Ya I was thinking a little over a half oz myself. This bud is very airy but the nugs are much bigger than the other plants so its just I guess about preference.

Haha I like where you are going. I got about 7 grams of personals to keep me busy on this holiday and a few days after that to allow for drying and some cure.

Thanks for the kind words man. I made this thread to try and just display some issues that you might come across that you might not initially think of I guess.


I was pretty happy with the success of this grow. Yielding around 50-55g dry between the 3 plants in a 2 ft sqr area with around 200w of CFLs.

Im thinking about investing in a 240w Blackstar LED and run that in a 2'x3' area. Anyways later guys.

whenever you bring a plant to flower, esp from seed the high is like no other, there is nothing comparable to the high, NOTHING.

Grandaddy, is that 240w blackstar led enough power even for flowering the plants?

Ya i've been watching a few grows using the same light. The light system is very efficient because they spectrum is designed specifically for growing. They are good for 2x2 and up to 2x3 areas.

The bud is just about dry, I'll have the dry weight in the morning. I think the genetics and also CFLs made the buds airy, I knew it would going into the grow but HID was out of the question.

who knows airy can be alot of things dont really think its the cfls's tho if only you could see how dense my shit was last grow solid nugs

I think it was genetics cause my first plant was dense my second plant was medium and this one is airy. I think its the bud structure

Nicely done GD!!

Dry weight on the plant was 17 grams which I'm happy with knowing how well I trimmed.

20g+17g+16g = 53g of dried bud or a little under 2 oz. I'm happy. Spent about $125 for everything and received around $700 of bud.

My grows in the future will be much better knowing what I have to do. Growing LED most likely in the future, eventually might throw in a CMH but thats a bit down the road.

Thanks for the help everyone on their support through this grow. I'll post pics in a bit on the dried bud.

Not to be rude or lazy or anything but I have pictures of them growing throughout the thread pretty consistently and I'll randomly chop one.

The plant that I think i got closest to the perfect time was the sativa aka haze aka plant number 2. Which is my avatar.

Anyways thanks for stopping by man. I'm going to take pictures of the dried and curing purp probably monday I'm fairly busy this easter weekend.
