3 blueberry seedlings

[Markass]

I forget why not to use a plastic container...but no, use canning jars for the best flavor

[orangeman]

Damn, I keep all my bud I have right now in a pill bottle. I guess I'll just use glass jars for my harvest.

[Weedhound]

I keep small amounts in pill bottles orangeman. Large amounts I keep in glass jars but I've heard you can vaccum seal them etc etc....that's plastic....tossing in a pointless comment here.....now I'm leaving.....bye. :D

yo how about some close ups of your buds :stoned:

[orangeman]

Soo. Found any seeds yet Mark? I actually think my plant is pollinated lol. Of course the two plants are different but the one on the right has bigger calyxes already. I know they are suppose to get bigger because it's growing but man those calyxes looked swollen like crazy when I seen them yesterday.

no way to know until I cure it and break into those colas...I know that some of the smaller ones have visible premie seeds, there is I know, just don't know how much. all that heat in your space o/m, you can expect hermies.

[Markass]

they're at least 85-90% dry, a couple stems are still kinda bendy, but all seems mostly dry.


I got 187 grams, which is 6.6 ounces.



if they lose much anything else I'd be surprised I think...I'll probably weigh again before I put to cure...But it dried QUICK in a 25-35% humidity closet @ 99 degrees..it's in paper grocery bags now to kinda finish up the drying process

[Weedhound]

Lovely, lovely. That's a pretty damn good haul there Mark...have you tried any of the biggest buds yet?

[Markass]

nope, I've got a little popcorn piece I'm about to burn up, the biggest piece yet..I'll leave the big ones for being cured, then it'll be more interesting for me :)

curious weedhound...if you're on IM right now would you message me if you think you could answer a question about curing..

[Weedhound]

Mark, sorry, I am just leaving....have a drs appt blah, can you e-mail me my man? I can get back to you this afternoon. I will take some close up photos of my buds for you but I can promise you won't see much....I'll try to adjust the image on my pc to magnify and see if it helps.....

congrats on your grow Mark.....good job I'll look for your e-mail. :)

[Markass]

hold off on the 6.6 ounces, I'm going to cut off the excess stems and shit..

[Markass]

after a final clean up of stems and shit and manicuring I'm down to 6 ounces. I wouldn't have probably even half of it had I not used a cool tube and been able to keep the light so close..I'm satisfied, but will be even more satisfied once it's cured.

[r00tdoctor]

Looks like great smoke , and a nice yeild bro. Will be waiting for your smoke report.

Well I think one is developing but so far I've been able to keep temps good. I keep fan running all the time now and the temps are usually 80-86. That really isn't all that high I don't think. I just hear temps 90+ are bad. I try to stay away from that, I also help temp stay down by just not having the dehumidifier running all the time but at the same time now my humidity is 50-54. But I guess that's alright too :-/.

I had no issues with hermies until I got dehumidifier and temps went from mid seventies to 80 to about 85 steady...85 is bad, 90 is worse...at those temps you're likely to see hermies, but that's just from my experience.

[mythin]

your final product looks very nice, how does it smoke?

[Markass]

haven't smoked much yet, but what I have smoked I'm happy with. :thumbsup:

[Shovelhandle]

good crop, Markass! Two ounces per plant.

Shov

[Markass]

yeah, not bad for a little 250 I guess...I couldn't have seen it being much better :stoned: it's in jars now and I'll be on mold patrol hardcore...:thumbsup:

[Markass]

question about curing...my buds still had some moisture, I read that this is normal about 15% moisture, however would it hurt for the first days or so opening the jars for an hour or so a couple times a day even just for a while until I feel safer?

[orangeman]

after a final clean up of stems and shit and manicuring I'm down to 6 ounces. I wouldn't have probably even half of it had I not used a cool tube and been able to keep the light so close..I'm satisfied, but will be even more satisfied once it's cured.

Yeah that's what I was thinkin' since I don't have a cool tube I will continue to leave my fan blowing on the light and hopefully that'll be enough coolness for my plants to grow closer to the light without problems. I hope I get at least half of what you got lol. Your harvest is just wow. It looks so amazing. Nice job I love it! :hippy:

edit: I just read above and all I can say is we'll have to see. Hopefully they don't give in to stress so easily and create hermies. I'm sorta expecting it now since you said it has happened in your time but still hoping that it doesn't.

[Weedhound]

Reverse boys....Reverse!!!!;)

[orangeman]

Reverse boys....Reverse!!!!;)

Yeah Weedhound I guess I might as well, I'm gonna get some Reverse. I don't want any fuckin hermies.

edit: It also says that I should use Dutch Master Penetrator with the Reverse...Should I?

i'm starting to think that as long as you have a good supply of fresh air circulating around the plants,it seems that temps aren't as big an issue as some may believe

ok,i've started 8 plants in 3 grows,present grow excluded
i've had 4 male 4 female and no hermies,now the temps in my grow area,well lets just say they rarely get below 85,they often go over 100 though tend to spend most of their light time around 95,and same goes for humidity,only time it goes over 20% is when lights are out,just look at the thermometer in any pic i've posted,but that's with a good supply of fresh air from an open window and a fan,and so far i've averaged 4 oz per plant

but i'll just point out that this is the way things are for me and wouldn't encourage anyone to grow like this unless it's all you have to work with,just pointing out you can grow quality weed in high temps

[atsar]

6 oz,that's excellent man,looks like quality weed too

[Markass]

here some pics are of a few buds, certainly not the best I've seen or smoked but it took me 4 months and a lot of work to get it and I'm sure proud of it:stoned:

[JackHerer]

And quite right too Markass the buds are class. :thumbsup: What strain have you got planned for the fourth grow?

