First Grow

It has been a learning experience all the way through, I do a lot of research and listen to those that have more experience, however I am running on a very small budget so I try to get the greatest bang for my buck. I also have to deal with extreme heat in summer, regularly over 100 and sometimes 105+ with low humidity.

Just drying the first buds, the other two plants need more time. I smoked some sun leaves to keep myself from stealing unripe buds, a bit harsh but still got a bit of a buzz. I kept the sugar leaves also to occupy my time while the buds dry, haven't tried them yet.

Lol that’s a good idea, which one are the sun leaves? I might try that because I’ve nothing to smoke fucking perpetually.

The big ones part way down, the new growth isn't worth messing with, I dried some of the tops when I topped them, I just compost them now. I was cutting some of the sun leaves off to get more light to the lower buds, and figured what the hell.

I grew up (?) in SoCal in the 70's and remember (mostly) $10 ounces of half seed Mexican weed.
That’s awesome I can’t imagine a 10$ ounce. The stuff here is also Mexican and half seed but people charge 80-100 per ounce. Every once in a while you can find good herb here but it’s normally mid grade at best.

I knew "the guy" back in the day. The regular weed was smokable at best. The Columbian gold (I think was $30-40 Oz) was good stuff along with Oaxaca spears, Thai sticks and black hash were the bomb along with honey oil. Later on everyone had some sinsemilla probably from Mendocino county or local greenhouses, I think about $40 Oz. I could fill up my motorcycle with gas for $2.50 or less so you can compare prices to today that way.

Week 18, 9 weeks in flower. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, found a few turning brown but not many. Not going to be a record harvest but with the mistakes I have made i am just happy to get them to this point. Clones are doing well, starting to flower. I'll put up the mylar once the big girls are drying.

Looking great man!
 
They do really look pretty sick.
At the beginning they had a lack of Nitrogen ... but at the end of page 1 of your report imho they had to swallow to much Nitrogen in the meanwhile innit?

First grow mistakes I guess, probably cut nutes too soon, too late to change that. I have some healthy clones I took for round 2. Just going to flower them out and change types I am growing.

I find the breeder info is not very accurate I had plants finish a week earlier and more than 2weeks later than specified .
 
I know ... in my experience you can easily count 10 - 14 days on top of the breeders given information (marketing is everything; sooner respect was everything).

I was just asking about the information from breeder because they definitely look overnutriented (if that is a word in english) and you should just not give them any more nutrients. Give them water, a lot ... to get out the nutrients. But I thinkn they are too old to get the disgusting stuff out imho.
