Cool thanks alot. I guess I should not add anymore nutes since I will probably harvest in 2-3 weeks. What do you think is that enough time to flush properly.

I've seen most people say to start flushing about 2weeks out from harvest.. From what I've read most say not to flush sooner then 2weeks just to make sure the plant has sufficient nutes to finish flowering..

Final flushing is always good IMO. I think you give it the best chance to taste the best it can that way.

Just been feeding water now and I think I may take her down tonight. If there are seeds they may be premature but I think I still need to take it down. She is about 50% amber trichomes. Not looking quit as good either, never got really purple but that is probably my CFL's fault.

I started my final flush yesterday. The tall one should get chopped down in 5 to 7 days. The little bushy one I am guessing 7 to 11 days.

The other Bucket is the cross breeds. The one in the very back right is just a pollen catcher( what ever made it on the hairs when I turned the fans back on). The one in the back left is a Blue Streak that I pollinated with Purple Jem pollen. The little one in the front is a Blue Streak that I pollinated with MiniThunderfuck. Weeee this should be fun.

Thx for letting me hijack the thread a little, and lets see some piks. lol

Peace out

Very nice. Looks much better than my first harvest, and your plants will do nothing but get better looking from here on out.

I use the sun blaze T24 (2' T5 4bulb light), and I use a 50W UFO and 28W panel light. For side lighting.

Don't think it was notable. Yeah we try to keep the cost down. As best we can. Still have to have the smoke come out good. But shouldn't cost a ton to do it.

cool it would be nice to not see an electric bill go sky high. Since I have never grown before is it normal for the plant to start smelling much different when drying?

If it's a good smell yes. If it's a bad smell no. If it makes you go "YUCK" you should be looking for the mold to trim off. Other than that you should be ok.

its good not bad just pretty different smelling. I also noticed the last week or so it did not smell as much at all. Just wondered if that was normal. 2 days hanging to dry and it still feels kinda damp.

Well it has been haning around for 3 days now. Still seems kinda damp to me so I moved it to a warmer location and let it hang some more. Just for fun I threw it on my wifes diet food scale. It weighed in kinda damp at just under 1/2oz which seems way to heavy. we will see once it really dries up some :)

here is a pic of bud near mountain dew can for comparison. Probably can't tell from pic but I think it may be dry enough for putting in a jar for a few weeks. I know someone said to snap a branch and it just breaks it is dry for curing. I don't really have any stems or branches except the root part at the bottom. I did break off a little piece of leaf and it crumbled. Do you guys think it is ready for curing?

I may be hurryin a little but curious as to how it will work for me. Got it in a mason jar now and I think I am supposed to open it and let it breath a couple minutes a few times a week to cure. Does that sound correct?
