Thanks cannon. Not bad for a complete noob huh? Well I at least I WAS a complete noob haha, now I'm only a partial noob. I've learned a ton in just a couple of months time, mostly from this site.

Not bad? :-P Not bad indeed.
I've learned some from this too, and still am.
I still can't believe it's only been like under 2 mos. So much water over the dam and all.
My opinion of AFs has taken a 180 deg. turn. I'll not talk ill of them ever again.
My hardest lesson so far is "time", there simply isn't much wiggle room for procrastination. :leaf:

Harvest pics :smile:!. Here's my tiny 60DW. It's surely dank. As soon as I started cutting she just exploded with this smell, it reminded me of fruity pebbles. She's SOOO resinous. I got a nice little hash ball off my scissors. lit that bitch on fire and was soon sky high lol. Anyway, here she is.
Setup
Soil: Sunshine Mix organic soil
Nutrients: Bloom Blood and Cal+Mag pro from Greenleaf Nutrients
Lighting: 150W HPS 20/4
Pot: 16 oz party cup
Water: Tap filtered through Brita pitcher

Fuck yeah guys! Napa, that pinkish shade is great, can't wait to get the smoke report. Hitman, your girl is fat, real nice.

Thanks for updating in the prefered format! I had completely forgotten everyone's conditions, so yeah thanks.

Zen, I'd like it if you posted pics. It'll be extremely helpful if you do, I know I personally want to see a seeded auto. And that idea for a SOG is great, if I get my current girls seeded that's going to be what I'll do for sure, SOGs are where it's at!

Pre-update;
Sorry folks, got tied up today.
Just looked and she's as full now as she was before pruning!
Guess I'll just need to go again.
Update forth coming. (soon)

But, I've probably got 2 to 4 weeks to go. I'm not leaning on the 2 weeks and while I'm preppin' I'm working on 3 weeks to cut minimum.
At a point I'll be shocking and attempt to put her into a high regenerative mode (death wish).
After, I'll be trying a different dry/ cure that a old timer told us about at a wedding about a month ago that got me to thinking.
Looking forward to the update, but what do you mean "high regenerative mode"?

I think I've got at least four weeks to go :/ I still have about 95% white hairs.

Okay, official check-in for this week.

Ugly Betty DOB 9-24-2010. Dinafem Road Runner Feminized AF. Grow period 65-75 days. That would work out to a 12-3-2010 (+/- 5 days) expected harvest date. 3 weeks left to cut? I'm not so certain of that, but....

Water - (city) Tap water airated w/ pump & stones for 24+ hrs. at room temps.

Lights - Started w/ CFLs, then MH, then HPS, back to CFLs, presently 70 watt HPS and 2 23 watt CFLs for side dressing.

Zen - I've no idea of end weight yet. 3(?) weeks to go. Buds are light and airy now. Don't think they've really taken off yet. I'm hoping for at least a 3 finger bag. ;-)

Hitman - thanks. Just beginner's luck. :joint:

So the lights went out yesterday and I got bored so I decided to takes dozens of pictures in the dark. I was also totally wrong when I said I had 95% white hairs. And yeah, I know I can't take pictures for shit.

I'm at about 8.5 weeks in, I don't quite remember but I think she popped out of the soil on 9/20/10.
light: air-cooled 400w hps 18/6 cycle, temps 65 low, 82 high
soil: organic mixture (promix, FFOF, kelp meal, EWC, lime, soft rock phosphate)
nutes: two feedings so far with tea made up of soft rock phosphate and kelp, a couple of microbial inoculates, also one foliar feed application with Tiger Bloom early about three weeks in.
