Master Kush scrog. 150w hps, 1 mini fridge, 1 seed. hydro - flowering PICS

well, the time has come. 70 days ago I put this plant under 12/12 lighting with a 150w HPS bulb. it's hard to believe this day has finally come. When I first came to this site about a year ago, I didn't even know it was only the female plants that produce bud. thanks to all the people who post here :bigjoint:

harvesting was a lot more time consuming than I thought, even with my relatively small harvest, it took be about 3.5 hours.

well, here are the pics! I've captioned them.

a view from another angle. the overhang of the screen is where the shelf of the fridge is.

a view from the underside of the screen

i tried cutting the stalk, but it was too thick and strong.

so the saw comes out


h9.jpg

chopped down. you can see the other hole that i covered up (used to be a male plant there way back before i flowered, it got the boot)

underside of the screen after the chop


h11.jpg

the roots, they got pretty crazy looking


h12.jpg

one of my larger buds (had quite a few of these!)


h13.jpg

after cutting all the large buds, this is what was left over. I'm drying these out too, i'll be making butter with them :)


h14.jpg

after it was allllllll harvested


h15.jpg

overtaking my kitchen. the long stack behind the phone is all buds, to the right of that is the under-canopy that will be used to make butter.

here are the buds laid out


buds are hanging up to dry now. i couldn't really get a pic of them hanging without showing you my whole apartment. but i strung out wire from wall to wall (about 5 feet). i had to do this 3 times to get them all hung up. so, 3 rows hanging up, each about 5 feet long. there was a lot more bud hiding in that screen than I thought, it was just a ton of bud stacked up on the table!

I'll be away for the week, but when I get back I'm putting the buds into jars for curing, i'll also take the dry weight then, and more pics of course.

in the end, this was a whole lot of hard work. I learned a ton, and I had a lot of fun.

THANKS EVERYONE! :leaf:
 
Just read this journal today. I am in AWE! Truly a work of art squeezing that much bud out of that tiny little space. Outstanding work for a first grow.
 
nice fucking job. sorry for the skepticism at first man. it all seemed to good to be true. but it is true. so you are the man . i'd rep ya if i could figure it out.:joint::joint:
 
Well played sir, and ye shall be rewarded with a bountiful harvest of the finest pipe-weed in the shire!!!!
Looks beautiful, simply put, the nicest first time grow i've ever seen!!!!!!
 
Your grow is looking really nice, if you poke holes in the leaves and tear the edges of the leaves it will make the leaves bigger. It should also make it more potent
 
ummm ya, never heard of this either, what is this method called if it really works? If its really a method it has to have a name right? Lmao where the hell do people come up with this shit??
 
I do not know the name of the hole poking and tearing method. I just know it makes the weed better and it makes the leaves bigger. The holes close up in the leaves then you just poke new holes. The best way to poke the holes is with a toothpick. The way most people do it is with forks but toothpicks work better. Also pinch off the pointed tips of the leaves, or cut an inverted triangle into the tips. The inverted triangle is better. If you cut the triangle the tip will look like the letter V.
I discovered a good way to stress it and turn spots on the stalk of the plant purple and at the same time shorten the height of the plant but get the same amount if not more weed. In this method you bend snap and twist the stalk. Then you wrap it around a bamboo skewer and tie it to the skewer with string. If someone wants me to mabye I will draw a picture of the twist snap method. Here is a pic I created in paint of what the leaf should look like before and after the hole poking, pinching/cutting, and taring.
