I've had days where USPS, UPS & FedEx have all made deliveries to my house. It's always like Christmas. hehe

Hell yeah it's gonna be auto flower madness! I can't wait. Trying to keep my imagination from running wild until I have it here, setup and i can decide how crazy to go!

Gotta love those deliveries and make sure to get us some pics (I know you will)!!!

I'm back! More pics! More updates! hehe.

How much time you have on these babies now? I know the one in the cage is the jack herer and the 2 photos before that are the HG69... What is the first one? Is that the SBA?

Yeah man, SBA! She is growing fast like you said. These babies have another month of vegging before switching to 12/12. And the Auto's will hopefully be done by the end of next month.

I thought so, Nice!

I actually untied my SBA yesterday in preparation of putting her in the big tent, She "ballooned" in size overnight.

Good luck with her, i think you're going to be very happy.

Yeah man, thanks. And where are the NL pics? I am wondering how that bad lad is doing. And I have also noticed that after ''unshackling'' the LST harness, plants tend to ''shoot off'' if you will. It's like they know that they are free and go, "WHOOO"!! haha

You sure arent kidding about that! They're reaching for the sky today, I had to do a little pinching to keep them in control until I'm ready to move them, Hopefully tomorrow.

I was having a tough time determining if the NLxBB was ready to harvest (71 days since germ) or not so I clipped a bit off on Sunday, quick dried it and smoked a bowl. I got a nice trippy, heady, alert high. Had me real paranoid for about 15 minutes before I got control. lol. I was happy with the results so I harvest it on Monday.

It was small, deformed and grown all sorts of incorrectly so i wasn't expecting much and didnt get much. I pulled just over an oz (wet) from it and it is currently drying. I was surprised how sticky the process was so I only took a few photos as I didnt feel like having resin all over my phone and I was sick of taking my latex gloves off every few mins for a photo.

So, we have only 3 photos...

Cool man, you got some sugar balls. Haha, can't wait to see dried pics and a final weigh in. Keep us posted! And as always, I will have pics up on sunday. I also have some more seeds in the works, so that I will have another grow going while the photos are 12/12ing. ;-)

Finally got my grow journal going! It's in my signature below, So check it out!

Also been drying the NLxBB 6 days now. I'm going to check them later and see how they are doing. Might start curing them if all is well.

Awesome man, I want to see the dried bud shots of the NL if you can manage.

Just took a peek in the box. The buds are dry. A little too dry I think. I tossed them into a jar and will check them in a few hours to see if there is any moisture. If not I might have to rehydrate them a bit. I'll post some photos as soon as I can. You know where to find them. :-P

Yeah, I know where to find them...on my threads hahaha. But jeez 6 days drying? I would figure that 2-3 would be the max!

Yeah, I've got to admit I kind of forgot I had them tucked away in a box in my closet. I'm not used to having weed drying. I had an "oh shit" moment and thats when I discovered how dry they were.

I have heard it can take up to a week to dry so maybe they're OK but something tells me that dry time applies to much bigger buds and a humid climate.

Possibly man, and it must be nice to have a steady supply. I had to go out and buy some and have just been dry hitting/ resin scraping my bowl. :/ haha but only 1 more month and it's go time! WOOT!

That sucks. Been there done that. Soon you'll be self reliant!

Checked the buds this morning and there was ever so little moisture inside the jar where the buds were laying so they didn't dry out too much. A few friends and I have been taking little pieces through the week "taste testing" them so this isn't the full harvest. Wet weight was just over an oz, dry weight appears to be 6g. 75-80% weight loss is about what i expected so everything seems in order.

I only took one photo and then tossed them back in the jar.

Pretty nice looking stash you got there. Just under a quarter (with you stealing buds, LoL) is not bad. I thought that 40-60% was the dry weight. Maybe I was mistaken, either way, you got a smoke report? Taste, high? Cause remember, I got a NL Auto too! :)

I think several factors, including strain type, factor into dry weight loss but 50-75% is kinda normal. I like to say 75% so if you end up losing less it feels like a bonus. =D If I'm wrong about these numbers, please someone chime in.

I only took a small bud the day before harvest to check it out and a few tastes about 3 days into drying so it's a preliminary smoke report at best but it had a very psychedelic/energetic social high, At first I wasnt even sure I felt much but then it kinda crept over ya. I might have harvested it a bit early because Iw as going for more of a indica heavy couchlock high. It tasted a bit "green" but that's to be expected at this stage i figure. I'll update ya as I cure it.
