**UPDATE**
very exciting...
pics of my veggies, tallest one is growing like a mutated freak cuz i topped it so much LoL tonsss of budsites, hopefully its female
plucked all the smaller nugs last night and threw them in the jar, just now (next morning) plucked the remaining of the hanging buds and threw in jar.
they are fluffy as fuck and seemed to be drying quickly, stems still bendable, lil moist on inside of nugs, but light crisp feeling on outside of them.
i will continue to rotate the jar and open it roughly 6x-7x a day for the next few days, then i believe it will be ready for smoking.
I tasted it also and it gives me such a cerebral high, extreme mindfuck, its powerful. And it still being wet, not all the psychoactive drugs are active yet, i can wait for the cured buds
Also smells kinda like a skunky LEMON. The jar gets more smelly everytime i open it
it looks to me like itll be a half oz dry, wadya guyz think??
What should i name this beauty?

thanks brother, it has been fun, and i certainly learned alot..
These are the items i would like to purchase for my next grow:
1.) 600w HPS full kit ($250 from my friend)
2.) Panda lining ($10 + shipping - - - > http://cheaphydroponics.com/store/imported-products/sunleaves-b-w-poly-10-39-x10-39-/prod_551.html)
3.) PPM/pH/EC meter (not sure where i will buy this, they are all fucking expensive as shit)
which total runs near $400-500. All of which i think i can make off of this harvest alone

Hey motif how did the Brownies turn out? We're planning to use the trimmings to make hash and the fan leaves to make oil (Least that's what Roseman does...). Three plants worth of trimmings should be a good amount.

they were really weak. I think for two reasons..
1.) Our method was ghetto as fuck. We just put the trimmings (cut real fine) in a bowl with a stick of butter and microwaved till it melted, then just cooked it with the cookies.
2.) Needed at least double if not triple, the amount that we used.
I was just really craving brownies and cookies and just wanted an excuse to make some

Buds look awesome! Nice work, i think it's safe to say all your hard work paid off...heres some pics i found/just took, with gf's digicam
I'll be starting my first DWC as soon as I get my seeds in the mail (12xHindu Kush from dr.chronic), i'll be using a set-up similar to yours.. 6 site rubbermaid tote 2x 30gal airpumps, 2x 6in bubbledisc, 400watt sun system 2 HPS, and a 5gal bucket with 20gal air pump and 3in airstone for a good mother.... and as for nutes I'm keeping it simple with fox farms grow big and big bloom hydroponic nutes.... have everything I need except the seeds
Learned some stuff about DWC from your journal and i'm super stoked to get this grow up and running

mm sounds like a nice set up, where did you get your hps?

A very nice hydro shop here called Organically Grown.. 400 watt HPS for $189.. only problem is its an enclosed ballast so it's going to get hot, but it has a 4 inch vent hookup so I can vent directly from the lamp.

what are some good things to look for when buying an hps kit? Like not an enclosed ballast? vented reflector with glass?
im clueless as to what to look for when buying an hps kit, help edumacate me

If I wasn't on kind of a tight budget
I might do something like this...
put one of these cool tubes inside of regular enclosed light housing(glass on the bottom with 2 holes for intake and exhaust) with a curved reflector... run the light to a remote ballast, and run 2 inline fans through the cool tube getting rid of most of the heat before it even enters the grow area..
You can get a cool-tube for a 400watt system (complete with remote ballast) for around 300 dollars on the net...
then you could probably build a housing with some stuff from home depot for around 40 bucks (for the reflector and to help contain any of the heat that radiated from the cool tube)
