Cool
So no serious complications during your whole growth?


...
You did forget pictures didn't you? :D
No serious complications. Got some really brown leaves, even sugar leaves, and I really don't like that, from a bag appeal point of view, but that's something I can remedy. I'm sure it's a combination of probably getting too much light, too close, not enough N and not using cal-mag. I figured if I use some N on my next grow, especially early on, I can keep em greener, longer and then using the cal-mag will probably keep the yellowing away. I'll toss up some pics sometime tomorrow. Thanks for following along!

So, I went ahead and cut the bitch down tonight. I'm really happy with the yield, well what it looks like she'll yield, but I definitely fucked up some other stuff with this grow. But, hey, learning experience, right? I kept lowering and lowering the HPS, this is my first time every using HPS and it's only 150 watt, so I went by the whole, if it doesn't burn my hand, it's not too close method. Well.....that turned out to be bullshit in my case. Maybe it's because my RH was too low. But, I always heard that RH in the 30's isn't bad for flowering. I'm sure also my lack of nutes didn't help either. But anyways, I digress. I ended up with a shit load of bud, a few really big ones, but also, some really fucked up shaped buds.

This made it hard as hell to trim, plus, another thing I'm really not liking is how damn leafy she is. Also, I cut away a ton of bud that was just crispy and brown. But, it's my second grow, so not too upset. My last grow, I sold off the excess, people were paying 20 bucks a gram, this shit is so ugly, I probably won't get 10 a gram, but my goal for growing is to keep my gal pal in enough smoke that we don't have to buy and that is accomplished. Although she loved how "pretty" the last harvest was, she will literally pull out the jars and just look at them, she will still be excited that we have home grown shit to smoke, that smokes better than anything we can buy. That's all my rambling for now, I'll toss up some pics, as always, input, criticism, advice is welcome and greatly appreciated.

Hahaha...I have to be honest.
Those are some really ugly nugs! :lol::lol:
but! if it has the 'medicinal value' she's looking for... :bigjoint:

What I'd do is crush them after drying and curing. Or think about making hash.

What do you think caused them to go retarded like this? XD


I can't help man...................

Other than the retarded look, I think you did well again. Total days?
What are you planning next?


PS: Wait! Was that one plant?

Ha! I know man, ugly as sin! I think my erratic temps caused most of the issues. Between it being too cold and between getting the HPS too close, I burned them and got them too dry. She was so bushy and some of the buds were so dense, that I was worried about mold, so I didn't worry about the really low RH. I probably cut off between an 1/8oz and 1/4oz of bud material that was crispy.

She was about 98 days from seed, give or take a day or two.

Yes, ONE plant, that was only about 14 inches tall. She was a super bushy bitch.

My next grow is 2 NL autos and 1 PE auto, they just started pushing through the dirt today. Hopefully, I can learn from this grow and not replicate the same mistakes. I'm shooting for 8 zips from the next 3 plants combined, but I'll be happy with 5.

Thanks for following along with me. I'll be updating again in a few days after I get a dry weight. I'm guessing about 2.5-3 dry.
