Thanks man. Made a few mistakes along the way but all in all I am a happy grower. Glad that it turned out to be better then I was expecting. I can't wait as well. This closet grow is gonna be our last CFL grow. Now with having a little more money we will be able to do what we have always dreamed. Can't wait for this year! A year from today you should see something OUTSTANDING!

Thanks man. When I jarred it the other day I re weighed it and they lost about 60% of the weight already. I was down to about 46gs. Now it is curing with a little burp every 12 hours or so. I would have yielded more dry but threw alot of the top cola away because of disappointment. All of the other nugs are looking fantastic but me being a NOOB I ruined my top cola :( I still ended up making about 1.1 iso hash out of the top cola but that wasn't what I was hoping to do to her. All in all I am happy with my end result. Here in a couple weeks I'll crack this jar open to give a decent smoke report and the end yield.

P.S. The main cola would of weighed in at approximately 17g dry.... :*( super dissappointing but LESSON LEARNED!

I think today is the day that I crack her open. She has been sitting for almost a month now without being open so I will have a smoke report either today or tomorrow. Hopefully I didn't fuck up the curing process and it still turns out good. Thanks again for everyone's positive encouragement through out this whole grow. Take a look at the 2nd CFL grow we got going on. Here in about a month I should have my grow room completely set up. Right now I am going to use some tents until I have enough money for my hoods and ballasts. Stay tuned to see what I got in store for you guys. Finally going pro with my set up. CFLs worked FANTASTIC, but now that I am not worried about space or stealth I am going to go wild. Happy "Medicating!" :weed:

Wow man freaking amazing buds for only CFLs, sorry to hear about the rot on the main cola but you should have mad butter/hashoil with it lots of people make butter even if it has mold. But oh well :/

Now i gotta go find your smoke report :)

Well everyone thank you so much for following me throughout my grow. I can't wait to show you guys what I have working on now. Stay tuned for sure :) Anyways now with the smoke report. I am loading a bowl as I type this to try it out again. About a week into curing I had to smoke a bowl and must honestly say the taste was like nothing and the smell was faint of orange. But when I smoked it I could instantly feel a instant head rush as I inhaled, and exhaling the smoke was quite refreshing. No after taste in my mouth of smoke or nutrients, just a clean smoke. The high was all head and no body so I figured I'd wait for her to get better.

As for now, when I opened the jar I got an instant smell of citrus. (Not that super, skunky smell I was hoping for :( ) But I have to admit the smell is mighty desirable. :weed: Almost like the smell of an orange right as your crack the peel. When all that citrus squirts out and fills the air with a clean scent of fruit. That is what I get when I open this. As for taste....the inhale of the smoke is very indescribable. Its not a bad taste but its not the best taste either. It truthfully taste like nothing. :confused: But the instant high I just got is absolutely perfect for this time of day. I feel super spacey. Sitting in my grow room right now, losing my mind with all the ideas I have wandering around. I must say I just feel like getting up and doing something. This is going to be quite the good all day joint bud. Even the aroma of the smoke smells exactly like the bud but I just wish it tasted as good as it smells. My high seems to be getting better as time goes. My eyes are starting to get "chinky" and now I feel like eating, while being productive lol. Right now I am perplexed as to how I am getting so high off my bud. I almost want to smoke it all right now to see how much higher I can get if I'm this high off one bowl. I even started walking around to see if this was a placebo effect. NOPE definitely medicated :)

Overall, I am very pleased! :D The overall dry weight with the top cola was 42gs. Exactly an ounce and a half. Can't argue with that. Without that stupid top cola I ruined, it was a total of 25gs dry. I'd have to say for CFLs that isn't bad at all. The only thing I wish I would of done different is stuck with my original plan and just kept watering her without hitting her with those nutes 3 weeks before cropping. So DEFINITELY A BIGGER FLUSH THIS TIME! After seeing many other growers here in the valley I am going all organic here next go around. I have some babies Vegging up right now and I'll be posting a new thread here in a day or so. (gotta finish up my room first! :hump: ) Thank you all for following my whole grow. A shout out to JHOD, xebeche, Homer, and few other I can't remember off hand (you know who you are) for helping guide me through this beautiful process of cultivating your own medicine.

p.s. I just ate and am already hungry after writing all this. I'll post pics and everything tonight or tomorrow. Happy medicating :hug:
