Thanks bro! The 600w is doing noticeably better! I don't have a lot of room in my closet, so the plants are going to get as big as they could if they had the room to stretch out. I'm still glad that I switched to the 600w still. I can grow 4 plants without any issues and having to add supplemental lighting like I did with the 400w. The worst thing about the 600w is that it puts out that much more heat compared to the 400w.

Looking good man. I have grown both blue dream and purple dream and both were stellar strains. That island sweet skunk sounds pretty tasty to. Gonna sub up for the ride.

That tree is amazing.

Take some trunk shots when you harvest!

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I am going to have to recruit some help trimming that bad girl! Lol! Naw really I am splitting the harvest with my buddy who's house they are growing at, so I get his help and his girl's too! The girl's are just about finished up too! They are some stinky little bitches too! I really couldn'yt be happier with the way that they look. Now I am just waiting to see how they smoke. I hope I don't end up with a bunch of junk! From the looks of things I shouldn't have anything to worry about. I bought my 600w off of ebay, and I got the Revolt ballast. I got a new hood too, and I think I spent about $200. Plus I got 2 bulbs with it. I also bought an mh and hps bulbs by Digilux.

I just got back from my outdoor grow. I snagged a couple branches off of my WWxBB and The White plants. They are looking finished to me. I will probably wait another 2 weeks just to push them to the max. I will get back to you all on how the tester nugs come out!

That's wassup.. keep us posted bro!

dont forget pics!

So I bought a bag from a buddy that turned out to be some dro. I was told that it was called Strawberry D-Lite. It has the most amazing taste and smell to her that reminds me of fruity pebbles cereal. It's not the most potent bud I have ever encountered, but it makes up for that with her smell and taste. I just love when I can get my hands on strains like this. It makes me all giddy like a kid on Christmas morning. On another note, the buds on my WWxBB are just crazy big, and there are tons of them. I am just so happy with how she looks. There are buds that are much bigger around than my forearms and just as long. This plant has colas like this from the ground up. They are completely covered in trichs too! After touching just a couple branches to check them out, my fingers were completely covered in resin. The buds are really dense with no give in them when squeezed. This strain has kept all of it's leaves without any yellowing at all. Then there is the smell which is kind of hard for me to describe. There is a sweet fruitiness to her with a kind of musky smell to her as well. It isn't one of my favorites, but it is still nice. It is very strong though right now. When you are walking towards where she is located, you can really start to smell her when you start to get close. The White plant has a strong lemon diesel smell to her. I don't know if diesel really describes it right but when I say lemon that is on the money. My White plant is the oldest out of all my outdoor gals. She is a straight up indica plant. She only got to about 4' tall with all kinds of veg time. She bushed out some, but looks like a typical indica strain to me. She has a nice amount of trichs on her, but so does all my other strains. When I was trimming the tester nugs that I pulled off of her, I noticed that there was a lot of leaf and not a lot of bud after the trim. Plus there was only a nice bud at the end of the stem and as you worked your way down it turned into popcorn. The WWxBB has fat ass nugs all the way down the branch. I will post some pics of my tester buds after they dry out. I might get some more pics of the outdoor grow as well.

Everything is coming along nicely! But after seeing my outdoor grow, I am just not all that impressed with my indoor one. Lol! I have a bunch of fruity strains going. Hopefully some of them will be tastey! Anyways here are a few pics that I just took:

So I just got back from harvesting 3 of my outdoor plants which were The White, Gigabud, and Black Russian. I also took tester nugs off of the Red Cherry Berry, Chocolope, and the Toxic Blue 33. We got quite a bit more bud off of these 3 plants that I had thought there was going to be. The Black Russian was a single stick plant that was only about 2' tall. We might get a 1/2 oz. off of her, but she is stinky and frosty as fuck. The Red Cherry Berry and Toxic Blue 33 look like they might have 2 weeks to go, but the rest of them look finished to me. We are going to cut the big ass WWxBB plant down this weekend. I am worried about someone stealing them, or else I would let them go a little longer. It is ready though.

It is a bummer to be rushed....but good to harvest. Enjoy!

