I've just been fucking around with it... not taking it too seriously. Most of my plants died... but hey, that is how you learn I guess. I've only got 4 plants going now. A Northern Lights, an Afghan, and Orange Bud, and a 'bagseed'. Hopefully I'll end up with at least one female (and hopefully from the 'good' strains). I planted the bagseed first, so it is like 3.5 feet tall. My NL is about 1.5 feet tall. My OB and AF are just starting so they won't yield much.
I'm not sure how the harvest is going to turn out. I'm not risking doing anything weed related at my house since it is not worth losing my property in the unlikely event someone smelled something funny and ratted me out as a criminal (even though I am growing purely for personal use). So I'm going to dry at a spot outside in airtight containers with newspaper in them that I will "breath" and change the papers in once a day. I've gotten mixed opinions on the board about whether that will even work, but I'm going to give it a try anyway.
Awesome! Man you two hit me up sometime we should get together...
JSN yeah i was that way at first i kinda just fucked around with it then one night when my friends and i were really stoned we went to lowes drew up dimensions for a box bought wood and came back and built a hugeass cabinet in my walk in closet which is now armed with 9 highest watt CFL's. I harvested my first plant but to no avail it sucked ass and tasted like shit and didnt really get you all that high. My plant that is in the box now is AZ. I dont know if you are familier with this strain i got introduced to it on the streets around here in GSO otherwise i hadnt ever heard of it. Usually runs 10 a g 55 a quarter and smoked nice and smooth and gives a great high. Well i finally found a seed in one of my AZ bags (they have like no seeds in them) and planted it and luckily it came out to be female. Well i got more serious with this plant started fuckin around with advanced growing stuff and this plant is now 4 weeks into flowering and is around 5 feet tall and about 3 and a half feet wide. My last grow was no where near this wide they were mostly just tall but this one takes up my entire cabinet almost its crazy. Trichrome development on this plan is rediculous as i started using molasses some i hope this harvest turns out better.
My next plan is im changing my cabinet to a shelf SOG grow. Ill shelf off 3 different compartments that will be air tight and light proof inside of the cabinet and use one for clones one for veg and one for flower. I would like to move up to harvesting every month instead of growing huge plants and waiting forever to flower. ALthough! I have tried some new things, i boosted the wattage on this grow by 3 42watt cfls and have noticed a tremendous improvement on the rate the plant is maturing, buds are heavier than my last plant already and trichromes are just rediculous on this one, i incorporated in 2 10.0 UVB 18watt reptile bulbs that you can get at petsmart as i have been doing extensive research on the use of UVB light and trichrome development. I only leave them on for around 3 hours a day but have noticed a slight improvement on trichromes but im still debating if its really going to boost it enough to be worth keeping those lights in.
NE who yall message me i got lots of toking friends we are all chill and would love to have new people over to hang..not to mention we need new connects like mad because our connections supplier got busted a few weeks ago so its been hard to find anything latley! :-(
Sounds sweet Tim. Check out my profile and drop me a line at my e-mail address. I'd love to get together sometime and talk more about this stuff, exchange ideas.
It turns out all three of my surviving plants went male on me (sucks, I know). But I still have some Orange Bud, Afghan, and Northern Lights seeds I had ordered before my grow. I don't want to wait until Spring to plant outside again, but I might have to. Anyway, we should definitely meet up and exchange ideas sometime.
Sucks to hear your connections supplier got busted. Sounds like soon enough you won't even need a connect anymore. :-) I've had the hardest time finding bud around here, but I think that is mainly b/c I'm pretty quiet about my activities and don't know many fellow tokers. But I do get my hands on some Trainwreck from a dude I know who gets Fed Ex'd from California now and again. ;-). That strain kicks my ass, I love it.
Yeah... so definitely hit me up so we can talk more. I'd love to make a new toker friend or two.
