What, have wheels bake some wet buds for you. He is a pro at it. Fuck spending money in the dispensaries when you have racks of buds drying. Go turn that stove on and put some popcorn in there.
First time growing in 10 years, tell me what you think of my setup

You can cure in home depot 5 gallon buckets if you have enough bud.
a 12 pack of quart jars only costs $10 at walmart or albertsons...

That's what my friend said, that's where he got his glass jars. I am not sure I want to go through the madness at IKEA. Hmm, I guess I will just suck it up and go to IKEA.

Hey berk, since you harvested all that bud, when will you be flowering again? Reason I ask is that I would like to offer you a plant to flower now. If you are interested.

I dont want to scrap her down to clones but if I have to then I will. I would rather give her to one of you guys to flower. Should be a large yield!!!

Smoke a couple of bowls and while your there order some Swedish Meatballs. Plus there are always MILFs,GILFs and Hotties(or dudes if thats what your into) at IKEA!

That's a generous offer but it's really not what I want to do. I want to do one more round with the Pineapple Kush and then I will switch to a different strain. The PK clones will be ready in 2 weeks when I am ready to start again.
Thanks though, if I had another tent I would def do it.

I cant continue to veg her cause she is very large, over 3 feet tall and wide too. The sun is a free blessing but sucks cause I cant tell the sun to only be out for 12 hours.

Dude my backyard is 1/6 the size of yours, and you are worried about her being too big...
I will flower her if you want in the 2x2?

i run a virtually identical set-up, so i've got some feedback for you:
-run an inlet air line to your light from one of the vent holes on the tent. the way you have it set up in your photos, you are using all that nice warm, moist air from inside your tent to cool your light. this causes two problems - the moisture can corrode the electrical connections, and your plants need the humidity especially when they are seedlings. If you live in a dry environment, you might also consider putting in a humidifier. i personally keep the RH at about 60% for the first couple growth stages, and the air temp close to 80 degrees. having the inlet line i described above will keep everything nice and humid without you having to top up the humidifier every day. as well, you may find the carbon filter unnecessary since you won`t constantly be venting the tent air into your house.
-get some micro-nutrients. two part solutions are nice because they're super easy, and they generally work. but you will definitely see increased yields with a broader nutrient spectrum. i use GH products and follow the expert feeding schedule here http://generalhydroponics.com/site/gh/docs/feeding_sched/GH-FloraSeries-REC-Charts.pdf
-as for the lighting issue, 1000w for 4 plants in the space you have is plenty. I personally use 400w in a 5`x2.7`x6.6` tent and regularly get nearly a pound per plant from three plants
hope this helps. happy growing.

I appreciate the feedback but you obviously haven't read the entire thread. I have addressed every issue that you described.

Hey Wheels, I haven't even tried my freshly harvested bud. 
I am sure you are just bitching and moaning over there with your oven-drying ways.... I have some Blue Dream and I can be patient until my bud dries properly, at least that's what I keep telling myself. And then and only then will I start to sample my harvest. I will keep sampling along the way during the curing process to see the difference and to avoid buying too much more pot from the dispensary.
I can't wait until I am sufficiently supplied through my own methods because I am going to save about $1000 a month, not to mention any extra that I can give to the dispensary. My life has taken a dramatic turn in a better direction. Now I know why people are so interested in supplying themselves with their own food, it is a great feeling to produce a crop that is important to you... It is a feeling that is almost indescribable. I will say this, it feels like after a few years of growing this and other fruits and vegetables, I could almost be self sufficient when the Zombie Apocalypse comes. I need to get my gun skills up to par so I can get some meat though, I need meat!!!

I accelerate my drying process up on a few straggler nuggets and even some of the nicer nugs. I put em near my ballasts or another warm part of the room. they're dry enough to burn in a day. While the taste hasn't yet developed, it is way better than the microwave or oven. My money is on you can't wai, (why?)t so you may as well get something in process!
