Haha . . . cool. BTW, what the hell are doing? Hustle your ass over there right now! lol
Yeah that was funny i was upstairs drinking a BL and my brother read that post to me. :-P My bro can't rush over here he is about 8-9 hrs away, if he wasn't I would get him blazed off his fucking ass! :bigjoint: For that matter if you were closer crypt we would be smoking too! How do you quick dry? I have seen many methods but none sound good. Most of them make me think they will take away from the weed/THC. what about a paper bag? Just wondering.

I've done some reading on it, and yes all methods will take away some potency. Thats why I wouldnt do alot, maybe a small bud, big enough to pack a bowl or something. Best method is to use dehydrator if you have one. One way is to put it in the microwave and run if for 30 secs or so. Check it and flip it. Repeat until dry. Another way is to set on your coffee burner, turn it every ten minutes or so until dry. Micro is fastest, burner takes about 30 minutes or so. Paper bag will take a day or two, maybe longer, and will hurt the potency more. Here is link for quick dry: http://www.marijuanagrowguide.net/Quick_Dry_Techniques.html

Ok guys here is 85% of my first plant. I was working on this pig for about 7-8 hrs cleaning it up. My back is soar and my neck hurts! LOL here are some pic's of my first plant drying out. By the way my hand is about 7 inches from the wrist to the tip of my middle finger, so you can see that my two cola buds are nice. this is a plant that I topped rather than fim'd. I am going to go shower and relax! Right now I wish I could smoke some of this shit for the back pain! :) Will take down the rest of the plant tomorrow morning!

Oh I had one question. I was looking at some of the bud and I cut one of the seed pods open and it had a brown lining in it. No seed just like it was going to make one. Is that normal? Do I have a hermi in there that I haven't seen yet? Just wondering.

That is funny you say that... I had something similar in my NL that almost looks like it was going to be a seed or something.. I was asking another grower and he was saying something about the ovary's being over done or something and i figured i just let mine go too long... by no means is my buddy a botnist or anything but i have no idea so i have no choice but to listen and think that it was logical.. but anyways i thought it was just a bad strain that i had got.. but that makes me wonder if there is indeed something with that NL strain all together? not sure.. i am gonna do another 2 that are from a different mother so we'll see if those get something similar... i still smoked the shit out of it and it gets me to where i need to be...lol
Looks great bro!!!! Good Job!!!!!

Thanks brotha! Nothing like your F'n NL but I am happy! I cut a few of the seed pods and nothing. So I figure it is ok just thought I missed a hermi or something. I will finish off the plant tomorrow and then move all my other plants around and give them a good look over to see if if there are any banannas growing. If there is I have another 8 hr day ahead of me chopping down a plant.

Yeah it was just my first grow jitters so i was freaking out! I will still look over all my plants and see. You don't know how good you made me feel that this may be normal. I was freaking the fuck out and my lights are out right now so I can't disturb them so I am just sitting here wondering if my ladies are getting polinated as I sit here. Trust me I am way more OCD or crazier than you! :) I am fucking nuts about my plants, I felt so bad cutting my first one down. I told my wife that growers build a connection to their plants when they take care of them for three months. She told me I was crazy, but I do feel a connection with my plants.

Nice ass harvest Stern. You def got your shit down bro =]
Thank you but I don't think I have it down yet. I still have allot to learn about growing, I feel that I am just lucky to have this grow come out this good. It is all about reading RIU and paying attention to your plants. I hope my next grow goes as well, if so I will think I have it down. RIU is the only reason I have done so well!

Yeah I have a bud in a paper bag in the drying room, we will se though. I don't want to take too much off the potency of the bud. I could probably microwave the weed and it would still floor me! I am going to dry it out slowly and when the time comes I will smoke it. I like my BL and that will keep me going till I get to smoke, I will be a one hitter quitter for a lil while. I have to wait till the wife goes to bed then hit that shit. I haven't smoked in so long I feel like a 13 year old comming home high! The wife doesn't care but I do. It is weird, I almost feel scared to do it now. Yeah I know I am being a pussy!

Here is a quick dry method for ya that I use to sample buds. Take a small cardboard box and cut a hole in the top left and one in the bottom right and take a small computer fan wired to a 120 to 12 volt adapter and attach it to the box. Use string or whatever you have to hang the buds on. I use a wooden skewer punched through the box to hang my buds on. Turn the fan on and in two or three days you will have bud dry enough to smoke.

Congratulations on the harvest.

Peace.

Thats a good thing bro. You grow to support your family, so not being a stoner will prevent you from smoking up half of your crop. Thats no shit. There are guys on here that could grow six plants a harvest and smoke every bud without selling a one. But I would not feel bad if I kept a bud or two for myself to get me by on rainy day (or a sore back lol).

Hey guys, today is a new day! I will be finishing off my plant today not much at all to go. What was funny and I am not complaining at all is that my little pruners were getting stuck together while I was working yesterday! I had to scrub them off 4 timese yesterday, geting that shit off is like scrubbing tree sap off! Hopefully soon I will have a dry weight of my harvest. I don't know if I am going to be able to hold onto it that long but we will see. Oh and crypt trust me I am going to keep a little behind for me, not alot but enough. When I smoked a few years back I would just take one hit a day! Just one at night and I was gooooood!

Thanks anyway guys no worries. I will have pic's for advice later on one of my plants. the buds look weird, they are real bushy with what looks like just a shitload of leaves and it doesn't have that many crysals on it. I will take a picrue of it later when I pull everything out.
