Hehe. I grow for the hobby of it but I like variation. If I had my choice and there were no plant limits I would grow damn near 12/12 from seed or 12/12 from rooted clones. High plant counts and short run times = more strains I can fuck around with. I would LOVE to start legitimately breeding and to breed you want fast fast cycles - 3x3 trays with 12 plants per tray would equal a ton of fast generations and genetic swapping potential. Hell, it would be nice if they upped plant count just so that I could keep a few dedicated mothers.
yeah see i wouldnt be interested in all that. i guess everyone is looking for something different out of thier hobby :)

So I'm totally blown away. Massive changes every day. They are ~85% brown haired today versus the 40% a day or two ago. The larger sativa is totally turning purple which I hadn't expected at all. I'm thinking I might just have to give it a bit of extra time to let the purple penetrate into the calyxes more. But then at the rate they are progressing maybe I won't need to wait - wouldn't that be nice.

So planning on cutting the front most plant which looks the most complete on the first. I just did an actual estimate by counting and adding all buds on the plant and my estimate is 91 grams or 3.25 ounces. Much higher number than I expected to reach but as the largest plant it corresponds with my 9oz estimate on the total yield. After I cut it I'll take a bunch of picture of it hanging by itself - would be fun if everyone threw in an estimate on yield - I would say the closest gets a prize but I have no idea what I would give away.

Sounds good as a total. I'm thinking we guess on each plant though, or at least the first one. I'll take pictures of it separately post cut/trim.
That makes a bit more sense, been a long day here, first day back in the office after 3 off so I had to go all out when I came home.

sweet thanks bro, you should think about making a how to for BHO I'm a newbie and i don't want to blow myself up haha
any advice would help
Would love to help more but there are plenty of youtube videos that cover it better than I would. Just make sure to spray/evap outside.

and estimate after you give us pics of your cut?
Yup, that's the plan. I'll strip fan leaves, take a pic, trim them, take a pic, hang em up, take a pic, and from that we get to guess. I estimated my total at the grocery store for my xmas food shopping - I ended up being $0.04 off! Sooo close considering the bill was in the hundreds. Some times I'm dead on with pot estimates and sometimes I'm all over the place; I guess that could just mean I get lucky now and then :)

reminds me of my old tube. :) Copper works great as long as you clean it out real good - I forgot to do that one time with my still, blah nasty tasting stuff. I hear the stainless steel turkey basters work wonders as well. Crazy how many people can't DIY something - of course this is coming from a person that ordered a big glass tube :)

lmao.. well if ya didnt have enough time to make it u had to order it lol.. i used a stainless turkey baster and it worked good.

i clean mine out pretty good after. but this time i did some it turned out tasting real green. i used it fresh off the plant. it was even green not honey looking. guess i need to wait for it to cure.

I saw someone with one of those crazy high tech $5000 butane extractors and he was running fresh material. The end product looked really dark and super different than what I am use to but I bet it tastes amazingly different. What differences did you notice? I wonder if a post extraction cure is necessary when using uncured bud.

my finished product was green in color. the taste was green as hell. i used mainly small buds. but it was from my og kush which wasnt very potent. people bitched bout the quality. she has been irradicated from my garden.

when making bubble hash i used dry leaves and bud real dry. and the finished product turned out green. and a bit of green flavor but just a hint. no one but me noticed the flavor but everyone seen the color. prolly seen it from ur house. lol

4 days till cut... This is killing me. Be prepared for a ton of bitching in the next four days. I'm damn near out of the crappy bud I have and I'm getting sick of smoking BHO nonstop. I need my bud! My own organically grown amazingly frosty tent bud! Now! lol. I'm already sad thinking about all of the uncured barely dry bud I'm going to smoke while waiting for the rest to cure.
