Nice pics. Do you wet trim or hang first then dry trim? What's up next for your next run?
I trim all these as they are still in the pot. Try and get pretty close but I don't get too anal. Leave a little leaf material on to keep the rate of drying down. I try and hang the entire plant and then go in for a closer trim before hitting the jars. Not sure what's going to next for me. Going to wait for these to dry, send the samples out to some folks for blind judging and then take it from there.
As far as what I'm likely do to:

Assuming I have at least 1 suitable strain after the blind testing is to build a large hempy flower bed and try putting a large number of a single strain into the flower bed spaced either 3" or 4" apart and giving that a go.

Some very nice plants you got here, are you going to do the next cup competition?. From what I see here you'd do well. Not much difference. I'm about to start some barneys liberty haze and LSD. Also some catatonic. If I'm flowering when the next cup comp starts I'll try again. Hope you post that flower bed, I'd like to see that.

Thanks man! Yeah, the pots I'm using are pretty small. The 3" pots are not that much larger than a solo cup...lol
As Winter approaches it's going to be too cold for me to start anything new until at least March so I'm just going to ponder what I've done, wait for the weigh-in's and smoke reports and then see if I want to pursue this technique or not. Let me ask you...as you grew that plant, had you had a shit load of those would you have been able to put the cups side by side? Or would the crowding have been a problem for you?

I had the two final ones about 2 inches apart for quite a while and they seemed fine. My final entry if I had a lot I think they would have been able to do well crowded like that.

Nice job and witty name lol, I skimmed through the whole thread. very frosty! I almost ran a bunch of the strains you have listed and still have many seeds left so I seen some nice ones in your pics :) You had wayyyyy better results with blue planet than i did, tried it and couldn't get the hang of it.

My first time using any real nutrient system. I found Blue Planet to be a little bit of a pain in the ass only because of how many parts I had to mix together. But all in all I was very happy with the results. I had numerous plants that still had their very first fan leaf nice and green.

I havent tried today but I've been having a lot of problems too over the last few days. Sometimes I just get the popup error saying there was a problem...other times it says they are too big even tho they are only like 600K.

Hey Hot Diggity, been having the same issues and I've tried 4 different browsers under Windows, Mac OS and Linux. It's a site problem, I've seen others mention the same problem. It started Monday morning and was good yesterday but today it's happening again. I've mentioned it in the help forums and from the answer I got I don't think they know what the problem is. From experience (I'm in the technology field) they probably did an upgrade Sunday night and something f'd up. Hopefully they'll figure it out soon, kind of hard to update threads with no pics :(

Yeah, I'm an IT guy as well. This site is very heavy AJAX and they probably have a dedicated server or servers to handle and serve photos so it's likely at that point that there is an issue.

Yeah I've noticed today, the upload problem is back and even displaying pics is problematic, some I juts get a question mark icon. You're right, they're likely dedicated servers for pics and they're having some form of connectivity or updated software that's causing them issues. Seems pretty wide spread now, have seen quite a few folks mention it now :(

I just want to say, the man who can be dealt news of tragedy like that, yet still have the drive to see things through and still keep your mind on track while doing this experiment, is admirable to say the least. I am sorry for your loss, death's in the family are never easy. On another note, I've read through all 27 pages of your journal and I have to say, very impressive and inspirational! I'm newer to the grow scene but like you, obtained TONS of info online and on forums to teach me how to grow! Your experiment thoroughly convinced me to skip the 2 weeks of vegging and go straight to 12/12. I thought that vegging was a necessity for plant production before but seeing as how you got nice, top grade medicine with a manageable indoor size is very alluring! Thanks again for all the info and effort you put into this grow journal! I'm sure you helped a lot of us out! @Hot Diggity Sog

Harvest Weights and Pictures!

I feel like I've been gone forever! We had a pretty bad storm and I lost power for 72 hours. Presented a challenge to control odor as many plants were hanging still.
This is going to take a least a week to get through but here is the first wave. As I took these pictures, each strain definitely has it's own unique smell and characteristics but there is one thing they all have in common. STICKY!
