Arjan's Haze #3 - 1st CFL grow

jesus, i just did the math, and i think im working with about 300 watts of CFL light... i thought i was only at 200... damn

i vegged for a month, and then its been about 2.2 months of flowering.
 
Hey, they are looking great, soon you will be done with a successful grow!
I was wondering about the odor, does it still really only smell like pine/lemon? Did you ever get or make a carbon filter?

Just wondering because I'm hoping to grow them without the need of a carbon filter, and if they really don't smell like marijuana at all, then I won't have change my whole setup, which isn't suited for one.

yeah they really dont smell like weed at all. its just smelled like fresh flowers essentially. my setup is so rickity that i doubt i couldve made a good carbon filter otherwise, so this worked out so well. so yeah, you dont need one.
 
just did a trichome check now. looks like everything is pretty much cloudy, with a few ambers popping up here and there (~2%). so i am going to let the soil dry out till saturday, then i am going to flush it with water+molasses (~2 gallons each pot). give it a week, and then chop em down next weekend. hopefully thats enough time to get rid of any fertilizer taste.... we will see.
 
are the buds tightly packed?

some more than others. all about light position, and when you have multiple colas, its hard to get a good position on all the buds w/o burning them with heat. id say half are on the lighter side, while the other half look like real dense buds.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but growing a sativa strain and to get the best of the sativa effect, wouldn't u want to harvest when cloudy not amber?

yeah, i agree, but i think in a week, if they change to amber at the rate they have been, i should get at most 10% ambers by next week, which is still pretty good. some of the buds still have predominately white hairs, so im trying to give them time to thicken up more.

ill upload some pics of the buds in the next day or two to show you guys what im referring to.
 
ill have to do a proper photoshoot when i flush them either tomorrow or the next day, but here are a few pics to gawk at :)
the additional nutrients and the extra week has realllyyyyyy gone a long way in terms of adding resin and size to the plant. hopefully when i flush with water+molasses, they really thicken up

Looking good. Did you keep any more seeds or clones or mothers. Would love to see you throw a 400W HPS at them on the next batch. I am growing a simular strain called Belladonna, and hope to have an sativa effect like haze 3
 
sampling a small bud i clipped a week ago, which should be 100% cloudy, or with a little clears. let you know how the smoke is.
off to the gym high :)
 
so pre-mature smoke review:
gotta say, the high was so clear headed, i could almost not even tell i was high by the usual standards: body buzz; feeling retarded etc. i just felt more blissful and energized, which translated well to the gym. i had music on, which sounded great, and i also increased how much i lifted and exercised. so im convinced weed can be a performance enhancer hahaha

anyway, i just barely smoked this stuff and i can tell its exactly what i wanted. i just did 1 bag volcano bag with my heat gun on the lowest setting to vaporize, and i only used probably 1/4 a standard bong bowl... so im harvesting at the right time i feel. ill get a little more body buzz since the plants are still going, but i think the extra yield and the insurrance that no trichomes are clear is worth the extra week i decided on.

oh, and it tastes great, even though i dried the little nug out way too much.
 
Thats looks really good. +rep. So you enjoyed the high?

thanks for the rep! yeah i really enjoyed the high. i barely,barely did any of it though, and i could tell its great for socializing. i hate weed that makes you ok with sitting on your couch instead of going out to hang with people. hopefully its characteristics dont change much with the extra week i let the plants grow.
