I checked quickly on plant #1. They are cloudy. But like I said if it needs more time I can give em an extra week before I go to my honeymoon.

Day 84 of 12/12:
All is well. Just posting some quick pics. They are looking nice and filled out. Keep in mind i'm sharing my 400 watt with 4 plants total. So these two are essentially receiving 200 watts and my other two, which Iv not been showing, have the other 200. Not bad for 200 watts!

It is very hot outside today and probably for the next few months. My tent is 92f at 400 watts. Should I leave it at the 400 watt setting or would it be more beneficial to put my ballast at 250 watts and have the tent at 86f?

Ah you're having the same problem I had last month before I got A/C dude. That's probably why your bud is taking longer to ripen as well. I'd go to 250watt setting unless you get some AC in the tent or something. I've got AC in mine and it is still 84 or so just cause its crazy hot outside

Iv got an ac but its like 6 years old. it draws almost 900 watts and barely cools the room down. I need a new one! guess its the 250 watt setting for now.

Yea bro since the plants are winding down, it would be cool to go down on the setting to 250 anyway....it'll probably signal them to start maturing a bit faster and the lower temp will help that as well. If you got a way to replace that old AC it would be great since you could probably pick a window unit AC up for about 100 bucks at walmart. I had to get me a $250 one because I don't have a window to hang mine out....had to go with a stand up portable AC instead lol.

Day 92 of 12/12:
So I'm married and my house no longer has relatives! So before I go on my honeymoon Iv decided to chop. Plant #1 looks great! Its definitely done and has 90% cloudy and 10% red. Plant #2 has 5% clear and %95 cloudy. I think for my next grow Im going to do clones so all my plants turn out the same. Plant #1 definitely has more trics and finished faster.

Very nice plant #1 looks badass. Too bad it took til day 92 to get there. Hope your new wifie is really cool with it (and not just one of the ones who says they are then every time they're pissed at you brings it up...

The numbers are in!
Plant #1: 66g
Plant #2: 82g
Total 148g or 5.3oz
This does not include popcorn or trimmings and also about 6g of bud I forgot about and is still drying.
They are all quite dense and look lovely. The smell is better then my last grow and is fruity and dank. I have not smoked any yet but I will let you know how it tokes. Also consider this grow was practically under about 250watts the entire time. The led was 280 watts till it broke and then I put the 400watt hps in. The 400 was on 4 plants, the two you see here and two more that are finishing up. All in all I'm happy with the results. Just got to give it a toke.
