Well guys the lights are all set and ready to go! All the sativas are in 12/12, and are looking great. I am gonna tie them up a bit later on today, just to even things out a bit. I'm gonna look at my finances, and I might order my solubles today...quote] post #818

TC you started your sativas on march 22 so im sure they are going to be finishing up here pretty quick for you. how many days or weeks were expected for flower time on them??

Nice use of the quote from like 3 months ago bro!! I'm gonna rep you if I can, but I think I just did the other day,lol! Any way, the Sativas are expected to go for 14 weeks, or there abouts. I'm planning on cutting them actually one month from today. It will be my 4th of July trimming spectacular!! Which I believe should be about 14. I want to give them as much time to put on weight as possible. Thats the latest I can cut them I think and still have them dry before I move. Really thats even cutting it close, so I might cut them on the 28th of this month so I have more time to dry them, and get my whole basement cleaned up! I still havn't told the land lord we are planning on moving out early, but I don't want to tell him till I have it all cleaned up, incase he desides he needs to come over. Once its dried for a week, I'll be able to jar it up, and clean up the basement. I'm gonna tell the landlord that I just got a job offer, and I'm sorry its last minute, but I have to take it. Its only 2 months early so hopefully he won't throw a fit about it, and we'll get our deposit back too! Any way, thats the plans. I'm gonna give the WW about 2 more weeks, and the rest about 4-5 more. I got some more peat plugs, and another greenhouse today, so I'll be cutting the rest of my clones in the next day or two, and hopefully I'll have lots and lots for my next grow!!! Peace guys!! TC

Lol, stocking up early huh? Fireworks are always fun though, even if its not the 4th of July. Last time we went and bought some, we went with like 300 bucks, and left with almost 900 bucks worth of fireworks cus of all the sales, and free shit they gave us. We had fireworks for like 3 months to play with.

Well there was an emergency evacuation last night!! I had to life line my WW to the drying rack, after I found more rot on the buds. I decided to chop her, when I noticed small spots of rot on almost all the buds. I guess there wasn't good enough air flow into those dense ass nugs. So I chopped her down, and seperated all the buds to let them dry faster, and remove any rotten spots. I think I got to her in time, I only had to actually remove a small amount of bud from it. The rest is in on a screen with a fan blowing over it. I hated chopping her early, and with out even flushing her, but I couldn't take a chance on loosing the bud.

I took a wet weight on the WW, and came up with 381g not counting the 15-16g I already smoked off her. I figure that will dry down to about 25% so just under 100g dry. I was hoping for 3 oz, so I think I'm gonna get a bit more and thats sweet.

I also chopped part of the "ornamental" power skunk. Its been growing really retarded, and I noticed yesterday that it went hermi. SO I chopped it, and its being made into butter as we speak. I had a whole roasting tray,(like I do my mushrooms in) filled with power skunk plant, and the WW trim. Then another whole tray full of WW, it was sweet. Felt great to harvest for the first time in a couple years. A few more weeks on the rest of the girls, and I'll be pullin them down too. I moved them all around, to try to get better air flow to the center, seems like its working. I've got the Kush in the center now right under the light, hoping it will bulk up, but its hermi too, so its trying to make seeds, not buds. It's gonna make some sweet hash though thats for sure. Well heres the pics, first is of the power skunk I cut, the rest are of the WW. Hope you guys enjoy!!

















Peace guys!!! TC

Bummer on the mold... good thing you caught it.

Congrats for the harvest, be it early or whatever. I'll smoke a celebration bowl for you. :clap:

It will be nice to harvest some even better buds in a few weeks.

It was only like a week early really, so its not that big a deal, I was gonna start flushing her today when I got water. I am however very glad I caught the mold. I'm hoping I can get them to dried out pretty quick, so no more grows. Then a cure hopefully. The buds I took off a week ago have been getting us wrecked, so I'm sure these will be even better!! I'm hoping that being able to move my sativas under the lights more will help them will in too!

I'm an outdoor guy and am curious. How does your humidity get so high indoors to start mold? I do suffer from it late in the summer (usually) when the RH goes to 80% here (or higher), but inside? I would think a simple dehumidifier would be enough to alleviate any mold problems.

Is it the system of hydro growing which makes it a steam bath with the lights?

I have a dehumidifier in my room and I have to constantly empty the resevoir. It has a 2 gallon tank and will fill up sometimes twice a day!

It was not cheap either, something like $200. It's a Maytag and I bought it around 4 years ago.

I am in my basement, so its damp, and I just didn't have the money for a dehumidifier unfortunately. I never thought it would be that bad, and didn't even seem that bad. I'm trying to keep the air moving better on the rest of the plants now. The rest of the plants don't have nearly as tight of nugs as the WW though. The other WW clones are right in front of the fan, so they get much better air flow. I honestly think I might get another 2-3 oz off the clones, they are looking amazing. I still havn't gotten my package from HTG, I tried calling today, but no one answered. I'll try again tomorrow! By tomorrow night I think most of the WW will be smokable, so I'm gonna stick it in a paper bag for the night prolly, and then air it out again the day after. Well i'll catch you guys tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by the thread everybody, its been fun, now we are coming into the home stretch! :peace: TC

looks good tc sucks bout the mold but eh still came out lovely... you should try adding a couple fans in there to circulate air that should help with the humidity a bit. GL! should have an update soon ,of the new batch we are at week 4 for it almost all BB this time around doing a few different techniques we will see how it effects yield.
