Hey...
The Plant on the far right is the super cropped plant. She is looking very very healthy. The cola stems are FAT and THICK. I'm so hoping to see fatter buds from this.. We'll see. I am stoked that I was finally able to get my 5 plant SOG reservoir under a light last night. Now the important thing is to get another plant the flower room no later than 2 weeks. 10 days would be better, and 1 week would be ideal. The next plant to come out is the the one in the middle in the picture. But, I think she's 10 days to 2 weeks outs.. And I REFUSE to harvest early. I just want to get my cycle down to where I am pulling one reservoir out of the flower room every 7 days (10 at the most), and replacing it with a new one from the veg room... I'm close to having that as my system....
All 3 plants in this picture are no more than 10 days apart, so that's a good thing!!! heheheh.
Anyways, just wanted to say hi to every one and post a quick pic.
Which reminds me, how are everyone elses grow's going??? Speak up!!! Let us know!!!! Place a link here for us to come check out what you have going!!! You guys know that I don't mind if you use my "journal" to post links and shit to your grow journals or photo albums... I'm cool with it... Lets see what you have goin on, friends!!!

Yeah I know man, huh!!! Hahahah. Yep, there are 5 plants in that one reservoir. If you look at earlier posts on this thread, you can see some pics I posted of when they were a lot younger and you could still see each one individually. I'm glad that they look so good, but unfortunately, the timing got screwed up. For this experiment, I wanted to veg the 5 plant SOG for NO more than 2 weeks. These went closer to 3 weeks veg. I didn't have a light available in the flower room, so I had to wait. Oh well, I guess we'll just see what 3 weeks of veg time yields, and then on the next one I'll make sure it only veg's for 2 weeks, and we'll see what that one yields. I'm hoping for at the least 5 oz's and as much as 8 if I'm lucky... We'll see though, bro... Thanks for stopping by Concord. I'll catch ya later, my friend.

hey guys. Well, all the plants are looking pretty kick ass. But tonight, the Super Cropped plant looked especially awesome to me so I took a pic of her. There's a few things I can say about her. By super cropping, she seems to be stronger/more sturdy. The cola stems are definitely much thicker than a non super cropped plant. They also stand up straighter towards the light and are going to be able to do a better job of holding themselves upright when they fill in with true bud mass. Speaking of, I can't wait for the colas to start filling in. They are already huge and lookin killer. This plant has about 7 or 8 perfect tops on it, and a bunch of smaller ones. it's going to be a big yielder for me!!!
The 2nd picture is what I call "left overs." That's what was left over from a plant I just harvested a few days ago... I need to stop being lazy and get the rest of those little popcorn buds off of her...heheheheh. Seriously though, check out the WHITENESS of the White Rhino strain. the THC resins really stnad out in that picture!!!! Beautiful stuff...
I hope all of your grows are doing well!!!

What's funny is in the beginning that's how I thought everyone did it. I never thought about flowering more than one plant under one light. hahahah. It just never occurred to me...
I'm glad that I am able to do one plant per light too man. But, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be doing 5 plants per light now. Well, that is 5 small plants in one reservoir under one light. I REALLY like the way my SOG grow is coming along. It's looking to me like that's the way to go. In fact, my plan is to do the 5 plant SOG in one reservoir and also incorporate the super cropping technique as well. I think this will yield the most weed with the least amount of veg time. I won't be having to veg for more than 2 weeks, and I'm positive that I'll never get less than 5 oz's per reservoir. sounds good to me!!!

Hey all,
quick update tonight.
The first picture I've attached is a neat one to talk about. What I'd like to point out is the fan leaves. Look at them suckers just reaching straight up for the light!!! That is one happy healthy plant!!! It's like they just can't get enough, and so they're stretching as hard as they possibly can to reach the sun.. hahah.
The 2nd pic is of my 5 plant SOG grow. It grew over 5 inches in ONE NIGHT!!!! One friggin night. That's crazy!!! I set the light where I wanted it last night, thinking it'd be ok for a few days. But NO! I had to raise it tonight. They are happy and doing well also. heheh.
In the 3rd picture, the plant on the right hand side is the super crop plant. She's coming right along. Big fat colas filling in with true bud mass.
I tell you guys, sometimes I really wish that we could all walk in to each others grow rooms and show off to each other what we have going on. Man that'd be awesome. I mean, it's truly hard to realize what's going on in my flower room unless you walk in there for yourself. So beautiful, so amazing. I'm a happy man. I love this hobby!! I'm positive that each and every one of you feels the same way I do....

There's actually 2 plants in the reservoir on the left hand side of this picture. And they're begging to be lollipopped. That's my protege/brother's job. He's slackin off, damnit. And, there's a few leaves on the tops of the reservoirs and on the ground too that all need to be cleaned up. Also his job!!! He's screwing with the master/student relationship. I'm gonna have to chastise him!!! hahahah. Seriously though, I just really like this picture. The 2 plants in the reservoir on the left are so happy. I can't stop looking at the fan leaves reaching for the sun... soooooo friggin cool!!!!

haha I still can't get over those stalks! Maybe a DWC tub is in store next year when I have more space, I'll probably even have a 400 i could dedicate to a shrub. lol checked the trichs lately? I even spotted a few amber myself and I've yet to see a hair mature. Expecting that to come next week though; love watching the plants change over time.

