My First Grow! DIY DWC & Grow Area, SNOW WHITE FEM FROM SEED!

So what is the general rule of thumb for this? Dry for 3-5 days until its a tiny bit crunchy and then cure from a week to a month?

DING DING DING!

YOu won the prize! LOL

thats it bro.

Haha, purp and shack, you guys are the shit. I really appreciate that you have stuck through this with me and helped me the whole way. The dryer is drying those babies up nicely and the rest are still plumping up just fine. I did notice that on many of the branches that still have vertical growth that can be filled above the current bud area and the trichomes are already milky. Should I wait for that vertical room to fill in with bud or should I harvest it? The bud that is below the additional vertical growth has receded hairs and milky trichs.

Patience is a virtue, so I'm going to slowly be impatient and take a little bit at a time. haha

Oh and one thing, it's about the smell. The plants as a whole, like the room, smells fantastic, but the bud itself doesn't smell good at all. I have smelled certain med strains, and I've smelled plenty of weed, and I have never smelled anything close to this. It's not a bad smell, but it's not particularly pleasant either. Does the smell end up becoming more "weed" like after curing?

Well my dryer is a pimp, and that is all there is to it. I let the first bud I harvested dry for 3 days and I think it was a bit too crispy, so I am going to go with 2 from now on (of course outliers may occur). I have that first little like 1/8th o harvest curing now in some Ball canning jars I got. I decided that stoners, grandmas, and shroomers are keeping ball canning alive, and that's good. haha. I also found that there was a pretty hefty branch that had the cloudiest trichomes that I had ever seen and fully receded hairs. I went ahead and chopped that and manicured it and chucked it in the dryer. The rest is still coming along nicely. I still have a lot of open vertical growth on the few branches that decided to grow on me again, so it may still be some time. I just wanted to make sure that I had something ready for my trip

I will most likely be chopping the rest right around christmas time regardless of how they look at that point. This is because I will be gone for a week in early January and need to have it chopped, manicured, and dried before I leave. One of my house-mates can definitely deal with opening a few canning jars once a day, but they have made it clear to me that they would rather not have to have responsibility with the plants meaning monitoring levels etc, which is completely understandable.

I honestly think that by Christmas they will be looking really good and be ready to roll anyway. They are already frosting up a whole lot and plumping nicely.

Guys, this bud is fucking monster. It's a one hit and done delicious lemony treat. I couldn't have asked for it any other way.

Nice to hear that it is all been worth while, with that HD camera you use i can just about smell it if i get close enough to the screen.

haha thanks Craig it's great to hear from you. Yea I honestly have really impressed myself and I'm very proud as well as pleased. Sure I screwed up my clones and wasted the 50$ I spent on those Snow White seeds, but it's all a learning experience. This bagseed has done great things and like I said before, the bit that I have smoked of it has gotten me the best sativa head high that I have ever had. I have a friend that is rich as hell and he chills on med strains every day of the week. I have smoked well over my fair share of strains and none have had this strong of a head high. I am shocked at the quality of this bud and now am incredibly curious how much a good strain matters. As my conditions are now, lights and all, I am re-creating nature the best I can. THis combined with shitty seeds gave me great bud. I'm curious of how much a strong hearty strain combined with these conditions will make a difference. I'm going to be looking to order a multi-pack of nice strains this January to start all over with.

I have harvested about 8g so far and everything is perfect. My dryer speed dries even thick dank buds to the core in under 3 days, it's amazing. I also bought Ball canning jars, sadly you can't buy them in less than 12s. I decided that Grandmas, Stoners, and Shroomers are the only reason Ball is still alive. Three groups of people doing what they love that needs Ball canning jars haha.


Alright I'm procrastinating studying for my last final of the semester I will talk to you gentleman later. THe girls look amazing. There are a lot of buds that are ready to go now, but I can't get to them. Also, a lot of the vertical growth seems to not be filling in with bud. I can't decide what to do. I was thinking maybe to chuck some more FLower nutes in there and hope to get a last minute boost out of them. The issue is that there are huge lower buds about 1.5" diameter and about 2" or 2.5" tall that are cloudy and have rededed hairs, but up top they sprouted another 2" of stem where buds are very very very slowly forming. I don't want to waste the perfect bud underneath waiting for the top bud. I'll give it probably about another week, but I'm not going to risk perfect bud to maybe get some more, you know?


What do you guys think?

Lookin lovely sculli! Can't spread rep here either it seems lol

Thanks for checking back man. Yea it seems you need to spread rep to way more people than I originally had thought

hey just found this thread good job man looking nice! On my first grow as well, have a sw flowering for about a month. Anyways, I want to build my own bubbleponics system for my next grow.. how much did everything end up costing you for the materials?

Thanks for checking it out man! GOd don't make me think of the number haha. Honestly, the bubbleponics system is pretty cheap to build, I just messed up so much that I spent a shit ton of money in doing so.

I would say about 8$ for the 18g tub, 25$ for a water pump online, 25$ for a good air pump, $7 for a good airstone, and then you have netpots, airlines, etc.

let's see some pics!


Shack

Shack, so stoneeeddddddddd. Fine, I'll go get my camera. I harvested more today. One of the buds is bigger than my iPod...... hahaha

Jesus, sorry guys I got way too baked these first 2 days of my winter break haha. Here are some pictures from a bit ago. They are some good bud shots, some harvest shots and all that good stuff. In harvesting a little at a time like this I have definitely put my plant under stress and now won't see any more growth or completion for another 2 weeks or more. Luckily almost all of the bud is looking perfect and ready to go so today I chopped about half and tomorrow I will finish the job. I will get a final weight for you all as soon as I can and get some mason jar shots for you.


Thanks again for all of your help guys, but it seems that this journey is almost at an end. My only question now is what is the easiest and best way to make hash? haha

Pictures are uploading now gentleman.

Here you go, they are in no particular order.














I'll get some final harvest pics up later this week.

Sorry some of the pictures suck guys, camera must have been acting up. This is seriously some of the best weed that I have ever smoked and any of my friends. None of them know it's mine, but they all say it's the best bud they have ever had haha. I did some research and I think that it may be a red-headed step child of a power or sour diesel. The lemony taste and bud structure I found made it look like that a bit.

looks like she is trying re-veg. do you have any light leaks? all in all, looks like a damn good harvest.
chop that bitch soon!!


Shack

Shack, Nope, no light leaks at all. The problem is definitely that of stress I think. I chopped too much too early throwing it into shock and wanting to reveg those chopped branches. I chopped half today and I'll do the rest tomorrow. I am thinking maybe like 1.5 oz dried, which is less than I was expecting, but not terrible surely. Hopefully that is a low ball number and I will be pleasantly surprised =]


Also think I'm going to be using the blender method to make me some hash within the next week, I'll keep you guys posted on how that all goes.

Lookin DANK brother!
good job...in the fifth pic,right corner,looks like a male pollen sack..tell me what that is cause u deff. dont want no seeds in ur shit.
