what was your total weight versus how much light you were using ?


I tried using these for clones. It seemed like they would work with the math made available to you by the companies that make these systems, but they stretched too much under them.
I would use led's if they had the penetration of HID's.

idk yet, my friends say i will get 2 ounces per plant, the topped one only about a half oz-1oz...

stretching wasnt an issue with these lights, if your interested in them check them out at progrowlights.com and these use 6 watt bulbs, the penetration is there...

I just can't understand how the topping shaved off so much? At what point in their growth did you top them?

I think the topped is also the sick one, which could explain the reduced yield.

true i topped in week 4 of veg... a few days before flower started... and its the sick one....

postin pics tomorrow,the trichomes were 100% cloudy today on 2 of the plants...i think its getting close to time, waiting for a few amber ones...

had to chop one down early due to my veg cab filling up.....i chopped the sick one....

here it is it came out 31grams dry...

i made a mistake and left some leaves on it when it dried, i will post some bud porn later with the leaves all flaked off...

i live in very dry weather and it was bone dry after 3 days

the others....trichomes are cloudy 75%, have only seen a few amber ones...hopefully they will be done soon.

What you do is upload your pictures via your "manage attachments" button. You can't do it in quick reply, you have to go advanced. Once you upload your pictures, instead of hitting done you'll hit "insert inline". Then if you scroll up back to your post you can hover your mouse over the image. Click the little pencil that appears in the picture when you hover over it, that will open a window to where you can pick your picture size. I use medium for my threads, I find the size is perfect plus you can still click to make it larger. Hope that helps.

Hey man look into raising the humidity of your dry-room or area. Any pharmacy should have a humidifier for around $20-$30 and you can use a bathroom or somewhere to keep it somewhat enclosed. Even a bucket with water in it in the area can help to raise humidity levels if there's not too much air exchange. Just keep air moving around (always a good idea regardless of humidity) especially if you're raising the humidity like that to 60-80%. Bone dry atmosphere quick-drying gives a very harsh and green taste to the buds I made that mistake once with some fresh cuttings a friend gave me.

so as seen above the first crop was bone dry, i think it dried too fast. BUT it smoked bomb anyways, a little harsh but got me ripped and i got an ounce off of that sick plant.

i just cut down the big plant a few days ago,



i let it dry for 3 days upside down with a fan on it, it was 90 percent dry, i then put it in the glass bake pan covered it over night and this morning it was pretty damp, is this ok?

i left the top open and blew a fan on it for a few hours and now it is dry again...i have the top on and plan on letting fresh air in a few times a day for a few days. am i doing it right? i smoked some this morning and got rippped

by the way, after i opened the top and fanned it for a few hours, it weighed in at a 61 grams! when i broke up a nugg for a blunt it was dry, little gooey in the middle but not damp...

View attachment 1334086 this is the pan it is in, but NOW it has twice as much bud in it as in this pic. NOW the bake pan is FULL, i will attach pics soon my camera is at work until tomorrow.
