:) We'll see. This is further than I've ever gotten before so whatever happens I am considering it a good learning experience.

Rolling through week 8. Been busy so not very many posts, but everything is going well. I think I'll start harvesting in about 2 weeks. We'll see.

Waited this long for an update and we only get one pic of bud porn? Cruel, very cruel. lol I saw those plant support things at the store, do you like those? I was debating between those, the bamboo poles, and tomatoe cages.

I'm trying very hard not to cut it down and smoke it :) so I only look in on it when I absolutely have to. Out of sight, out of mind.

I like those supports when the plants are smaller. Though, they only go up to 36", so when the plant + soil go beyond that, the colas still sway when you move it around. I'm going to look into something more along the lines of tomato cages for the bigger plants. Something that wraps all the way around my plant or plants that they can lean on and be tied to.

Took another cola tonight. I'm not proud of it but it looked so tasty. Still have two smaller colas and two bigger. I won't cut any more off early. If I take anything more, it'll be the rest of it next week. My next round is pushin at the door to get into the big cab.

Some pictures of the Avalanche and it's colas, SuperBud and MonsterBud.

Looking good, there! Hey do the Monster Buds have yellowing on them, or is that just a bit of your HPS shining on them?

There are 1-2 original leafs that are yellow, but the majority of what you see in the pic is indeed the cabinet hps shining into the front left of the veg tent.

As I said, I chopped her today. Needed to make room for my next round. At the end, I had roughly 1/2 to 2/3rds of a plant to harvest.

Wet it came out to 84g or just under 3oz. I usually clear 1/3rds of the wet weight, so I estimate I got about an ounce after its dry. Probably a bit more than that if I hadn't been picking early :).

Anyways, I learned quite a bit with this and I thank you all for your help. I'll leave you with some cola pics, the haul after being trimmed from the colas, some pics in the dryer, and a picture of my SuperBud grow. Not sure I have the time to do a full grow journal on it, but I will be taking pictures along the way and will post results when it's complete.

Can't recall exactly. Since this grow, I've done SuperBud and MonsterBud from the same company and those went for 9.5 weeks. Turned out real nice. Things are so much easier the 2nd and 3rd time around.
