Alien what light were you using?

I Start with 2 105W and 2 60W CFL's. Veg for about 6 weeks, or when the height of the plants has enough room for the flower stretch.
Then I go to a 150 Sun System HPS. Works perfect and not alot of energy cost. My box is small but very bright with the refelctive lining.

Peace

I really need an opinion or two. These pics are from this AM. just as lights shut off for the day (end of day 52). They look ready except for the amount of new white hairs that continue to grow daily, is this an issue?

not so much....when ripe a majority of your hairs should be curled back and cloudy/amber trichomes....i think i see a "nana" on that first pic....clip that thing off b4 it opens and pollinates

When did you begin counting your flowering because it looks like it has another 4 weeks to me...

Good down to earth tutorial. Kudos

Those buds looked beautiful.

Mother of god.. It's beautiful.

I hope I get a harvest half as decent as that.

Yep, I seal them in jars. Here is my process in pixs, lol.

Very very good guide, straight to the point and east to understand

i like the little min guages in the jars. smart.

VACUUM SEALER BAGS WOULD BE A BAD IDEA BUT JARS ARE COOL

Getting small, cheap, accurate hygrometers that fit in the jars is the way to go. I keep one in every jar I'm curing.

Thanks for all the great info, I have 2 aero-gardens elite with the extendable lights, I am following your post and I am 6 weeks with 2 lowrider 2 ganga feminized. Now how can I find a simple way to make seeds of the ak47, self flowering lowryder.

Very nice tutorial, I'm getting excited for harvest season!

Got a beginner question, how much do you feed your plant in the flowering process.

I like this method. Do you ever put anything in those jars with the buds? I never have just wondering if you have any experience with it. Nice buds BTW!

Im about ready to harvest, should I make sure not to water for a few days prior? Should soil be hydrated or no? Any tips to give prior to cut would be great. should i harvest when plant is in light or dark cycle? should I leave in the dark for a day or 2? does that even work?

Well if ur doing soil i would clear out about 2 weeks in advanced and dry atleast a week if ur doing hydro u wanna clear with tap water a week in advanced check ph, and dry for 3-5hrs prior to cuting doun.
Hope this helps
