Do as you please.. You've apparently done a decent job dragging it along.. I had no idea that was the condition.. It was lost a long time ago, in a way..
I gotta admit, I peruse the pics I think are important from your descriptions/thumbs.. Alot of stuff like that might get by me, I've been looking more closely at the close-ups because first time growers always want to harvest too soon, and I wanted to be informed on that.. But when I knew you'd grabbed the gist of the maintenance knowing you had some cold probs, I glossed over most unless you were complaining..
For instance I looked closely for spider mites as soon as you mentioned unknown hairs, but saw no evidence and felt the pics would have shown that.. Then again, I still don't know what you meant.. I really hope you don't have spider-mites..
If you do though, I know a few ppl who have had great success giving the plant a SHORT term dosage of cold Canadian winter air..

That makes sense, i really need to get it out the way for the plants i payed for, these are just bagseed, so it is no big loss, ya' know.
It's a big ugly plant taking up lots of room, and if it will be okay to harvest, i'd rather just get it out of the way. I haven't seen any mites, any hair on the buds is more than likely cat hair, goota work on filters for where the air comes into the room. No cats get in the room, but the hair blows in with the wind, and i had to pull lots off the plants that are hanging as they dry, and while i trimmed them up.
Thanks born, your help has been greatly appreciated and i understand not being able to look at all the pics i post.......there is alot of them.LOL!:hump:

lil update on #5 she got her head cut off last night, but didn't have time to do the rest, so she went back in for a night. I'll do her up proper tonight.

The rest looks like some primo stuff and smells like it too, but the manicuring could be better. But not too bad for a newbie. I'll get some shots of them and a good smoke report maybe tonight.
Thanks guys!

I swear to the holy ganja mother herself beech.....no testers yet, except for the popcorn nuggs that were clipped off in week 6 or 7;-), but nothing since the chop happened.
I'll be getting down tonight though now that i know i'm allowed to, got 5 fresh glass pieces to try each plant in a different piece.
That way i get the full taste, smell, and high only from that. Not some resin from some middies i bought a month ago..LOL!!!:joint:

I probably sampled about an ounce off my first crop starting at day 38 iirc.. Ghetto style quick drying chopped under a halogen..:( In a way I'm glad I did because it compelled me to wait long enough to harvest the bulk.. (The bulk on my first grow was 39oz in 28sqft under 1200W..) Or shit, maybe that harvest wasn't my first, I don't even remember.. I do remember that when I knew my system I was pulling at least 50g/sqft..

That would have been hydro.. Drip system in 5" (or were they 8"? The smaller cheapo plastic pots.. 19cents at walmart) hydroton clay pellets.. Using DNF (Dutch Nutrient Formula) nutes alone in the beginning.. Roughly 1plant/sqft.. I think I started with 30, and ditched 2..
Don't forget though I was a science student who spent every minute I could primping things.. I lived with my grow.. I slept on the couch, the plants had the bedroom..:)
I ran 3 400W.. The table was roughly 4x7 (a little longer/skinnier really).. Lightly scrogged.. I just made a string grid I could use to train, but I wasn't up on the advanced scroging..
That strain was NL5, so it was a yielding fiend.. My first crop I vegged a bit too long so it was a jungle, but it did add up..
My god the work though!! I spent hours each day positioning braches.. And the realizations of stupidity.. I remember laying under my table, bench pressing it while my buddy/assistant (THE ONLY PERSON WHO KNEW ANYTHING) sawed the table legs to claim some height.. That took about a half hour to do safely, I think my arms still hurt from that..:)
With that nute mix I was around 1050ppm according to american EC/ppm determination conventions.. pH stable at 5.5.. No carb/suppliment loading at all..
End result was alot of ok weed.. The grows I'm proud of weren't as big.. After I finished my green scholarship I focused on soil 'with' organics.. I have no problem with salts if used properly.. The organic aspect just ensures EVERYTHING they might want is in there somewhere..

