oh yeah, i went and checked them out on friday, and a whole row in the big room was falling over, i had to tie up a wack of them, and they have around 2 weeks left. they are swelling up like crazy. Im thinking the small room will be ready at the end of this week. once the bed dries out, ill see if i flush them one more time, or hack em down.... new pics to follow soon!

Hi guys, just a small update. HOLY SMOKES MAN! these Elephant plants are AMAZING! I was looking at the small room, to see if it was ready, and I just couldnt believe how fat and hard the nugs are! The calyx's are SOOO swolen and huge, i was beginning to think it had gone to seed! I mean, they are huge balls all over, and so hard, so i cut some off and examined them, and I didnt find any seed (to my relief)! I mean, they are at 6 weeks or so now, so, IF they were pollinated,and were turning to seed, there would be developed seeds in there already, no? I didnt find anything that looked seed like, just green organic matter...... LOL. DAMN they are huge nugs! SOOO tight!

Ill update pics tomrrow, my phone was dead when i went there today, so no new pics today!

take care,

Ginnzy!

Nice I think we all like fast finishers. Congrats on a seedless crop. I'm sure we'll be drooling over pics when you send them. Are you still planning to chop this weekend? Do you prefer to take elephant when the Trich's are cloudy or when a good percentage are amber?

heads up, the small room came down yesterday. took 10 hours, 3 guys, for the most part. the bed had dried right up, two full flushed of zero water, and the hairs were 70% red, trich's were cloudy. It looks like the best crop ive ever cut down (15 years+)! The big room will wait another 2 weeks or so, and they are coming along very well! A rough estimate on what we got off the small room is approx 2.5 - 2.75 lbs, maybe, just maybe a bit more.......

more updates to come!

Well, today is update day. I weighed the outcome from the small room..... My buddy's all estimated from 2 lb, to 2.5 lb. today i did the finally tally and it came out to 3.4 lbs! AWESOME. With that kind out of outcome from the small room, im thinking the bigger bed should produce 6+!

So, with that, I have some new pics.

New girls in the small room, on 18 hr light.

pics are coming. im going on day FOUR of harvest. I will be done by 10:30 this morning, then I have to plant the next round of clones. The light is at the end of the tunnel! The smaller room is ready to be flipped today as well!

And, another change has come to light. A colleague has approached me to be his grower. He possesses the same count as I do, So, It looks like I will be re-designing the room(s) one more time (ARRRGGGHHHH). But, I have exactly what I need for room, but will need to order new equipment. I had been running three 1000's on the big table, and I will be running two big tables, that will house 73 plants each, the small room taught me the lights were a little too far apart, so I will be running four 1000's across each bed. Ventilation will need to be increased as well.

Ill add, I JUST dodged the botrytis bullet. I Inspected the room last tues. and seen the smallest sign of (rot) in one of the large center cola's, and cut it out immediately. I then added another dehumidifier, and 2 more circulating fans, and turned the main vent. fans on 24/7. that dropped the humidity 27 points, and stopped the (rot) dead in its tracks, I had enough time to let the beds dry out, and to get properly ready to cut. I lost approx 3g. of product. (UNEXCEPTABLE) ;-) LOL.THAT WAS CLOSE.

the work never ends.
