2000w Purple Kush 106 Plant Ebb and Flow SOG

Or you could try the new "Big Mama" from Grodan. It's an 8x8 cube. Just saw them yesterday at the hydro store for the first time.

Sorry you had a few mold. Sounds like it wasn't that bad though. I really think you are gonna top 3 pounds easy. Guessing closer to 3 1/2.

How long you normally like to cure for?

i hope i get 3 1/2. they are shrinking up alot though. i usually cure for a couple of days. i dont really do too much curing. my parents and uncle cant wait that long. they want their medicine NOW!!!

Give em enough to last 3 weeks and cure the rest.

beautiful. fucking beautiful.

i'd like a DIY on this. I gotta read and figure out how to do all that.

Hey bro I really hope you don't feel this as a thread jack or anything. I just want to toss this out there for a few of those people asking questions about the ebb and flow systems. This video I found in these forums was a pretty nice step by step video on setting up a simple ebb and flow system. Might help some might not, but if I can help I would like to. Here's the link.

Hope this helps. If you would like me to remove this post just let me know in time and I will change it. I'm a bit anxious to see how much dry weight you got off this grow. Good job man.

the mold wasnt too bad. i found it on about 7 plants. each one had it on 1 small bud. it wasnt bad at all. i just trimmed the buds up small that had mold on em and threw the moldy part out.

Good man, glad to hear the mold wasn't overbearing. I had a crop a few years back that the humidity took over and killed my flower room. My dehumidifier stopped working about 2 weeks into flower and I couldn't afford to get another. I was working 12 hours a day and just happened to be the same time my lights were on so there really wasn't much I could do... Took over completely and I lost about 2 +/- lbs and ended up throwing everything out. I know how bad things can get and how quickly they can get there lol.

What would happen if you used the trimmer after you hang dried them? Would it still work well do you think? Did you save any to hand trim or did you throw them all in the wok?

 

[DubsFan]

It looks like he uses a tumbler trimmer. The bowl style. I just got one. Wet nugs handle the tumble very well. Dry nugs would probably have hair and product fly everywhere. Wet nugs are extra sticky and it seems like just the leaves get cut off leaving by behind nice nugs and trichs.

 

[smokingrubber]

I've heard (and practiced) you're supposed to hang the branches (minus fan leaves) for about 5 days to let the thc trickle down into the buds. MYTH? How do the buds look when dried like that on the net? How does the finished bud look compared to one hung and hand-trimmed?

Just wondering what the pros & cons are with this method.

I expect my first crop (with new setup) to be about 3lbs and I'll definately hand trim it because right now I've got more time than money. But I want to spend a month researching these trimmers and buy one before next time. Do the 1k models do a better job manicuring or just more capacity?

buds look no different than when hung dried. the pros are it takes alot less time and is much easier. there are no cons IMHO. i thik the 1k ones are electric or just really expensive. i got mine for $400.

THC (trichomes) are little hairs attached the buds and all over the plant. For the THC to "trickle" down, wouldn't make much sense.

It's a dumb stupid myth that someone made up while stoned.

 

[smokingrubber]

LOL, it seems like something a stoner would make up. Good to know.

 

[Bob Smith]

It's not something made up and useless (well, the THC dripping part is), but it's based in fact (kind of) - keeping the stem on allows to bud(s) to dry more evenly then removing the buds from the stem.

So, it's not the THC "dripping down", it's the plant's moisture being more evenly distributed throughout during the drying process.

Some people say that quick dry is bad and slow dry is good, and they would advocate leaving the stem on - I personally think it doesn't make a lick of difference.

final dry weight was 1175g. i was definately hoping for atleast 3lb. oh well. maybe next time.

 

[kovo]

nice one 2.5 lbs is good i guessed around 3! mabey less numbers and longer veg would bring a better result pce

Sorry to hear that you didn't hit your goal man, but there are worse things in life then being stuck with 2.5lbs. of dank

Any chance you're gonna have a conclusion/summation post where you discuss ways that you think you could improve your yield?

 

[don2009]

how bout some pics bro? yeah I would like to know what you think you did wrong but thats still good. I think its the strain its not a lolli pop strain so it wouldnt yield good in that form maybe you top them and make a lil tree for that strain (you said it wasnt a lolli pop strain I think before) but awesome job I think you have to veg a lil longer with that one just cuz the strain, some you can do from clone to flower when they root idk bout that one tho still great job
