Starting a bit late but here it is.
Here is some history on the plant. I got it from a good friend it was a clone off his long kept mother but he went out of town for a few weeks and it stretched way to much for his liking so he threw it down to me for use in my first grow :blsmoke:. Plant has SOLID genetics and is true Tahoe OG. The other plant you see in a the back is some Bubba Kush but we wont be touching on that strain in this grow.

The room is a 1 1/2 Ft w x 3 Ft d x 6Ft t; cubby perfectly tucked away inside my closet its completly light proof and I have Panda Film Reflective tarp covering the walls and floor.

looking good man but you could prolly lower your light some if it's a 250
I can't until I get a little extra cash and can purchase the more pliable ducting my shit doesnt bend so i cant lower the light any, but what I will do is try to find something to prop the plants up with. Aha! Last years school books will not go to waste!

Girl is growing strong and healthy so far turning out to be very pest resistant as I found a ton of mites on the Bubba sitting next to her but not even one the OG. So far I have been using Hydroplex as my Bloom Booster but with next two feedings I'm going with Fox Farm Beastie Blooms for the Mid Stage of flowering. I'll let you know how that all works out.

Hey bro for some reason my old username was deleted no idea this thread was even still around um the odor is pungent but easily self contained it actually started to stink real bad during veg (I vegged for 1 1/2 months) but since it was my first plant it stretched quite a bit. I'm hoping for 2 oz but we will see. She is a fairly large plant and even though she stretched she filled out quite nicely. Here are some pics 6 weeks into Flower. I'll also send you a PM of my gallery.

So 8 Week update. Lots of white hairs and clear trichs. So I'm thinking another 2-3 weeks. Anyone care to guess what they think the yield will be.

You got like an ounce to an ounce and a half on that plant alone. Good job hitting the 2 gram per watt mark on your first grow.

Thanks! but I wish I were hitting 2g/watt I'm running a 250w HPS with only larger plants under it. 4 Ounces is what I was shooting for and that is .5g/watt I believe.

hey, smoking weed has been known to play games with ones math, but it seems that you caught my intent. .5 gram a watt is better than the .2's I see people bragging about at times. next grow will be 1 per w and it just keeps going up from there. good luck on future grows

The OG turned 9 weeks 12/12 as of Saturday. The Pistils are starting to all turn orange and recede trichs are mostley cloudy some clear no amber. I'm hoping I can pull her a week from this Thursday which would be almost 11 weeks 12/12. I'll post some updated pictures in a few hours. If I have mostly Cloudy Trichs do you think she will be ready by the 8th of May, because after that I fear I'll have been flushing to long.

So me and my wife were moving our new Veg cabinet that we built into our closet and next to our DR80. Well we fucked up and my reflector hood fell on my fucking girls :cry:. So basically a little under 1/2 the plant has been harvested a week or two early. Still looks good. Here are some Pics.
Wet Weight Trimmed is 106 grams.

Ah come on man, that was your first grow?
I dont believe it, you did everything right. :wall:

Not like mine man. Great job.
Ya know, you might want to let it go an extra week, let the lower buds bulk up a bit.
