Harvest was o.k.-ish.. should have been left till now to harvest, what I did get though was a lot of pop corn buds that are the stickest ever..
It's all been put in a tin to cure.. will weight and let you know but it wont be much..
My heating mat broke..:-( so using something similar that i got from Lidls some time ago.. also gave my clone room a lick of paint..

I've not been up to my outdoor grow yet..

I'm not too sure how acurate this it but the scales say 222 grams, although saying that I think the buds have a bit of moisture in them to lose..

Outdoor grow is doing o.k.-ish... went there today, the over groth had blown over, hopefully only last night with the wind and rain, I've cleared the area again so they should be ready for a good bit of sun now..

I never took my camrea with me to the outdoor grow as I went on my mountain bike...(wont be doing that again!!!)
As for the harvest, no pics taken yet...
I'm hoping tonight will be the last time i "burp" the tin..

Something is not right..when I weight this harvest.

Tin & Harvest weight= 546.9g
Tin only weight= 325.5g
221.9 the differance.. 7.8 oz....??

Should last me a while anyway.. Gonna ask the wife to get my fly fishing lessons and a couple of good seeds..

I'd like to get a book on harvesting, in depth with drying and curing.. as there is nothing as bad as smoking something that smells like hay..

alot of the "hay" smell in my experiance is from harvesting too early or not dry/cured enuff. My drying room stays about 20-30% humidity and i usualy dry for a week or 2 and cure for a few weeks in airtight jars opening daily to prevent mold etc.. last harvest smelled nice and lemony in the jars after about 1 1/2 - 3 weeks.

btw jay thats a nice haul .. how many plants ?

This BLZ Bud smells real sweet, even at this stage.. hits you with a bang too..
I'll see how it is this morning and then maybe jar the lot of it at the start of the week
It all came from 6 -7 plants, but like I say I harvested too early...(good job I have new clones of it)

To bring them to flower.. however are you planning to use the sun energy throughout the flowering as you'll need to revise your times when your dark period will be i think.
Aslo is it not labour intensive doing this everyday..??

You'll find a sunrise / sunset chart on the net.. you'll need to use this to get your 12 hours as the days are now getting shorter.
best of luck with it, I'm intresested to see what you get off this..
One thing i will tell you is, it has to be 12 hours everyday, I think even the extra 10 mins might stop the flowering process.

Best of luck man..
