[Bakatare666]

Definitely one of if not the best grow thread I've ever read. Super glad I jumped in when I did couldn't contribute much but some +rep and a bunch of likes here and there but what I got in return was some dope ass organic grow knowledge that you can't put a price on. Plus this thread lead me a few other threads that have been more than helpful also. Sincerely420 we thank you for the time and effort you put in every post very thoroughkiss-ass [video=youtube_share;t_iabH9TPcw]http://youtu.be/t_iabH9TPcw[/video]

Fuck that shit man, you contributed plemty, and that's why everybody was so positive on your thread.

Beyond that, you can figure out who to continue to give support to, and who not.

 

[Sincerely420]

I'm just glad I got the support around me that I do!
As well as the intellect to make sense of all this goodness!

Cheers for the props gang! And Dro, I see you boss! Without a doubt I do.
We on the same wave. And like Baka said bro, u contributed more than u know fam!
And it's only gone get more thorough bro!
ive got mad respect for u an the fact that u soaking up some knowledge before u jumped right in!
And hell yeah as far as the ppl that I keep up with! Been trying to surround myself with ppl that want to help themselves as much as I do!

But sooner than later we gonna be back in the swing of things! Got about every piece to the puzzle right now!
Been a strong 6 months growing and upgrading as I've gone!

Next grow ill be dialing in my methods shooting for a 100 day harvest of at least a pound!
I'll be focusing a little more on my tea work as well! I'd like to breed this go, but I'm gonna wait one more grow so I can really be ready for it!

But again, thanks for all the love!
Sooner than later we'll be at it all over again!
No stressing and all intense lighting!

 

[hiitsbob]

congrats homie. nice having inspirations all around these parts.
started roughly december 1 and finished may 1?
2 harvests in 5 months is damn good.
should be able to pull a couple pounds a year fairly easy.
congrats again on the beautiful smoke

 

[ReefBongwell]

pretty sure he's going for a couple pounds per harvest going forward

 

[hiitsbob]

Haha who wouldn't. If we had that much green might be couch lock for life

Thx Hits! And yup, I started everything my first three that I harvest on Thanksgiving Day and harvested all those in March, and then the second group of 5 I started on January 3rd and harvested all those in April!!

So I've harvested 8 plants from November til April, from two separate ops!
And cheeps again for the props homie! You're about to be up next!

pretty sure he's going for a couple pounds per harvest going forward

Damn right homie! I'm trying to pull some Bongwell proportions!
Now I'm stuck on what I wanna do for the next run lol. Do i wanna run 8 bagseeds which could bring me some DYNAMITE genetics, or do I wanna go ahead and start popping more being from Attitude! What would you do man?

Go with bagseed that could potentially be more SLH and MK Ultra and Master Kush and god knows WHAT ELSE!
Or go with things you already know?
And why would you do what you'd do haha?!
Me and the caregiver came to the desicion to run the bagseed, then we kinda renigged on that decision lol, so now I'm up in the air as to what the hell I wanna do lol.

 

[Sincerely420]

And to top it all off, my seeds and my #3 smarties are in the city!

Everything couldn't be coming together any better!

Im living proof that if you're good to ppl and you just keep on going, u can go around the world on your own strength!
It doesn't matter where you come from as much as it does the way you move about!

Yay, freebies galore!

 

[Sincerely420]

Yay, freebies galore!

Hell yeah boss! I'm a discount shopper! Every time Attitude is feeling generous I figure I'll take my chances.
Otherwise, I'm good.
2 of the Seedsman White Widow, the Delicious Seeds Critical Jack, and the Dinafem Blue Widow were all freebies haha!
So outta this op, 4 were freebies, 1 was bagseed, and 3 I selected!

But I'm about to get to knocking shit up tho! Can't WAIT for that time to roll around..Maybe the op after the next...

A couple more rounds of order reg. beans and I'll be in the money!
Shit who KNOWS what I might get outta these bag seeds man! Oh God!

