it looks like your first grow went well man! why did you harvest so early??? Its all good .. i did the same with my first grow. But I did it because some of my bananas pollinated a few other plants. two turned hermie on me. But good stuff. my first was with cfl's it came out ok. but for next time. AND I WISH I FOLLOWED MY OWN ADVICE
. use some more lights if you go cfl .. you'll see a total difference.
i know how it is though. My first time i had no clue what i was doing .. just had cfls hanging from everywhere burning my plants ... this time i have more of a canopy of light but i still need to get some underneath . next time if you lst you should too ( if you go with cfls) good grow man (just hope you didn't chop cause you were impatient)

No, I definitely wasn't impatient in harvesting it. I really do wish I could have let it grow longer but here's the reason's I cut it now and not later: 1) I was constantly moving it around to new set ups, 2) I had it in my dorm room and didn't really wanna keep taking my chances, 3) I didn't have a bigger pot, so it was only in a quart sized pot. Also, I took the stem and roots out of the pot yesterday; there were roots on roots on roots. The roots had taking shape to every little indent on the pot. It was sooo rootbound it was unbelievable. I really wish I had taking a picture of it. 4) Its spring break and I go back today and I really don't wanna try to sneak it back in
Basically I was confined with space from moving it to different places and I couldn't transfer pots so I knew it wouldn't really get any bigger. All the leaves were really dying off from it being rootbound. And plus, it was a first, mainly experimental grow, turned out a lot better than planned and I definitely know a lot of what to do and what not to do for my next grow.
Ill get back to you on the weight though
But my grow this summer will be so much better. I'm sticking with LST since that worked like a charm, might trying topping it, and Im gonna get a 5 gallon pot. and 6 cfl's will work for a good amount of time for it but ill be getting more cfls and a 65w cfl too to place over top. Ill have 65 over it and have other cfl's to the sides lower down going all the way around it

Ok, well pictures dont do this plant justice as I said last night while taking pictures.... You guys cant see the hairs but theyre nice and orange/amber; and since this was a earlier than most people's, the high was a real fun, energetic high. This baby tastes to nice, burns slow and gets you high. Im happy with the results
For curing. Hung it upside down in a closet for 2 days, then bagged it for 2 and opened it occasionally. And kept switching for about a week. Let it sit out over the weekend while I was sick and it got a little too dry that it was gonna crumble. So i sprinkled water in the bag, added the bud for a few hours and they got nice and moist again and turned out to be a great smoke

Oh yeah. It was only a little over a quarter. I'm not complaining though. She's a great smoke and my friends and I am enjoying her, a lot
and this was pretty good considering everything that went wrong

lol, yeah not much but I expected that. But it was fun.. and actually. Came home from school this weekend and germinated some seeds.. Just planted two outdoor seeds somewhat near my house and soon going to plant two more seeds in this park area i know of that no one goes by. So, these outdoor grows Ill make a journal for but I'm going to let them do their own natural thing and in May when I'm home and done with school for the summer, Ill start my indoor grows.... Can't wait
