Going Big: New Year, New Grow! 600w DWC tent

That shit is a myth created by stoners who like making things harder than they need to be. Curing is what seperates decent bud from amazing bud, not starving your plants.

Truth!

You're harvesting in waves right? Looking dank so far.

Also how close to Old Town do you think we need to be? Less than 3 miles? We don't party 4 nights a week anymore, but we're also not senior citizens. Ahhhhh fuck spammers and scammers on Craigslist

Yeah, doing this in waves since there are stragglers and I've got the time to make sure it all turns out quality. My friend and his brother are coming over today to help trim, so I should be able to make a substantial dent in what is left to trim.

The closer the better to old town but you want something within biking distance at the very least. I live on the west side of campus and get the best of both worlds...road 34 within walking distance, old town bars within biking distance. Too bad I don't normally drink....

Chopped down the donkey dick last night!!!

It took forever to trim and didn't turn out as weighty as I expected but I think its still pretty awesome.

The cut!


Yes, I'm a pothead (and sporting my sweet shirt from the 'tude)

After trim


Maxed out my other scale, had to use the postage scale HA! Final wet weight - 164g

man that is one large strangly shappen nug lol but none the less super dank. congrats with your first dwc. gunna have to spread a lil rep for ya budd.

peace

That 164 dry? Lookin really nice dude

I wish. I only chopped it last night, its still hanging in my tent drying.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Ah, I saw it on the scale so I figured it was dry perhaps. So is your tent empty or are you drying your buds in there with the lights on?

I was just weighing it for reference purposes. I'll have some sort of idea how much it'll weigh when dry.

The tent is still full of plants. I haven't completely harvested a single plant yet because the bottom buds still have to finish up. I dry the buds in the tent since it has great airflow and odor control. They aren't directly in the light, so they'll be fine.

I also have yet to cut any of the white widow or kings kush since they aren't ready yet. I think the KK is on week 9 or 10 and WW is on week 7 or 8. At the rate the other strains took to finish, I've still got a while still. The WW is still pushing out white pistils like nobodies business.

Gotcha. How many days are they taking to dry for you?

Most of the 1-2g nugs take around 4-5 days to dry before I can jar them. This monster is going to take probably a week. The tent humidity stays around 50% so its ideal for drying at the right speed.

Congradulations on the grow kid. Shit looks like some killer.what kind of nutes did u use ?

I'm not a kid...but thanks for stopping by and commenting. Should be a good smoke in a few weeks after being in the jars for a while. I used Humboldt Master A/B, Ginormous, and CalMag.

I finished harvesting the LA woman today. Took so long to trim since the bottom buds were so leafy. I pulled off another 5.5 ounces wet and when calculated out assuming a 75% weight loss to drying, the total amount pulled off the single plant is a touch over 3 ounces. I'm celebrating with knife hits of scissor hash. Should put me right to sleep tonight.

The fruits of my labor


The sad little plant stripped of her buds

man seems like everyday you are harvesting sooo much dank. so how many oz's are you looking at all together? and i guess another question, is this all going to be personal or is some gunna be sold or given out? i think a stash that large would last me a year lol. i was doing the math and i buy an 8th a week so roughly half o a month. congrats again man. wish i could grow legally like you are. keep it up bro

peace

Are you going for a reveg sick

Yeah, it seems like I'm harvesting every day because my friends aren't always there to help out with the trimming and it takes FOREVER! All of yesterday was spend trimming those buds since they were so leafy and popcorn like. I've still got so much of the TW left to harvest, I haven't even touched the Kings Kush, and the White widow and LA woman clones are a few weeks away from ready. I'm thinking about starting a harvest journal thread to document the journey since I still have quite a ways to go before everything is chopped and trimmed.

I need to sell some off in order to pay for the setup but I want to keep most of it for personal use. I consume about an ounce a month (but probably more now that I'm swimming in it), so I should have plenty to sell and keep. I want to stay legal and sell excess to the dispensaries but the street offers a higher price, so I'm tempted to unload it on my old hookup. I'm not going to consider selling until I know how much I have total and by then, the bud should be nice and cured.

Haha, I was wondering if someone was going to ask me that. I might have attempted it if I had the room in my tent and wasn't moving out at the end of July. I just don't have the time or space and the buds don't look that amazing that I want to try growing her out again. I took 5 clones that are almost done, so I can get a little more bud out of it if necessary but the seed was free and the genetics aren't anything special. She provided what I wanted, now she's out in the dumpster.

Dude I'm pulling for the reveg too! It's way faster the 2nd time around cause the roots are already there. Slap that bitch back in veg for 4 weeks then flower her again. Bam! Mad oz's after 3 months

If you're going dispensaries (which is still technically illegal) better do it quick cause the new laws they passed are making it 100% illegal to sell to a dispensary if you aren't one. Dispensaries must also produce 70% of what they sell with the remaining 30% coming from other dispensaries or registered caregivers. To be a caregiver that can sell to dispensaries you're going to have to get a special permit and report all income. Basically all the grey area that was there allowing us to sell excess is being hammered out.

Will dispensaries actually follow the rules? Who knows. Will the same government that is unable to currently moniter all the caregivers/growers/mmj patients etc be able to manage this new system their devising? Doubtful. But it's definitely going to be harder to keep it legal once these laws go into effect. But like you said, the streets offer a better price

I hacked the roots off with a saw to get all the hydroton out of the net pot, so revegging isn't possible. The genetics were kind of crappy and she took forever to flower, so I don't even want to grow it out again. Too many good strains out there to be wasting time and effort on a subpar one.

Not sure how much time you'd actually be saving since it takes a week or more to get new growth going again.

Yeah, I heard about this law. So they are making me jump through hoops in order to get low-balled by dispensaries that turn around and make stupid profit off my hard work? Fuck that, I'm selling this shit on the street.
