Harvested the hempy bucket plant today, it hadn't gotten any fatter over the last 5 days, so i figured it was time.
not sure how this will dry, might be a zip when its all done...maybe.
its nice and sticky, and smells like lemon peels with hints of skunk. think it'll be good, just wish it had filled out better.View attachment 3836414
coco and soil still have maybe a week to go, i'll post a dry weight for this plant in 4 or 5 days

Nice Roger.

Final yeild weight guys for the 3 plants total was 125.2g (4.47ozs) so just under 1.5ozs per plant. The bud still smells like lemon pledge with a slight hint of sweetness. Overall it was an ok yeild. Haven't smoked any yet so i can't give a smoke report at this time. Also though i would metion that the buds turned out smaller and less tight as photo strains i have grown under my LED's.

I started chopping my plants today. They finished quicker that I thought they would. Went in this morning and they looked done so I got my scope and was very happy with the trichomes 90%milky 10% amber so I started the chop. I didn't have time to finish as I am hosting Thanksgiving dinner and we have a ton of shit to do but the buds look nice and thick after trimming. I think even though they stayed short they will have a pretty good yield. There were buds on the branches I cut that are about golf ball size and some even a little bigger. And there are buds on the main stalk all the way down to the soil. I have yet to cut the main cola of either plants yet but the stickyness and smell of the buds I cut was impressive. Seemed very skunky to me. I'm not picking up any lemon scent like some of you guys are. Mine are skunky, OG Kush smelling. Pics and wight to come once I get some time. Hope everyone has a great day!

Did both of you that harvested record total grow time??

Surprised to hear people pulled up the plants before letting them finish even if they arent the biggest yielders. My plants are looking great, 3 of them are filling out so well they are just going to be one fat cola. The 2 that were stretching and I bent over will give 14-16 thumb size nugs each aswell.

I very much appreciate what vault did for us here, there service, fast international shipping that actually made it to me and wasnt caught, and a 100% germination rate will have me checking out there inventory and deals for sure

from the hempy pot plant i got 26 grams, mostly dry, so it'll probably end up about 20-22. not impressed with the amount, but i do have to say its good. took the larf and let it dry good by itself, not bad. nice flavor, some lemon, some skunk, some spice. and i've got a nice buzz, pretty strong back of the head things look far away kind of buzz. not bad from popcorn. the cured buds should be pretty damn good.
letting the other two go for another week or two. they look done, but really hoping i was impatient and missed the swell, and these yield a lot more

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American growers! I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and have a wonderful time!

Tomorrow my Skywalker starts flowering! I will be changing out the bulbs tomorrow and will take pics and post them for your review. You'll see what I have done with this plant so far. It looks funky, in comparison to my C99 cross. It's basically a stem with a ton of foliage at the very top of the stem. It looks to me, so far, that I may end up with multiple colas, so hopefully my haul will be marginally bigger than the average but time will tell. I pinched some of the main stems that are showing what I want to call pre-flowers so maybe that will cause a rush of axiom throughout the plant and make it grow bigger/better/stronger. Anyway, I hope all is well for everyone and wish nothing but the best for everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! Hope you all had a great holiday and be careful tomorrow, no need to bull rush people for a $20 blue ray player lol. Anyway I have some ladybug porn from my aphid infested eggplants. They had a good long growing season and now I have them outside as a house of ill repute for ladybugs to fornicate and reproduce. Enjoy!IMG_20161107_090631048.jpg IMG_20161107_090616112.jpg

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Here are the pics of my Skywalker that I promised. Notice on some of these pics that the right side of the plant seems to be missing some leaves/branches. This is because I sprayed it with Axiom and the plant laid down on the soil and I didn't get to it until the next day. This has never happened to me while using Dutch Pro. Score one black mark for RX Green Solutions. Otherwise, you can see in some of these pics that it is starting to spit hairs.

Thanks for looking and feel free to leave comments or criticisms.

Since I installed the HPS my temps have increased ten degrees or so making the average almost 90. At what point should I panic about my tent getting too hot?

Canopy temp or air temp?
Click to expand...
I want to say air temp. The thermometer/hygrometer is shown in one of my most recent pics. I have it set on top of a dragon statue that sits on the floor underneath the light, next to the plants. The light is about a foot away from the canopy; which might be too close but I'm using a cool-tube so I thought that I would try to get the light as close to the canopy as possible. Anyway, this didn't start until I put the HPS in the cool-tube. I am considering leaving the tent door unzipped part of the way to increase ventilation but haven't decided yet. The lights are off right now so I'd like to see if the temps return back to "average" with the lights off and to monitor whether the temp rises again once the light turns back on or not. I'm wondering if my air scrubber is shot and that is contributing to the rise in the temps too. Otherwise, the plants don't seem to mind. Two of the three, Skywalker and C99x, both seem to not mind the increased temps and my AxT (S1) might be shot, but the jury is still out on that. Another theory I have is that because these plants are smaller, there is a shorter distance between the light and the reflective floor of the tent which may increase the temps. It seems that when I used my Tron in the past couple of comparatives that it seemed to get really hot inside the Tron, but I didn't have a thermometer to monitor the temps so I really don't know if it was 90+ degrees inside the Tron or not. I'll keep an eye on it and if things don't improve, or get worse, then I'll panic. But for now, or at least a little while ago, they look like they are adjusting just fine.

Thanks for chiming in y'all, I really appreciate your feedback.

Is the statue it's sitting on stone or metal as those will absorb heat and retain it you should tie that thermometer from a string and hang it about canopy level with the plants ( but not directly under light as there made outta black plastic) so hang just to the side of the light at plant height to get a accurate reading of temps

It looks like it's painted stone or plaster. You could be right, maybe the dragon is somehow collecting more heat with the HPS then the MH; let me smoke on that later today...LOL! As far as suspending the thermometer from the light, I'll see what I can do. I've seen pics where people have done that exact same thing, but I thought that it looked like a hassle to do something like that. I also thought that regardless of whether the thermometer was suspended from the light or sitting on the floor that the temp reading would be close enough either way; assuming that I don't put the thermometer in a darker part of the tent, which there really isn't any "darkness" inside the tent just small shadows here and there. Anyway, thanks for chiming in and giving me some really good advice. Let me see what I can come up with.
