Two Trainwreck's 400w HPS, LST, Closet Grow

Fed them both water yesterday. I'm now starting Greenhouse's "harvest window" which is 8-9 weeks flowering, and looking at some little buds I could swear I saw some amber on the raggedy one so.... might be cutting her down later today, tomorrow, soon anyways :) :chainsaw: I have a 30x Jeweler's loupe (Suurennos (magnification)= 30x) ... but it sucks. Can't find those radioshack ones here :mad:

The better one is still going strong and grew a lot last week. Going to let her grow in peace until I can see a little amber.

More pics :jointsmile:

Man the toughest part! Juuuust about there!

Geez I wish we were neighbors.... Nice plants and well deserved. Way to go!:thumbsup:

Nice looking tw, Finn. You should be all set for a bit.

Dam Fin.... I think you might have tipped the scale towards me getting some Femed Trainwreck.. Bud look nice and fat is the smoke/taste/high as good as every1 says.? Plants look great tho hope you get what you wanted o yield man good job:thumbsup::thumbsup:

looks like you will have a great 4/20

Thanks for the kind words everyone :jointsmile:

Been way too baked to reply in the last day. :stoned::stoned::stoned:

I cut down the ugly one today. Trimmed her and put her into a paper bag to start drying. The humidity is pretty low here and it would be a pain in the ass to hang up all those branches :D

I'm gonna leave the other one for a couple more days and see if she stops growing. Just a couple pics from harvest. I trimmed it well and it weighed in at 205 grams really wet. So I'm guessing it'll be about 40-50 grams... maybe a little less since it's still really wet from being watered the other day. I'll get some more pics up of the manicured buds in a few days when I transfer them into mason jars.

Killer- Last harvest I didn't get to cure it properly, so the taste was nothing special... this time I will do it the right way and report back with the taste, i guess in a month or two... but the potency has never been a problem, sometimes it's a little much (if that's possible) :jointsmile:

damn, i missed this log too bigtop! my bad.

subscribed (a tab bit late). i'm gonna come back and read it all later.

Thank's Shake! :jointsmile:

It's an easy read... lot's of pics, not too much text :D

just the way i like it!

Alright so smoke report will come sooner or later. One more thing Fin which way would you suggest/prefer to grow the trains. And which do you think one might better yield of of growing it.? Couple people I know like the trainwreck, So I am thinking about getting hands on some them seeds. Just interested on your opinion of growing style since you have tried them couple different ways?:jointsmile::cool:

The LST was nice and simple compared to the SCROG... With the problems I had I wasn't liking the SCROG too much, but after harvesting one of them I was pretty surprised at how much was there. I think I will continue to scrog in the future, but I will cut the screen into triangular pieces and have one individual screen for each plant. That way it's easier to move them around, transplant, flush, etc.

I've seen some others grow tw normally, and their yield didn't look that impressive. I'll report back with the final yields. I estimated about 50-60 grams from one LST'd plant vegged 4 weeks in my first grow. This time they were maybe a little larger when I switched to flower. If the healthy one weighs in around the same as the LST'd one, I might just do the LST from now on. My Scrogging could still use some perfecting, so I'll be trying both in the future still.

Okay Fin I appreciate your opinion on this, Once I get everything set up for myself I plan on trying some TW and a few others not to sure tho. I wanted to try Chronic but have not really heard much on it. But like I said B4 you got me leaning twords TW so I got 1 of my 3 strains already lol. Thanx Bro.:thumbsup::cool: If you got any recommendations I am all ears.:D Not trying to jack ur thread or nuffin either:jointsmile:

Hey no worries bro :jointsmile:

Some of the best stuff I've smoked that my friends have grown are Inca Spirit (mostly sativa, maybe 100%), Auroa Indica, and White Russian. I think I'm going for the White Russian next time. 10 seeds for 70â?¬, I'll pop a few plus my fem TW and try and make a cross with a male WR... Then I won't have to worry about seeds for a long time :)

If I order from Greenhouse again, I'd get one of the mix packs... I think they have a couple with the TW...

Yea I wanted to try and get color coded Greenhose Fem with some TW and other mix.

Thanx Bro.:thumbsup:

Took her out today to look at the trichomes in the sunlight. All clear and a few amber ones here and there... maybe 5%. In my own eyes, it still appears to be growing. I haven't watered since Friday, (4 days ago), and the pot feels like it still has a bit of water, so I think I'll let it be for a couple days. I just don't want her to get over-ripe, and I'll wait until 10% amber until I cut her down.

