Man it Fuckin figures that my laptop is fucked right now. Check it-- I checked my trichs about 3 hours ago man. All the plants have all milky trichs, with the rogue Amber bulb goin on. Except my girl whiteberry. Last time I checked her leaves (the ones embedded in the buds) she was about 20% Amber. When I checked her today, I'd say about 70-80% amber trichs man. I couldn't stand it no more, n I didn't want her to go Amber any further, so I did the only logical thing man LOL. I chopped off all of her donkey dicks n left the majority of her smaller buds on the plant, in hopes that they'll fatten n dense up a bit before I finish the job. I took a few pics don't worry :D but man trimmin those fat Fuckin nugs up was probably one of the most satisfying self gratifying feelings of my life man LOL. It was honestly Fuckin awesome. 122.4 grams wet, so 75% ofmy first plant will dry to just over an ounce. With the rest of the plant done I'll estimate 1 3/4 Oz's dry total weight. I can't believe she blew her wad THIS early man, but I'm also happy as he'll knowing that I did it right, I flushed, I didn't chop early, n she's Fuckin beautiful.

Thebuds are hang drying right now in my bud box, n after 3-4. Days it's to a paper bag for 2 days, and off to cure. Sooooo Fuckin happy with the way she turned out. The berry really shines through man, I hope she doesn't lose that scent after dryings done :D

I'll get onto a of soon n post up some porn for sure.

Thanks for all your help everyone!!!

---n weedman, don't be mad homie, she was just an early finisher :D

I'll probably be able to load some onto Riu today man. It was only a total of 8 buds- 5 big colas n 3 of the biggest little nuts I could find . Hopefully takin off all the big shit will make the rest of those little popcorn buds grow out. They been hiding under a thick ass canopy for a long time man, hopefully all the exposure they're getting now is gonna do a world of good. I'll watch them over the next couple days to make sure they don't get beyond ripe :D

Weedman, when you check trichs, do you usually take a leaf from the bud (one of the tiny sugar coated ones comin right outta the bud itself) or do u clip off some bud to look at under your scope?

Very sweet King, congrats! Glad to here she put out so well. I can't wait for that day to come again. You makin hash with the trim, or cookin? So how long did you end up flushing for, I forget when you started? I've got 2 seeds in started plugs as of today. Still waiting on the rest to crack.

--Man this shit is happening lightning fast. Twilight was ready today so I did the dirty deed. Wet weight of the two main colas was like 111 grams or somethin like that, plus almost double the Amount of smaller nugs that I didn't weigh(stupid)--I'll end up with over 2 oz from this one too. I still got the biggest 3 to chop next week, so hopefully if this shit goes right, I could have close to 12-13oz from just the 5 ladies. I still got the widows goin n by lookin at the way the flowers are starting to form, I think my net yield will be close to an lb. Man that shit would make my day, seriously. :D

I took pics of the twilight buds harvested, along with some shots of everything in my bud dryer, which I'm prYing works well, lol -- it's full to the brim with bud n all it is, is a 80cfm fan on one end sucking air out, and a bunch of holes (3/4 inch drill bit) on the other side. So hopefully there's enough air flowing around to evenly dry everything out. Hope I didn't make that shit wrong, lol- instead of the racks I ran 6 lines to hang the buds from. I'll show u guys what I mean when I post pics.I'll still try to get them on here tonight but bare with me if I don't end up doin pics tip tomorrow

Awesome thread guys. Have a 2ft x 3ft for space with very little ventilation. Wouldn't mind having maybe 3 plants. Would love the 600 watters, but scared of too much heat. You think I can get away with 250mh and 250hps. If so how much could I harvest of let's say a medium flower producing strain. I have'nt heard anyone talk about a 250.

Damn WM I gotta admit that your nugs look way way dankier than mine. The only reason I think that my TL n WB finished up so quick is cuz they're both 7 wk strains n I planted them into the dirt on the same day. All the others (blue cheeses n Northern soul) have a week (ns) or even possibly two weeks (bc) until they're finished completely. Another reason why I chopped Dow twilight today was because she was starting to look kinda unhealthy from all that light. I took the main colas off so nothing else got burnt budwise, n then when I did that I said fuckit n just did in the rest.

Do u go by what the leaves look like under the scope or do u clip a bud every time u check the trichs? Everyone always told me the leaves are the best indicator for when to chop, but when I check the buds after I cut, the trichs were all milky for the most part. So I payed it no attention really, cuz everyone keeps satin to check the leaves. Your plants definitely have "the look" dude. They look beautiful, n honestly I can't see how they're not done yet. What is it now? U in week 9? Either way man, it's any day now bro. Hang on in there n it'll definitely pay off :D

--smoker--ive seen some really nice 2-3 plant grow journals pulled off with a 250. You can definitely get some good results. But no matter what light u use, ventilation us key, so your gonna wanna take care of your vent problem before upgrading to HID. N sorry, but yield estimates are impossible, especially if you don't know what strain to grow yet. BUT I will say that it's not impossiblecto think that with the space u have you could expect anywhere from 1/2 - 1oz per plant if taken care of properly n given optimal conditions to grow in. Maybe even more :D

rose temps are for sure what's slowing things down man. U should get a space heater in your grow to warm shut up about ten degrees. Lights off u shouldn't go below 65 n lights on u should be between 70 n 80 . With temps around 50 at night it's slowing down bud growth n resin production. it'll still finish don't get me wrong, but your temps are definitely your problem bro. No matter what you decide to do, they should still finish up any day now man :D

temps are about the same ... little lower in the veg room actaully .
cloner is very slow now, but all my other plants in there are goin great !
people say its good to have a 10 degree drop in temps lights off.
i guess its time i bought something new for my room ... ill see what kinda of small space heater i can pick up at walmart, really dont like the idea of leaving one on unattended but im sure it will be fine. im gonna have to adjust it every morning and nite tho so i still get that drop in temps with lights off ....
last nite i also disconnected the duct from my 400w to see how that would heat things up ... ill check at lights on tonight to see what the MAX temp was

i just checked out your thread and i couldn't tell which plant was growing under mh or cfl. truth is already bought the 250 and having buyer's remorse. Are you using only CFL now?

cfl for veg room , hps for flower room
how many plants do you plan on flowering ?

maybe 4 or 5. I would like to get maybe 4 oz from the whole batch. This is my first time. don't know what to expect. Having a rough start. All my babies are about 18 days old and still under 2" tall. Using MG Soil for two plants, and aeorgarden for the rest.
