I Just went and checked on my girls again and the middle plants main stalk has broken off near the bottom of the plant. I may harvest her tonight. This is the same one that I tied up earlier this week. My neighbor to my right has a window that overlooks my plants. They are an older cpl around 70 or so but they have a son that lives with them that is much younger. I have suspected that they know what I'm doing but are being very cool about it. Anyway I haven't had a visit from the boys in blue yet. Their window blinds are usually closed all summer but for some reason the blinds have been open all through the day for the past 2 months. I suspect they want to see me out there fucking with them. I don't want to pull her and leave the other two I'm sure they would notice that for sure. I don't know what I'm gonna do just yet because I wanted to pull em all at once. I got to go to my dads here in just a bit to do some work for him. I guess I'll talk to him and see what he thinks I should do.

Here's the damage.

It's a real bummer that I had to harvest 2 weeks early but all of my plants wound up falling over from the wind and the weight. I did everything I could to keep them upright considering I had a neighbor that overlooked my plants for the last half of the summer. I got two plants dried and curing in mason jars and the last one is drying now. I'll probably be jarring the last one that went a week longer than the first two by the first of the week. I'm hoping it will turn out to be better smoke than the previous two. In the first pic I had a cpl of buddies help me out with the trimming and they were like a couple of kids in a candy store LOL. They know nothing about my indoor plants. They're each getting an ounce for there trouble, even though their trimming skills wasn't quite up to par. In the last pic way in the back you can see my old man inspecting the harvest. He gets an ounce or two on the house just because he's my pops. I'll be posting a final harvest pics along with total weight in a few weeks.

Enjoy.

I just checked in on the NL#5 plants and found one that is turning male during an 18/6 light cycle. It seems kinda weird that it's showing sex already. The only thing I can think of is that's it's the one that got into the light and burned a leaf and part of the top. Maybe that stressed her into turning. I'll be flipping them to 12/12 by Monday anyway, so It's a good thing I could get that one out of the way.

Here's some pics.

So here is some pics of my final harvest. I'm all wrapped up and everything is jarred up and curing nicely. I got 4 bags of sugar trim and that also has a lot of little popcorn buds mixed in that came out to just a little over a pound, roughly a QP per bag.

Just a rough estimate on everything else I got around 2.5 lbs. I wont accutually know for another 2 to three weeks. I'll post that update later.

I also set aside roughly a QP of all the best cola's for myself.:weed:

With all the paranoia and worrying that I was gonna get busted this summer, it was well worth my time and trouble even though I had to pull them a cpl of weeks early due to high wind, busted branches and just falling over from the weight of the buds, I can't complain.

The buds are really sticky, smells great and tastes even better. Also it stones the hell out of me so that's all I care about.

In short I'm happier than if I was in a whore house on dollar day.

Peace and on with the show.

All said and done I got 45.5 zips. Plus a lb of sugar leaf that I plan on making into hash sometime in the future.

Peace.

My indoor lady is close to harvest and I got the NL#5 to take it's place. Out of 7 plants I'm left with 3 females. I'm only gonna keep the two best looking ones and give the third one away. One I'm gonna try to take it from dirt to hydro and then second will be my mother plant going into hydro as well. I'll also take clones just in case the transition from dirt to hydo isn't successful.

I'll only be posting in this journal a cpl of more times before I start my NL#5 thread. It's time to leave this thread behind and move onto greener pastures.

Peace.

So I was playing with the Zorb this morning and I figured out how capture video. This is my indoor lady @ 8 weeks she is a Sativa dom so she's still got a cpl of weeks to go.


This is just some small popcorn bud at the bottom of my plant I took for a test run.

i think since you went through so much paranoia and perseverance with these plants it made them come out extra good because that is some of the best outdoor i have ever seen! Great job bro +rep
