My very first harvest pics

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.

Fucking nice man... Don't know about the drying... but they look nice...

I think I'm going to start mine early with the CFL lights under the canopy....

I also am trying to reveg my best two plants. One White Widow and one Durban poison. Never done this before either, but here are the pics of what I left on the plants and started 24/7 lighting again. I probably left about 2 oz of bud on these plants, but I didn't want to lose these beautiful mothers because I want to clone off of them. Let me know what ya'll think. Did I cut too much off, or not enough...

shouldnt you have cloned them before all this?

not bad man. You're in the right place to enhance your skills. Your next grow will be even better I bet.

Seedking, if my goal was just to get a female clone then yes. However, my goal was to get the biggest baddest plant of that particular strain out of my grow. I now will have exact duplicates of my biggest baddest white widow and my biggest baddest durban poisons if conditions are the same.

You should have trimmed those fan leaves, and some of the other large leaves off the buds before hanging to dry, its gonna be a pain in the ass to trim them once theyre dry.

im not much into the hydro growing more natural with mine but why are the leaves all brown and curled up?
