Yeah, he did a hell of a job. I like the fox farm nutes and im sure next time since I now know about needing calmag, the next grow will be spectacular.

You've got the idea. YOu know what you need next time for your setup and you are good to go. I have add Cal Mag to mine or I get the same problem, as a matter of fact if you followed my FI thread you'll see that I ran into the same problem. Now all is well and I have a bottle fo Cal-Mag Plus chillin' on my shelf.

If I can do this well this time, just imagine what I can do next time! I am so psyched.

Wow, I wrote that previous post before I smoked and right after I woke up. It's barely coherent! I'm glad I smoke a little bowl before heading to work.

Your crops will definitely get better over time and as you run into problems and solve them your repetoir only gets larger and you learn to identify problems really early and keep them from manifesting into something very serious. You can minimize the effects that small problems have on your overall yield and quality.

Ok guys,

great news.

I took a trim sample of each plant and here are the results.

Plant A has 50% amber trichs under the microscope.

Plant B has 40% amber and 60% cloudy

Plant C has 25-30% amber and the rest are a mix of cloudy and clear.

With that in mind I am going to begin flushing.

I figure within the next week or so of plain water the trichs will turn a good bit. Giving me some energetic buds and some couch lock buds.

Tonight I am going to clean the res and fill with RO water and some flora kleen. Then tomorrow between work shifts I am going to empty the res and replace with just plain RO water. And just use that until they are done. If the ppm of the water keeps going up, Ill replace the water again.

Here we go guys, the home stretch.

Just read through and I wanted to give you some congrats. Also thanks to laser for some good help along the way eh?
Click to expand...

Thanks for the congrats! I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I couldn't have pulled off this caliber of grow my first time without some intense mentoring from laserbrn. He really made this a lot easier for me, and not to forget BobSmith, and smokingrubber too (dandelion pollen argument not withstanding.)

It's been a great ride and It's about to get a hell of a lot better. Next up is Blue Cheese and LA confidential.

Stay tuned for flush, harvest, dry, cure and smoke report, and final weight.

The dandelion thing was an honest mistake LOL. I don't know about you, but I've learned A LOT since then.

What's up with your next grow? Are you starting from seed? Do you have them inhand yet? When will you germ them? Any changes to the room in-between grows?

Yeah, we've both learned a lot. I was just kidding anyway. The seeds are in hand and have popped out of the cubes. I will be getting a cool tube reflector, a 3x3 ebb and flow table, a light weight carbon filter, and a couple more upgrades. Ill post more later.

Very nice. I don't know why the cool tube reflector though. Do you mean an air cooled hood or an acutal cool tube? The efficiency on those cooltubes is aweful. And in this size tent my only regret right now is that I didn't get a larger reflector for my 600w.

I'm glad the dandelion thing came up again, but in all honesty I followed his thread and I think he's learned a lot and done a lot of reading in the past 3 months while this has been going on. I on the other hand apparently haven't been doing enough "helping the new guys" in the newbie section and help sections because I haven't come across a differnet quote to replace yours with and 3 months has to be damn near a record. People say stupid shit on here all day long.

42 pages of reading, but helpful reading nonetheless, I'm about 10 days into my first grow and hope to get as much help, and have as much success as you have anon!!

Going to sub for the final weight and smoke tests :bigjoint:

Way to be lazer, bob, and smoking! You guys keep the community alive!

Well, I have the hydrofarm radiant 8 hood. That thing is effing heavy. I at least need to get a daystar instead. I need something that spreads the light instead of making in a footprint. Because next time the tent will be FULL. But yea, I was thinking a cool tube is light weight and would spread the light. Anyway, We'll see what happens.

I like the Sun System Hoods because of the hinged glass. Very handy imo. I had a couple spreckles of insulation that got sucked through the ducting during the last remodel. Today, it was nothing to unscrew the frame and drop the glass real quick. I cleaned both hoods in less than a minute.

Considering I'm going to be swapping the MH and the HPS bulbs every couple months, it'll get some use.

K guys,

Had to chop a bit early, but the great thing is, i did the taste test on the leaves, and tasted like clean water.

My grandmother is in desperate need of medicine because she gets sick on her pain killers. She has agreed to try cannabis, so to speed up the process, the plants had to go today. But they look wonderful and will be some amazing smoke. Will post pics shortly.

I understand the need for meds, but that was a huge mistake. Aren't you at like 7.5 weeks? Oh man...you gave up MAJOR weight by cutting early and this bud is so freakin' "racey" already I don't even want to imagine how bad someone who doesn't smoke is going to freak out if they smoke some that was chopped early. You definitely wanted a more narcotic effect and a less of head rush, but to each their own. Glad your crop came out good and the plants made it to the end. Now you have room for the next one. Get it started quick, it's going to take longer than you want it to. And try not to somke up all of your shit before it's dried and cured properly. It gets better and better with time.

Yeah u shoulda waited. Hope you're happy with it though, time to fire up the next one! Patience is a virtue when it comes to curing too. It really does get MUCH better and lasts much longer if you properly cure it. Dry it, trim it up and take some photos.

turns out I had major root rot going on. So in a way Im kinda glad they came down before something like that brought them down. Im checking the trichs, and there is a lot of amber action going on, so I am thinking it may be pretty stony. I am proud anyway for this being my first time out in a long time. Ill keep you posted and ill post pics tonight.