The other one is still drying. It's lost half it's weight already. Granted I have been testing it out a little :stoned::stoned::stoned: with the oven dry technique... 2 hours at 65C. Trichomes stay in tact and don't look much more amber than the wet ones. Mighty powerful stuff :jointsmile:

nice job finn.:thumbsup:

Dive:stoned:

damn son! hell yeah!

man, i can't wait to get a real light!

awesome job finn.

Thanks Dive and Shake :jointsmile:

I said all clear before, I meant to say all cloudy, with a little amber :stoned::stoned::stoned:

But I'm gonna keep looking at it daily so it doesn't get over done.

She looking good Fin bet ya can't wait to try some when it is properly cured..

OK...finally I cut the other one down this morning. It flowered for 63 days. Might have been able to stretch it out, but the first batch is pretty stony already, so maybe this one won't get me so comatose :stoned:

I gave her some water on Wed or Thurs, so it's not as wet as the first harvest. This one, after trim, weighed in at 235g (the first one was 205g and really wet).

First harvest is already dry and curing. Weight as of now is 56g... add in the 5g i gave away plus at least another 5g smoked, so anywhere between 60-70g from that one ugly girl. She's starting to lose that wet grass smell, and it's a really sweet and pungent smell now. Still burping the jar a little every now and then to get the nugs a little dryer.

From the looks of things, I think I'll be Scrog'n again :jointsmile:
It's a pretty big pain in the ass, but it's worth the extra grams for sure. Honestly, I was pretty pessimistic during the whole grow, but the results so far have been quite surprising, especially in terms of yield. My goal was 100g, later I was hoping for 80g, now it looks like I'll have at least 120g... but I'll update with the final weight once this one is dry.

Here's a few pics from just before harvest and after. I'm gonna hang them for a couple days, then use paper bag, then into glass jars. (Sorry the pics kinda suck)

Here's some pics of the ugly one. Very dense little nugs packed with crystals...mmmmm.....:jointsmile:

looks tasty. :thumbsup:

you can order one of those microscopes online. or you could have a buddy from the states send you one!

Thank's HELL, I want the 10 dollars you said you'd pay me to post nice compliment's

lookin forward to your next grow finn :thumbsup:

Dive:stoned:

LOL...(check's in the mail)

Starting an internship in Amsterdam at the end of July... depending on what kind of place we find, my growing might be on an extended break :(

But, I don't think I'll be short of good weed anytime soon :jointsmile:

nicely done, Finn. remind me, what is the internshop all about?

Dam the buds look awesome tops good luck with that internship also.:thumbsup:

Thanks Shov and Killer :jointsmile:

I basically started college all over again when I came here to Finland... part of my curriculum includes a 100- working day "practical training" experience. Cool thing is that I can do it anywhere in the world basically, and I'll receive money from my school and the Finnish government to pay for everything :):):) Socialism ain't all that bad (I'm sure my opinion will change once I have to start paying taxes though :cool: )

Very difficult to find an apartment though :( Growing might not be an option until next year :mad:

Well Tops just make sure you have ya enough smoke to hold ya over. I hope you won't try to grow in a apartment you are not comfortably in or not in the right location you like.:thumbsup::jointsmile:

For sure :jointsmile:

I can get a little paranoid at times... I don't think I would ever grow in the U.S. with your laws. Here, you get fine if you get caught. They also take away your grow equipment, which would piss me off more than the fine!

Anyways, we'll see. Growing in Amsterdam isn't too risky, since by law they just take your plants away if they find them...

I just played catch up with your grow log. Looks delicious! If your "ugly" girl looked like that, I can't wait to see the "pretty" girl lol. I'm looking forward to reading a smoke report. Well done!:hippy:

It'll be interesting to compare the yield and smoke reports between the 2. I mean for you to compare LOL! So happy to see you almost done! Good for you! And even if the 1 doesn't smoke as well as you would like, there's always hash! Or eating it!:D

You should try to re-veg your best plant and veg it back out, cut clones, and do it again!:jointsmile:

Just some pics I found on the internet.:thumbsup:

Hey those pics of girls you found were they topped or LST'D??? By the way those are beautys