[Weedhound]

They arent the best? I realize you had some issues but.....trichs were so kick ass....and so many......???

[Markass]

seeing the buds that I've seen it doesn't even try and compare, I gave my bro a couple little pieces for this morning and he was surprised, it works though.

I'm turning 18 in 3 days and I'm going to be moving into a duplex, no growing for a little while and as for the next strain I would imagine a feminised cotton candy mix and/or blueberry again...feminised is too convenient for me to turn away from and I've got a plentiful supply of beans at the moment. I'm intending on acquiring the knowledge of hydro though and plan to do it next if I feel comfortable with it.

[Weedhound]

He was good surprised or bad surprised? Does it just not have the oomph? I just looked at your bud pics again and all those lovely crystals....I'm surprised too....

[JackHerer]

I have seen & smoked better looking imported buds Markass, but not from anyone growing in the country I live just now. I have some friends who have been growing for about 10 years & I don't buy anything off them because the buds they sell on don't have half the trichs or crystals. Hard to tell from pics but the trichs look clear to cloudy so is the buzz heady?

it's kinda varied...some pieces have more ambers than do others...those buds with nice direct light are those with more ambers but like I said I haven't got into much of it yet..I may dig me something out in a little bit though.

Mostly milky...very few are clear except for on underdeveloped stuff..some are probably 15% amber at the most from what I've looked at on the scope so far

[Markass]

:thumbsup:

well look who decided to stop by and check out my harvest :thumbsup: what's going on?

[Weedhound]

Yeah there's a lot of time when you think you've seen Scarlet but then you're not sure if it was her......:D

[xcrispi]

Good work man ,
6 OZ. x 28.3 G = 170 g / 250 w. = .68 GPW .
Coming up on almost 3/4 gram per watt. You have much to be proud of !:thumbsup:

Thats the best I've ever done so far ? I been dickn around off -n- on for 17-18 years . Last time was 3lbs x 454g =1362g / 2000w = .68 GPW .

Getting close to the "Fabled" 1 GPW . I guess you know your the shit when you can boast this claim ? I honestly don't think I'll ever see this w/o Co2 or crazy expensive upgrades that aren't gonna happen .

Keep up the good work man , keep yourself high enough you never get blinded by greed or dollar signs . You'll always have Funk while the punks smoke Junk . Stay cool .
Crispi :jointsmile:

[Markass]

thanks crispi, you've kept me from making a lot of dumb mistakes :thumbsup:

I never considered Co2. Do you think since my plants are almost always closed up it would be a good idea to give them Co2? I found a cheap solution, I thought it might work since I only have two plants, or do you really think it's not necessary?

Ican't wait to get Mark into the hydros.....:D

[mfqr]

Haha, very nice bud, Mark. A very successful grow, even if it isn't the best stuff you've smoked. Just think, next time you will grow some even better stuff ;). Keep workin' on upgrading your technique, and your bud will get better.

[mythin]

I can only hope my grow turns out half as well as yours, looks like you had a great time!

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, Markass. Nice looking buds, for sure, man. That's a large savings you have grown yourself, man. A couple k in your area, for sure, eh? ;) Well, damn, man I didn't know you weren't 18 yet! Very well done. One would never know. Probably one of the first "Younger" grows I've seen go the full distance. Hang your cure bags on your skateboard rack, huh? lol Good job, man. Good luck when you get your own place. I enjoyed the log. :thumbsup: Happy Birthday, when it comes, too. :D Rasta.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[Markass]

thanks fog :stoned: yeah, big step for me right now but as long as I wont have to spend money on as much smoke it should be easier for me to manage..:)

[Markass]

couple macros I took with 30x loupe on end of camera lens...gonna fuck with light and stuff and will probably be able to get better more clear shots..can kinda see some amber though, and the yarn fibers :stoned::thumbsup:

I've taken 2 hits and I'm pretty buzzed, and it's not like I'm real stoned but I'm the sort of person that doesn't necessarily have to smoke a lot, just enough to make me feel better, you know? I'm very satisfied with my harvest, and I can't wait for it to cure:stoned:

[JackHerer]

Those pics look really nice Markass, I can see what your on about re the amber trichs. :thumbsup: Good to see its just the type of effect your looking for.

[Celeste]

Ican't wait to get Mark into the hydros.....:D

oh hell, and the hydro witnesses are founded....

:jointsmile: stop converting people until you grow a plant in dirt! :p

hi mark! great grow!! i can't wait to try fem bb (i just happen to have some...) in dwc, your grow is without a doubt inspirational!!! if i only had the room....

love, lestie

[Markass]

thanks lestie :thumbsup: this was my first one that went all the way through, and it probably wouldn't have had several people not helped me out, this is definitely a community full of caring stoners :stoned:

[Weedhound]

yarn fibers, lol.....for me it's dog hair. :)

[Rock.Steady]

Dam fine lookin nugs bro!:thumbsup:

[smoke_and_fly]
