Evening lads, Well off on hols for a weeks Sun to Ibiza tomorrow so i ran about 5 ltr through each of the girls then a ltr with feed just to top them off so fingers crossed when i come back in a week they are still alive, What do you guys think my chances are.

And on the plus side the misses was packing the suitcases and she found a pieces for a couple of joints of lovely pollen i got in spain last year, gift because i was totally out and hadnt had a joint all day...baked...hehe

put a tray under them and make sure it has water in it and you should be fine just make sure ur light is far enough away from the plants that they wont be touching the bulb in a week, nice find in the suitcase hopefully youl get a good smoke over there too

11th june 2012 008.jpg 11th june 2012 009.jpg wel lads, how,s thing,s. hit the girls with another drop of pk 13/14 couple of days ago they really seem to be liking it,the 1 on the right has a serious amount of stuff on it, the main bud is around 12" long and 2" diam. moved the light away a few inchs and seems to be recovering from the burn, the super skunk has been curing for a week and i took a nug out this evening its dry but so sticky the grinder wont grind it. so i read on here to put a bit in grinder and into freezer for 3 mins and it grinds up nicely,it worked a treat.

that came out all fucked up
Which? Freezing it?

If you desperately want to try a bit quickly you need to put it in top of an empty cigarette box on top of a radiator in the morning, by that night (if the rad has been on) it'll be ready.

Sounds like yours is dry on the outside, but completely undried in the middle, hang it for another week or so and then start the cure.

Trust me tho, if it won't grind it's not dry enough yet ;)

Ibiza is a fine spot, body couldn't take no longer than a week there... Mashed every day and night.. Took me weeks to get over it..!
Think the plants will be o.k., although are you using air-pots..? As Kang says, move your bulb away for the growth whilst your away.. Least you'll see a big difference if/when you come back..

Looking great, some amount of bud on them... Is the one on the left a bit more hungry for nutes.?? Looks short of "P" to me..

there both on the same nft tray, getting the very same nutes as each other, i dropped the ph down to 5.3 last week as i tought it was manganese def and they definatley got a bit greener. i change the res a couple of days after that had the the new mix ph,d to 5.5. but it keeps on raising itself to 6.0/6.3 and has been doing that for the last 6 weeks. bring it down to 5.7/5.8 with the ph down 8 hours later its gone back up

il put the hole lot of it into a paper bag for a few days, cheers har.
It should flake up nicely between your fingers when it's just right, the resin shouldn't be as sticky just from touch either cos it dries out as well.

When you start the cure the smell will disappear, if you burp daily after about a week and a half-two weeks it should come back all of a sudden STRONG. If you smoke it before that point you'll be disappointed with smell, taste, effect, etc. If Im stuck I buy a bit to tie me over or smoke bubble hash from the trim, cos the weed is really just best to keep till its ready.

put it into the bag today for 4 hours,it smelled nice goin in and like hay coming out, stalks are snapping.so i put it back into jars and after a few hours in the jars smell is coming back.is that cause its wet on the inside still and very dry on the outside? it grined up alot better after coming out of bag. i know it not goin to be as good a quality yet, but im going to smoke it anyway, got 31grms total off the 2 super skunk auto, im keeping 10 grms for a 30 day cure.hopefully after my next grow il have a stash built up and will only be smokin bud with a minimum 30 day cure. goin to make some butter from the trim of what im growing now so if i get stuck,with the help of betty crocker il make some devils space cake:bigjoint:

Don't microwave the butter to melt it before you put it in, ruins potency, just leave it out to melt beforehand. Don't eat too much in one go or you'll be 100% cabbaged.

well lads what u think can i trim off all my leafs so i can get more light to the bottom of my plant or is that a bad idea
Leaves are what absorb light so what youre trying to do is counter productive, do a Buffalo Bill job and just tuck them away, don't just chop em off.

Couple snaps of the 600w tent. Theyre gonna be pretty big when they swell, lots and lots of small calyxes forming.

400w tent aint so shoddy either, didnt bother with pics again tho.
