Man those are def killer plants! You will def have to post how those turn out, yield and all, id plus rep you but it says i gotta spread some rep around first.

I have a bag seed in soil right now, 18 in tall, i would say it has a good 20 colas on it, i tried to count but its def to bushy to tell for sure.

Well, I come back from the coast after new years, and DISASTER!!! One of my girls fell over!!! aarrgghhhh...

The colas were so long, fat, thick, and full of moisture that she just couldn't handle it any longer... Luckily she wasn't like that for long. So, I tied her all up, and all is well. I hadn't noticed before, but there are buds on this plant that are larger in diameter than a coke can. much larger. I mean FAT!!! :-) I'm very happy with the way this grow is going.

Now, tonight I went down to do a nute change and realized that I don't need to!!!! ah ha!!! I'm 7 days away from my projected cut date. 60 days of flowering... I started to really look closely at my girls, and yep, they are damn close to being ready. Nothing but water from here on out. I like that. It's so easy...heheh.

I'll get some pics up soon. And I promise I'll have nice pics of the fattest buds, the nicest trichome production, a big old bud pile, yield, all the shit... :-)

I did the calculation. If I get 1 gram per 1 watt of light, then I should get approximately 4.4 pounds of pot. However, I don't think I will hit this mark. I would love to see 4 pounds, but I think 3 will be more realistic. However, 3 pounds off of 4 plants.....I won't complain. :-)

See you all soon.

Big as coke cans!? You are the man Snut. Sorry to hear about the ol' girl falling over, glad it wasn't bad and you could just string her back up.
I'm excited as fuck for you man, this is one hellova grow man. I really hope you get the gram/watt. If not, I don't think you'll be too pissed with 3p's lol
Can't wait to see the final product and weight/smoke report.
Rock on Snut rock on

I went out and bought me a hand held microscope today. I really like these things. it goes from 60x to 100x magnification, and was only $12.09 at my local radio shack. Very reasonable price. And, it's the best tool I've seen for figuring out when to harvest. It makes it so easy to see the trichomes. I like to harvest when I see clear, milky white, and burgundy trichomes. To me, this is the best time to cut them down. I think that at this point, they're as ripe as they can possibly get without going over. If you get brown trichomes, you've went too far and your crop is over white.

I'm looking forward to checking things out tonight. I might even be able to use this little scope to take a picture with. Maybe... I'm going to try tonight.

Hey Snutter! Man I love your set up! I'm thinkin about heading to the store asap and get me some air line T's so I can toss those fuckin air stones!

Couple of questions for ya. It looks like each plant has its own light. Is that correct? What size lights are you using?

I read your other thread about how you build your DWC but I didnt get how you change out your old water. You have such massive root balls on those plants it would be a total bitch to pick it up and put it in a new res.

Major +++rep, btw!

Hello LoPan....Hahaha. First off, Big trouble in little china is a KICK ASS movie!!! so great user name brother!!

I don't blame you for wanting to get rid of the airstones bro, I don't dig them either. I've NEVER had to replace an airline in one of my systems. They work forever with NO hassles!!!

Now, as far as changing out old nutes for new ones, that's easy. I lift the lid up, and slide it over just a little bit and let it rest on top of the tote. Then I use a pump to pump out the old nutes. While that pump is running, I have an empty tote that I fill up with 12 gallons of water and then mix in my new fresh batch of nutrients. Once the old nutes are done being pumped out, I switch the pump over and pump in the new nutes. Easy easy brutha!!!

And yes, each one of my plants has a dedicated light. Each light is 400W HPS. That's in my flower room. In my Veg room I run 1 400W Metal Halide. But, in about 2 weeks I'm going to have two 400W Metal Halide's running in the Veg room, and only four 400W HPS lights running in the flower room. After that, I won't make any more changes to my lighting. I think that will work perfectly for what I want to do....And what I plan on doing is having 1 plant come out of the flower room every 2 weeks and at the same time one plant going in to the flower room. I figure at the least I will be pulling 8 oz's every 2 weeks. Probably more though.

Hope this helps bro. :-)

Well done on the big bushy beast mate but nooo way are you gonna get 14oz off her, from my experience it would be about 9 of dried cured bud at a push. Still quite an achievement tho bro

Well, damn, burst my bubble, hahah.... I have a couple that were about the same size maybe a little smaller that are almost done flowering now, and I think I'm seeing around 10oz on them... But you could be right. heheheh. I might be "over-hoping" lol.

thanks for stopping by. I'll be posting the results of my current grow here. How much I get from each plant, and total. I have 4 plants that are about 1 week from harvest. I hope you stop back by to see the results..
