Looking good my friend! Man I can't wait till you cure that shit out and smoke some. Are you going to jar it up for a little while or just get to smoking when it is dry enough? I would save every bit so you can make it untill you next grow. Remember to germinate your seeds in time so you can move right into growing your new strain as soon as you cut these ladies down. Maybe get a couple of CFL's to limp them along untill you get these harvested. I would start when you are about 3-4 weeks out from harvesting.

I might smoke a small bud just to test it out, but I plan on giving what I got a good cure and try not to smoke it too early. I'd hate waste the few ozs I will get off these plants. I thought about getting two more plants started in the same room, but I decided against it. Rather do a good three week veg with all four of my new plants, and start all four at the same time. I just dont have the room to have a veg and flower room. My main grow room acts as my veg/flower/cure room lol. It will get me by.

Yeah if you veg them till they are about 12-14 in you will end up with plants 3-3.5 feet. So if you have a flower room that can house a 5 ft plant then I would stick with the 12-14 in plan. That is what I am doing with my rooms and they are 80 inches tall. I think I am going to run my own electricity to my new flower room. An electrician wanted to charge me $400 dollars. Give your big cola's and good buds a good cure bro, but your smaller shit smoke it when it is dry enough to burn! There is nothing better than smoking your own weed! I get high as fuck and it cost me next to nothing considering my room has already paid for itself! :) With the looks of your plants you are going to have some good fucking smoke! They look frosty as hell and look like they are really healthy so you will be happy with your grow over all. Oh and I am going to be making cannabutter tomorrow for a freinds wife. She is real bad off with cancer and I am his provider so I am going to try my hand at making butter/cookies for her. I will let you know how they come out, save all your good trimmings Crypt I will let you know how I do! ;)

I think I will veg for 3 to 4 weeks or so. That should give me plants that are about a foot tall. I grow with cfls so prob. best I try to keep the height down as best as possible.

How tall was your tallest plant? I know you had a couple that got pretty tall on you too. My tallest is five feet right now with four weeks to go.

How's the smoke after its been cured a few weeks? Stay high my friend lol.

Glad to hear that you move the weight.

I think my tallest was 16in when I switched it and she stretched the most of course. They didn't get too tall but it was one of my biggest producers by over an oz over all the others. So two-four in makes a huge difference in the ending weight. The smoke seems to get more harsh the longer it cures, lil weird for me. I always have it in the dark and jared up now. When I first started smoking my shit it was nice and smooth, now if I take to big of a rip I caugh a lil. Can't wait to try my cookies tomorrow!!!!;)

Day 98 (Week 6 Flower) Plants are doing well. Buds are starting to fatten up bit. Tall plant is growing some long thin buds, very sativa. Small plants is producing the indica bud. Three weeks to go before harvest. Take a look at the pics below. I tried to get good shots of both plants. See if you see the difference in the buds between the short and tall plant.