You got some kick ass beans there -- I'd go with the attitude beans... ace of spades, grandaddy purp, chemdawg, barneys farm g13haze... come on now! The bagseed beans are probably worth growing out but it's a much bigger gamble. Are they s1s? f1s? f2s? odds of you getting the same bud as you got them from are pretty low regardless... you could always end up with something better and off the charts (strains have been made this way!), but your best bet is with the store bought seeds. Shit those bag seeds might not even germ blueberry headband? never even thought of that cross sounds totally badass...

it's a good idea to know what you want out of your grow... that generally decides your beans for you... but just go with what your instincts get excited about -- deciding's half the fun

Just an fyi that greenhouse bubba kush is not the same thing as the bubba kush that floats around cali whatsoever... it's greenhouses version. just an fyi

 

[ReefBongwell]

Also just an fyi attitude's not really a discount site... those freebies are covered by higher markup. My beans I get from hempdepot.ca are always cheaper than attitude... they used to not ship freebies but last time I got a *10-pack* of freebie malberry beans. of course hempdepot doesn't do single seeds or 5 packs so there's not as much mix and match... but when i order something i want to end up with a good representation of it, and 1-3 beans doesn't guarantee you that at all even feminized. so before you order a 10 pack off attitude ever, be sure and check hempdepot first to see if they got what you want because usually if i buy 2 10 packs at hemp depot, for the amount i save I can almost buy a full 10 pack of another strain off of what i saved compared to buying at attitude.

my order taking a considerable amount of time but at least I know it's in the states. happy to see yours made it to it's destination safe and sound

 

[giggles26]

Just want to through it out there 420 but my blue venom hermied on me late in flower. Did it to me 2 times so I never grew it out again.

Yup! One of the many I've had so far this year boss hahaha!

Just the response I was looking for! Cheers brother!
And good looking out on the GHS Bubba Kush heads up..

I've gotta make one more move before I can REALLy do things after this move I'm about to make now, so I figure I'll shelf my regular seeds until I can flex on em haha! Got some interesting crossing in mind, but I need some Ak,some more Jack Herer, and some NL to feel confident haha!

But I know for the next op I'm gonna run the Chemdawg, Blueberry Headband, Pineapple Express, La Chocolat, G-13 haze and Dark star.
As for the 8th I wanna grow, I'm not sold lol.
Was looking at genetics an info per strain all night tonight as couldn't come to a conclusion as to what I wanna grow...I wanted to run the silver la, but it's silver bubble x la confy, rather than silver haze....Dont really care for it.
Was looking at the OG #18 but I don't wanna grow it bcuz its reportedly similiar to the Chemdawg....

Pfff...I'm so ready to germinate something else lol, but I just wanna be 100p on what I wanan do lol. Decisions decisions.
Yesterday I almost started germing 10 bagseeds lol. I need to get it together lol!
I just know I need that worlds strongest!

And BIG UPS again in regards to the tip about HD.
I'll def. look into it! I wanna get a litttttle more variation and then I'll start on pack when I start breeding!
But the reason I like Attitude is because of the pick and mix lol. And the fact that I get crazy deals bro!
You don't think $80 for 14 beans is a damn good deal?!

my order taking a considerable amount of time but at least I know it's in the states. happy to see yours made it to it's destination safe and sound

12 days for me boss! The two times before that it was 11! But 420 was on a weekend, so it really took like 9 days!
I got the stealth method too, and nothing looked bothered so customs ain't looking too hard haha!
They'll be there boss! First order always takes the longest.

Just want to through it out there 420 but my blue venom hermied on me late in flower. Did it to me 2 times so I never grew it out again.

Who was the breeder boss?! I don't have any blue venom!

 

[hiitsbob]

Yo homie what's good this awesome Friday.
My questions are about harvest cure.
i guess it's more would like a bit of detail you have it dialed and great looking finish product.
being my first real harvest would like to get it drilled in my head now what's going down.
i like the brown bag so if it over drys a few hours it's not crisp.

