Have a small Norwegian vintage cabinet which I split into two sections. The area for the flower is approximately 2 1/2 feet wide by 4 feet tall.

As far as LEDs I am using the Amazon famous galaxy Hydro LED, 300 watt non dimable.

I am between week 1 and 2, check out the photos below, follow and feel free to ask questions.

Seeds: Moxie Viper City OG feminized
Container: 3 gallons
Nutrients: see picture

Looking good, how long did you veg for? I Have a grow journal going with the Galaxy Hydro 300 right now too. Very impressed so far, but I'm still only less than 3 weeks into flower

I vegged for about 1 month, yes I'm super impressed. I used it on the tail end of another grow and (literally last 2 weeks) and was so impressed! I'm gonna check out your grow now!

I got 3-4zs off one in spring i flowered outdoors in compost. Haven't tried it yet. Been curing for a month now. It got frost bitten when i took it outside the first week. Definitely could have been a bigger yield. I lost the hole top 3rd of the plant.

That's a very good yield considering the frostbite. How's the smell and density?

Density is ok. It's on the chunkier side of average haha. Buds were a foot long before i cut them down in size and very sweet.

Here's some photos from today's water! The smell is incredible, I've grown a lot of grows before but nothing compares to the smell this baby gives off! I'm so excited for the harvest


Top View - the canopy is pretty even

Here is the side view, still trying to trim the inside as I want the plants focus to be on the top canopy

Height- This one shows the height, it's a full 3 feet. I do notice that the 300 Watt Galaxy is having trouble penetrating the bottom branches, not necessarily because it doesn't have strength but due to the fact that the leaves produce so much cover that no light can actually get to he ground level.

Flowering closeups- they look Better and better!

Just switched to final flower booster Mother of all Booms, before I go to straight water the last week and half

Just did a plain water feeding so I thought it would be a good time to post some photos. Unfortunately the plants grew up into the LED for a few days so two of them have a tiny bit of bleaching other than that it's all good! Majority of the buds are 2-4" away from the LED with two of them grazing the glass of the LED

i have about 12 clones of this plant from spring. I'm mainlining them now becuase i noticed the plant had sooo many side branches. I had to stake them to the ground because the main stem couldn't handle it structurally.

It's crazy how many side branches it grows! I'm thinking next time instead of a circular pot I may use a retangular container to help with side branching. Overall I'm really happy with the growth and have already sprouted two more seeds this week.

Questions for you, when you last grew it how long did you cure it for?

Day 46 Update! I woke up to the most amazing jasmine smell. I've already started the flush so that may have caused the smell change but it was very welcome. Anyways here's another obsessive shot as I count the days to try this beauty

Hang dried for two days then paper bag dried for two weeks. It lost too much moisture and although has a great powerful smell of honey and cream, it lacks lots of it's potential flavor. I account this to the hang dry part because it was outside and obviously i should have jarred it sooner. Definitely get that 2-3 week drying speed if you have space. I'm a noob still, just like 4-5 years of gardening under my belt.
