The day that I've been looking forward to for so long has finally come.:mrgreen: I have for the first time in my life smoked weed I personally grew, which alone makes me so happy I cant stop smiling and to top it off it is actually good, its a little harsh but I kinda quick dried a small bud I cut a few days ago its about the size of my pinky finger. the way I figure it after a proper dry and cure I'm sittin on some decent smoke :hump: heres a pic of what I smoked



So right after smokin a bowl of it I decided to cut down one of the 2 plants, I hear you get a different high the longer you let it bud (but before the thc starts to degrade) So heres a pic of the buds drying I only cut off the leaf's that didnt have any crystals, I'll trim them up better after they dry a little more

DID I MENTION HOW F*CKIN HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW, I'M STONED OFF MY OWN SH*T LIFE IS GOOD :blsmoke:

Way to go .. great job! that lil bud looks good, can't wait to see dry shots of that bud hanging and I soo can't wait to feel the feeling you're feeling, lol I dried some of my male flowers and smoked them, that alone felt pretty good, smoking something I grew, I can only imagine the feeling smoking the bud.

How soon do you plan on harvesting the rest?

Ok so I trimmed up the rest of the buds, here's a few pic's.

The buds on the left are the ones I'm going to cure and smoke, the trim in the middle and the smaller buds on the right will be used to make hash (I have never smoked, seen or even seen someone that sells it) so this should be cool.


Here's a close up



I weighted the buds on the left 43 grams and the smaller ones on the right 14 grams, which puts the plant at just under 2 oz's, I'm really not sure how much more they'll shrink as this is my first harvest, I live in the desert so their pretty dry already (any info will be helpful) but even if they lose half their weight that still puts the one plant at close to 1oz. I know the buds are small, and this isn't the best harvest but for my first time growing I think I did pretty good. I also still have the other plant, I think I'll cut down this weekend. This plant has fewer buds but their twice as big, here's a few pic's of it.



and a close up

for better coverage you can also stand one of the flouros in a corner of the closet. when you first posted even though the roots where intertwined some they were small enough to seperate them. At this point your going to need as much light in that closet as you can and hope they are all females.

No I really dont think that it'll end up being a final dry wieght, but like I said I live in the desert with low humidity so they're pretty dry. I really dont know how much they're going to shrink any info would be great

Thanks for the info guys, what ever the final weight ends up being I'll still be happy, shit I'd be happy with a joint. the way I figure it the yield will work its self out once I get all my ducks in a row and actually learn more about growing. Thanks again

This was one of the best threads I have read yet, great job on the grow. Those buds looked yummy. I have been doing some research on growing for about a month now, and I think I learned almost as much from reading this than in all the past pages read. I think I am going to start off with CFL and see where it takes me I was also thinking about Flouro's I need to price it out and see what is in my budget. Again brother great job, you just got my hopes up.
