be better for flower, since they are 2700k. The plants did do great under these lights for veg. I'll probably use them until I can afford something better.:peace:
