Your friend is doing very nice to have overcome problems. They are green and lovely. Nice trichomes starting too. Won't be too much longer and your friend will have a bunch that want to be his friend. Enjoy.

oh ya there only 20 days into flower. and that little one is only 10 days in flower. it was ano ther friends who instead of chopping her gaxe her to me i didnt have room so i gave her to him. so it is just a gravey plant. we figure an ounce or two off her.

looking good so far....you guys will have some good herb off of those for sure! :jointsmile:

[spankey]

we are estimating about 6 to 8 oz off the big one and 2 to 4 oz off the middle one. and 1 to 2 off the small one. im teaching him all i know(most of which i got here and a few other sites)

hi mate do you know, whats the light hes using?
great growing =]

thanks. :thumbsup:

[spankey]

cheap 400 wat hps. only thing about this grow that was good only 2 wall sides gave reflection. one opened to room. im amazed at there growth and production.

I resemble that remark.

My grow was so bad last year my buddy called it the Aushwitz (sp?) grow. Barely enough to survive. I had water issues and it was pretty poor.

Don't put the cart too far ahead of the horse, you might lose sight of it altogether. If you pull 6-8 off of a stretched indoor plant under a single 400, you better put some serious details on here. We would all want to know how that happened. Here's a picture of an indoor grown under 2x400's, happened to be my largest plant. Gave me just under 3 dried and cured.

Realistically in your situation, or your buddies, I think 2 and some change on the large one is more in the ballpark. Don't be surprised if it's less. It takes most of us years and lots of wasted cash to figure out how to push plants to yield to their potential. I personally would consider anything you pull off those plants to be a success. Don't measure your success in terms of yield, measure it in terms of what you have learned in the process. The next grow is always better:greenthumb:

I didn't want to be the one to burst his bubble! I thought the same thing when i started growing....that I would be getting 5-8 oz a plant! boy, was I wrong! I've been growing indoor on my own for over a year and am still learning everyday! You look like you are doing good, but don't be disappointed if you only pull a smaller yeild.....you will get better in time....we all do! good luck man! :jointsmile:

[spankey]

his grow is looking better and better everyday. one has such a nice smell.

[tboner1]

I agree that every grow is a learning adventure-what about everybody putting their best tips/enlightenments cultivated by blood, sweat, tears, and a lot of $$ and we could all help out a lot of people. I'll start with a tip about tying and training. I like a 19 gauge wire-preferably coated, because it's sanitary, reuseable, easy to bend yet rigid enough to manipulate positions. Pass it on!

[spankey]

we chopped the 2 big ones down. his late addition has no idea what to do with all the light. she looks so lonly there all by herself. we have them in a dryer now. it is looking like 1 1/2 to 2 off the little one and 3 maybee 4 off the big one. we will post pics after the dry and have total dry weight.

[ForgetClassC]

Really, chopped it down already? They didn't look very done at all. Any pictures of the tricomes?

-C

[spankey]

they were 35% amber on the little one and about 50% amber on the big we wanted to wait a week but he girl wanted them down they were to stinkie.

[whitem5]

Yea i would deff lower my expectations a tad on those numbers my dude lol... My old setup was a single digital lumatek 400w hp in a completely sealed off grow tent and the highest yield i got off a single plant was just under 5 ounces and that was under premo conditions and care.. Heres a pic of her a week b4 harvest..

[spankey]

ok final wieghts on the smaller one he got 1.3 oz on the big one he got 4 oz 22 grams. it smokes nice.

[ForgetClassC]

Any final pictures? Man, really 35% amber, those pictures look like the trics just started growing, would like to see some pix.

[spankey]

those pics were taken 3 weeks or so before harvest the sugar fairy was generous. sorry no pics my camera was stollen a week ago. sucks im trying to get a new one.

[RideTheWave]

Sorry but if you took those pics in your first post on april 22, I can not believe you when you say you got 1.3 oz and 4 oz nd 22 g's. Those were nowhere near ready,even between now and the 9th when you cut them.The buds look nice as hell but they're still small. Not to mention how could you have managed to trim, dry and cure almost 6 ounces in a weeks time. I smell BS on this one,sorry mate.
