yes, me too!! molly needs help and maybe this will do it.

no, i didnt. i cut new bean when the lights were on the last day. so im hoping it helps molly out cause the smoke kinda sucks??? i know its right off the plant, but it just sucks, all the hype with the pink and shit and it sucks, LoL. its an up high but just real weak. now 2-1 on the other hand is a deep stoney lay back and chill buzz, i like it alot!! heres the 2 small buds i took today. molly is very light and fluffy and really already dry right off the plant. the 2-1 bud was a bit moist but dried quick enough to smoke it tonight and its great, very smooth, the tatse is great and its pretty good. 2-1 is the heavier bud in the pics. wish there was more of 2-1.
Sounds like molly just wasn't quite ready. A good rule is if you think it's ready, wait another week. I think you need to wait for more amber trichs from your description of what you were saying in another post. Hopefully all goes well with your current flush. Which plant are your clones off of? Molly or 2-1 or 1 of each? They are lookin good.

yeah, i think so. i need to wait just a little bit tho, maybe next thursday night, that will be day 93, i want to give at least 36 hours of darkness to get some more resin out them. the sooner i do tho, the sooner i can get the clones in the big box. the 2 smaller buds are almost dry already so im gonna give them a test in a bit, well not a test, im gonna smoke em, LoL.
Try & keep a sample of each plant before the dark period to compare the buds to see if they smoke better or if it's the same. I've had good results from a dark period before, lots of extra gooey resin that wasn't there before a couple days in a dark closet.

Just a suggestion, dunno if I made it before or if you have the space but you really should upgrade to a 12" pot when you transplant the clones, I think it will alleviate a lot of the issues you had with molly & your yield will be larger as well, which never hurts. :weed:

Nice well I guess we will both learn from your experience, then I will decide if I should do it lol..

hey rom, yes the the clones re off molly, there was nothing to take off 2-1. bigger pots are in the works, im gonna use the kitty litter bucket next time for the clones. kinda bummed tho with that. im very happy i did the clones, just wish the pink would have been better, still might be, we'll see. and yes, im gonna wait to see more amber trichs. i have the big bud from molly still hanging right now thats going in a jar to cure so i will compare it to the rest when i do the 36 hour thing.

Sounds good real interested to see how that all turns out man. It's all good cuz you are learning from your experience, your next grow is almost always better than the last unless unforseen dumb shit like bugs happen. As long as the bud gets you high it's a success but I've had nugs b4 that didnt blaze me like I thought they would so I know the let down you are goin through. Stayin tuned for the finish here, hopefully molly pushes out some more mature trichs & you get a better stone out of her.

reading that just gave me a killer idea!! a mini fridge from walmart is only $70, ok work with me here, you take the door off and seal it to the end/side of the double wide ghetto u-haul grand wardrobe box at one end, and bam!! an air conditioned grow box, think it would work? i would take 2 of the boxes like r2 said and cut most of 2 of the sides and connect the boxes for the double wide affect at $12 each. then duplicate my light system for $37, move some fans around and i would be king of the ghetto setups!! im so stoned, LoL.

You never get something for nothing..... the coils will dump a LOT of heat outside the box and the mini fridge will burn up within a few weeks.

Hell yea that sounds like a sick setup! I'm pumped for my 2 plant cfl grow lol, I couldn't imagine what that shit would produce!

Oh and CD what about a portable air conditioner. My friend just picked one up for 150 or something like that 12,000 btu's ! Thats what where using to cool that room with the 1000 watt hps that my SR is under.

Ya you're gonna need to install a whole central air unit for that 6000 watt room. I expect pics tomorrow!

if you like frig's, check out this thread, he has done it right! i dont think your idea will work, but you could probably find a mini, or full size frig for free because people have to pay to get rid of them. it is a thought, and oh so stealthy!!

There's just something so fitting about a "double wide" box for a nascar fan like yourself. Kinda like a trailer. JK. :D

its day 89 for the girls and i'll just be glad when this grow is done. the plants look the same, molly is just so dry. i cant wait to cut 2-1 down, dry and cure it, this will be some good smoke. the clones look good, man im just so bummed that there from molly tho. i can put them in the flowering box and finish them, or i could wait and hope to get the good seeds. not sure what i wanna do yet. the clones are 35 days today and showing preflowers on the upper branches so there ready to go. the big bud from molly is in a jar curing, it weighed 4.6 grams today, down from 7.5 yesterday.
