theres a harbor freight store like a hardware store (don know if those stores are everywhere or what) but they sell scales for like 10 bucks and they go hard weigh like 500gs or somethin or i think that dude concord gets some scales online for the L.O.

i go mine off amazon for like $5 its pretty neat. i hear radio shack has some decent ones as well.

it's a good size. you should keep your lights at least 3 inchs away if your using cfl's. i switched to 12/12 on day 16 i did this because a cfl can't penatrate a plant any bigger than 2 feet. keeping the light so close will help the plant from stretching you'll get bigger buds and a bigger yield. I've done this before and depinding on the strain i got 3 oz's per plant. and my plant was only 23 inch's tall.

2 to 3 weeks of flowering
12/12 from seed..... i keep my cls closer than 3 inches away, more like half an inch.... on my next try ill be more experienced and have better results.... thinkin about starting 4 plants indoors under cfls and then planting them outside once theyre about 6 inches tall..... what type of light schedule would be easiest on the plants as far as transitioning to outdoors?? ill prolly be lookin to plant them outside sometime in mid-june

I'm gagging to know how the peel turns out, it'll work better with some strains than others for sure. Temps are warming up here, gonna need extra extraction at this rate, getting far too hot methinks, up to 90F today

so after you hang dry. stems almost snap, you jar em up with orange or lemon peels? just curious as to how you do it, wonder what else could be used

the orange peel is adding a really citrus taste to the buds....... i had heard of it before then Charm refreshed my memory and since this is my first grow, i said fuck it, why not give it a try!!!
