Man I can smell that shit from here!!!
Thanks guys.
Sure, hang for a week in the dark, test a branch by breaking it, if it snaps then its ready. cut the buds off the stems and drop them in paper bags, keep them in bags for a couple days then put them into jars. Check the jars in about 3 or 4 days, make sure it smells dank, not like cut grass. If I get the cut grass smell I dry it some more otherwise its ready for storage. The only thing I do differently then most is the paper bags, I found it cuts down if not eliminates the burping the jars deal.
Yea they are short fatty's, I cant let them dry all the way here I'm afraid I will get some mold so I'll cut them up and finish drying soon.WOW, those colas are much bigger than they looked when growing. I may change my guess to roughly a QP per plant. They are almost as fat as the anti-freeze container on the shelf
True story. I don't get it though. Sure it may disguise the smell but then it's a combo of skunk and fish shit. I been a smoker for many years and I have to admit my sense of smell sucks but I know I would rather smell weed then shit. That ant changed.
OK, I got the shelf built, I went and got another wire shelf. My bud had an old bed frame I traded some screen for. Drilled out the rivets and removed the wheels and cut the arms to one foot, when I connected them I used a large washer to hold the wire shelf in place and made handles outta some stuff I had laying around, real strong metal shaped like a allen wrench and just as strong. Had to use the vise to bend it.
Kinda cool, they fold flat for storage.
So, cost about $8 and this should hold a couple hundred pounds. I'm thinkin five plants. Its a little shorter then I would have liked. I cut the wire shelf back a couple inches to fit the frame. Guess I didnt have to but i wanted to cut back on sharp edges. Now it looks like I got more. Time to break out the duct tape.
So the hydro is flushing with r/o, shelf if ready for the next next round. Heres a shot of the Silver jack,
The three small ones in the center are Headband, silverjack and the miracle seed that survived the Max Attack, Fem Master Kush.
That girl was transplanted to a larger pot sooner then I usually do and she has just taken off. Gotta remember that. Anyway, after the silver jack goes out there These will be kept for the genetics.

Hey Cruz, about how tall were those ones in shed when you chopped em?
About two feet tall. That's the whole plant hanging. They are like one big cola. buds even at the base, good ones too.
I started them small, didn't know how big they would get, they sure got fat but didn't gain in height much.
Maybe we should make her the entire summer grow.
Veg her up and strip her, get 6 or eight cuttings and grow monsters this summer. Mu ha ha ha.

id love to see that!
Hey cruzer101,
Seems like I'm still battling those bugs. It's not overrun this time so I think they may be leftover eggs from the last cycle.
My question is, the bottle says not to treat too often within 2-3 days. But my thinking is, it's kind of like chemotherapy. The cure may do damage but not nearly as much damage as the disease. How often would you treat your plants in this situation? Maybe use 1/4 strength more often? This time I still had my 5:1 foliar mix so I used that to spray up into the netpot and directly on the little buggers on the roots (I was running out the door and didn't have time to mix and treat).
So far dead bugs are floating around which is good. I'm just worried this may be a chronic condition as I've been cleaning the whole garage like a fiend!

I think you should flush the roots right away and go with it in the res man.
Don't you think think that 5 to 1 mix is too strong to apply directly to the roots?
Yea, I would treat the res with the recommended amount and keep it in there that week the skip the next week but go again if needed. If that isnt your answer maybe you should look at something else.
Oh and by the way, your height will be determined by when you stop training more so then anything else. Flip, keep training until you see full flowers. Lots of pistils. Sometimes 2 weeks sometimes three in 12/12. Then stop training and let them all grow together.

Not only did I do a flush, I did a dunk! One at a time I drained each tank into a 5 gallon bucket while filtering the water through a clean wash rag. Then I took the plant and gently but firmly plunged the netpot up and down in the water. Then poured the buggy water back into the tank then filtered it back into the bucket and repeat until bugs stopped coming out. All in all, one plant was pretty bad and the 3 others just had some but nothing like last week.
I took pics, but I just finished and I'm too pooped to upload. They'll be up in my thread tomorrow. Hopefully this is just a generational thing and I've obliterated the last one. Either way I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it.
Regarding the 5:1, it probably wasn't good. But I was late running out the door and I didn't just want to leave with out supply some sort of defense. I think things are fine though because the roots went right back into the water after I sprayed them.
Thanks for the reply!!
I checked on the drying buds today, they been in there a week now, seems these cool temps have been slowing things down so I cut the branches off and got them in a cab now. Took them one at a time,
Here is all three hanging from the top,
A few left overs on the left of the shelf below and the one that was nitrogen def I piled on top of itself to see if I can ripen the trichomes some.
The bottom is the headband that was in soil.
So here is half of the winter harvest, everything in soil.
Oh, I turned that fan around so it blows against the wall.
The hydro has had 24 hours in clearex and r/o. I changed it out to just r/o and will let it go for a week.
By then these girls will be done and they will go in here.

i bet this long dry will really help the quality. I you will be very surprised by the N def you piled onto each other. I was when I did it 
you know, come to think of it, your drying nets you bought for the summer harvest would work great for piling your bud like that. given the right environmental conditions it would work just like riddleme's technique
oh, its UBER implied that them buds are killer as hell looking. but do they have any trichs, I'm having a hard time seeing any

J/KOh yea, this is gonna be some tasty stuff.Very nice!!!
Crap I just got drool all over myself!
Yea, I wanted to use that net but it don't fit in the small cab.i bet this long dry will really help the quality. I you will be very surprised by the N def you piled onto each other. I was when I did it

I got girls vegging in the large one and we got some rain, I didn't want to leave them out in the shed right now.
Hell I can see the trichs in the main shot, look at the frosty bro. or maybe I should take a trich shot or two.
Uber huh? that's a new one for me. Kinda an ugly word for its meaning.

Trich shots wouldn't hurt
What meaning are you talking bout for uber? Merriam-Webster says to an extreme or excessive degree, so your buddage is extremely killer as hell
