Arjan's Haze #3 - 1st CFL grow

ahhhh yeahhh! so i just flushed with water at about pH of 6.3, added molasses, and gave one plant 2 gallons. i have 2 gallon pots, but i added so much perlite and sand that almost all the water drains through. probably will be dumping out 1.5 gallons.

going to do the other plant today when i buy some more water since brita filtering is a pain. same drill

future plans: probably going to do one more watering, say next wednesday till water comes out of the bottom. im hoping this is enough water and time to get rid of the chemical taste.

D@mn, that looks great. How is the smell? I just can't stop staring at your buds.

smell is wonderful. smells like pine and lemon grass. no hint of skunk or cheese

yeah ive only seen the tops of them, but i didnt realize how far down they go. im hoping to get 1.5 ounces dried from 2 plants. i would be elated to get that

did you top these plants? if so how far into the grow did you top it?

just did low stress training which forced multiple colas. never done fimming, and after this, i doubt i would try it since no stress is caused from cutting the plant with LST. seems like they both get the same outcome.

here is the other plant. just did a 2 gallon flush with pH of about 6.5 with molasses. hoping they fatten up more during this last week also, but ill be totally content no matter what. so excited. just one more week till harvest!

dont have to be tidy to grow

Nice looking buds my friend.! Can't wait to see the smoke out come. Flush once with tap water and dry, and cutt them down. If you cure it right, the flavor will be the same.

HOLY HELL DUDE! ++++ REP for the kick ass journal! Ur buds look amazing- that's all I can say........
I'm fixin to start a CFL grow of my own....... Probably gunna lay it out in my closet-- added up I'll have 12,500 lumens for my babies....... I'm not doing any particular seeds, just some bag that I have saved up from some decent bud I had in the past.......
I can only hope that mine will turn out as beautiful as ur have!

Thanks again for the journal, I know I'll be takin alot out of this one for sure.....

Again +++ REP to you!

I can't wait to hear what ur dried weight was and what the smoke is like!

i really appreciate the kind words. yeah i am surprising myself at how well this grow has been going. ive tried my best to document everything that goes on so that others can learn from my mistakes, as well as the methods i do

if you got any questions, just shoot me a message.

2 weeks ago, the plan was to have cut and harvested everything by this weekend. now thats its arrived and i already decided to let it go an extra week, i really made the right decision. wouldve made the classic mistake of harvesting too early on a first grow.

i say check the trichomes on all your buds (or enough to get a representative sample of the plant) because i came to find that some buds would be all cloudy, with a few ambers, yet other buds would still be 75% cloudy and 25% clear. i looked at a few buds that still had clears and re-arranged my lights to help them turn. i found that buds that had trichomes turning at a faster rate had a lot more light hitting them. so the buds that still needed the trichs to go all cloudy i gave more light to for this final week of growing to help make sure i get that up high im looking for (by getting all clears cloudy), as well as slowing the rate trichomes turned amber on the buds that had more light previously.

so me and my room mate got baked off this stuff (the little sampler bud that was ~90% cloudy, 10% clear) on friday, and immediately i was a little ball of energy. i couldnt help but bop up and down to the music we were listening to i had so much energy. and it was all very clear headed. didnt feel foggy or anything. then we went out and drank some wine at his sisters place and conversation just flowed easily.

dunno if its a unique instance, but im hoping thats how the high is every time, cause it was so ideal. i never really get to experience this since most people you buy from have indica plants, or they let the grows go longer so that the buds have more weight, but have more amber trichs.

moral of the story, grow your own so that you have complete control of what kind of high you want

Glad to hear you like the smoke, sativas are a good smoke if you are going to be active. Smoke a lot of haze though and the clear heady up high can become confusing (forget a lot of stuff, lose your train of thought, ect.) and almost psychedelic very cool smoke. Make sure you make a little hash from the trimmings too poutineeh I made a bunch of bubble hash from my haze harvest and the high is probably best described by Jimi Hendrix in "Purple Haze" .

Dude, that is exactly how I feel Braw! That is why I can't wait to smoke my own sativa shit, I want this energetic high and clear headedness. I'm growing Belladonna which is close to what your strain is, but I want to grow Arjan Haze#3 next along with Kali Mist which is about as closed to Sativa you can get. I love having the power to pick our seeds and for the type of high we want to try or continues to stay on everyday!

yeah i am definitely going to save my trimmings. how much are bubble bags? i dont think i would want to spend more than $30 to make hash, so i was thinking about doing the honey bee extractor

wow, way to be scientifically astute! Even though it may not have been replicated (but I do suggest looking into it in your next grow). Observation is a wonderful tool when used and it rewards those who use it, + rep.

Hi poutineeh nice job dont this haze 3 take 14 weeks in flower it should look a bit more like this when ready

yeah this is easily the best way to get what you want out of pot. there have been times i have really thought about quitting because i had smoked some crappy weed that was heavy indica and then stayed in because i would get anxiety about going out into crowds when all i wanted to do was sit on my couch. so being able to grow a sativa like this is a blessing.

i cant wait to give a full write up on the smoke in 2 weeks time. just wish i had it ready for thanksgiving, but it will be nice to go on vacation and come back to the nugs finishing their first week of drying.

I cant wait for the review. i also love sativas, my fav. How tall did yours get?

Yeah oil is a lot different. Bubble bags can run you a couple hundred bucks, they are well worth the long term investment though if you plan on growing more. The hash they produce pays for them quick. The other option is to make your own with silk screen at an art supply store, you could do that cheap.
