I'm learning a lot. There have been a few speedbumps, but I hope to put my new knowledge to use on the next grow. That's what we always say, huh?

I can't wait either! I chopped off a side branch of LA Woman last week and dried it. With no flush and no cure ... I've still got a sore throat! I'm pretty sure I'm coming down with something though, so I can't blame it all on the smoke. I didn't smoke anything this morning and my head is all stuffed up and my glands are ... I'm getting sick :(

Tonight, I'm going to clean the res and load up the FloraKleen for a 4-day flush. Saturday, no lights and no water. Sunday, choppy-choppy-hang!

SOOOOOOON! :shock::weed::o:joint::hug:

Monday night I cleaned the res and refilled. This time, I pulled all of the stones and instruments and rinsed them too. I need to do that at least once a month.

Tuesday morning I dosed the barrel with FloraKleen and H2o2. I will run that for 4 full days (thru friday).

Friday night after the lights go out, I will unplug the lights and the water timer. The plants will sit in the dark, with no water, until Sunday morning (36 hours of dark). Then when the lights would normally be coming on, I'll go in and CHOPPY-CHOPPY! :lol:

I'll chop the fan leaves and hang the plants to dry inside the tent. I've heard that you're not supposed to dry them in the same room you grow in, but I never heard WHY, so fuck it. I've already got fans and the dehumidifier set up in there, so I see no reason not to use it. Of course, I will NOT be turning on the lights during drying.

I'm taking the power bill out of my name, and putting it under someone who qualifies for the CARE program (cheaper rates with no tiered pricing). That week that the lights will be off will be perfect because I can have the meter reader come out and he won't see the dial spinning like a nascar rim.

NEXT GROW UPDATE:
I received 11 OG Kush clones from my friend on monday night. They're pretty well rooted in rapid-rooters already. I put them in 4" rw. I've got a mix of seeds I started a few weeks ago. So I've got 19 babies going in my closet right now. They will stay there for another week and a half, until the room is ready.

I plan on vegging for 3 weeks (under 1000w MH). Closet time doesn't count imo. I will super-crop them once a week or whenever they need it. Last time, I vegged for 5 weeks but I only had 8 plants to work with. This time I'm going to run more plants with less vegging. I probably won't run all 19 plants, but we'll see how it looks when the time comes. I don't want to over-crowd them, but I don't want to waste space either.

I've taken a few pictures of the babies progress. I will create a new journal for them when they go in the tent. This journal will close after the bud-porn shoot and a good smoke report (after the cure).

There's no reason to not dry in the tent, other than not being able to clean the tent while they're drying.

I personally like being able to control the heat and humidity while I'm drying.

I've dried a couple side branches over the last week.

SEEDS! :shock:

Every bud, so far, has a seed or two!!! WTF? Is someone in my neighborhood growing dude plants? How can this be happening?

I have not seen a single ball sack in my garden. HOW THE F? :cuss::cuss:

Not that I know of. So far I've only found seed in the A-Train (3 plants) and the LA Woman (1 plant). (the 4 plants on the left side of my tent)

I haven't found any in Lemon Skunk (1 plant). Knock on wood.

I haven't chopped any Blue Hash (2 plants) or Blue Fruity (1 plant). So those are undecided.

It's still ... :cuss:

I didn't get any pics last night. Everything is yellowing because I've been flushing for 4 days. The lights went out last light for the final time. They'll sit in the dark tonight, and I will chop and hang tomorrow.

I'll get pics of them hanging tomorrow.

I'm guessing 2.5lbs dried. My friend (grower) thinks it's closer to 3lbs. I will soil myself if I get 3lbs!

I have a sinus cold right now so I haven't been able to smoke for about 5 days. I SURE hope it's gone by next weekend cuz it's gonna suck if I can't smoke while I'm trimming. I love scissor-hash. :)

I've got 19 started, but I don't expect to flower them all. It felt like 8 was a little under used. I don't want the plants to get as tall next time, so I'll veg less time but add more plants. I'm thinking 12-15 will be optimum if the plants are shorter.

I've got my fingers crossed too!

I'm reading good things about Coco Cior, so I'm seriously thinking about switching away from Hydroton.

I germed 5 a couple weeks ago... none popped. I just put them straight into RW, so I'm blaming myself for failing to do what I know works. I had one left over so I put it in a cup of water. It popped like normal, and it's growing now.

I grew 3 a-train last time (drying now). I'm not super-impressed. But I'm not disappointed either. The buds are about the size of coke cans and pretty solid. They're shrinking up 50% at least. No smoke report yet cuz I have been sick and I can't smoke for about the last 10 days.

Overall, I'm disappointed in this whole crop. Yield will be around 2 lbs +, but a couple plants had some powdery mildew on them. That fugn sucks! Also, there appears to be a few seeds in there. More than I expected! Probably one or two seeds in each bud.

Does the process of making bubble-hash remove powdery mildew? I would prefer using the bud for butter or something vs selling mildewy bud. It's not BAD mildew, but I know it's there. It just pisses me off.
