you can always set up like graduating downward steps to keep all the plants the same distance from the light. so have the oldest on the floor then say raise the next row by 4" then the next row by another 4" so its actually 8" off the ground then as you remove and and replace they will all get even light amounts
Yup Yup..
Here's a little example of 'Step x Step' ..

Well my first chop seems like it was a bit early. Smell & taste is kinda green, like parsley or oregano. Buds are light and fluffy, what looked like alot probably doesnt weigh much.
But before you feel sorry for me, they pack a hell of a punch. Packed up the normal ammount for an am buzz, and was pleasently suprised. Heady, body uplifting high. Kinda narcotic, but def not a mellow or couch lock high. Put my head out for at least an hour, feeling good still 1.5 hours later. No crash yet, seems to just be wearing off...
It was not flushed, it burns nice and even, ash is white and its not harsh at all...
The others are looking good, one in the back is coming down sat. Looking with the scope its mostly cloudy right now.
This one has been on a sweet water diet for a week, but going to hit it with a nute mix and let it go til next Sat. Trichs are still clear, some starting to cloud up.
This is the bottom half of the first one I clipped, letting it fill in. Going to check the trichs Sat and decide what to do with her...

Don't worry about the smell and taste bro if you cure for a good month they will taste tollaly different. Shit I'm always doing something wrong with my plants, every morning I wake up I think I'm gonna open my tent

Well that's the law, everyone harvests early first time. Secondly everyone is horrified as there budds start to dry and they realise that they lose something like 70% through moisture. It depresses me every time. Budd's that look like a full Oz end up weighing about 8g lol. Took me about 3 or 4 harvests to accept that what I chop is gonna shrink big time!!
Your first harvest, how long was it hanging/drying. My first couple of harvests had a hay like smell, because they dried too quick, and without enough airflow, but when you split em open and smoked they were fruity as!! And like Ace says, once they have been cured a little it's all gravy!
That other plant looks tastey as!! Do you mean next Sat as in 10 days?? Not sure it will need that long, but as you say, keep an eye on those trich's

UK Growers, go into Maplin, and buy one of these. They have similar ones in store for about £7. You can plug it striaght into the mains (no plug supplied, and make sure you get a 230v one) and then hang it directly under your bulb, like so:
I have just moved it this close to the bulb, and it has allowed me to drop the light down to a smidge over 3" above the tops. I can quite happily hold my hand at 2", but I'm not gonna risk this with plants as they are close enough already

I think I have a combo of things with the first chip. Too early, hung too long etc.
No biggie tho.
The one I showed the pics of looked a bit clear today. So I will do a better check and decide.
I have another that looks ready, saw a lot of cloudy.
But only checked briefly this am.
The shrinking was expected. But the buds are firm n dense growing, but fluffy n loose dried..
But it put my dome out this morn as good even better than most of what i can buy, so it's all good..

The auto flower Top 69 smokes like a dream with a very crisp taste and smooth hit. Nothing but compliments from my buddies
who are hard at work enjoying the fruits of my labor lol! Anyway, the first two photos are the update on my outdoor bag seed
adventure with a friend. They are definitely sativa dominant which I am looking forward to adding to the rotation.The Mazar Kush
twins are doing amazing but I think I may have burned them just slightly. They are budding much faster than the auto flower did.
Gonna let the main colas cure for much longer before I smoke them to experiment with the curing process and get a better idea
of it.

sure come on by... lol
Well I did indulge last night, nice buzz n football makes for a fine wed evening.
First few buds i smoked were the little fluff growth, last nigh i had a bigger bud. The flavor was a bit better, but hearing some snap crackle n pop, so def will do a minor flush for all the rest. Light nute + h20 & sweets at least 7 - 10 days before cutting.
kicked my intake fan up to high, try to drop temps a couple degrees and see if the buds grow fuller next time.
Will be doing some more cutting sat, and the rest next sat. One plant seems to have a good amount of cloudy trichs, the other still has some clear.
