4x4 tent with 36 100w equivalent cfls. 7 girls about 4 weeks to go. I am having some issues, the top leaves are curling down and getting crispy but the lower ones are very nice.
also threw in a pic of my first clone attempt

Chopped one of my NL#5 the other day. So that means more pr0n for the Mighty Midwest.









































Here's a few shots of the the root ball. As you can see there is no root circling but at the same time you can't see many roots. So it looks like the air pots are doing there job by air pruning the roots and causing them to send more shoots through out the pot.











Hanging out to dry.





Manicured bud shots still to come.

Looks good!...
Do your clones have legs yet?

Are you on a budget keeping you from buying a 600?

Wow, sweet bunch of pictures. I see your a believer in hanging the whole plant. From my research it tends to be more work, but I think it is worth it. Better get some gloves on for that sticky trimming.

Yeah I usually trim right after harvest but last time the humidity was so low all me buds dried out in like two to three days. So I"m hanging the whole plant this time because I prefer a long slow cure. After doing some research myself, I learned that hanging the whole plant will definitely increase drying times because the buds will still pull moisture from the fans. IMO the buds are still alive after the chop and they're still pulling all the water they can before they die a slow death.

Agreed on the drying, When you read and watch videos from back when and they say to cut main stems away and hang for almost 2 weeks. Then you do that and your buds are dry in 3-4 days. Even though Whole plants are a bitch to clean up when done hanging but that's why we do it so we have good smelling buds. Guess its just learning.