 

[Sincerely420]

• If you hang dry, leave them hanging to dry at first for no more than 3 days. Outta the 8 I've harvest this first run, none needed to be hanged for longer than 3 days!
• DON'T use a fan unless you have to! YOU REALLY DON'T NEED ONE for you first time, unless there's lots of state air where you're drying them. If you do use a fan, DO NOT point it right at your buds! Point it away from your buds if anything! You don't want the buds to dry too fast! Ruins it bro
• Do not jar too early tho, because then they'll take too long to dry! I don't really see a problem with a REALLY slow dty, except for that fact that it'll get frustrating trying to grind up and smoke weed with moisture in it lol
• Drying too fast will make your bud smell like hay, or like nothing really.
• I cut all my colas up into nice golf ball size buds! You can trim the buds better individually that way, and trim them all evenly!
• If you go str8 to paper bagging them, it REALLY preserves the smell! But MAKE SURE you fill the paper bag with other shreads of paper bag before you bag the buds. Try your best to keep all the buds from touching! As the days do on, one at at time, you'll notice the scraps of paper bag within you paper bag getting more and more damp, as they slowly pull moisture outta your buds! At these point you can change the scraps of paper bag, or move you buds to a new paper bag. You don't have to tho! I just did!
• If you paper bag them, leave them bagged for 4-5 days, then start your burping/curing process! Monster, 20liter sized cola might take a 4-5 days or even a week to hang before you can come close to jarring them, but not small buds. Or average sized bud.
• Burp them A LOT after you jar! I'm into jarring when the bud still has a bit of moisture to be pulled out, so I can keep that LOUD smell!
• The buds take 2/3wks curing before they get to the point of bud that you've got from the street dried and cured ya know?
• Trimming: GET RUBBER GLOVES w/ No powder base while you trim, or your hands will be sticky for two days lol. And you can't wash the stink or sticky off! Don't not take my word and try me on this one lol. Especailly if you have to be discreet about anything while going anywhere the day or two after trimming! Busted terepenes release the odor we smell! And terepenes are what dogs smell lol.
• Trimming: I take all the leaves I trim off, from biggest to smallest, and I start trimming all my buds upside down, as it's easier to remove the stems from the buds that way! That' just me tho!

Get some of these bubble bags: http://www.amazon.com/iPower-GLBBAG5X5-5-Gallon-Hash-Bag- Extractor/dp/B005TY2MFS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1367586908&sr=8-2&keywords=bubble+bags

Ppl will hate on them if they're feeling in the mood of hate lol just because they're cheap, and apparently don't hold up to well....We'll bro, this is how I see it...They're under $35 as an investment and I already pulled over and ounce of kif outta my bags...So that ounce of kif in numbers, has paid for these bags like 10x over almost. I've also washed 3 pf the bags in the washer and dried them too, and they're good for another run! But basically, I'll buy another pack of these, and then another pack afte those fail, and another pack after that lol. Rather then spending a one time $100 or whatever on some "high quality" bags..IMO stuff like this is expendable and should be cheap so I can throw it away at a moments notice.

Also as far as dry ice goes, your local grocery store is gonna be your best bet as far as finding some!
I'd call around locally and make sure I could find dry ice before I bought the bags..You can use them without too, but it's just instant kif and instant high from fresh dry ice kif. bubble hash I've yet to make...Might make some next run.

The bubble bags also double as an EXCELLENT drying rack when you sit them inside one another with a little paper bag scraps!

Theres some tips off the top of my head for ya boss...

And I'm sure I didn't hit it ALL on the head lol, so if anybody got any advice that can add for a first time harvester from their POV, please do help you boys outs!

I am a FIRM supporter of brown bagging tho! Worked out better for me than hanging!
Maybe hang a bud or to a little longer just to see what happens ya know?!
I missed on both my first two dry and cures bro. Both dried too fast! And the 3rd I jarred to early! Took me 4 to get the feel of what I wanted! Still gonna be experiementing little by little, but I'm MUCH closer to what I want in the end, then when I started!

 

[hiitsbob]

Thanks a lot I had most of what you said in my plan just was not sure about the timetable.
i will be picking up a set of bubblebags and will be making bubble hash so no need for the dry ice even tho I can get it.
thanks again I hope not to need 4 runs to get it seeing as you have the trial and error down.
