hahahahaha^^ hahahahhahahah, I don't know whats funnier, if hes being sarcastic or if he really didnt know! lol.

Chopped the main cola off the hindu, only one.
Looks like about 10-14 grams dry if I had to guess.
Had a few accidents trimming shook it too hard and a couple nugs fell off the cola.
Just means I get to dry them in the oven and try them now.
will post pictures in a sec :]

So you put them in the oven eh? What temp? For how long?

I just trimmed a nug off of each of my strains. They were put in my toaster oven at 200F for 10 minutes. Now they are sitting on my dehumidifier... fuck it I'm going to smoke lol

170 degrees for whatever time it takes to dry is what I do.
Just cut the rest of the hindu down, wasnt really worth keeping it growing to be honest.
fucking taking forever to trim and my hand is tired.
ugh.


still waiting for my pic to get to my email.

Fool look at the publication date of the book.
Yea I know what you mean, but what if the authors are like crazy old you know?
I love the book, don't get me wrong it has everything you need plus more in it.
But, it's also a one sided story, you know?


I'm thinking I got atleast an ounce, if not more off the hindu, the colas were bigger than I thought.
Got a shitload of trim and just cut up all the popcorn buds and threw it in my trim bag.
Threw away all the fan leaves, not too worried about them.
sticky icky buds I must say, smell doesnt seem very pleasant bud it's probably cause I'm not a huge hindu fan.

MORE SPACE IN MY TENT!
yes!
Northern is due any day now, shes looking about finished up just waiting for some amber.
no pictures yet, shit isn't working very well.
Will have complete update later tonight.



-edit
also flipped my vent tent on it's side, and ran the intake from my flowering room into the exhaust of my veg tent.
So it pretty much connected both my tents, better then nothing.
So its 2 feet wide 3 feet tall 2 feet deep now, instead of 3 feet wide.

just be careful because if you get powdery mildew or mites.. it will go into your flower.. and its hard to treat those 2 things when your in flower :)

not sure, probably just an ounce off the hindu.. wasn't expecting much really.
if it doesn't turn out the best quality it's getting hashed anyways.

and i'm sorry for taking so long, phone is being a bitch and wont send pictures.
also i rarely even took pictures of the hindu as a plant, not really stressin this one too much guys.
it does look very good though, and is sticky as fuck!
a lot more bud than I expected I'll tell you that much.

The hindu kush got de-rooted last night.
She had roots to the botttom of the 5gal pot O.O
can't wait to see how bad the other plants are.


hindu kush looks a lot different after a whole day of hang drying.
fucking depressing man.

FUCK YOU ALOTABALL ALWAYS PISSIN ON MY PARADE AND SHIT.
lol ehh I'm not too worried about it, hindu kush was a fucking SHIT plant anyways to be honest.
and like I said, if it doesnt come out the dankest it's getting concentrated or straight to edibles.
It doesn't look like the most crystally dank bud I've seen, but it was very sticky so I figure it might still be good.
Cant wait to chop the northern down, she seriously probably has more bud on her main cola then the entire hindu kush had.
And it easily looks like an ounce off the hindu............ can't fucking wait.

All the girls got normal water today, hindu.. DD.. MB.. and the blueberry.
I'm thinking the northern is gonna die monday.

Try doing your flush and then wait till the soil is completely dry to harvest you end up with less water in your nugs and they dry faster i only loose 50% of my weight that way and it takes less hang time before it goes into jars. I trim my nugs when they are still fresh and wet and dont count them in the wet weight. Thats the only reason i said 50% if you chop when your soil is still wet it takes longer hanging and you loose more weight it all depends on how you harvest there is no correct answer to how much you will loose its all a guessing game until cured and ready to smoke.

I like my method cuz you dont get your hopes up to much. I tried just flushing and chopping without letting the soil dry first just got my hopes up and yeah i got like 25% of the wet weight. No matter how you dry and cure you'll end up with the same weight just difference in harvest methods will give you different wet to dry weights.

I cant wait for harvest pics buddy and it does suck cutting down your girls but then you get rewarded by smoking them so its all worth it sad but worth it;-)

I prefer a slower drying process.. the slower the better .. .. all preference ..still would be suprised to ever see a 50 % of wet weight .. unless you trim super loose or leave all the sugar leaves

But like you said.. doesnt really matter.. you still end up with the same finished cured weight.. Thats why I dont weight wet weight at all lol.. false reality ... :)

Flushing everything out of the plant before harvest slows down the fermentation process that's needed for a cure period...
