so here is my update...
i worked on my new box all weekend... i didnt take any new piks of the plant because my camera died after of took piks of what i was working on and didnt get the charger back till today... so i will have some updated piks of it tomorrow... i will say that the trichs are all cloudy/milky... the pistils are all a faint orange... it is super dense and fucking smells phenomanal... ummm... icant wait to regrow this plant the "right" way...lol... much fun... i am sticking to my harvest date of cutting it down thursday nite... it wil be its full eight week bday from showing sex... and being under 12/12 since seed...most fan leaves are falling off now... it looks a lil naked and bare, but that is fine... it is maturing to death... i have started flushing as well... not like i used a hole lot of nutes, but i read that even the molasses will change the natural flavor of it... update tomorrow on her... but this is my new box update... so lets get with it...
pics 1 and 2 are piks of my new micro bud drying box... i was really bored and figured why not get one ready... there will be fans for intake and exhaust on each side...
pics 3 and 4 are of my seedilings (now sprouts) i started germing awhile back in soil...i slao added another seedling to the mix... i am shoting for a couple females this time... but who knows... the more is def better... i will have sprouted piks of these up tomorrow... rite now they are testing out the new veg box for me...
pics 5 through 9 is the new light setup i am working on for my rubbermaid grow.. i have a total of 5 lights on this fixture... i plan on running four 42 watt cfl's and one 68 watt cfl... lots of lumens for my box.. i dont have it wired yet... i have to get new light sockets.. they have old ones in it, and i dont want to take the risk of burning my house down... there was probably a reason it was trash...one of the sockets were cracked, so i have decided to run it out of that hole... i will also prolly shorten the power chord to run along the top side of the box and plug it into my light set up that is gonna be across from it... refer to pik #8 to see the power strip light set...
1 will prolly put another two 42 watts and a single 68 watt and have them spaced evenly... so lets see real fast... if i get the bulbs i need for this, i will have a total of 388 watts...
i also plan one spraying of the inside of this box with flat white spray paint... i know mylar is good, but i feel that the white will serve its purpose...
piks 10 through 12 are my new veg hood.. got it from a friend of mine as a gift... i took the frame he had off of it and used the hood that came with it... its pretty good so far... all of my seedlings have sprouted and are doing good with it... there are two 18 inch 15 watt flurous... dont know what color spectrum ornything else about them... they just came with the table a friend gave me... i know that is low, but it seems to work fine... when they are taller, i will place them in the bottom of rubbermaid box, and the when it is time to flower, i will simply switch hoods and set my timer... i am also going to make this a yogurt cup sog at some point... i doubt from seedlings, but once i get some clones going prolly... once again, we will see what happens when it gets here... possible scrog in this box one day...
anyways, i think that concludes my update... i did have one question about harvesting... i have seen people not trim there leaves at all and cure their buds with the leaves still on them.. i am considering this... i do plan on smoking every bit of my trim, so the way i look at it is this, if i am going to smake it, i minus well let it get some cured bud flavor... any suggestion? this is one of the few things i cant find on riu... so any advice on curing untrimmed bud would help.. thanks guys, and like i said... new bud shots up tomorrow...
