    Ready for harvest? Don't want to go too early, first time.

    Should also add it was given a small bit of LST at about 3 - 4 ft. I put a dozen tent pegs in the ground and tied a branch to each with some twine.

    Ready for harvest? Don't want to go too early, first time.

    :D WOW. 30 oz curing in jars, 1 oz of popcorn bud for my personal stash. At least 2-3 oz didn't snap right off the branch but was very close so I'm guessing between that curing and a bit more of a stem trim I may lose and ounce or two. Very happy with my first grow ever!!!! Here I was hoping for...

    Cheers Fenian. :) I am aware of the dangers of scrog and males however these were grown from a feminised seed pack and all four have shown female preflowers. I have read feminised seeds have a higher chance of going hermie especially under stress such as scrog so I will be keeping a very close...

    400w MH/HPS multi-strain ScROG First grow!

    Just had my first training session after a nice feed, another week or so for the 4th plant to touch the screen and a bit of filling out in the centre and I'll flip to 12/12. What are peoples thoughts on leaving the MH in there on 12/12 for the first couple of days to control the stretch as I am...

    I'll repost the weight for these jars in a week or two, still some moisture to be lost and a couple of tiny stems to trim!

    Ready for harvest? Don't want to go too early, first time.

    Just chopped up and weighed the first branch that come down, the first picture of the lone branch I posted (a good five days before the rest) 62 grams :D Most of the buds were giving me that nice "snap" sound but a few were still a bit moist so I'll keep an eye on them in the jars. I'll post a...

    Ready for harvest? Don't want to go too early, first time.

    It is all solid bud, half the larger popcorn left for my stash and the rest is boiling nicely right now. I say about an ounce each but some are well over and some are possibly under, being my first time I can't be sure from wet to dry weight and size difference.

    Ready for harvest? Don't want to go too early, first time.

    After about 20 hours of trimming over several days I'm finally done.. Can someone critique my first attempt at trimming? This pic is of the last cola I did and had been sitting for 5 hours already so go easy.... Any one care to guesstimate a final weight? 13 branches in total each look to be...

    Just spotted female preflowers on all 4 plants. Pretty happy with that, one has just hit the screen and will need training tomorrow. Pics over the weekend.

    400w MH/HPS multi-strain ScROG First grow!

    Should also add the 69% (69... nahahaha) RH was just after watering, it was sitting at 40% a few minutes before. Took about 2 litres each to get some run off after 3 days without a water, that's a litre a day drinking/evaporation as when transplated they took 5litres to soak the coco and...

    Moved the hood down a little today, it's about 5" from the tops but it's in a sealed hood and the bulb is a few inches above the glass. The front right hand one is a good 2" shorter than the others, I'm putting this down to the fact it was basically dead after 3 days. I'll give it another week...

    Ready for harvest? Don't want to go too early, first time.

    Here's a shot of the trimmed branch, a lot of little leaf still in there, I'm happy with my first attempt though. Also scored 331g of some really nice looking butter (half butter half coconut oil actually) I licked my fingers after straining with the cheesecloth and felt a little relaxed half...

    Got some cannabutter cooking up at the moment. Can't wait. :D 1.5 oz of semi dried trim and there's about 7-8x that amount yet to be chopped.

    "Night Time" temps drop from 25 to 18-20ish degrees and humidity rises to around 60+% Had a timing issue with the exhaust and temps rose to 30 but not for more than a couple of hours. I notice the plants are a bit droopy after lights on and a few hours before lights off, hoping it's just part...

    Heavy rain and wind ripped a branch off, hung and trimmed this morning.. The rest are coming off on Thursday as the forecast isn't getting any better, don't want any more trichs stripped off

    Minor set back getting the tent going, came back from work to find the weight of the carbon filter finally caused the top support bar hooks to give way (I've had the tent just sitting set up while I sorted the ducting through the roof) turns out they were both weak to begin with, swapped it with...

    Ok, so after reading hours and hours of material over the past months I finally decided to start my grow (I'm using RIU as most of my search results through google and informative answers came from this site) The original idea was to go with a gutted fridge and CFL/LEDs but after further...

    Ready for harvest? Don't want to go too early, first time.

    So between new pistil growth and old it seems only about 50-70% have darkened and curled yet it looks like 100% trichs are milky, glad I asked here and didn't chop tomorrow as it seems the buds are swelling up, even on the lower branches where it seemed they were just going to stay popcorn like...