Ah the yearly battle of fully ripening vs thieves, police, and rain. I hope the marijuana gods smile down upon you,

The one's that I harvested were finished, so I don't think that it was a big deal. I would really hate to be waiting those extra few days, and then somebody steal my shit! I would just be heartbroken. It is going to be an all weekend job to harvest my WWxBB plant. Tbh I am not looking forward to the trimming part of the harvest on that bitch! Lol! I did notice during trimming those 3 plants last night that I did have a bigger issue with bud worms than I originally thought. There were some branches that had completely hollowed out tunnels from them little devils. There were some buds that were no good and rotten too! I found quite a few of them crawling around while I was trimming. They are just so small that there really isn't any way of picking them off of a 9' tall plant. It is just unrealistic to think that you will even be able to find a small portion of them. I imagine that I will find quite a bit of damage to my big plant from those buggers. My Blue Dream on my indoor grow is just looking great with really dense nugs already. Plus they are just coated in a layer of trichs. I just love this strain by HSO. It is one of my favorites hands down. It is very easy to grow and branches out without any trouble at all. The Phantom Cookies has these nice long spear shaped colas that are pretty hairy with all kinds of frost on them. They aren't as dense as the Blue Dream's nugs, but they aren't airy neither. The Phantom Cookies looks like it is going to yield better than any of my other strains too! I am glad that that seed turned out to be a female, so I can try the strain out. The smell on my cookie plant reminds me of a purple strain. It is very fruity, but I like it a lot. I bought 3 seeds of this strain, and I got 2 males and the 1 female. The Pineapple Chunk isn't as stinky or frosty as the last one that I grew. Hopefully that will change over the next couple weeks. I yielded around 2 ozs off of her under a 400w last time, but I don't think I am going to get that much this time under a 600w which sucks, but it is what it is! The Island Sweet Skunk is staying true to its name in regards to its smell. It has this tropical fruit smell with skunky undertones to her. I find it to be a very pleasant smell. She has a nice amount of trichs on her, but the buds are super dense like I like. They are kind of spongy feeling to me, but that could change with time. Plus it could be where she is at under the light too.

Sounds like u got it all under control.. don't have to much fun this weekend!

Thanks for the rep brotha! Im def lookin forward to the next update! Keep that scisor hand strong lol

I decided to go ahead and germinate 6 seeds via wet paper towel method. I went with 4 Gage Green Genetics Grape Puff's, 1 HSO Emdog, and 1 HSO Pineapple Skunk. As so as they germinate they will be going into those red party cups until my current indoor grow is finished. I can't wait to try the Grape Puff's! Hopefully I get at least 2 females. I will give some updates on how they are coming along during my other grows! I am expecting big things from my GGG gear. It took me a long time before I could get my hands on some of those genetics, because they were always sold out! I got lucky , and I got me a pack. Hopefully they won't be a total letdown.

I just took these pics a few days ago. They are of the WWxBB monster plant that I have going. I had harvested my Black Russian, The White, Gigabud, and my Chocolope plants. That left the WWxBB, Red Cherry Berry, and Toxic Blue 33 plants left to harvest. Well, we had planned on harvesting them all today, but we have had some of the worst rain storms that I have ever seen in a long ass time. Needless to say, I was going to put off harvesting the last 3 plants for a few days until we had some dry weather. That was the plan until I went to inspect the plants and noticed that my Toxic Blue 33 was gone! Somebody had stolen the plant overnight, and I was so fucking heartbroken. This incident really put everything in a bad position, because now I didn't want to take a chance of having my other plants snatched. I just can't understand why they would only take 1 plant instead of the biggest one, or all 3 of them. That is what I would have done. Anyways I ended up harvesting both plants after a serious down poor. Let me tell you it was a pain in the ass. It took 5 of us about 8 hours just to get all of the fan leaves off of the WWxBB. We have a whole room full of buds hanging from strings that are strung across the room. It is such a beautiful sight to behold. We have a few fans blowing to help prevent any kind of mold forming. I can't wait to see what the final harvest numbers are on that bad girl. I got 4 ozs. off of The White, and 2 1/2 off of the Gigabud. We only got a 1/2 oz off of the Black Russian though. The rest of the strains are still drying. Anyways here are some pics of the WWxBB that I took. Enjoy!
