Yeah... so I've been cold shocking for about 3 days. Harvest probably tomorrow or Sunday. Took a peek today and it seems to be speeding ripening of those which were already closest. My most mature have dried stigmas, etc. But I have a feeling my best nugs will be premature : (
I would totally...
I really want to wait. And I initially started this thread with the intention of waiting... But then I looked at a calendar and realized I have to be on a plane in less than two weeks. So if I don't want my PC rotting in my jars I don't have a lot of choice. I wish I had another 2-3 weeks to...
Here are a couple pictures of what I consider my better, but not quite mature nugs:
You can see that they're loaded with cloudy trichomes, and their calyxes have swelled as if pollinated. The stigmas are mostly white, but are just changing over from white -> orange. Unfortunately I'm out of...
Dude, I know right? I'm sorry I didn't believe you at first, I just trusted Barney's for some reason... I love their description "...flowering to a beautiful conclusion in just 55 days." OK, yeah... And also saying 60-80 cm? More like 70-90 at least. Their weed is so good, I couldn't pass up...
So I have 6 remaining Barney's Pineapple Chunk females which have been flowering for a whopping 74 days. I'm getting pretty impatient, and am a bit confused about things taking so long. I have a magnifier, and have been checking my trichomes daily.
At this point I would say that overall they...
Yo did you harvest those yet? How long did they flower for in total? I'm on day 73 right now, which seems absolutely nuts. I took one of my weaker ladies down today and trimmed her up; so so so resinous, absurd. Most of the trichomes on that plant were still clear, even though it had swelled up...
That's the old school one. But I'm sure it works fine. I hear the producers run a little cooler. I know for a fact I wouldn't bother getting a bloombox again, as I would just grow a mom in the closet or something.
Yeah no problem man. I really don't expect to yield much on this at all; maybe 4oz if I'm lucky. This is my first grow in the bloombox, and I'm far from having everything dialed in right. It's been a great learning experience thus far though. I'll be much more prepared for DWC as well as using...
Forgot to note:
I accidentally broke a branch off maybe a week and a half ago or something. Dried it out for 3 days and cured it for 5. My flush is great, really really clean burn. The smoke is thick and smooth. The flavor was obviously pretty negligible after only 5 days of curing and being so...

Day 66 Flowering
[week 10: Water and microbe tea, pH: 5.6]
What's up Wozz. Thanks for the kind words, I'll be sure to check out your log when I have a little bit more time. Shit has been so hectic around here, new job, old girlfriend; you know the drill, life gets fast...
Update
Day 62 Flowering
Everyone is looking good. In my second week of flush, no final phase this week though, just straight water and more microbe tea.
I got that scope I wanted, been checking the trichromes on the most mature buds daily. Still crystal clear from what I can tell. When they...
Here are some things off the top of my head
Pros of the box:
-Convenient
-RELATIVELY stealthy. IE it doesn't smell too much and if you don't tell or show anyone they will never know its there. Had my parents over today for thanksgiving in a small apartment, no problems.
-If you know what...
Yo, sorry I've been really slow to respond. BCNL makes a great product, but there are some considerations for sure. If you live in an apartment, and have a way to get one of these inside, it's a pretty easy and effective way to grow. With that said for the same price (actually a lot, lot less)...

Day 50 Flowering
[week 8 nutrients: 46ml Final Phase pH: 5.6]

Week 7 nutrients were the same.
Well, just started my flush today, which...

[Week 5 Nutrients: see above]
So I've been adding 1 cup of microbe tea every 3 days, and root growth is going GREAT. Huge increase in root mass and lots of new growth. Lots of bud development this week as well. Seriously anyone experiencing sludge problems should check out...
So I saw a little improvement in my root systems from H202 and Hygrozyme when I changed my res before adding my first batch of microbe tea. I added the tea on the 27th and after 2 days there is a noticeable increase in water intake (huge increase), and my root growth is back in full swing...
