I'm a lightweight compared to most on this forum. I was called a "non-smoker" once on a thread, laugh!

I got couple bags of clippings in the freezer waiting for my micron bag to arrive. I'm going to make some dry ice hash out of it.

Hey, maybe I will smoke more knowing I can always grow more...kind of a nice feeling knowing that.

Can't say that I can give you any suggestions. The best grow I've ever had was pineapple express and you've already done that one! Maybe a Kush strain. Might I suggest a scrog + waterfarm grow. :D Join the crew. You should stop by my thread and check out my slow growing LSD.

Way to go Pro:clap:.........everything went good,everything looks good,DAMN GOOD!!!:).BUT......you shouldn't fill your cure jars all the way, 3/4 at most, you don't want to open them very often during cure process(2xday).The slower the cure the better the smoke.peace

Thanks, I ran out of jars, who knew! That's a great problem to have. I will pick up some today and spread em out some more.

I got hydrometers in a couple and more on the way. I want the best environment for these babies because they will be in storage for a while.

I teared up a little when I saw the jars. My hope was to supply smoke for the summer for me and my 2 closest friends...10 oz..I have 7 under a 600. You give me hope if I even come within 50% of your effort per watt...I should be doing alright.

Huge question for me...What was your RH during veg? I really would like to know if this humidifier is worth having running 24-7. I have it for about 60% RH..where my house Rh is about 25-30%. What did you do for RH?

Another huge one..how long did you veg? and on what cycle..24/7 18/6?

Your shit looks awesome. It looks like you pretty much had an ideal-to-perfect first grow!

Thanks man. Lets see if I can answer a couple questions...

Huge question for me...What was your RH during veg? What did you do for RH?

40-45% entire grow. Didn't do much here. I'm in Texas, rare to have high humidity. I took readings right from the canopy level and temps were always between 69-79 degrees with exhaust fan running 24-7.

How long did you veg?

I vegged for 4 weeks. I was really looking at height more so than time. They hit 20"-24" and I flipped. I used a 400W MH for veg cycle placed up tight only 10-12 inches from canopy. I had additional stretch at flower of about 5"-9" for a total height of up to 29". I used a 400w HPS up close again through flower.

What cycle..24/7 18/6?

Veg was 18/6 to fourth set of leaves then 24/0.


Good luck on your grow and I hope you hit your harvest goal.

To me, this is a great example that topping, FIMming and LSTing are not always needed to get a successful harvest with a good yield.

As we have discussed in other threads, I wanted this first grow to be as "natural" as possible. Organic soil, good HID lighting, clean water, good air flow, and organic nutes. That's it.

I didn't want to impeed any results with special trimming, bending techniques, or chemicals just to see what the plants would do on their own.

I find that if you leave things as close to an undisturbed state as possible, you tend to get better than expected results. Least that's what I've learned from being married for 13 years!
