Thanks everyone! Yeah I still have that silly, self satisfied smile on my face, lol. I set out to learn to grow mj, and to have some quality product of my own making - and I feel I've accomplished both of my goals.
Still about a zillion things to learn, but hey - I know it's only getting better from here on out!
I did quick dry a small nug Saturday evening - couldn't help myself.
Cut it into small pieces, put it on a saucer on the heating plate for my coffee pot, turning gently every five minutes, for about half an hour.
For being fresh cut I gotta say - wow. One bowl had four of us high for almost 4 hours, no headache afterwards, just a pleasant, happy feeling for awhile. It really wasn't harsh either, save for a hit or two with a small piece of stem in it. So it should be pretty tasty once it's had a chance to dry and cure properly, eh?
Wanted to give you guys a weight today, but the buds, small though they are, are pretty dense - still too wet to jar.

The nugs look really good man. My first harvest was huge but smelled and tasted like shit so who fucking cares about weight. I would rather have 12gs of some good smoke than a QP of schwag. I think you did a great job.
FYI- Duct tape has yet another use.
For your next grow just use that HPS for the entire grow. You're on your way man.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, compact, sweet, and man, you would not believe how sticky they are.
Yeah I would use the HPS for veg, especially as I got the MH conversion bulbs for 'em, but I'm doing a perpetual grow, and I have a batch of Trainwreck going under in a little less than two weeks. Eventually I want to upgrade my flowering lights to 600w digital HPS and use those two 400w just for vegging. Have to wait until I can afford it, though.

Really? I thought you had some that were closer than that?
Burped and stirred my buds this morning, and now they have that typical sweet hay smell. That's perfectly normal right? Doesn't mean I jarred them too soon?

Yeah they will smell odd in jars for a bit.
So long as they dont smell more like eggs, then that's mold, but hay is far from so your fine.
