You shouldn't be surprised about pulling in 2+ zips from one plant. You should be surprised about pulling in that weight from a cfl rubbermaid setup lol! You definitely had one of the best rubbermaid grow I have seen on these forums.

Thanks for the compliment! To be honest I haven't seen very many rubber maid grows like mine.

My bad guys I totally forgot. Dry weight is 80 grams total. The buds are still curing everyday and each day they are getting better and better to smoke. I will say holy shit this is the heaviest weed I've ever smoked. You smoke a bowl and you will literally be too stoned to move lol. Thanks to everyone who commented and gave feedback.

One love

P.s.s hit me up if you have any questions on your grow I'll try to help. I just started my new grow so I'll start a journal for you guys. She's already getting big.

How long did you hang dry for?

Approx 4 days. I have been curing for the majority of the time. I have been trying to do it as slow as possible. I have alot of experience with curing and maintaining cigars so I am applying that knowledge to bud.
Very cool. I'm asking because I'm getting ready to harvest in the next 2 weeks and my buds are about the size of yours. I guess 4 days is enough to hang dry then.

I mean I will say I could have kept them out one more day because it was really humid the last 2 days, but the curing is helping take that last bit and even it out.

Hey bry0n! First question; are you using a small grow box or pc set-up? To be dead honest CFLs do not run as 'cool' as many people think. When you compare it to an HPS then yes they are cold as ice haha. The problem is that in a small micro set-up like I had, heat will be an issue. So my first recommendation is to put the grow box somewhere cool without any direct sunlight to heat the box up. My second recommendation is to upgrade the fans. That pretty much did it for me. I had 4 42w cfls and 2 23w cfls and a fan upgrade put it where it needed to be. My fan had approx. 124cfm and it's only a computer fan so it doesn't make much noise. You can put an air conditioner on in the room that the box is in or you could always put frozen water bottles. I had to do that for a week before the new fan came, and it worked well. Let me know if I can help you out with anything else. Peace!

Going with a bucket of ice. Seems to be doing the trick. Any way i have a tower fan to circulate in the cabinet. But holes arent going to work for vents. Cant cut in to the cabinets.... suffic We to say its equal to about 3 pc cabinets, about the same sq footage as a rubbermaid container give or take.

Is this like a kitchen cabinet type of deal? Theres no way to cut a hole in the top or on the sides? The hot air needs to be pulled out of the cabinet somehow. Can you leave the front door open?
