It's filled out a LOT more in the past week (now on week 4) and the buds are properly growing through, looking for a late june early july finish.

Stay Frosty!

Harvested my plants and I am drying them. I have a question about drying. Do I dry them till the stems snap off clean or just till they crack instead of bend? Also is it better to dry a bit less then paper bag for a while b4 I jar it or do I just go ahead and jar when it's dry?

Here is some pics of the harvest, not sure what my yield will be I am guessing around 20-25g each. The tray the finished buds are in is a 13x9 brownie pan to give some perspective. What do you guys think? Appreciate any comments or criticisms so let em rip! Thanks guys, Peace

SLACKER awesome bro!!! You gotta give me some pointers on Scrog dude!!! +REP for your harvest!!!
I think you have a OZ off the picture 5 plant...you don't want to dry til they snap, just bend and cracked. After a few days you can put them in jars just remember to burp them daily for the first few days to allow excess moisture to escape..great job!!!

here's some bagseed i got going on right now. the 4 in the 2 gallon bags are about 25 days old maybe. the ones in the solo cups are going 12/12 and staying in those cups. Hoping for some nice big single colas at about a half ounce each from those. thats just my hopeful dreams though. The older girls were started under some cfls, then moved under the 250 mh. Today is day one under the HPS 250

Ace man your girls are looking NICE!! What do you ha e between the light and the plants? How much does it help with heat and would you say that it is preventing any light from reaching the plants?

week6 flower. some of the trics are getting cloudy. definitely like the topped plant growth better than the fimmed one. also i underestimated the importance of veg. next run will take longer but hopefully will have a full canopy.

Thanks bud :) I got a pice of plexiglas in there and it works WONDERFUL. My temps were a 102 in my tent with the room at 85deg now it's don't get over 91 in the tent even when it's hot as fuc in the room. I love that thing :). And nope I don't lose light because I keep the glass clean. I had it in there for a week now and my plants still growing so I guess it's cool. It's summer here so if I take the glass out it will get too hot and my plants will die.

Thanks guys. The strains were strawberry double dutch and blackjack. The blackjack is the purply beefy looking one. So far the double dutch is finished drying and is jars, the black jack is taking longer, only about 1/3 (mostly the popcorn) is dry.

Before curing the double dutch weighed in at 31.9g. Not sure how much more weight it will lose but I should be around 24-30g on this.

The blackjack is still drying and I expect it to be around 4-8g heavier than the double dutch.

On this grow I did not veg long at all. I flipped when both apex tips penetrated the screen. The next grow should hopefully start in the next couple weeks and I will use slightly larger pots and longer veg time. I want to scrog some sativas out this time but I am having trouble finding clones so I will probably do a mostly sativa hybrid like trainwreck or OG kush.

Ill post final weights soon. Peace

Well even though my grow is over my yield is getting bigger! Apparently when I weighed the double dutch I forgot the paper bag with my biggest tops in it. :eyesmoke: The new weight on the double dutch is 45g and the blackjack is 41.1g. All in all much more than I originally thought so I am needless to say a very happy camper.

Thanks for the comments guys and I am looking forward to sharing my next grow. Peace

Yeah ace that's a good idea I've heard of it before but never seen it in practice. I'm having temp problems too and have thought about adding a piece of glass or plexi. Cool tubes aren't an option for me really. You think I could simply hang it from the lights reflector? How much space do you have between the light and plastic?

Hempy I'm guessing the one on the left is the fim and the more symmetrical one is the topped one right? why do you think the one plant grew so lopsided.