Looking excellent! You're doing great work! Man, my second grow was in soil and I killed 4 plants! Ur second grow andits like u were born to do this! I've got grownthree going right now. I finally started! Took 9 cuts total, the first batch of three are vegging, the second batch of three has roots on two of em, and the third batch of tree may not be needed since I only have 2 totes with 3 pots each. I'm going to fill tote number two either tonight or tomorrow and the pics will follow. I wonder what I'll do with my extra clones...... I can't imagine nobody wanting some XXX OG.
Keep up the good work S!

Yo S- lookin good man, any new updates? So your thinking the SOG is going to be the biggest most effecient yield? I think next grow im going to go with a scrog because i think it will allow me to maximize my cabinet space!Hey all,

But i hear ya man this truly is an amazing hobby and it def gives me something to look forward to, i dont think most people understand the effort and knowledge it takes to do this.. Working with my plants is honestly just as calming as being high for me.
Quick update on my status man, im 2 days away from being 9 weeks into the 12/12 switch and think at most i have another week, if that. Most tri's are cloudy and some are barely starting speckle with some amber. Couple questions i have for you as this will be my first harvest, How long do you generally flush before you chop? How do i know when the bud is dry enough to start curing, i dont want to under dry or over dry, ive researched this and cant seem to find exactly what im looking for.

Hey MP,
were you able to figure all this out. In general I do a two week flush. straight tap water, but I still keep my pH levels around 5.5. I do this because I assume that there is still nutes in the plants, and keeping the pH level constant will help them to finish using up what ever is left. I don't know if this is true or not, but it makes sense in my mind. heheh.
yeah, I'd say 10 weeks is long enough for flowering. My white rhino strain loves 10 weeks. NO LESS for them here. That's what I've learned, and I don't mind letting them go that long. I'm about to move one of the bag seed plants in to the flower room tonight. I'll take pics. It's fuckin huge now dude!!! I can't believe it's growth rate. It seems to grow 4 to 5 inches a night. amazing.
as for curing, well.... that's a hard subject. I personally just let my plants hang dry in the dark. generally it takes a week to 9 days. 10 at the most and they are as dry as I want them to be. I then take them out of the dark and put them in to a plastic bag. I close the bag, and then open it 4 or 5 times a day (basically burping it) letting out the old air and letting in new fresh air... This seems to finish the curing process well for me. I do this for the next few days, until I'm satisfied with the smell and dryness. A good test is to take a stem and try to break it. It should make a crisp "snap" when you do. That's perfect dryness!!! But ya know, there is so much literature on the web for how to dry and then cure your pot... I'd say just do some reading (tho you probably already have, know you), and then try some methods out until you find one that works well for you. I can say this: If done incorrectly, you will lose the beautiful smell that comes with well grown weed. I learned that from my first tries at drying and curing (I tried to dry it too quickly). Instead of smelling skunky, it smelled like fresh grass, or something like it. But not like pot. I like my weed to stink! My current method for drying and then curing seems to keep the smell, and that makes me and other people who smoke it happy. Slow and steady wins the race. That seems to be true for every aspect of growing good pot! heheh. Patience... it can be a bitch sometimes, but can also make all the difference in the world.
Good luck to ya bro. I'm sure that you'll figure out your method. You're a great grower!

This is my 2nd go around on my own. Like I said in the past, I lived with the master grower who taught me most of what I know. Though looking back on it, he didnt teach me all that much. I was basically just a laborer for him. I did all the bullshit work, while he did the important stuff. But I did learn some important things there... and every thing else I learned from reading the web, this site, and trial and error. I'm quite happy with my results so far though! Man, you should see the plant I started harvesting last night. It's by far the best one I've grown yet. The trichome production is unreal, and the size of the colas turned out great!!! I'm just so happy to be turning out such quality pot at such an early stage of my growing culture... I mean, from what I've read it's taken people years to turn out the quality of weed that I produce, in less than 8 months of grwoing on my own. And a lot of that success has been from talking with people like you and others on this site. The knowledge is invaluable. So I feel fortunate...
Take it easy man. I will have a good update tonight with lots of pics. I have some really great things to talk about and some awesome pics to show ya all!!!

Just wanted to also say sorry to you all that I haven't been around for a while. It's been a weird life going on for me, and it's sometimes been hard for me to get up the necessary desire to post an update... There's been some major changes going on for me, and it's been hard to assimilate it all, stay positive (when all I want to do is focus on the negative), and continue to enjoy life and the great process of growing weed... I have noticed that once I log in here though, I have a hard time not writing a post, or responding to other threads. I love this site. It's an excellent community and I'm happy to be a part of it. I'm also happy to have made some good friends with you guys... So thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read my posts, replying to them, and generally caring about my grows. It is appreciated and it's an honor.
