Nice buds
Molasses is always a good idea. I agree, those plants look done though. Any longer and you would be getting serious couch weed.

Although you wouldn't have to add more MG if you wanted to grow longer. Molasses has plenty of nutrients the plant would use. Also even a plant grown with just soil and water will produce fair sized buds. It's not like it will die if it doesn't get it's MG, lol. Next time give it some organics during flowering, bra.

yeah except I used MG in place of other nutes.. sure you can plant in regular soil, except you'd need to add your own nutes. I will try the molassas though next time.. I've read several people who recommend it.

from everything I've read and done it works...but of course it's a bit of the anthropic principle, by that I mean each plant is unique, so if you do the darkness routine and you get a certain level of trichs and development, it's not like you can go back and try it again without the darkness and see what the outcome would be...actually I think that would be heisenburg's uncertainty principle really, where you have a cat in a closed box and you ask yourself is the cat dead or alive? Well, until you open the box to see, both possibilities exist, the cat is both dead and alive. Once you open the box and verify the cat is dead or alive, there is then only one posibility...ah fuck...forget it...light up instead!!!! :hump:

You didn't get what I said before Goodlovin. It's possible to grow weed with just soil + water.....that's it.

There doesn't always need to be some kind of fertilizer or nutrient being added in order for the plant to survive and bud. It will do this just fine on it's own. People add nutrient and ferts, to make their buds 2x, 3x, 4x, larger. So you're plant wouldn't die if you let all the MG drain out for a few days. it would start using trance nutrients left in the soil, or suck nutrients out of it's fan leaves. These are both things many people want their plants to do anyways, so dont worry about not having any MG in the soil for a short period, the plant would be fine.

So here are my final results..

Although I mostly used the BFL as my guide, I did take a few suggestions from the folks on here. Thanks to everyone for your help!

I differed from the BFL book in the following ways:
  • I used clamp lights instead of the fixture the book outlines.
  • I gave the plant an extra week, harvesting at day 75 instead of 68.
  • I kept the lights off for 48 hours prior to harvest.
Curing was five days in the closet and am currently drying (burping the container on a 24hour closed/12 hour open schedule)

Smell: Piney yet sweet. There is an herbal sweetness to the odor that reminds me of jasmine pearl green tea. Very pleasant.

Taste: While I noticed just a whisper of chem taste, my wife who is a daily smoker says it's just me and that it tastes great. Overall I have to agree that it's certainly very acceptable.

High: I'd say because of when I chopped the high is 80% heady, 20% couchlock and incredibly potent. Maybe I'm a lightweight or something, but 3 hits lasts me for an evening. The strongest herb I've had in many years.

Final trimmed harvest weight: 2.25oz from a single plant.
See my attached pics. I think I did pretty good for my first grow. :bigjoint:
