I've been lurking here for quite some time. I started waaaaay back in the day at OG, and kinda migrated over.
I've been reading, saving my $$$, and biding my time. Let me start at the beginning...
A few years ago, being recently moved and in a strange city, I was having trouble getting hooked up. I decided to turn to the Internet and the OG forums. My curiosity for growing was piqued, and I devoured everything I could, from online grow reports (you guys rock!) to whatever I could find for free on hightimes.com from cervantes. When the crew I knew for OG moved over here, so did I.
I decided off the bat that if I ever grow, I would go hydro, for the challenge and bragging rights. I starting lurking in the forums here and absorbing your vast knowlege.
After a few years, I had saved a few grand in "seed" $$$. I've spent just a fraction of it on a home-made closet, and some fine, fine canadian genetics.
Fast-forward 6 months. the cabinet was constructed (a learning experience!). In my home-made bubbler, 5/6 beans sprouted male (sadface!). But I didn't let that get me down! I babied that last litle girl!!! You guys would be so proud!
I started a detailed grow log, with temps, humidy, PPM, Ph and water temps. I tracked my progress daily, optimizing the grow conditions. My little girl GREW!
Anyways, to make a long story short, I chopped her down today. I trimmed all the fan leaves and hung her upside down in my darkroom w/ the fan on. Afterwards, I cleaned the residue off my scissors into a bowl, and tried to estimate the amount of dried bud. I'm not even going to hazard a guess here until I lose some water weight and get some pics; but, I'm VERY happy w/ yield.
I'm going to smoke that fat wad of scissor residue in my bowl right now, and I'f I get get high, it's all thanks to you ;)