Edit: And an ounce of that crop was giant, yet still had decent bag appeal.. If I was a scurve I could have probably gotten 50oz by bagging without drying/curing fully.. But I'm not a scurve.. I gave ppl properly dry weed without tree-trunks..

Thanks Born,yea i have done some crazy chit also over the yrs,but im damn near 50 now and have really toned things down the last 5 yrs.I could never get my hydro to taste as good as my soil grows,did you find the same when you went to organics?Im using a soil now called Sunshine Pro its from Canada and a bag as big as the MG large size you can pick up with one hand,the makeup is 0.1 0.1 0.1 with alot of the minor trace elements and mostly Spagnum peat moss i think, do you consider that to be a organic soil with that little of the majors?I wish i had the book knowlege are the Science like you have it woulda help me alot back in day.Now im waiting to have surgery on my neck next month and have been confined to growing in little pots and little plants,because of the fear of hurting my damn neck!I only use Fish emulsion and Gravity and Molassas now,they do ok with that is there something im missing that might help with yield?Im getting right at a oz per plant,and have a little over 40wpsqft with a 400mh and 400hpseye bulb,i have sold almost all my hydroponic stuff and my 2 600s.I only vegg till the 5th are 6th node then induce flower,ty Born.LMF you never came back AGAIN,hope your OK?BEECH

LOL.....sorry beech you told me to test.......and i got so high for two days and couldn't get on here!:hump:


Cryptonite:
Taste- still a little harsh, but a lite pine taste.
Odor- not yet to the odor during grow, but a sweet fruity smell.
High- energetic heady high.--one hit gave a head change, two hits put down for a minute, then wanted to run a marathon!!:clap:
Gave samples to 6 people, of crypto and they all gave it an A+ but agreed the taste was a little harsh yet.

#6:
Taste- much more smooth pine, like a tingly feeling on the tongue.
Odor- not much of one at all, but a hint of sweetness in the jar.
High- not as good as Crypto., but still a two hitter quitter for me and all 6 people that tried it.
Same 6 people tested #6 for me the next day, and gave it an A+ also. High not as great as the crypto. but taste was right on!

Not too bad for my first harvest.....here is some pics of them going into jars, and #5(the ugly girl) hanging up drying!
Looks like brown shwag, but hey it's ok!!!:hump:

Gravity is making Lucy push out everything shes got, she just keeps swelling and stacking up with new white hairs on top. Thanks Beech!

I'll have some update pics on her and the rest this week so keep an eye out!

What are you gonna due now as far as a journel?Wheres the PPP?and the WW.
Click to expand...
Woah....slow down beech!LOL
I still got Lucy, Crypto's clone, and two more bagseeds to chop down. Hopefully all those withing the next two weeks.
The PPP and WW mommas are in flower now, and got some clones of each going now. 4 WW in vegg, and 12 PPP still in the dome. 1 of each will be moved as a new mother and will be my moms for awhile. The rest go straight to flower after they get a little bigger, about 7 inches.
Once the above plants are out, except the PPP and WW moma, i'll be doing the 12 PPP.

Lucy is at the end of her last kick she went through. The bright white hairs she spit out last week are now browning out, and she is losing her bright green color. Gave her what should be her final drink yesterday of just plain water. She's had one dose of the G a week ago, and two doses of M water the last two weeks. She is so swelled up she looks like she is gonna pop!:o

Hope to get some pics up tonight or tommorow, but been hectic here lately.

Now for the two that i haven't showed much of...:clap:
Out of sight, out of mind theory was right!!
I left these two alone for the most part, just bent them a little way back when in vegg., and gave waterings on schedule with the rest.
Very impressed with it. and proves that they will grow by themselves and without chopping at it(BECCH), or drowning it every day!LOL!!!!!:-P

Anyhoo-here they are:
Pics 1-5 are of MAF#1(bagseed)in the 8th week of flower, but need more time.

Pics. 6-10 are MAF#2(bagseed, also in the 8th week of flower, but needs more time.
