right on...so you're saying since I'm seeing a few amber crystals now, they will most likely be done when I planned on chopping them down which is about a week from now?? Sweet!!

hey db, what percentage of crystals do you let turn amber before you harvest your plants?? since I want the same "couch lock" effect you're looking for with your ladies...

I'm chopping down the weird looking trainwreck tomorrow. I think the harvesting experience will be good for me. I'd rather use 1 plant as practice for the rest of my girls instead of harvesting 9 plants at the same time when I've never done it before, plus I wanna smoke some of that shit and this plant should be dried & ready to start curing by the time I start harvesting the next plants. When I get home I'm pulling it from the tray and moving it to my bathroom so it can have the 24hr dark period. That means I can cut it down when i get home from work tomorrow which will be a 32 hr dark period total. I hope 5 days of flushing was enough to do something. The rest of the plants will still have almost 2 weeks of flushing...what can I say?...I'm a head and I can't wait anymore!!!

I have a question...does a longer dark period (example: 48hrs instead of 24hrs) help the plant in any way?? I've asked that question a few times and have yet to receive an answer and when I search online I can't find anything about it.

Hey guys, thanks alot for all the advice, help, nice comments, etc... It's nice being able to show off my grow and at the same time get help with any questions that might pop up. Instead of letting all my friends know and having the wrong person find out, I share with you guys and that removes the urge to show every person who walks through my door what I have in the back room...you guys know what I'm saying. I appreciate it alot!!!

dark periods before harvest are a much debated topic... imo it should help because there are life and growth processes that take place independent of light. i believe that helps the plant metabolize a lot of the crap that we pump them up with before we cut them. dont know for sure but i feel like it helps, definately shouldnt hurt anything

cool...I guess I'll just chop it down & trim it up tonight then. It shouldn't take long, the plant I'm harvesting was practically lollipopped (it had 3 branches) so there's not much there to trim. I'll post some pics when I'm done.

Here are a few porn shots for the evening. Unfortunately it is a hermie!! It doesn't seem to be infested with seeds but it definetly does have some...DAMN IT!!! That's what I get for going with feminised seeds, now I'm thinking I should have ordered regular seeds for my 2nd grow but the fems are already on the way so fk it. Do you guys think this will it still be good smoke...once I pick out the seeds?!?!?

I've heard dry weight is about 1/8 of wet weight. Is that about right going by any of your personal experiences? I have 114 grams wet so if that formula is correct, I should have about a half oz from this plant. I guess that's not bad considering it was my runt and it was a hermie with very spuratic bud patterns.

hey Db, do you hang dry your buds or do you use some type of dryer box??

The hermie trainwreck is hang drying in my guest bathroom with a fan blowing to circulate air but not blowing directly on the buds, it shouldn't be that long before its ready for the jar cuz the buds are small. Also, do you think I'd be better off using this plant for hash or butter or something like that instead of smoking it?? Or should I just pick out the seeds and smoke it all??

Last but not least, what method would you suggest for making hash with my trimmings? seems like most people say bubble hash is the best way to go.

I Set Some In A Cardboard Box, And Some I Hang. I Dont Realy See A Diff.
I Would Hang Yours From A Hanger For About A Wk. In A Cool Dark Closet... Check It After About 3 If It Feels A Little Dry. Thats Good. Keep Checking And Then Jar It. About The 5-6 D Mark... And Then Back In The Closet. Burp The Jar Every Couple Days. And Smoke Away.... If U Want To Try Some Now.... Its Not The Best. But Put It In The Micro Wave For 20 Sec. Bumps Letting Cool Between Them Till Dry Enough To Burn And Your Off To The Races.... Looks Like A Good Trim Job Too!!! Sticky Huh!!! ???

lol..yeah I had to stop 3 times to get all the build up off my scissors. I have them hanging in my guest bathroom with a fan blowing to circulate air but not blowing directly on the buds. It's nice & cool and there's no windows in there so it's pitch black.

I definetly would have quick dried a piece last night to try it out if I didn't already have some delicious buds to smoke. But since I do I'll be able to wait it out until it's done...lol

Do you ever weigh your buds when they're wet? I know it really serves no purpose other than finding out how much weight you lose when it dries but I figured maybe you have on occasion. Is about 1/8 of the wet weight roughly what to expect when it's dried. If so that means I'll get around a half oz from my runt here.

lol..well I didn't save it but I did smoke it as I pulled it off the scissors...it was good too!!

oh and a good friend of mine who also grows is letting me borrow his bubble hash set-up which he only used once or twice because he thinks it's too much of a pain in the ass...he has that washing mashine thing that you fill with ice water and I think he said 4 or 5 different bags. I have no idea how to do it but he's gonna show me and let me borrow it as long as I want...sweet, I don't have to spend $300!!!
