i could tell by how long the branches were that youd have to tie the whole bush up, hence why i use a screen, mainly for stem training but somewhat for support. looking very good though. i bet you pull off a decent harvest.

Thanks u really appreciate it.She's frosty and has more to swell...see a great crop in your future

Yes sir!
Yeah my next will be a scrog. This is awesome for now though.
I think two or three more weeks. What does everyone else think?
Any guesses on yield? She's getting thicker and boy does she smell. I also have two more plants in there.
These are from just now:

i really think its a matter of preference, i judge my harvest by the hairs. i usually harvest when they are about 50-60% red hairs. ive heard some people harvesting at 40% and also at 75% but i go about even or a just little on the red side.and i flush for about 3-5 days in the last week

Damn keif nice job you have done here. I really wish I would of stopped in sooner but better late than never right? I love thar cab you have. Ive always wanted one with glass doors so I could constantly drool over the plants without disturbing the environment well in veg atleast seeing as glass wouldn't be that great an idea for flower. Great job dude gl with the harvest.

thanks man. I usually go by trichs. I start flushing for two weeks when I see the ambers pop up but I haven't seen any yet. Mostly cloudy with some clear too.
Thanks for stopping by man. I have been lurking in your thread for a while too. Great job. As for the glass doors, I still have them but need them to be covered with mirrors if I am going to use them. This is stealth after all. That would be cool to see though!

So my girls parents are staying with us for a few days. Paranoia kicked in. I almost chopped them all down but then it clicked, its the same thing have a few ounces of weed hanging in the cab drying as it is to have them still alive in the pots.. Might as well let them finish.
To make it a little more stealth (you can hear the air noise when you walk in the room) I put my small media PC up on top and set it up like shown below-
The PC sits on top of the exhaust hole so when youre looking at it, even up close, it seems it could be the computer.
The Odor Sok does a decent job but these bitches fucking smell like a pile of baby shit and a small amount of smell leaks I am assuming.. But who knows, I cant even smell weed smoke around because I smoke it so much. Just to be safe, I tossed some Ona inside the cab..
Its all light proof and besides from the fan, shouldnt raise any eyebrows... Lets hope they dont suspect anything! Keep your fingers crossed for me..

i try to put something that makes noise on my dresser to hide the sound too like a computer or a fan or a humidifier. lets just hope they dont go in there looking for a shirt or something lol im always worried that someone will try to pull one of the drawers of my dresser out, id have some splainin to do haha are your girls parents anti-pot? what would they do if they found it? my girls mom was the one who gave me my dresser she might be a little surprised at what i did with it lol but dont think she would care

No, they are not anti pot, I just dont want them to know what extent I take it. I have some ounces in jars that I opened last night to blaze up before bed. The whole room still smelled this morning -_-
The first thing they said when they walked into my apartment was if we had been smoking, nope just 12 hours earlier.. LOL
They dont mind but its always nice to make a good impression and keep things out of sight... I am legal in California anyways.

lol awesome.. i had a close call with my landlord yesterday he had to come replace some fuses in the house, yes fuses....
this place is so out of date it doesnt even have breakers just these crappy fuses, so our pilot light went out on the furnace. didnt know how to light the pilot so we just used electric heaters instead. used two on one line and it blew, so i swapped it and that blew. swapped another and it stayed on but i realized that after my landlord told me that i had a 30 amp fuse on a 15 amp line and could have burned the wire and caused a fire inside the wall. ooops i wont be doing that again.
but anyway, point of the story, is my landlord was in the room and heard the sound of the fan blowing in the dresser i knew he was coming so i put a humidifier on top of the cab. he asked me what the sound was and i just pointed to the humidifier and said "its that" he said ok and continued to work unaware. LOVE IT!it passed the stealth test lol i seen ganjaqueen passed her steath test also. seems like were all staying under the radar

I chopped them yesterday, a week or so early.
Its okay though, most trichs were cloudy with start to go amber.
I got home from vegas last night and they all fell over. I tried to tie them up and prop them against things, but that was not working, fuck it. My parents fly in tomorrow so I figured now would be a good time to trim em up.
I got about 3 paper plates covered in buds and another 8-10 branches hanging. Looks like it will be enough to hold me over a while.

LOL, I am guessing around 2.5-3oz dry from all the plants total..
The amount I smoke, that should last me about 12 weeks time. I also still have about 1/2 oz from the club I picked up which will hold me over until a small cure on this..
Next round will be after XMAS, got some beans from a buddy in Poland.

nice, nothing better than a successful harvest (as far as growing). 3 ounce lasts you 12 weeks???? Nice! 3 oz's will last me all but 3 weeks LOL, and thats just with me only!

Yeah, I only smoke at night after work so I go through about a quarter a week. I am excited, Ill post some dry shots later on.
I sampled one bud that dried for a couple days, SUPER smooth, no harshness, very thick smoke and a nice lemony-OGish taste.. Didnt take a while to feel it either, maybe 2 minutes and I was grinning from ear to ear. Lately the OG I get takes about 5 minutes to kick in- maybe its because I harvested a bit early though. Very nice head high with mild body stone. YUM!

good to hear it went well, and yeah it prolly has a little more cbd content in it if it was a little early , but thats all to the good bro, makes a happy high like you said grinning ear to ear lol but im sure some of that delight is knowing that you worked hard on it and was successful. i always get a smile after a good harvest. especially when it gets me higher than some regular old bud and taste like a fine wine. i just kick back with a frosty bud and drift off into space haha

Yep, I had some more last night, pretty potent and just getting stronger, I jarred it up and will burp it for the first time when I get home from the office.
My parents are crashing at our place for a few days and I showed them my setup. They dont smoke but my father used to grow back in the 70/80's and he was pretty impressed that I could grow such fine buds in a small space. ALMOST got my mother to take a hit.. lol. They were pretty intrigued when I was teaching them about the PPM, PH, nutes and all that shit. My father said he got out when the hydroponics started getting popular and he liked my drain to waste system.
NEXT ROUND:
- Upgrading to a 250w HPS and digital ballast
- Getting rid of the Odor-Sok, shit sucks- my whole house stunk before harvest.. Only lasted a month or so but it could be due to the high humidity in the cab for the last 24 hours with lights off..
- SCROG - I will be running a full cabinet sized, U-shaped, SCROG next round as well.. This should help me yield more and not have my plants fall over from the weight, lol
