I just want to thank everyone for a successful first grow. It is absolutely beautiful and I couldn't have hoped for better. I started about 14 plants in bubbler, drip systems and aeroponic system and all turned out to be male except 7 plants. 4 white widows 2 durban poisons and 1 island lady. I have completely dried one plant and have started the drying process on all the others. Not sure why, but a bag of this durban poison that looks like it should be 1 oz is only 1/2 oz. It is very fluffy and doesn't weigh much at all. I wonder if I am drying it too much. Here is a pic of the remaining 6 plants hanging. This isn't all of the remaining six... I only had room to hang about 4 plants here and 2 are hung elsewhere. This stuff is so sticky... I let it sit in the dark for 3 days before I harvested and I think I got a really good result, because I got so fuc*ed up on the white widow last night. It is a very long lasting high that just kept escalating. I used 1000 watt hps and about 5 florescents for side lighting. I started the side lighting a little late because I realized that the middle of the plants and the bottoms of the plants were all turning brown because the plants were so thick at the top and blocked all the light. So I would have gotten a much better yeild had I used side lighting from the very beginning. I am still very happy with what I have accomplished. I will let everyone know what the final yeild is. How do I know how much to dry it? I let is dry for 3 days in Arizona. It is about 25% humidity in the garage where they are drying. Thanks again to all for the major help.
