I chopped the sativas today, after three days of dark. I defiantly think that I'm gonna get as much weight, if not more, off of them than I had thought. I took a couple pics of them hanging. I pulled off a bunch of the fan leaves, but I am gonna let them hang for 24 hours before I trim them. Call me lazy, but I just spent three days in the car and I really didn't feel like trimming them tonight. I've got a fan blowing on all of them to help them dry and keep the air moving. I can tell they are getting good air flow because they are spinning around, lol. Here are the pictures of those.







As far as the Widow and Kush are concerned, everyone that has smoked it has been blown away! It sucks hearing all the compliments and not being able to take any of the credit for it!!! While I was out of town I managed to find a house with a basement that will perfectly fit my needs. I also picked up a silk screen from the craft shop and am in the process of making my first batch of dry sieved hash! It is working great and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be super dank!! Well, I'm gonna relax now. I'll get more pictures up when I am done trimming and have the hash done. Peace guys!!! TC

nice man ! need to see some bud shots now :)

Well I've got one more plant to trim up, and my gf is gonna finish that today. I've got 3 paper bags with alot of weed in them, but to be honest I don't think it weighs as much as I'd hope. I suppose it isn't really a surprise, I knew the sativas were gonna be airy, but its still kinda a bummer. They aren't useless or anything, there is alot of decent buds, and it all smokes great. But what can I say, I learned alot from this grow and all I cn do now it apply that to my future grows. I'll get a weight tonight for you guys, and some bud shots of the whole lot to finish out my journal. I'll try to come up with an estimate on my expenses, and an overview of total production, lol basically I'll give you guys a summary of the last 7 months.

As for another journal Prot3us, I'm not decided yet, but this may be a one time journal for me. I don't know for sure, but I think I may be dropping off RIU when I move. I need to look into better internet security before I decide. I currently use someone elses internet, so I'm not to worried about it, but I'll be needing to get my own once I move. So if you guys have any suggestions for free good quality security let me know, and you might get another journal out of me, lol. I'll talk to you guys tonight, peace! TC

Sativas are like those big chocolate bunnies you would get all excited about Easter morning. Alright you tell yourself, this is going to last a long while.
You take that first magnificent bite and angrily find out the bunny is hollow, not solid.

Sativas...... :lol:

Lol, well put crackerjax. That is pretty much exactly the case. I can say that even though it isn't nice dense buds, a bowl of it will sure fuck you up. Its some pretty dank shit all things considered. My gf just finished trimming it all. I'm not sure if I'll get the pics up tonight, but I'm off work tomorrow, so I'll get the weights, and pics taken care of. Maybe I'll take some pics of the next generaton of ww clones too. Talk to you guys then. TC

Well I am pretty damn happy with the final numbers. I finished with all the buds today. I clipped off any extra stems, and clipped everything into nice size colas. I'm very pleased to say that the 2 purple power plants weighed in within 2g of each other, it was crazy, they were 135g and 136g, plus some tenths I didn't count. So just over 9.5 oz from those two plants. The skunks came in at just over 6.5 oz for the 2 plants. That doesn't count the rest of the one skunk I chopped and made into butter a couple weeks ago. Then the WW, and Kush had been just over 7oz together. Giving me a grand total of just over 23oz from the whole thing, plus 5g of some very tasty hash, and about 15 sticks of dank ass butter!(and we still have to process all the sativa trim, prolly more butter) I didn't quite make the 1.5 lb mark, but as I said I'm pretty happy, this was only my second grow.

I didn't save receipts from my grow, but from what I can remember I estimated about 700 bucks invested in this grow, that includes electricity, water, nutes, the 400w mh light, medium, assorted grow supplies, and seeds. I got almost one gram per doller invested, so thats not to bad in my mind. I'm still hoping to go hydro this next run, but I gotta see how much build money I have. I am going to be putting up a false wall in the basement of the new place, and with any luck will have a nice neat set up this time. I am gonna go get some lunch, and then take some pics when I get home. I'l talk to you guys more then. PEace TC

Lol, I think I actually only had about 700 in it, but well put, that's about how I'm feeling today!

So I'm back from lunch, and running around, I'll take some pics, and I gotta clean up the basement. I need to get everything cleaned up today, so I can get the trash dispossed of, and tell my land lord we are leaving at the end of the month. I'm hoping he's not to pissed, but I didn't want to tell him till the grow was done, and cleaned up completely. I'll get the pics up here in a bit. Peace, TC

Here are the pictures that I promised. I can't tell you which ones are purple power and which are skunk because my gf mixed them up when she poured them onto the table.

Thanks guys, appreciate it for sure. I think in the end, I still like my ww the most, but it deffinitly is some good smoke. Its hard to describe the taste, not really fruity, but with a sweetness on the after taste. Looks like thats what I'll be smokin for the next 2 months or so till the next batch of WW is done. Well I'm gonna burn a bowl of widow with some hash on it, so I'll think of you guys, lol. Peace TC

Honestly I wish I could have a big RIU smoke out party! it would be great to get to chill with some of you guys, and all be able to share buds and shit. We could roll up some blunts, and fire up the big screen!
