I was looking at the Bubba Kush and you are right about the leaves man they do look strange but they are so f-ing big and plump that is def going to be a couchlock from hell lol! I also use Attitude for sure they are bomb. Also, the freebies are cool even though they are strange name brands shit some of them look gorgeous on the website so I am happy with the seeds. Thanks for the complements oh shit how is the LST going I seen you were doing that. I have never tried it but looks interesting to say the least. Is it for more yield on the side internodes or just because of space issues?

The lst is going good so far man.. You should look into lst its really easy and if done right you can greatly increase yield.. I'm using the lst method for both of the reasons you posted.. Cfls do a terrible job of penetrating through all the leaves, so the cola will get a lot of light and lower budsites won't get much at all.. Tying a plant down really gives the whole plant a good even amount of light..also, it really promotes growth. And while all of this is happening, your saving room in your grow box giving you more time to veg!

yeah man i dono what im ging to do to keep the temps down when summer comes around !

hey man, one good idea i've heard (if you can swing it) is to flip the light schedule so it's on during the night. that's probably what i'll do in my summer grow.

Yeah exactly man...I ordered 5 bubba kush fem seeds from the attitude and they sent me 4 freebies..
- one "amnesia"
-one "power skunk"
-one "king tut"
-one "osiris"

man i don't know if it's the same lineage as what i'm growing, but amnesia is one awesome strain. i've been smoking some recently and it is one of the better sativas i've had. super uplifting euphoric high. highly recommend it.

by the way, just my opinion, but if you can already see amber trich's, i think becky is ready to chop!

hell yeah bro thanks alot for the input.. you think becky is ready? i dont see a shitload of amber but they are scattered on the buds.. still got some clear trichs and mostly cloudy..think ill give her a few more days atleast..

 

[homer371]

yeah, from what i've been reading, ambering is a sign that THC (good) is degrading to CBN (bad). (note that this has nothing to do with CBD-couchlock which is a strain-dependent thing). so it seems that for maximum potency you wanna chop when it's mostly cloudy and first signs of amber. which is pretty much where you are right now.

got all this info from a good source (user bricktop) on smellytreez thread. very legit info.

awesome man.. i really appreciate it., guess shell have to come down sooner then! will update tommorow., should i let it set in the dark for 24 hours before cutting?

 

[homer371]

yeah the 24 hours should help increase resin. good luck with the chop bro!

Oh i didn't even think about that, i actually did that for my current grow, just opposite of what you said, on during day and off during morning hours

 

[lee harvey]

i have my plants sleeping during the night, wish i considered the above post before as well.., temps prob get real cold during nap time., but oh well, what can you do?..been 2 days since i last posted pics of the 2 babies.. gonna post some pictures up tommorow. stay tuned my dudees

Ooh, I'm excited to see how Becky smokes. My little DWC plants are finally starting to grow a little, along with their soil sibling, and I'm totally jazzed that your kids are right around the same age!! Keep it up, bro!

hell yeah meta.. she smells really good and looks even better.. your plants are lookin dope kid give it a week and they will be starting to blow up.. specially since its DWC.. thanks for the support brotha man. will rep once it lets me

hey man, I'm just posting here so i wouldn't step on arch's thread( i don't know him that well) but to answer your question: yes, spraying down my grow box does increase my RH. this time of the year mine is about where yours is. 2-3 times a day i spray all the walls and floor and the plants to. i get about 10-15% more RH. my grow box is 3' square but the principle should be the same in a pc box. plus just keeping an open bowl of water in the area or in front of the intake will also help raise RH significantly.

 

[lee harvey]

Very usefl info.. Thanks brotha appreciate it

 

[lee harvey]

alright boys so here it is.. chopped Becky today and she is lookin dank., my scale is messed up so i cant take a wet weight.. probly gona yield right around a quarter.. most trichs are cloudy with hints of amber in most bud sites., thanks to all of the RIU homies for all of the support, it is very appreciated.. leaves dident have alot of trichs but i saved the trimmins anyways ( the ones nearest buds anyways )... enjoy

 

[stoneyluv]

harvest time!! that is my favorite time!!!!! congrats on the chop!!!

Thanks bro..can't wait to test it out

 

[homer371]

congrats lee, nice harvest bro! how are you drying? very important step... hanging or on a rack? you wanna shoot for a 4-5 day dry by keeping humidity around 60% if you can, complete darkness of course, and a tiny bit of indirect ventilation. that's what i've learned.

Hey thanks homer. Becky is hanging upside down in the pc box drying have the fans on still should I turn them off? maybe ill put a piece of duct tape with poked holes over the vents so it really restricts airflow but still gives a little.. Its in complete darkness and will be for atleast 3-5 days. Thanks brotha

 

[homer371]

yeah, i wouldn't have the fans directly blow on her. basically they shouldn't "sway". some air flow through the box is good, but it shouldn't be windy. holes on the vent might work, but make sure it doesn't get too damp, and if it does, make more holes!
