I've never sold bud Chad, no money in it. It's all a ploy of the Peat Moss Industry (PMI) to create a global drug war to drive growing bud indoors in order to drive up demand and the price of peat moss. I'd go into more detail but they have people everywhere. I've really said too much already but I refuse to be their pawn.

I give bud to a family member and two friends, all three have medical problems that are helped by marijuana. I think I'll be taking on a fourth for arthritis pain after Christmas, but I have to grow out a few good pain strains before they'll be of much help.

Before I came to RUI I could barely supply myself and never had cured bud, now, with less wattage lights, supply 4 people and have 3 liters of cured bud. No thanks to the PMI. Bastards.

Browsed through Your thread - it inspired me to try Your training method, as I want everything to be low on heights.
There is one thing that confuses me all the time - how much really is one gallon? 4,5 liters?
I found two kind of - USA and UK gallons.

The US has 3.785 liters per gallon and we in Canada use the Imperial 4.546 liters per gallon.

.

"At one time, the volume of a gallon depended on what was being measured, and where it was being measured. But, by the end of the 18th century, three definitions were in common use:


  • The corn gallon, or Winchester gallon, of about 4.405 L,
  • The wine gallon, or Queen Anne’s gallon, which was 3.79 L, and
  • The ale gallon of 4.62 L."

From that I can understand that You grow in 22.73 liter pots, thats correct?

And thank You for educating me! :)

Correct.

And I was educating myself as well, I always wondered why the States had a smaller gallon than we did. I thought it was so the oil companies could screw the poor bastards out of more gallons per barrel, or something to do with relative per capita penis size and that's as biggest gallon that they could get. But that's OK because a lot of women like smaller gallons, much easier to handle and store them. Almost like the gallon is not there at all, the women can think about the rest of their day while dealing with the gallon. These old world different types of gallons makes almost as much sense.

A US gallon is about this big:

"of course canadian gallon is superior"

LOL!

I've always wondered why we have different size gallons when we're neighbors, or why even the Brits had a different size gallon. Now I know why our gallons are different. Weird though, that there are 3 different definitions of a gallon.

The pic and joke from above were from South Park in case anyone doesn't watch that show.

I'm harvesting the large Kali Mist in the morning, 91 days (13 weeks) of flower, down from 18 weeks in soilless my first grow. Different growing style, Fox Farm Solubles, and keeping the plant healthier. I'm chopping in the morning and will hang/bag/jar for as long as possible before getting into the bud.

It smells heavenly. Spice, not a bit of marijuana. An iced whitish green hue with the green of the buds reflecting through the cloudy trichomes. The harvest window was fast, it seemed to go from clear to 1/3 amber within a few days. Very, very easy plant to grow, tolerant of grower mistakes - letting it wilt, drowning it, that kind of thing. Big producer, this plant should give 3+ liters of cured bud, could be grown in 16" x 16" and is 14" tall at the highest cola. The tallest colas themselves are 18", 19" & 24" but they're bent horizontal part way up the colas. Kali Mist has always been a big producer for me, of the kindest possible bud.



This is a single stem plant (not topped), the cola on the left is the main stem cola. The taller colas on the right are from the base of the plant, those branches always get the advantage with CCOB grows, the become the main colas.



I used a metal tomato cage ring to keep the branches up and the center hollow (no mold) I hadn't gotten into branch/cola training when I put this in flower and the colas were going every where, blocking each other. The tomato cage solved the problem, they all got relatively equal light.



I curled the taller colas in towards the open center to lower the height and to get more light on the sides of the colas, now horizontal.



A really nice view, the colas are dense and crusty.

Two are at 7 weeks and smell like jelly beans, one has a very strong smell from several feet away. It's going to be interesting to see if there is a difference in potency of high type.

The Pandora's Box really is surprising me, potent, tripy and makes everything hilarious. Very nice strain.

How far along are yours' Smokin'? Mine are starting to frost up and the buds are building, not huge buds yet though.

Hey Corp!

I'll get about 3+ liters of cured bud from the plant above, I've gotten between 40 & 110 grams per liter depending on the strain and hydro/soil. I don't weigh any more, just go by volume. I hang for a week, bag for a week, then jar until I use the bud. I weighed the bud (40 - 110 g) after a 4 week hang/dry/cure - Strawberry Diesel, Kali Mist, Flo, Bubblegum, I've never weighed them wet.

How is the CCOB training coming? Did you top of go with one stem? How long were the stem(s) when you put into flower? Any sharp angles in the stem or did it bend OK? How many days did it take you to train? Did you train the branches once the stem was horizontal?

Can't wait to see pics!
