also i try and only smoke .3g a day so my 50g is lots but i have some friends how want samples, plus holiday parties are goin to cut into my supply but if i do it right it should last me till next harvest is cured (about 4 months from now)
i think youll find honestly youll probably be smoking more than that after a while if you got 50g's. i wish you the best of luck but itll take will power when you know you earned it all for yourself

Ya I know, i've been weighing it out every day for over a month now. and except fot the weekends it pretty easy to stick to. so i think as long as i keep weighing it out everyday i'll be able to make it. Plus i started growing so i never had to buy again so the more i save the better.

yeah thats true. i cant wait to one day have a perpetual in the not so distant future i hope. makes so much sense. though with electricity prices here id probably just grow when i need to lol.

youre very disciplined to weigh yourself amounts each day lol. i dont have working scales for some reason they weirded out. i got new batteries but now it just keeps going up a gram a second when nothings on it.

Hey Guys its been one week since my harvest and i'm still at 61g so my estimate of 50g should be close. i'm going to try and wait a month before i start smoking her other then the small shake stuff. Plus a found another 6 seeds today.

theres a before and after pic in there you can see how much they shrink as they dry. and theres some close ups from today.

keep your scale away from fans and electronics/magnets, also keep it on a level surface. All of things can drastically fuck with your scale.

Fan's provide a slight weight difference, but the electronics are what makes the scale go bat shit crazy. If i ever tried to use mine next to my pc/gaming mouse that thing wouldn't hold steady on ANY number.

Ok so i lied, i know i said i was gonna wait, the light on ebay seems to be goin cheap so i put in a bid, even tho i don't really need it want it, also i found a used ac for cheap, so i might have to change my thread title to beans franklin's 250w hps + 240w cfl 3 plant Perpetual Miracle Grow. lol
Heres my first two seeds still waiting to pop, but i can see the seeds slowing moving up out of the dirt :)

Beans - lurked on your other grow journal. Learned a lot bro and im reading everything i can in prep for my first grow. I have seeds coming and building out my rig in the meantime. Planning on just 2-3 plants. 6 t8 tubes and 8 23w cfls (all scrounged) Not a stealth grow but concerned about odor. Did yours stink enough to be noticeable? If so when? Subbed.

This was ok one small plant doesnt make much odour but about 3 hrs to lights on is when they smell the most. If your concerned about smell stay away from anything that was skunk or is said to have strong odour. The mandala's i'm trying to grow is a recommended low odour strain.

Yep. Definitely no skunk! The name was all the I needed to stay away. Lol. I've got C99 and northern lights because a lot of ppl say it's easier to grow for n00bs like me. I'll prob start a journal once I have everything ready to go. So stoked. I'm like a RIU junkie now Checking forums all the time and bouncing to a ton of threads. And Youtube. I swear half the world has a personal grow in their closet. Anyway good luck with your ladies!

ok well i used my scope and this is what i saw. it looks like clumps of crystals. i man handled it a bit when i was pulling seeds so i think maybe thats what happend. because i've been looking around and can't find anything like it i broke it apart and theres nothing deeper just sweet looking bud, but its all dried out too dry actually, but i'll keep an eye on it and if its not spreading i'll start to try and re-hydrate small parts at a time.
In other news i grew impatient for my seed to pop and started another one in water and paper towels, but as u can see my seed popped so i may have to seedlings :) which is good cause there regs so no guarantees.

Nice glass collection. I roll with a vape now! Easier on my lungs and a clean burn. Basic ones coming down in price a lot. I got mine for under $75 (US) a few months ago. Totally worth it.

ive been tempted to get that iolite vaporizer but until i actually get a grow setup im unable to really get much weed so it wouldnt be worth it. i imagine its pretty good though. does a vape really get you as crispy as say a well packed joint though? seems it would be a minor buzz. like diet weed.
