I never weighed, but from the 3 jars, about 9 oz at least. Was quite tight for space as the plants were in veg for 4 weeks in mid summer (sunlight - so fairly vegged out) so lower bud site were not developing too well when i put them in my cupboard. these were fem seeds and a couple hermied, have cloned the non herms which was my second crop with the headband and kush (the football!) I was expecting double the crop. my new plants i have lst'd and cropped. will have a folder up soon

Did you give it time to warm up?

It's suppoesed to be a mix. He called it LUI/something. It was givin to me as cuttings.

5 plants. I'm sure they veged too long cause they were root bound in 1 gallon pots.I had to pull a bit early too cause of too much hight5 for the space. Thanks for the comment.

hey question for you. my plants are showing nice hairs but when does it actually start to show the buds? im a noob obviously and its my first grow so Im just curious when i should expect to see something like this. I'm 3 weeks into flowering about but my hps has only been going for like 3 days so far. So maybe soon?

Hello all, this is my first post about my first grow, I have written this 3 times now and I hope my pc doesn't crash on me again!

I started off with 3 random seeds (I got out of a few baggies) , germinated them and planted them.
I used regular soil from my garden and just plain ol' rain water, (and theres plenty of that, being the UK!) with a just a few touches of liquid miracle grow now and then.

They have been growing in my sunlounge. (which acts like a green house).
Unfortunatly I do not know the strains of these 3 plants but I can tell you that one plant had a real hashy, earthy smell to it when flowering but when I harvested, the smell turned to a citrus like smell, kinda like lemons, not strong though.(the smell i mean) the smoke on the other hand was pretty good, it put me to after a few aha!
This plant also sort of died when 'vegging' so I quickly induced flowering and it sprung back to life! No shit!
It was only about 15-20" tall and did not produce alot at all! This did not bother me though as I got to see how the plant works and its life cycle etc..
The other two I left to 'veg' for a while longer.
After finallly getting enough money together I invested in a grow room and now the other 2 plants are kickin back in there. They are growing under a 400watt HPS light, a 4" extractor fan, a 4" filter and a 7" office fan. They have been getting on very well aprt from one of the plants is alot bigger than the other and burnt a few of its top leafs on the heat from the light!! Damn it!
I will upload some pics I have and then I will be starting my new grow, 'GHS Big Bang' but properly with organic fertilisers, E.C , PH readings etc..It would be a novice grow diary..will be interesting! aha! This will be in the new year tho as my dad is coming back from canada for christmas and I don't think he would be impressed!
Thanks for taking the time to read through this.

Oh and if anybody see's any strains in the pics they know please let me know as i have no idea! The smaller of the two smells like blueberries, quite fruity and the other (burnt leaf one) smells like...it smells like.... like dog shit, for real man! First 3 pics are the ones still flowering in the grow room, the other 3 are of the little one that has been harvested.
Thanks again,

Peace.

Here is a himilayan gold two weeks after i turned the lights to 12/12.
It depends on alot of things when they form buds and how big they get.

Love those frosty buds. Makes my mouth water.

Thanks, yeah they are looking sort of like yours. I am officially in the 400w HPS club now. just to let you guys all know. I have a 430w HPS hooked up right now. Currently experiencing some heat issues but nothing too too bad. I just need to keep my closet cracked. but its very not stealth at all and will be looking at more ways to make it stealth in the near future. Just have a little cash flow problem at the moment.

Journal is posted in my Signature. Check it out if you want if no one does i will just start posting my pics up here of the set up.

Happy growing and stay up all!

yeah i just looked and its a PL lighting systems hortilux 430w HPS light and ballast. Heres some pics of it in action!








The plants look fucking gorgeous under it I love the yellow color. And the light is the brightest I've seen. Shits on my cfls. I dont know where I'd be without this baby!

Tell me what you guys think.

Oh yeah and up next is a DIY cool tube!

It feels good to finally be in the club. I went out and got me a 400watt sun system galaxy electronic ballast along with a cooltube. I really like this setup.. its kick ass. I have my lowrider on 20/24 light and will be bringing it down to 16/24 tonight. Heres some pictures... hope you enjoy... this is my second profesional grow so any feed back is welcomed

Any ideas on how much this will yield? Also, i paid 375 for the ballast, cooltube, and light bulb. Is this a good or bad price?

Looks good do you only have one plant under that thing though. step your game up man hahaha! what were u running before?

and im jealous of your cool tube too! i wish i had one how much was it?

I got the cooltube for 100 bucks... it was 130 but he cut me a deal. It not only freakin looks tight but its small enough so i wont bump my head on it when messing with the plants. Theres only 1 plant under it right now. I had a 150 HPS above that plant until last night when i set this up. So i havent been able to see any changes yet but im imagining that my buds are going to start poping out like tasty nugs. I didnt want my plant to get this big but it did. Its an autoflowering plant so i left it on 24/0 lighting for a while and didnt think about putting it on 12/12 to convince it to start budding.

EDIT: i had 3 plants but one died after a week from seed and the other i choped a week ago because it was male
