My first Closet Grow on Low Budget ( 2 x Aurora Indica 2 x Short Rider Auto ) 2012

Wow. Great looking buds man. Can't wait to hear how they smoke! Congrats. I'm sure it feels like you've waited a long time to get to that point!

I'm using 400w HPS dualspectrum. I had a 600W bulb but the temps were too high.
I'm a bit frustrated because this takes longer than I expected. I started my grow on 20 Feb

How long did you veg?

Please post dry weight. Nice growing too you brotha. look like you know what you are doing. keep it up. Do you have a hygrometer? RH might be causing the rot but idk as I have never grown indoors but all my buddies do and they have dehumidifiers and control humidity almost religously. anyways drop in my thread when you get a chance. peace.

So I just harvested. Fresh bud weight more than 1 kilo I think. Many buds I noticed more bud rot and some mold in the biggest bud. Cleaned really well and saved what I could.
The rot was caused by the big leaves covering the bud. The plant had many branches ripped by the cat and all the energy was focused in the main bud. While I was gone for 3-4 days the fan leaves dropped and there was no air circulation.

That's it guys Harvest day ( 155 days from seed ). Happy overall. I was surprised with more bud rot and mold at one of the biggest buds but it was nothing un-expected. I saved from it what I could and removed all the damaged parts. I think right now I have more than 1 kilo of fresh bud.

My girlfriend helped me with the trimming work and everything was put on drying in ~2-3 hours. I have some extra leaves ( the small parts from the trimming with sugar ) do you think I might use them for something?

Congrats man. The 1st picture in the last update has me tripped out! Did you have your light hung vertically on the right side wall? Why did it grow sideways like that? It's pretty rad looking to be honest with you. I'm going to venture out there and say it's one of my favorite pictures of all. Have you weighed it wet yet? How long do you plan on curing?

No vertical light. I just bend the main stem and the branches grown sideways. It was a mistake I think because didn't saved too much space. Also because the light was quite high the branches are quite long and can't hold the buds weight. Didn't weighted wet yet.
I'll leave them dry in a big box for ~1 week and then place the buds in the jars and continue the cure process. I think ~2 weeks.

Guys. A quick update. I got from the 2 indicas ~7 full jars. Each jar has aprox ~750grams capacity. I'm pretty happy with the results.

A-Z pics of my entire grow. Hope you like it. Good luck with your plants. Keep it safe, cheers!
