First official grow in progress!

I harvested one plant 2 days ago. I don't own a scale but I'll get one soon and let you know the weight once their done drying. Didn't get as much as I expected, let me tell you. But the other plant has bigger colas and I'm giving that one a full 2 additional weeks plus longer curing time. I'm guessing the first one will be a 1/2 oz. dried at most. My next thread will be Dutch Dragon grown right. The plants will be much fuller and will again be grown from seed. I'll give them less veg time, but more nutrients, better lighting, less heat, properly pHed water and good soil, as opposed to the beginning of my last grow. I'm starting germination of these seeds today and once I get my girlfriend's camera I'll be posting regular pics.

Yeah I made cannabutter instead a few days ago. It came out pretty well but I've been working a lot so I haven't gotten to test it. Smells dank though. Sure stank like shit when it was brewing!!! Anyway I got about 1 oz. dried from my harvest... guess my plants weren't as good as I thought. The weed is awesome though. It's in long time cure mode but it tastes better every day. I have 4 little clones that are coming along great. They probably won't exceed a foot but they are basically like 1 main cola per plant but they are surprisingly thick. I'm really kinda pissed I haven't got to add the "final touch" if you will to this posting with my harvest pics.... but what are you gonna do. I've already sold half of it to a friend and the rest is mine. Next grow will be primo strains from seed in primo environment. Hoping for some big hitters.

Thanks for hangin' with me...

Thanks VV. Well, here's post #800. And it's an update on my clones! Though there is no side branching, these little soldiers are about 6-8 inches tall and pretty much all bud. You can't even squeeze them they're so dense with bud. I gotta say these are looking great for how small they are and it almost breaks my heart knowing how good my first grow coulda' been! I'm doing a small experiment and I placed 2 of the 4 clones about 6 inches closer to the light than the other 2. I'm going to check back on progress in the next few days and see what, if anything, happened. I'm hoping they'll be larger, of course. It's killin' me not having a camera to share my progress with you! I'm really aiming for optimum results for this final grow of the Dragon strain. I have 5.5 pH water (pH up'ed after adding 2 tsp/gal of FF Tiger Bloom). The plants are in 1 gallon pots which are more than sufficient to hold these little ladies. Room temps are slightly high regretfully, but I can't really do much about it. Anyway, check back later in the week and I'll post the results of my mini-experiment.

Well the plants are pretty much the same as last time I saw them! haha. A few more red hairs starting to turn. I think it's too late for the molasses, I have about 2-3 weeks left. When should I be using it? Also, I didn't do this last time, but should I be letting my plants sit in complete darkness for 48 hours before chopping? And why do I do this again? Thanks.

Just kidding, checked the trichs and they were fairly cloudy. I chopped today and trimmed and now they're hanging in my grow room and will remain there in the dark for the next 5 days. Wet weight was pretty much dead at 2 oz.
